Hi, I have been mulling around these forums for the last few months and decided it was finally time to add my voice to this wonderful community. I started this thread just to introduce myself and my progress on GT4 to date so that I might help others as I have been helped.

I started my current game save maximizing B-Spec points. I have achieved 10,000/100/100/100 using the japanese method I found at Gamefaqs, referencing this website: http://www.geocities.jp/j8ba7yrg/gt4/7_10000.html . I don't know if I am the firsrt around here to get 10,000, and don't really care, but if people have questions about getting there, I can help. I discovered some "checkpoints" along the way to make sure that every 29 races or so you can make sure that you didn't miss any points.

After getting 10,000 B-spec, I played through getting 40-120 A-Spec points a race, it was quite fun. I abused my B-spec maniac on all the enduros and Formula GT, so I still need to race those legit. I found the F-GT too easy to be interesting, looking forward to trying them in an Audi R8 instead. I can't get Mission 34 to save my life, nor gold on IA-16. Perhaps its time to drop the DS2 and buy a DFP.

I am now trying to get 200 points in each race. I have followed with great interest the 200 point thread and thank all the great contributions.

And lastly, admitting you have an addiction is the first step to a cure, but what if you don't want it cured? :)

Cheers.

:lol: :lol: You got that right. If I spent as much time looking for opportunities I'd probably have a lot more money and a real life. But I'm having fun... M34 is a tough one but practice and learn the track cold and you'll do it. If I can anyone can. :)
 
I think a member here had a guide to to beating M34 with a video to show.
I think it was Famine or another member.
 
I don't read Japanese, is there an English version of that site in your link?

As far as I'm aware best way is to race different HP cars, different drive trains (FF,FR,MR,4WD) & Different tracks

Yeah, trolling around here for months, I have seen it. Big help, took me from 20 seconds back to 5 seconds, but... I think the inherent difficulty in throttle modulation on the DS2 and precise line make it very hard. I know people have done it with the DS2, just not me. I need to look back at the cheats for Nurburgring thread and see if I can turn the lead sled into a lawn mower.
 
I can make a reasonable English translation, I can't seem to find the Gamefaqs thread anymore. There are 4 classes of cars (based on HP), and 2 sub-classes to each major class (so 8 sub-classes overall). Drivetrain means nothing. 100/70/70 stats can be achieved on Nurburgring alone in the 8 sub-classes. The remaining 30 battle and course skills have to be gotten by racing and passing in just the 4 major classes on all 58 tracks. If people are interested, I can write-up some sort of mini-FAQ.

Cheers

EDIT: Post 31 in this thread https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=61033 , sums it up pretty good. I can help with implimentation of this method and assuring you don't end up with 9999/100/99/99 if that's a concern.
 
Hi Sparhawk and Welcome!

I'm an addict too... It's been probably 3 hours since I last put down the controller. Since I'll be picking it up again tonight I'm not exactly on the path to recovery. :crazy: :sly:

I had translated the tracks for the GameFAQs thread some time ago. It's basically just a process of elimination. I can probably redo it if some actually needs it and put the info someplace it doesn't get lost again.
 
Welcome, Sparhawk. Have you seen Dolmant or Sephrenia lately? Also, there's a guy named Belgarath who was looking for you. Dunno what that was all about. Oh, and you ever noticed the striking similarities between that chick Dweia that Althalus hangs out with and Aphrael? Or Emmy and Flute? Whatever you wanna call 'em.
 
why does everyone constantly say when new members make a new thread to introduce themselves and say "I like GT4 these forums are so cool" and then everyone gives their little

Welcome to GT Planet!
next post:
Welcome!
after that:
Welcome!
then:
Hi and Welcome!
after:
Yeah, Welcome!

just one "Welcome to GT Planet" is fine then everyone tries to be cool by saying WElcome! Welcome! just like the last three posts saying Welcome! Im an addict too! isnt everyone a GT4 ******** addict around here?

its not as if anyone cares about reading them and i dont think it makes the new person feel special

A) Schooling.

we dont know, how are we? we can tell that you like but an addict is someone who loves the game and plays it whenever they can, and they never get bored of it, and they stay up till midnight on a school night, which is me

Really, people! I mean, c'mon...why would we wanna be nice and welcome new members? Who cares if the noobs feel welcome here? I really like it when an entire community of who I thought were my peers says nothing after I introduce myself to them politely.

Get off your high horse, exhorst. There's nothing wrong with being nice. Too many people on here are stuck up enough already and it doesn't hurt to make a noob more comfortable posting here. Criticizing stupid posts is fine and dandy, but ragging on people for being nice...that's just pointless and detrimental to the community as a whole.
 
^Well said 👍.
 
hey shut up teh_loserer im just saying when everyone says it it gets on my nerve and im sure it does 2 other people they dont say coz they no people like you just come and try and be the hero and say "dont be silly, ur so detrimental to the community"

just one or two people saying it is fine, no problem at all just when 1000 people say it repeatedly
