I like GT5. No, not "liked", not "wanted to like", not "unironically"... I liked GT5. I feel like I'm the only one who actually understands what that game is; "more of the same"... like every other entry. I feel like I'm the only one who actually understands what "more of the same" means, particularly within the larger scope of "quality". Quite honestly, I'd go as far as to say GT5 is better than what people wanted and want, and worth a lot more than $60.
I really like GT6. No, not compared to 5, not "in spite of" 5, and certainly not "in spite of" the PS3... I really like GT6. Particularly compared to the series as a whole, because this game does certain small yet key things no other game does. And, speaking of small and key things, and GT5... 6 fixes a lot of the real problems with that game even as it adds others, which are both indeed small and key.
Because yes, what really matters about GT are the little things like Moon Over The Castle blaring in the pre-race screens of the GT World Championship event, and this is in a series where its own "career mode" actively takes away from the package.
I was furious that, for 5, I was never even able to give PDI $0.01 of any money that came into my possession, so I bought GT6 new, and I only regret knowing that part of the fanbase who dares to show themselves.
Now, see, here's the fun part: I wasn't very familiar with the series until 5. I really liked what I saw, and I had no idea what people were really complaining about, no matter how many times I read the same drivel repeated over and over again and no matter how many times I tried to examine every little detail of 5 I could. Regardless, it was after this that I decided to become more familiar with the series as a lot of the complaints were heavily drenched in that terrible thing known as nostalgia. You can probably guess what the results were, even if you don't... ahem... "agree" with them.
So... yes. GT6 is a great game, and so was GT5. GT6 on the PS4, if it happens, will be a great game; so will the next GT, no matter what it is or what it's called.
I'm tired of the vocal minority, but also the bandwagoning over what amounts to sheer lying. I'm tired of the fake nostalgia, and the hilariously high-effort attempts at looking a hundred times smarter than those particular individuals could ever possibly be. I'm tired of the half-assing, and it's ironic that people feel the need to half-ass complaining about half-assing, but I guess that's just the nature of "standard complaining". I could name names, so many names, but in mere minutes I'd be naming half the forum, because that's what this has always been.
Let's just put it this way... "die-hard GT fans" were not "the ones who were there at 5 Prologue and dropped because they didn't like 5". The real "die-hards" think GT5 was a great game, think GT6 is a great game, think the whole series is a bunch of great games, and otherwise try to stay as far away from the fanbase as possible because any such association is in some way a waste of their time.
Cue pagefuls of (spam) posts with hundreds of (fake) upvotes about how they can't find the point, accusations of trolling on my part (as if!), some nonsense about how I shouldn't be here, and otherwise continuing to spread the lies that they do. Hm.
edit: Oh, and of course, I'm really really hype for the litany of updates we're getting. Except for B-spec. If that one's real. ZOMG ANOTHER IDULL GAEM??!??!??!

, i think that's downgrading the man's professionalism there as he makes good points and evaluations...
