It allows you to set challenges for yourself. Can you win it with this car or those tyres. Things like that. You need predictability to set that up. I once won a 9 hour race in GT4 by 6.4 seconds in a car that was slower than the strongest AI in the race under all equal tyre life levels except when we were both on blue cold tyres.Where's the challenge in predictability?
Just as I will never understand racing against a bunch of dirty punters in a race game. If I couldn't race against predictable AI that allows me to create challenges for myself I'd give up race games. It's a fundamental different approach to the concept of gaming and what different people use games for. You've got yours and I've got mine.

That's not the point. I didn't know what the outcome would be. You don't set up a race to win. You set it up to see what will happen. It was cat and mouse for nine hours mate. The RX-7 would catch me. Sometimes he'd pass me and I'd have to watch him drive away. Sometimes we hit traffic. I'd get past, he'd get stuck and I'd pull out a gap. Then he'd close again.... There was no letup. At all. For nine hours. It was the single most completely epic race I've ever had.9 hours against a computer. Jeez....
This kind of highlights my point. You waited 9 hours for an outcome of the race when 9 hours ago the computer already knew the exact time its race was going to finish and what it's exact tyre wear rate was.
Not entirely true, i started a 20 min endurance race on Interlagos with 10x fuel consumption, so i had to pit every 3th lapMy view is AI racing is merely time trialling with objects in the way on a pre-determined route. No AI race really differs. Atleast racing online theres more variety in the quality of opponent but then equally you have to accept the human nature and accidents will happen.
I don't race AI either and haven't since GT4 but it's not hard to understand.Personally i find it hard to understand why anyone would want to race against a computer when you can actually try and beat real people.
Each to their own though

1. Don't have time to practice and prepare for racing online.
2. Prefer to setup and control the time of races and the types of opponents.
3. Prefer the predictability of AI vs. the randomness of real opponents.
4. Have an erratic schedule that isn't conducive to pre-scheduled racing times.
5. Don't want to put up with races being ruined by clowns with no restart button available.
6. Aren't in it for the uber competition aspect, just want to enjoy some more relaxed racing and hotlapping.
There are many more reasons, but it's not hard to understand why some prefer to race offline. If participation statistics we've seen so far are any indication, it remains the vast majority of players as well.
I suppose i tend not to get too frustrated if someone makes a mistake and collides with me but i appreciate some people cant handle it and tends to ruin their enjoyment
Not sure about you guys but I am very disappointed in this game. Graphics and game play are good. But they missed the heart of what I think most of us wanted. The ability to have massive single player offline playing collecting cars, changing wheels, changing parts, changing color schemes and tuning. Then taking your creation and going out and winning more races to make money to buy more cars. I was hoping they would have all of this plus the ability to go online with your personal creation and race with that. Disappointing. Was hoping to get the C4 corvette and customize that fully then racing with it online. Oh well...

Appeciate you have gone to great lengths to write a long reply but i was referring to my own view on how i see online v AI racing.
If AI racing is others prefered thing thats their prerogative
Personally i find it hard to understand why anyone would want to race against a computer when you can actually try and beat real people.
How about because you don't have to wait god know how long to get a full grid of AI and start a race and you can race against AI at any time? Just one reason why people would and do prefer AI over online.Personally i find it hard to understand why anyone would want to race against a computer when you can actually try and beat real people.

I don't tend to get too frustrated either, but you're naive if you think collisions only happen because of mistakes.

Im very desapointed with the Sport. Is boring. Need urgently new tracks, i mean, really ones, like MONZA, LE MANS, SPA, ...i play with friends since gt5, I was expecting a super gt6 , and ... well, what the hell is GTSPORT ?? With a Oval that is good for bicicles, with no tracks for GT1 CARS, i couldn t believe when i bought the game that neither of the 3 tracks was there. A race simulator game WITHOUT LE MANS ?? What is happening there, in Polyphonic ?? The tracks we use , and by "we" i mean all the players that look for it , is Dragon Trail and Nurb...what else ?? A kind of mini SPA and MONZA, but really, after a few hours, people just go play others games. Believe me. Better GTSPORT INCREASE THE TRACKS OFFER, OR I SIMPLY WILL GIVE UP. ....and...a oval that we do in 20 seconds ...?? For kids or what the hell is that for ?? I m felling as someone is laughing on my face, as well my friends.Not sure about you guys but I am very disappointed in this game. Graphics and game play are good.

I repeated it back because you contradicted yourself. First you said you didn't understand why people would prefer online so I gave you a list of reasons. Then you did a 180 and said you were referring to your own view on racing offline which is not what you said to begin with. All we have to follow here are words on the screen so I can only answer literally. I can't read your mind to know that you actually meant the exact opposite.Whats your point? You have essentially repeated back what i just said...

If you had done some research before you bought GT S, you would know that GT S is nothing like GT 5 or GT 6 and if you had read some more you would find out that we will receive more tracks later and more cars.I was expecting a super gt6
He won't look at this thread anymore. 80% of the whining threads are created by people who made throwaway accounts...@Joseph Tito How’s your progression?
Hm, you have a point, he hasn't been here since friday:He won't look at this thread anymore. 80% of the whining threads are created by people who made throwaway accounts...
Does it surprise you when the GTS Can Do No Wrong brigade get involved?He won't look at this thread anymore. 80% of the whining threads are created by people who made throwaway accounts...
Might need to head to PC2 after that.........
Agreed but with a little common sense might saved himself a lotta pain..... Just sayin.The guy is allowed to have his say without people trolling him surely. Just because we all played it already doesn't mean newcomers should stay in the background.
Doesn't matter if he played for 1 min or 1 day, he doesn't like it. It is that kind of game.
Just don't click on the thread if it's just another whiner to you. That's worse.
