I have 2 or 3 golds for special license on gt5 and that was with a Ds3(g27 ordered), it's not impossible at all you just have to drive without errors and find the correct line. Imo the license tests are set perfectly.
It's hard but relatively easy at the same time, to get silver in all of the licenses but to get gold it really makes you strive to find that extra second or half a second off your time. To me that is what GT is all about, those small differences that show a quite good driver that he is not yet an excellent driver. As good as you think you are, some of the gold standards in special events and licenses show you that there is a LOT of room for improvement in your driving.
Yes, I understand what you're saying, and, clearly, the fact that people do it means that it is possible.
But, this is billed as "The Real Driving Simulator", is it not? Racing is an added aspect to make it into a game. I can appreciate trying to show people where there is room for improvement, and offering reward to those who go for it, but at a certain point, it becomes a case of demanding absolute perfection, and, in many cases, much more money spent in hardware setups.
I'm not really sure how to phrase it. But basically, at a certain point, I know what I need to do for speed, but can not see where I'm failing. That is not a good test, nor good instruction. If there was some way to provide advice and instruction, sort of like what they tried to do with the Jeff Gordon challenges, but more detailed and helpful.
Take the B-2 test for instance. I golded all the tests in B except that one and could not get it. I simply determined I was not going to be stopped by just one test and kept at it. I knew I had to minimize distance traveled, and get as close to the cones as possible, but once I was down to 20.2 consistently, I could not see where I could make changes to get more time. It was simply a matter of trying it again and again and again to get lucky and hit it just right. I did hit .1xx a few times, then back to .3xx, but spent most time in the .2xx range. Now, admittedly, that was an improvement from the .6xx I started at. So it helped. But, I have no idea how I manated to scrape under 20.000 finally. And I could not do it again if I tried. How is that helpful?
And if someone were to say that I need to invest in a wheel, well... that's great for those who want to do it, but not fair for those who can't afford it. I guess it just seems messed up to push people that hard, not provide help, and stiff them if they either can't get lucky, and/or can't afford the hardware.
If they made gold just a bit easier it would not detract from the gameplay in anyway for the people with loads of money, time ad determination, yet ehance it for everyone else.
) and think its the only time gt5 shows some balls to push gamers to try really hard. What do you think?
and with all assist off.
