I think probably the biggest sadness for me in all this is that when, in a few years the servers go offline we wont be left with the updated game on re-install, we will be left with the limp lettuce of a game that came on the disc.
I think in future I will buy all games based on how they are at release, not how they are after many upgrades.
Still waiting for the promised updates, the ones so far have been cosmetic at best and haven't improved (in my opinion) the game as a whole at all.

you'll probably still be able to update to the latest patch as long as you're connected to PSN.
Funnily enough I was actually stupid enough to get it on release day as a PSN download and it still doesn't feel any different really, They added a few events i.e the Vettel challenges fair enough but they were in the last iteration, They added a daily log in bonus again was in the last iteration so should have been there from the beginning truth be told, They fixed the handing of MR cars well truth be told again that should have been fixed before the game was released, I mean yes this is a GT forum so lots of praise will be thrown PD's direction but lets for sake of argument compare GT6 and GTA:V released roughly around the same time yet GTA is now on v1.12 compared to GT6 v1.06 and the fact that GTA actually feels better of a game than at the start yet GT6 just doesn't.
Apples to oranges:
GTA V came out mid September, soon to be 8 months old, is from a huge developer and multinational who has a a dedicated, official website and forum. The project started in 2008 and took 5 years to complete.
GT6 came out early December, is now 5 months old, and is from a small dev who barely communicates and has no official forum. Project started in November 2011 so just a little more than 2 years to complete.
The only valid comparison IMHO is the fact both have yet failed to deliver very anticipated online content: GTA's heists, and track creator/shuffle/real endurance career racing/drag track/(enter favorite missing content) in GT6's case.
Oh, I still play GT6 5 months later, I got bored of GTA in early December, not even 3 months after it was out.
Oh yes, GTAV where you couldn't even play online for a month.
And that was in from the start on GTA4, so it should have been there from the beginning truth be told...
you couldn't play online for
2 weeks, September 17th to October 1st.
The thing is yes PD may well have a smaller team than R* for example but I highly doubt they are any less funded
haha good one! GTA V cost $265 Mil to make and surpassed $1 Billion in sales in
3 days. I don't think all GT games
combined can claim that!
GTA 5 came out about a month or so before GT6
almost 3 months before... good post otherwise.
This is why people often confuse Sony (the games publisher) with Sony (the PR company), Sony (the electronics firm) and Sony (the film maker).
could be Sony's fault lol
Seriously though, we need someone fluent in Japanese and English (or Japanese & French)...
