According to the stats page I've completed every race within 48 hours, now what?

I'm really disappointed.
I actually bought the playstation 3 console to be able to play Gran Turismo 6, so now here I am, all finished.
Is that it?
Gran Turismo 6 is a big letdown, on very rare occations I was allowed to use racing soft tires or even the mediums or hard, what was it, 5 races maybe, pukatronic.
And how often was I able to use all the great cars with high PP, not often at all.
650 PP using the stupid Sport hard, pukatronic times 2.

What was the point in having the Formula 1 car for sale?
What was the point of having all the high PP cars when there are no races to use them?


I feel that the GT6 wasn't really ready for release, it's only halfway finished, I hope there will be lots and lost of new races in coming updates, if not, I will never think about Gran Turismo 6 ever again.
I actually borrowed a copy of Gran Turismo 5 just to be able to race som more, I played the GT5 a while back and now that I have a console I will play it again, I never thought I would do that be after being so disappointed by GT6 I think I actually will really enjoy GT5

GT6 was the smallest/fastest game to complete ever 👎

But I'm really pleased that the B-spec was out, what was the point in having B-spec, I wanna race, not yell in the drivers ear, I'm wanna race.

Overall I really liked the few races there were in GT6, I liked the new tracks and the new cars, I really liked the Red Bull challenges.

But seriously, to already talk about a new game in past tense is just wrong.

And where have the endurance races gone?
The GT6 is so small and tiny and minute I can't believe it, thank jebus I got a copy of GT5 although I wont even click in on the B-spec because that's a big waste of time, but the rest is cool.
:)

I think Gran Turismo 6 got the wrong name, it should've been Gran Turismo 0.6 :lol:

PS:
How do I get in touch with Admin?
I got my birth year wrong, it should be 1962, yes, I'm older than some streets :)

I've read it all before. From other people.

It read like moaning and crying to me.

I agree you had constructive points. But on the whole, it's just another 'gt6 isn't good enough' thread.

We all know gt6 was/is a compromise.

Gt7 will /should be epic.

If it isn't, I'll join you in the other thread.
 
The OP has some valid points but comparing it at this stage to GT5 is always going to make 6 seem really small and inadequate.....don't forget that GT5 is a completely updated finished product which had 3? years of updates, GT6 has had 2 months worth. I agree that it is, so far, disappointing with regards to content but we don't know how much PD will bring to it. The game appears to be considerably unfinished but that was to be expected given they were pushed to release it early.

As for it being the smallest/fastest game to complete ever? I am afraid I will have to disagree with you there. It may be the fastest GT game ever but I have played games that are a fraction of GT6 (one on PS2 that I forget the name of took me less than 10 hours to complete).

I guess the game is different to different people: Some people consider the game completed when they have 100% on everything while others never consider it completed as they try all the different cars on a variety of tracks...not to mention the online side of things. Whilst I have 100% completion in the stats, I don't consider myself having completed the game as I know there is more content to come and lots of different cars to buy....having said that, I am spending my time split between GT5 and GT6, GT5 to try and complete the game fully and GT6 doing the WRS Time Trials (great fun!) while awaiting new content

You know, it's funny. The bolded part is exactly what we were saying about GT6. And look what we got...

Yeah, this is just another complaint thread, but it's for a damn good reason. This game is utter trash, and PD needs to know it.
 
I'm curious as to how quickly someone could play through the game... not to 100%, but to the end movie that comes up just before unlocking S events. Couldn't be more than a few hours, surely? :boggled:
 
The game is what you make it..if you complete every event at max pp and on the softest compound allowed of course any decent racer will have it completed in no time....to get good races, personally i race with 80-100pp less and on 1 compound harder...and from my experience i've been 2 sometimes 3 attempts at each race..which fair adds time to the completion process.

The real challenges come from online races/leagues and the online TT's ....you can spend loads of time trying to top your friends leaderboards and/or setting up your car to make it competitive..

All in, i think GT6 is a step in the right direction from GT5, even if its unfinished we can be sure that PD will continue with the updates until it way surpasses GT5..

Lets not forget the bug issues and problems with GT5 upon release... its all a process. :D :gtpflag:
 
It's only been 2 months since release, give it a chance to grow. I was 40-40 in GT-5 and never came close to doing all the seasonals. PD does have to get it together and have seasonal RACES, not just super laps. I believe the F-1 cars are there for a future update. Finishing in 48 hours sounds like a rush job with no enjoyment. Take time to smell the roses, it's about the cars, not the stars.
 
games like these never have been famous for their "stories", you cant expect much from them, similar to BF, you cant excpect much from the storys, its all about online ...
same in gt6, who wants to race against bad AI anyways, its all about competing with random real people or friends

i use to play LFS S2 alot too (PC Racing Sim) and there was no "story" at all ... A.I was mediocre too, very limited cars/tracks selection... but it wasnt about those things, it was about online competition ...
hence gt can only be "completed" when they shut down their servers

so maybe my view on this is biased.

  • Do the races again but set yourself challenges. Write about it in our GT6 Race Reports section.
  • Beat your licence times. Beat your friends' licence times.
  • Practice more - GT Academy will be out again soon.
  • Just go for a drive.
  • Online.

So you can drive them.

You can use all of the "high PP cars" in career mode races except the Red Bull X cars and Formula GT - notice that the highest restriction is 750PP and the highest PP for any other stock car you can buy is 711PP (Toyota 7 '70). You can even use the Red Bull Junior at 728PP...

Sure, if you ignore GT5 Prologue, GT4 Prologue, GT Concept, GT3 and GT1.

I'll say you got it wrong. Since you put it down as August 2001, at the moment it's a federal offence for us (see COPPA) to allow you to remain a member here - so you might want to get in touch (use the Contact link at the bottom of every page on the site) with some evidence you aren't twelve.

It might be what the naive people thought.

Alot of people, myself included, knew the GT5 was already pushing the limits of the hardware. Why would the next game, on the same outdated machine, be such a huge step forward? It wouldn't. It wasn't.

As I said, if gt7 isn't what I expect, I'll join you in the other thread.


Edit :

Also. I play GT because I love cars and driving in real life.

With the amount of cars in the game, you could take a new car everyday, drive every track in the game, and be there what? Like 3 years without running out of cars.


I for one, am a very strong believer in the fact that you won't find proper racing offline.

It's online where the serious battles happen. I never even completed gt5, because I was online all the time.

Not everything is down to hardware limitations. The game design is awful, and that has nothing what so ever to do with hardware. And there are games out there with excellent single player AI. Race 07 is one of them. Just because PD don't know how to do proper (or even adequate) singler player racing, doesn't mean no one can.

PD is incompetent. Getting access to a more powerful system, won't change that.

So true, in any online racing game nothing beats overtaking/battling with REAL people as it actually means you have to really think about the way you pass them, whereas offine, you just have to leave the driving line and the A.I will just slam their brakes on.
 
GT6 is the "buggiest","glitchiest" game I've ever played next to Skyrim and that's being kind. PD dropped the ball on this version and I only hope that future updates resolve some of these problems,not only with content but just the way the game runs in general. This is just my opinion,I'm not saying that everyone has the same problems that I've had but I've seen a lot of complaints on the forums.
 
I played for 1-2 hours a day and hoped that once I've finished the S there would pop up a new level, Endurance level, but that didn't happen, so I thought there will be more races once I completed the Red Bulls races, but nothing popped up, so I just like, hmm, was that it?

Another thing, what if a person buys GT6 and that person doesn't have Internet, not everyone has it, then the game would be even smaller, for that person, and glithcy.
The end product is obviously not a finished product, what if a car dealer starts to sell cars that needs constant updates to work, said car dealer would be crucified :lol:

Of course I've tried online racing, in my last try I "raced" against people who just refused to drive over the finish line, instead they drove into the pit and then out again, every lap :D
Once they were on track again they just spun around, so I left.
That has happend so often, not to mention the crash kids who drives in the wrong direction for some stupid reason.
So, I have yet to find a decent online race :sick:

For the most of my races I drove a car with 100-150 PP's less than the rules, I did that to save money, I still got the gold and a lot of money...........that I never came to use because there was no point buying new cars once I won it all.

Wasn't it GT4 that gave us the option to erase all the Golds and "start over"?
That was a pretty cool feature.:cool:

I've seen people complain about how they payed good money for a short game as GT6, well, I bought the game AND the console, I think my brain wasn't working at the time.
The other day I bought Back To The Future: The Game using the online store, it was pretty cool, it worked well with the transaction to my Wallet and the download went fine aswell, the game is fun and the story is pretty cool too, it's like watching Back To The Future 4 in an interactive way, I like it!
BTTF 1-3 is still my favorite movies after all these years, ahh the memories :)

I will check out the Jurassic Park game today, hmm, didn't I buy the PS3 console to play GT6...evidentely not :dunce:
 
GT6 is way too short as you say and it simply is unacceptable.

I love this game but come on not everyone has the best internet connection and even if I do there are simply too many problems in lobbies where someone's connection causes the lobby to crash. Not their fault but it gets a pain having to reset the PS3 when it occurs.

How many tracks are there? In excess of 100 including reverse ones. Some are not even used in career mode. How can that occur?

Race series with 3 races and then those cars are not used again in the career section. Why not make 20 or 30 races in the series. It's do-able but not.

Please do not take this as a personal insult but I get a little tired when someone says run the series with a different car (been there done that for 3 years on GT5) Well I'd like to run for example "K" cars in a 16 man field at Nurburgring or Spa and earn credits for it.I bet I'm not the only one.

It simply is unfathomable that such a beautiful game as GT6 is, is not played to its fullest potential.

People with disabilities used B-spec as a means to get their motorsport fix, i know of multipul people who have poor dexterity in their hands from various disabilities, and B-spec is literally the only way they can "play" A motor sport game.

Other than that i agree with most of what you wrote, it feels like we got duped into buying a Prolog GT6, a good 75% of the game is missing... No community features, no course creator, no b-spec, Bi-weekly seasonals.. where as GT5 was Weekly seasonals..

Seems Kaz has tunnel visioned on his "VISION" Instead of worrying about making a quality product.
 
Have B-spec and option at the Playstation store to download and then you are going to make everyone happy.

I can understand the need for B-spec for those reasons, but why not have like they had with GT4, there was a possibility to run the race in B-spec mode.
But I don't believe that was the reason for B-spec, disabilities, because if it was, why isn't it there anymore?
And how about all the licenses, I firmly believe that if a person with disability problems can clear the licenses he can shirley manage to race like a champ.

But like I said, I'm glad B-spec is gone...and I hope it stays gone, I would however gladly accept qualifying again, I would feel more like an racer :lol:

About the Vision cars, c'mon, two of them are released and I'm already finished with the game, who cares when the other ones arrives, GT6 is already history to me, been there done that, the missed out bigtime, I "moved on" to Back To The Future and GT5
GT6 was a failure, maybe I should buy an X-Box and try out that Forza thing 💡

When you say career mode, do you mean IA IB S and so on?
And what is the opposite to career mode, Arcade?

Anyhoo, they wasted so much time in doing just 1-race venues, and how about wasting money buying a new expensive car to you use just once, they could easily have at least 5 races on every venue, why not ten or 20
Instead we got 2 laps, 3 laps and WOW sometimes 5 laps
I also missed Rally, both dirt and snow, instead we got some moon crapster, it was soooo boring I actually thought about painting my face just to spend the time more wisely washing it off, moon racing :rolleyes:

I want some F1 races, also some Indy races, and rally of corse.
Here's an idea, incorporate GT5 with GT6, make the game grow for every release, bigger and bigger, that way at least we will have more races instead of less, which we got this time.

Anyone interested in a trade, my PS3 for a can of paint? :p

I agree I prefer the gt4 b spec and endurance events. Much better for a realistic multi driver /multi stint races.

B spec was not put in for disabled people.

Some people enjoy a race manager style game. See football manager or whatever it's called. Very popular.

The point is, that it can also bring a little joy to a petrol head that might not have the abilities of you and I.

I for one think that is reason enough for its inclusion.
