There's a difference between a fan and a fanatic, I'm on here and I'm only a fan, I find it very hard to get fanatical about things because when you're fanatical your judgment usualy goes out the window. I'm not knocking your enthusiasm though, you arn't alone in that, but a fanatical viewpoint is never as good as a balanced one. And without wishing to offend, this is coming across in your posts now.
You implied, and don't try to say you didn't. Your words were "they don't release their games to other people before me intentionally.". Either you've put what you meant very badly, or you are implying that it's important that you recieve the games first.
How does it mean "first", and not "same time"
Like I said, you're putting words in my mouth, (err. fingers)
Why does being upset that other countries are getting benfeits from this company, while mine gets squat mean I want it first/best? I specifiaclly asked for equal, nothing else. Any meaning you looked into past that is beyond my control.
You know that even if they did offer the game as a download (which they won't since the maximum file limit is way below 40Gig) that you will get the game early. You won't. The DL version wouldn't be available online until the day the game officially goes on sale anyway. That's marketing and it's sensible.
But if it was downloadable that takes your whole argument about marketing, production, shipping, blah, blah blah, out the window.
And yes, I can download 40 gig's in less than 7 hours, so even if it IS a FULL blu-ray disc, which is unlikely, I'd still download it, because it's take less than the 2-3 months your claiming shipping and packaging takes.
It's important, very important. You wouldn't make a good business man I can you that now. Like I said at the start of this post, a fanatical view is a flawed view. And your view is full of fantaicism.
No it's not. we covered that. My view is not without criticism. thereby is not fanatical. In fact, it's quite the opposite. But, you read a sig, and decided it meant the world. Oh well.
It's not technically free, you had to buy the PSP first. It's nothing more than a twis on the console + game bundles you see all over the palce.
So why can't I get it?
You're kidding right? Beucase it's not being run in America. GT Academy is not a cheap venture, it's costing Sony a lot of money. You have your own scheme, winning tickets to the Indy 500, we arn't getting tickets to the Silverstone GP. Sure you might prefer one over other but at least you have something. GT Academy is being from Europe, that's why the entrants are here. If you were that bothered you could always create UK PSN account and DL the GT Acedmy trial and if you win fly over to the UK for the next stage. I don't think they'd be bothere if you made your own way here.
Australians can go. Last I checked, they were a much longer journey than I.
In other words, you would rather the Japanese release was held back to match the EU and US relsease rather than Japan get the game when it's ready for them.
Why would it be ready for them sooner? What, you really think a language change takes time? All it takes is one guy who speaks
two languages, or God forbid, a computer that can translate. Which would take.... oh I don't know, 4 seconds? I doesn't take 3 months to package and ship 3 million discs.
You'll never get that ideal balance because the ideal is different for each and every one of us. There are more American cars in GT4 than there are American cars in Forza 3, there are more European cars in GT4 than there are European cars in Forza 3. Regardless of GT4 having a Japanese bias, it's not like we're limited to a puny few cars from other regions.
That's the problem. We don't have ANY puny cars from America. That's what irritates me. But we have a metric ton of Japanese puny cars.
And your numbers are comparing a game with "700" cars against a game with 400. So of course there's "more" in GT4. That doesn't make either perfect. I don't know squat about Forza, It's just the only real console sim I know of besides GT.
This isn't close to racial discrimination, it lacks both the importantce and the ethics. This is business, simple as that. The game is in production, it's being made by a Japanese company, based in Japan, by a Japanese workforce. The first iteration of the game is Japanese, so why hold that one back when there's no conflict for release until they have the US and EU versions ready? Global launches can and do happen, but there's still just as much work involved in making the game as staggered releases if not more so in terms of coordination. So a global release isn't giving you the game early, it's giving the Japanese the game late. I don't see any reason to do that. If it really bothers you that much simply import the game.
Did I call it racial discrimination? Oh, is this where you put another spin on my words? America/Europe/Australia is not a race, last I checked.
It does because you arn't seeing the bigger picture. You've admited that you're fanatical but you so far failed to see how this is creating a huge overreaction from yourself.
Oh God, again with this. And it was just covered before you posted this.
motivated or characterized by an extreme, uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics.
Am I uncritical?
Check your fanatic synonyms for a deeper understanding of my meaning by the sig you can't take your eyes off of..
enthusiast, devotee refer to persons showing more than ordinary support for, adherence to, or interest in a cause, point of view, or activity. Devotee is a milder term than any of the foregoing, suggesting enthusiasm but not to the exclusion of other interests or possible points of view: a jazz devotee.
I picked the ones out with actual relevance to my meaning in my sig, whereas you seem to have picked out worst case scenario everywhere possible to adhere to your case.

with another set of tracks and another set of cars, but at the same time, this would just have set back GT5 even further, and as such would almost certainly have been counterproductive.
