I've bought every GT game so I feel entitled to bi!ch about anything I want, but I'll stick to things I havent heard so far....
1. FF cars---160hp cars that CANT, no matter what you do, go full-throttle in 1st gear? come on, & N2's are supposed to be normal, but I can't get any grip in a straight line even with S3's!--I can't even get any grip in 2nd gear with new (DC5) Integras unless im using S3's--S2's do alright once warmed up, but when cold & when old--no grip---just plain dumb
2. FF cars--I can't race anything with FF cars because there arent any comp for FF cars, & tires wear out to frickin soon (aside from horrible traction) & I have to pit every 10-12 laps....note that real-life RSX's & the like go 40 laps(whole Race) In the SCCA races & never pit....so let's fix the tire wear....& have something to race 220-300hp cars against, yeah??
3. A-spec point system--this I forgive because it's new, & I like it....but some races with 120 points are harder than 200 point races....they should give more balanced opponents...
4. SuperGT cars...a racing series where I can race them...without winning by 3 laps...
5. ALMS cars...C5R, Viper GTS-R, Camaro LM car,...& so forth---I want to race them! against something other than the frickin 800+ hp race cars--aka Mazda 787B & Sauber C9...
6. did I mention FF?
7. Rally--I used to love it, not enough of it--now I hate it & hope it dies!---I have watched a bit of Ice Racing---& they seem to think they get more grip on ICE(spikes in tires) & go faster than rally cars on dirt! (apparantly PD disagreed) so I hope they can fix that
8. I'd much rather have anything---above---than all the super-crap cars---Model T, Benz wagon, Fiat crapper, Bug--sorry guys, if I'm racing I want to go fast--at least respectable anyway--1000 miles? no thank you, 25 laps in a 40hp car on a 13mi track sounds like eating 6-week old dead fish to me
Good Things & Explaining
B-Spec--gay in principal, but needed if you must include 3-24hr races a 9hr race & an 8 HR race & 2 4hr races---most people get bored--why? cause it's almost impossible to have a competitive race that's that long...soooo if you keep them, keep the B-Spec
also::: Damage has already been discussed by the creator of GT...he has stated that it won't happen, because GT is about cars & loving cars & he doesnt like seeing them banged up---& said he'd never put it in----sooo I would not expect that...
fact is, PD won't make it perfect yet...why? because they want to improve it every time....guess what PD? youre running out of time...other games are coming out & people like them...these glitches & stupid things you put in games? people don't like waiting 3 years for a flaw--glitched game. but hey, at least they got the 3rd grade math correct this time & we can get 100%!!!----I'm gonna buy enthusia & like it! ha!
I'll just rent GT5 before I buy it....thats sad for someone with probly well over 1000 hrs of Gran Turismo time....heck I might have close to that on GT4 alone--but it just keeps nagging, all these stupid, avoidable, things they screw up
