I'd say that describes it almost perfectly.According to Sheldon Solomon (check that dude out), people build their identity around a certain culture, and if anybody challenges their culture (and thereby their personality), they become instant enemies. Is that what's going on?
200k for GTA seems very low. Oh dear.
For reference, the qualifying time trial for round 1 last year had 262,683 entrants.

I am not sure to be honest. I don't see any other identifying info. There's this too though, 565,511 entrants for Practice Round 1.And that was a free demo on PSN, wasn't it? 200k may actually be pretty high, considering people had to buy the game to enter this year.
When it's legitimate constructive criticism, that's excellent. It's what every forum strives to achieve. Unfortunately, there's a lot of off topic random PD flaming going on at the minute, and a lot of their points are just incessant "PD is crap", "Lies, can't trust them, false advertising, court cases" etc. When a normal discussion thread gets invaded by that, it just opens the door for trolling.So much for the whining. Which leads me to a question: Why does some of you get so upset by people whining? I mean, it's mostly legitimate complaints the whiners have?
I guess I am one of those few people that have that specific playstyle that allows me to enjoy GT6. I love the game and play every night.Because some of us still love what Gran Turismo used to be. Back before patches were the norm, back before putting out an unfinished game with a list of stuff to follow months and years later, back before artificially inflating your content numbers was a thing, there were some great games.
GT5 and GT6 are decent games, but they're nothing compared to how spectacular some of the older games in the series were in their day.
Some of us remain in hope that the patches will make GT6 into the special game that it should be. Some of us remain in the hope that PD take some of the constructive criticism to heart in GT7, and produce a game that is worthy of being released in 2014/15.
It's great that people like yourself find the games to be so enjoyable. But understand that unless you have a very specific playstyle (which you probably do), it's tough to be totally satisfied with GT6. There are so many odd design choices that simply limit play to one way, and if you don't like it you're SOL.
While I somewhat agree with you @Imari I think what is more important is having a PSN friend's list that enjoys the same playstyle as you.
@Imari, I am talking about online racing - not chatting to PSN friends about your latest conquest of the stupid AI robots, or your latest lap times in the TTs.
Every night I have a blast with PSN friends racing online. Strangers join too. But it is the core group of friends that makes it so fun. After a while, if the strangers keep coming, I make them friends too.
I threw my hat into the ring this time around just because there's not much else going on. Same reason I'm now doing TTs I let slide in GT5.And that was a free demo on PSN, wasn't it? 200k may actually be pretty high, considering people had to buy the game to enter this year.

What?I decided to try it again after i just passed my drivers to test to see if i got any better. Aparently i got worse... Does that mean physics are possible different than real life? Wierd
What?
You're comparing a all-out timed lap on a race track to a drivers license test in which you probably didn't exceed 45 mph. No 🤬 it's different.
