Has the %age completed has changed how you play the GT series?

  • Definitely - everything I do in GT3 is aimed at finishing the game

Here's a spot quiz for you.

I was thinking the other night of what a pain in the arse it's been in GT3 lately going through the longer Professional races, and the Enduros, plus a couple of time trials, just to get to that magical 100% completed.

Looking back to the original GT, I felt under no obligation to complete all the races. I built what I want, when I wanted and raced against whoever I wanted. Eventually I just happened to complete all the races, but it was never really a big motivation in how I raced.

It was much the same in GT2 until I got to about 90%, then I decided to go through and clean up all the one make series. I got to 98.6% or whatever the figure was, and found out I had actually finished the game.

In GT3, though, the percentage completion seems a much bigger aspect of the game. Everything I've done in the game in the last 5-6 weeks (yeah yeah, some of us have jobs and partners) has been aimed at finishing the game.

I was wondering if others had had the same experience. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, I'd be interested in people's comments.
 
The thing that's really changed my style is the win ratio. I'm obsessed with it! I won't enter a race that I'm not pretty much certain I can win.

I've been moving up through the ranks steadily building up my garage, and spending money on cars. The one thing I really miss in GT3 over the original is the Nationality races. I loved entering, say, GB vs Japan in a 3000GT, and winning, then trying the same thing in a Cerbera.

I suppose that thinking about it, I'm only playing Arcade mode because of the % complete. I don't need to release the tracks, since no-one will play me (because I have no friends, and the ones I have are all rubbish at GT3 and hate being beaten! :D )
