GT5 is impossible to beat

No attack against you personally, but this is as bad GT life.

What is quoted makes absolutely no sense. No one in real life can do the Indy 500 500 times a day. And the game is a driving simulator, not a second life simulator.

Most importantly, voicing one's opinion on where the game needs to change is the ultimate in fan loyalty. GT is every bit as much for the "complainers" as it is for those who would accept anything stamped with the letters PD, and everyone in between.

The OP is complaining that cars are too expensive. I voiced that no one would sell you a race car for such a little amount. Why doesn't that make any sense?

While I agree with you that race cars are very expensive, $20 mil is too much for a single car.

@Shigegaki, say man i wasn't expecting the car cost $25,000, i was expecting more like 5,000,000 or something and if you would read my first post you would see that i said "i like the game" or that in my 3rd post (above your post) i said "i started out playing gran turismo when i was nothing but a kid" i was 9 years old when i played gt2 and i loved it and still do so dont tell me "maybe Gran Turismo isn't the right game for you"

First off, you might want to clean up your grammar and punctuation since you have already been warned. Second off, you created a thread regarding that the game is impossible to beat. And from your write up, you didn't expect others to comment on what you had to say? Maybe posting this in the correct thread would be more helpful.

Meh. Chances are that is about what it would take to pry a pristine factory fresh 0 miles on the clock 330 P4 out of the guy's hands anyways.

A bit crazy right now, but in a month or two pretty much everyone will have a stockpile of money that they really don't need because they already have the cars that they want / need. It's GT, it's the way it works.

At first it seems like a lot of money, but in the grand scheme of things, not so much. Plus, you can get those cars for free - for your birthday.
 
Firstly - the game doesn't price anything in dollars. Or pounds. Or yen (well, maybe...). It's an arbitrary monetary unit, so stop comparing it to real life prices. It will never match up - for example, 50 Cr for car wash, 250 Cr for oil change. Both of which are not realistic when expressed in several currencies. Therefore it is more likely, a relative thing. Which makes sense to me - e.g. around 20k for a 90's Honda Civic versus 20 million for a extremely valuable historical racing car.

Secondly, the pricing structure in the game may be design to prevent people getting everything straight away, and a way (other than the level system) of limiting what you can and can't do, and - dare I suggest it - provide a challenge to you, especially given the lack of entry restrictions in some races which make it all too easy to wipe the floor.

Yes, maybe some people want the super-expensive ultra-fast cool stuff right from the off and don't want to work hard for it (Arcade Mode anybody?) - but tell me where's the sense of achievement? To me it feels a lot better that you earnt it. GT5P required a fair old grind to get the F2007, but it was worth it. I can't help but wonder if more people had the required patience and motivation, the world would be a better place.

EDIT: and it would be mega-nice if everyone didn't declare something difficult as 'impossible'. Slamming a revolving door is impossible. Completing GT5 may be difficult, but by no means impossible.
 
@Shigegaki you know what this is aggravating so instead of turning this into an internet beef im just not going to post anymore, you got this homie, you got this

It's not turning into anything South, I am voicing my opinion like everyone else right now. Sorry if you took this the wrong way :ouch:

Once again, its a game. And whats the point of those cars when your already done the game and have a stock pile of cash. Like people have said, GT5 is a good game, but its littered with design flaws. Fortunately for the OP, he can do the historic race with much cheaper alternatives.
 
Ahhh cut the guy some slack, he's just venting. Get off his case. As we all felt when we entered the gran turismo realm the first game..Felt like it took ages to beat, we didn't have much of an understanding as to how to enjoy the game in moderation. I think it took us time so when the second one came out we were already OK with how the game worked, we understood we'd have to do some races 50 times to stack up some fat cash and cash it all out on a Castrol Supra to beat the GT All start races or the championship races. This guy is just venting to us because we are all in the same GAME per-say. It's alright man just keep playing, by the time the GT6 comes out you'll have a better understanding of what it's all about, just take your time and take it easy some cars are worth waiting for. The p4, the Mark IV and cars of that nature are not worth the wait, i guarantee you. Why don't you go to GT5 marketplace on here and im sure someone will trade you one for a car that you own if you're already @ level 20. I got one as a trade for my ft-86 G sport, those old time race cars are common around that section.

The Key here is to get what it is you want, you want the x1 Car then get it. Go full throttle to get it. Play the game don't let the game play you.

The main portion of the game is call GT LIFE, it's supposed to be a lifestyle, its intention is for you to grow with it, to make it evolve overtime. To be part of your own life. You life doesn't last for a few hours...

So it's not supposed to last you only 4 days... You are surely not some insignificant insect with a life span of 4 days, are you? This thing is meant to last you months, if not years.


@ IBomb4: I loved GT play style right from the start, i never had complained, enjoyed it fully. But you are right, not everyone can be this understanding, and we shall/should be understanding toward those who lack understanding 👍

I agree, fully. Thanks for being able to read through that. That's my point exactly. The wait for either of the historic premium cars is not worth it when you can easily use another car to win the event. Also, playing 20,000,000 on a single car i think is a little much as well. As far as the handling and the speed of either car their fantastic in that sense I own both of them. Definitely a beautiful sight to see.
 
You don't need to spend 20million to do the historic car race. It can be won in the 74 Lamborghini Contach, bought for around 170,000 or won in an event fairly early on. Putting that aside you could win the Toyota 7 at the "Like the Wind" event and win the historic cup with ease.

No way to beat the game? you haven't even tried.
 
Why does everyone complain about this race? You can beat it with a free car that you can win in either a spec or bspec.
 
If you win B-spec Like The Wind races you'll get awarded a Toyota 7 Race Car as a prize car and you'll easily win the Historic Race Car event. Alternatively you can use a fully upgraded Shelby Cobra and some very good driving to clear this event or as many people pointed out on another thread, an upgraded Lamborghini Countach LP400.

OP has never played GT before, fact.

GT has always been about wheeling and dealing, beating faster cars with 'slower' cars, thats why it rocks

Truth!! It was laughing to my buddies in the background as I knocked off Ferrari's in such as using my tuned GT-R.

It was what came after the price thing that made the least sense

Either enjoy the game like the rest of us are, or maybe Gran Turismo isn't the right game for you.

But bringing up the price thing doesn't make much sense either because to get to that bit of "reality", you ignore a few bucket loads of fantasy. In the GT world, it's apparently possible to race a world series in a single day, own 70,000,000 cars, and find unlimited numbers of rare $20,000,000 cars for sale.

ie, GT is a game. It says driving simulator on the cover yes, but buying isn't necessarily part of driving. And the entire buying process isn't exactly simulated very well. $20 race cars make as much sense as anything else in GT land.
 
Make it harder. I want my grand child to play GT5. And of course the grind will be horrible if all you do is Indy.
A) I have the choice to grind and level faster and have more money, but cry all the way.
B) I have the choice to grind slower, make less money, but enjoy driving.
C) <...>

Could you please point me where these $20 race cars are located in GT Life please? Then maybe this whole thing debate would be finished already. :dopey:

2 facts about GT and Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris beats Gran Turismo

If you select C.Norris as your B Spec driver, he well get out of the car and round house kick you in the face!

Chris
 
dude gran turismo is not an rpg or actino game, it is not a game that you "beat". you don't ever really beat racing sims. they are just there for you to play when you want but never really end. don't say that collecting all the cars and doing all the event mean beating the game, cause it's not.

This will end this debate within the thread. Back to work.:sly:
 
This game isn't noob cod... its more socom lol .... I have been playing gt since it came out ... before I could drive.... it was made for people like me not instant glory hogs no disreapect... I hope that I don't beat/finish/get done playing this till gt6... just like I did with gt4... game isn't for you... get midnigh club... that is beatable without honing your skills
 
The 20,000,000 credit cars aren't the problem in my opinion, it's the (in my opinion) pitiful payout of the some of the larger events.

I never said there were $20 race cars. I said $20 race cars make as much sense in GT Life as $20,000,000 ones.

Let me just make sure I actually understand what I'm debating with you. You implied that since some cars cost outrageous amounts of money in reality, that they should cost outrageous amounts in GT right?

I don't agree with that.

Because PD didn't provide enough options. Were there enough, there would be no complaining, or at least very little.
