Yea, they need to patch it in, cause accidents happen. The game asks you are you sure for everything, except in the important parts.
I've bought a couple of cars the same way. We should at least have the option to turn confirmation on and off.
Or just allow you to swap with your B-Spec drivers instead of forcing the sub-games to be separate.
That was one of the best features of GT4 and I can't for the life of me understand its omission from GT5.
Wish there was a way to save your race during a pitstop. Then load it up from where u left off.
This is kind of ironic, I'm not meaning to generalize, but many have been complaining about PD's choice to confirm purchases of cars/parts, installations of said parts, etc
But yet we want a confirmation notice for this. Sheer irony.
I tend to just hit the back button, I think. Or does that just move your cursor to the continue button? I know that's what I did in past games.Solution: make a habit of always pressing START to unpause.
Dang, that's gotta hurt.
Off-topic but at the weekend I'd been grinding Indy all day and then had a powercut. Since I'd been spamming the 'race again' option and never returned to the main screen it never saved. So I lost a good few hours work and Cr.2 million.
So yeah, I feel your pain.
How about you 'make sure' you're pressing continue instead of restart....
People are always going to complain.
If they had something that asked you if you wanted to restart, people would complain that it took to long to restart a license test or race. They don't have it and people complain.
If they didn't have an "are you sure" option before you bought a part, people would complain they bought a 10,00cr turbo, and those idiots at PD should have included an option that asked us.
Regardless, it sucks that it happened, but it could have been avoided by you, without PD having to include another menu. You can either make sure that you are on the continue button, or you can just hit the circle button to go back to the race.
Sorry, but this is just not right. There are a lot of complaints about GT5, but has the thought ever crossed your mind that there might be something to them? The sheer number of complaints might hint that there is quite a lot wrong with this game. Not all of them are justified, and a lot of them fueled by personal taste or even hate. But they can't all be baseless.People are always going to complain.

Looking at the case at hand, let's compare buying a part to accidently restarting a race.
Buying a part includes the following steps:
- entering the part menu choosing the part
- moving the cursor from "cancel" to "buy now"
- confirming that you want to buy the part
- confirming that you would like to install the part now
- confirming that the part was installed
Restarting a race includes the following steps:
Accidently buying a tuning part has a double safety net, but throwing away 23 hours and 59 minutes of a real time 24h endurance race happens at the accidental click of one button.
- entering the pause menu
- (accidently) moving the cursor to "restart race"
- pressing X to restart, race restarts
I'm sorry, but I don't see the proper perspective here. I find the double-confirm in the tuning shop annoying because I tend to buy a lot of parts at once. I also don't see the point of having a message which confirms that the part was installed, because an installation can not fail. If I can buy the part for the car, I can always also install it.
An endurance race however is not only one of the hardest tasks in GT5, it is an extremly demanding task for any game. Which game demands you to play 24h straight to complete one single task? (if they had wanted you to do such a race with pauses, they'd have included a save function). And here, they decide not to ask you even one question? "Warning! You are about to restart the race. All progress will be lost. Are you sure?". How hard can that be?
My apologies to you, but how someone can defend that is beyond my understanding.
This would probably lead to something getting broken if it ever happened to me. It shouldn't though, because I can't see myself ever running the endurances (not until I've got 2 PS3's).
I think most are in agreement about the totally ridiculous menu structure in the game though. It must have been a last minute job.
I'm glad they were rushed though as we could be still waiting if PD had taken the time to refine the interface and still get the physics and feel(which for me is most important) right. That game is GT6.
However things I'd like to see updated in GT5 are:
Obviously the removal of the delivery truck thing (What?)
The ability to PURCHASE tuning parts from within any race menu(Online/A-Spec/Practice)
And for you OP, of course, an "Are You Sure?" button.
In all honesty, I don't think so. If PD put a confirmation dialogue on restarting endurance races, I don't see how anyone would see a point in complaining about that. It just requires a couple of seconds in an activity of hours and is for your own good.Nowhere in my post was I "defending" PD's decision. If there was another menu that asked if you were sure if you wanted to restart, I guarantee that there would be threads on here complaining about it.
I agree that there is no "correct" view as such, it's all opinions. However, I haven't read of anyone liking the extensive confirmation detour in the tuning shop either. At best, people don't care, but that's mostly because they don't come across it very often.You said you find the constant confirmation messages in the parts menu annoying, and in that same vein someone else could find a restart message annoying. I'm not defending any point, I'm simply stating there will always be people complaining, as you can't please everyone. Case and point, you would prefer there to be no confirmation in the tuning menu, while my wife does like that feature. Doesn't mean either one of your views is correct.
The game encourages you to resume the race by pressing X, because it places the cursor on the resume button when you pause. Using one of the different ways mostly only occurs to people when they accidently restarted a race already.I would actually prefer there to be a restart message, but there is an easy way to avoid it without a message being there. Hit circle instead of X, and you'll never accidentally restart a race.
