I am truly sorry if I sound pessimistic and negative, but I feel GT Sport is utterly dissappointing in terms of content, I mean I've already owned most of the cars (the ones I don't have are ones I'm not interested in having), got gold on all GT League, Driving School, Mission Challenge, and Circuit Experience, raced over 300 Sport Mode races (which are very repetitive btw), thoroughly explored the livery editor and Scapes, played a lot of lobby races (which are usually just bumper cars). That might seem like a lot, but 2-3 months into the game and I already feel I've done everything there is to be done.

I apologize for the really long rant, I could've typed an essay but left a lot unsaid.
 
You could do some time trial tests for different time of day grip levels... let us know the results.

If you are using driving aids, play the game without aids.

If you were to nerf your DR SR rankings you could go for the trophies.

If you are really bored with driving, then have a break from it, dust off some of your other games.
Or buy PSVR. There aren't enough gaming hours in a day for me to get bored.

What I find when there are lots of tracks and lots of cars to choose from, people still run the same tracks and cars in lobbies. So I doubt it will cure boredom, it will just extend the playing time for you till you get bored of the new tracks/collected the cars.
 
Ok for some ha ha I got done proper lol I bought the Collectors Edition ...no pimp garage no cash to speak of etc. Got a model and a nice book of ( (car/GT) porn and box it came in the price I had to pay I'm not convinced was entirely worth it but that remains to be seen over the life of the game I suppose its still early days. I've completed 90% of the game and only some of the online races can get my attention the others are just too childish

Can't you play other games? If i had played GT S every day i would be bored as well, like i do with other games that i play too much, but in the beginning i played it every day for over a month maybe 2 months, but now i'm playing other games again and i'm playing GT S when i feel for it, but i just have to do the daily workout though, i haven't finished the GT League, yet, even i have 75 victories, but 41 of those are in the same race Premium Sports Lounge Race 1, i don't play online and i don't make liveries or photos except changing colours on my helmet and racing suit, but still i'm not bored with GT S, it's fun to race the races in GT League with different cars, so i usally drive each race 5 times or more, but i also play Sniper Elite 4, Wolfenstein 2, The Long Dark and COD WW2, if you are bored, leave GT S be for a while and come back when new content is out or when you feel for racing again, or try out other cars in GT League, checkmarks on all single races etc.

I think the part of the fun in GT Sport is to practise in time trial and learn the track more and more, no matter if you chase top 10 records or not, just to see how much more you can push yourself.

Also sometimes just try getting in a car you like, and find a lobby to have fun, like GT5-6

I think the thing that is very different in sport is, it has a much more serious focus/vibe that sometimes makes you feel kind of disappointed if you aren't getting a fair, very competitive race, more so than previous titles.

I get really frustrated sometimes, but I find it hard to get really bored of the game.

Even checking every day to see what new pictures/liveries posted is a fun thing to do for me before I go drive/race.

So instead of ranting what would you suggest PD could add to the game? More content? Well after a couple of months you will be moaning again at lack of content...

There are other racing games on the market available - but again only contain a finite amount of content to play through before 'completing' a game.

I don't mind the car list at all, I keep changing the Gr 4 and Gr 3 cars that I drive on Sport Mode so I don't mind if they don't add more anytime soon, but I really feel the track list is very limited, especially when we compare it to other games or previous GTs, more tracks would definitely add a lot more Sport Mode action, and different challenges

£20 for 3 months entertainment seems really good value to me. And that is if you keep the game. At the moment on ebay used copies are fetching at least £14 and to can buy new at £18 so reducing the net cost to £4. So only just over £1 a month. Very cheap I would say.

I get you, but honestly I don't mind paying more if it means more content. But yeah when you put it that way

I do play a lot of Overwatch and FIFA, but GTS is my only racing game that's why

Unfortunately I can't afford a wheel atm, so my choices for racing sims is very limited (hence the rant on GTS )

Then why limit yourself to one racing game?

Plenty of others exist and if more car and track combinations is a need, then they serve that very well.

Dont mind but what more can you expect from a game? What you have completed is a plethora of content and in no way short.

Play some other game or do something else.

Unecessary thread with no point.

Its like saying life is boring coz i have earned money,got married,had kids,bought house and car and achieved every dream i had but now i am bored.


Lol.
 
While I agree with you that this game is notorious due to its lack of content, which I believe everyone here can also agree with, that wasn't really the intention and scope of this game, the focus of this game is purely on online gaming, and this kind of focus can either be very fun or completely uninteresting depending on which player is playing it.

I find it a lot fun, even with all the repetitiveness due to lack of content, this could be because I have clear goals of reaching DR: A and SR: S and finishing a FIA tournament at top-100 position.

Regardless, I will agree with you that this game is lacking content, not many interesting cars and too little track variety...The lack of dynamic time and weather is not helping it's case.

If PD doesn't adress this issue fast, I can see the player base shrinking very fast.

*this is a personal opinion*

I peronally would rather have a huge game with no future add-ons than a small one with add-ons distributed over a year or more, just impatient I guess.

You don't need a wheel for Assetto Corsa or Project Cars 1 or 2, but Assetto Corsa is a bit hard with controller or maybe i'm not good enough with controller :embarrassed: :).

Hahaha, that's true, GT's against Godzilla was a nightmare, even on easy, but i won in the end, but it was hard :).

I see this response quite often. It's completely irrelevant to any discussion. All games are relatively good value on a time/$ basis even if you only play them for a few hours. Making it cheap doesn't make it good or lasting.

For me, it's the tracks mainly. Not just that there's too little variety, but that I don't care for a bunch of them (ovals, tokyo, alsace... even dragon's... certainly dragon's II), at least in their role for online multiplayer.

And what about Nords? Have they forgotten they have that?! Will we never see it again? Is it because of the pits? Pitting is a cutscene anyway, so surely they'd be able to fake it for Nords, or just run it without fuel & tyre use. Regardless, I've only seen the full 24h once. Maybe it's been on other times when I haven't been able to play, but still hardly at all.

Then there's the uniformly uninspiring choices for daily races - just once in a while, let's have a 10 lap race without fuel & tyre deg! Or with gentle deg., no need to pit, but still enough to be making a difference to handling. Or have it turned on for Race A or B, just for a change.

Gr.1. No idea if BoP is any good on them, since I've never seen a daily race using them. Possibly because we don't really have any tracks where they'd feel at home (the lack of Silverstone / Spa / La Sarthe is really hurting). But it would probably be fun anyway.

So while I agree on tracks being lacking, they could do a lot more with what they've got.

On any day, I look at the three choices and pick the least worst option. Maybe. More often than not these days, I give it a miss :(

(today: Golf / DT II - nope / nope. Tokyo - nope. Gr4 10 lap stale format - yawn, but maybe).

Don't really agree with that. I see people that have over 100 hours in Elite Dangerous complain it's boring. If it was that boring why did they play over 100 hours? And isn't over 100 hours a good run for a game to hold their attention? It's a pretty valid argument I think. You could though argue it becomes less relevant as the time-played gets smaller and if the game is subscription based maybe. Horses for courses though :)

I do think the game is now losing it's "honeymoon phase" and this is where the lack of variety starts to hit home. Online racing though always provides new challenges but the best of these challenges are probably unofficial user-fed championships and the likes.

Don't agree with what? Any game that's played for a few hours is good value in terms of time/$. That has nothing to do with whether you are bored after 10 hours or 100 hours. No one that I know of measures the value of games in terms of time/$, the only time it comes up is in internet arguments when people are trying to defend their games of choice. Here's an example of conversations that never happen:

Gamer: I'm bored, I have played XX hours and I am bored of this game.
Interneter: You should be happy because it only cost you $/time.
Gamer: Oh ok, now that you put it that way, this game is great!! Oh wait, that means every game is great. But that means...wait, what?...I'm so confused:confused:

I've noticed the same; I don't think many people have brought up the time/$ argument when it isn't a game they like.

It ignores a big issue; that not every game is going to have the same replay value (nevermind that replay value is largely subjective). The Last of Us cost the same as GT Sport, cost the same as GTA V. In terms of content, they're all over the map — but even if I sunk less time into TLOU than GT Sport, I'd never say it was bad value. The experience was well worth it; it's a disservice to boil TLOU's value down to hours invested.

I imagine what might make things worse for some folks is if GT Sport is the only racing game they're playing right now. That has a habit of making anything feel a little old quicker. Judging by my game stats, I've played it roughly every second day since getting it, splitting my time between it and at least three other racing games, plus Cuphead and Battlefront II. It's made everything feel fresher for longer, for me anyway.

Value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. If they OP got three months of enjoyment out of the game, that doesn't make them wrong or right. Plus, since games aren't really "complete" these days — certainly not GT, what with the plans PD has laid out for the future — there's always the chance there will be more enjoyment down the road. Take a break, play something else, and you'll (probably) find a feeling of freshness when you return to GT Sport. 👍
 
What happened to the rule on here where you had to have at least 100 (?) posts before you could post a new thread? Would help prevent a lot of the duplicates that seem to appear so often in the GT Sport section.
 
I have my alarm set for 6am as I start work early. I've moved the alarm time to 5.55am so I can squeeze in the 6.05am race A in before I have to get ready for work. You don't do that for just any game, so no I'm not bored of it! :-)

I've been here for 7 or 8 years and don't recall that ever being the case. How is that relevant to this thread though? How are the duplicates negatively affecting your participation here?

Probably rightly canned because it would lead to 100s of spammy posts :banghead:

This.

Secondly, would you say the same thing about any repetitive positive threads? If the implication is that anybody's thread following a remotely similar tone as the OP's should be shoved into one catch-all thread, then the opposite should be just as true. And a two-thread forum would be a very, very dull place to be.

The thread doesn't violate the AUP. It will live or die by the community's involvement, anyway.

Wasn't $/time I was thinking about specifically, because that needs some kind of acceptable reference $/time value to use in order to determine what is and isn't good, which is mad and hugely up to the individual.
I disagreed with the notion that the game serving the user for a long time (play time) then becoming boring is somehow not normal, which I perhaps incorrectly assumed was part of what you were saying :P .
