Is anyone else disappointed with GT5?

[GasolineJunkie]

How can you have a whole line of JGTC, and NASCAR cars, but you forget about other classes like WTCC, DTM, Grand AM, and GT1. Even Formula 1 for that matter the worlds most popular Motorsport, isn't really in this game.

Excellent point.

I don't have gripes about graphics or framerates or premium and standard cars. My main concerns have to do with gameplay.

What I don't understand is why have so many Super GT cars and only have 3 races for the series, with no required pits?

The same with NASCAR. They have a bunch of the cars and only 5 races, with no required pitting. Why is there no cautions? This is one of the most important aspects of NASCAR - Pit strategy. Why did we learn about pitting in the NASCAR challenges if there is no spot for us to implement it in the game?

There is no implementation of F1 whatsoever. You have a couple of cars and a racing series with a pretend car - the FGT.

And why arent there cautions in the endurance races? Endurance races should be a few of the NASCAR races, some SuperGT races, some F1 races, some DTM races, some Grand AM races, etc. The closest we have is the Suzuka 1000 km, but you can use whatever car you like.

Cautions are in all types of motorsports and there are none in GT5. This seems like an important piece of the puzzle if you want to build the best game of its genre.

I enjoy playing it but it doesn't seem like I'll play it over and over due to the game missing some of the basics.

3 words: #3 car.

That would make me happy and I would forever play only GT games!

Okay, maybe if they had Bigfoot and the ZZTop car also. I mean come on, the game is static, like it comes with a stick just to put up your butt before you can play.

Will you finally stop complaining? If you hate the game so much, stop ****ing playing it.

Honestly, why would you come to a thread titled "Is anyone else disappointed with GT5" and whinge that people are disappointed.

I love some aspects of GT5 and am disappointed by others, so I have no issue hearing other people's opinions. That's the whole point of a forum

 

[Devedander]

Enjoy what you have, rather than bitch about something that could be done differently, that's all I'm trying to say

Helluva third post...

So I hear what you are saying... I am curious, what's your logic behind it?

Argue the point not the person.

Post count has nothing to do with this, and to bring it up only runs the risk of an off topic argument.

We have 'members' with post counts in the hundreds over the market place, most of them low quality posts and the infractions and warnings to go with it.

Post count or lack of it has nothing to do with being able to discuss a point.

Did he stutter or was his point a little foggy? It seemed pretty obvious to me.

He can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the point he's trying to make is that complaining about the game won't change it. He then suggests that instead of complaining about the things that you think the game is lacking, you instead focus on the features that the game does offer.

💡 He also made a point that if you aren't enjoying the game, stop playing it. That makes sense to me. It is just a game after all, and games are meant for entertainment purposes only. If you are not longer being entertained, then go find something that suits you better somewhere else.

Helluva third post, sputnik1234. It seemed perfectly logical to me. 👍

 

[CarreraGT]

I agree the post was pretty straight forward, but again don't grill people for expressing their opinion. Especially in a thread devoted to discussing peoples disappointments.

It's perfectly logical

I enjoy what I can and try to help improve what I cant enjoy.

I would be enjoying it a lot more if a-spec was b-spec and b-spec was a-spec (prizes and all) and it would make a lot more sence to me.

 

[CarreraGT]

^ That is confusing. Personally I'm not a fan of B-spec, so I wish they had done it the same way as GT4 and make it an option.

I used it a couple of times in GT4 for endurance races but completing an entire B-spec career? I don't think so 👎

From my experience, B-Spec really isn't that bad. Just use an overpowered car when you can. I use the X2010 or any other high-end car that will shred the competition whenever possible. I enjoy getting easy money and great prize cars from it, especially since I use B-Spec when attending to something else. And this is coming from someone who despised it from the beginning and vowed not to waste time on it.

I meant B-spec has longer races with tyre and fuel wear (pit stop strategy) and better prize cars
But i really dont care much for B-spec if they at least had made it possible for us to play b-spec instead of bob or even with bob on the grid with/against us - and in endurance races I would team up with him

 

[p-coletray]

B-spec is a waste of time. I tried to get involved, or rather turn it on and go do something else, but no. Even with my Mclaren F1 stealth those "Bob" idiots can't win. There's no fast forward, no way to skip that brainsucking leech mode. Flush it!

I done 1 b-spec race, it totally bored me to death....wont be back on it! 👎

That's one more than me As a racing fan, I can't understand why anyone would want to play B-spec instead of driving themself. Fair enough if you just want to earn credits, in which case it is only necesitated by:

a) The lack of A-spec events
b) Lack credits/prizes for A-spec events

All in all, poor game design means the good cars are too expensive, and unless you play for a couple of hours every day, chances are you will never get to experience the best part of the game

 

[p-coletray]

Quick math: 1 indianapolis win per day for about half a year gets you 20 million credits. You have six years so get to it! lol.

Special Events are quick easy money, and on top of that the weekly seasonal events giving you millions in credits and tons of experience I see no problem.

Once.

and on top of that the weekly seasonal events giving you millions in credits and tons of experience

And that is a band-aid.

And one GT40 race car costs me 20 million credits, so I can buy a new car every 6 months. Its so simple!

Champagne taste on a beer budget.

I like taking crappy cars and tuning then on moneymaking courses, keeps me interested, plus I make money. I have a beetle that can win 90k around the ring and the mercedes clk can kick azz in the GTC. I'm not against better payouts, but there is alot of of sweet stuff in the lower class of society.

 

[CarreraGT]

Yeah no I agree, I'm just saying it would be nice to be able to use those cars as well.

The most expensive car I own is the Mclaren F1, but I really enjoy buying cheaper cars and doing them up. I particular, I like to replicate real life tuned cars like the Nismo Z-tune and old race cars.

Which leads to the disappointing issue of not being able to make custom liveries...

Oh geez, I just ran out of help for you. (Maybe go play sack boy sticker game?)

Because having the ability to turn them off obviously wouldn't be an option...

 

[R34EVO9]

Were you sober when you typed that sentence?

Not really cant say what i was doing cause its the internet. But i was just playing the game and got really sick and tired of the constant bs thats in it when there sooo much better out there. I am done settling for trash

 

[p-coletray]

Because having the ability to turn them off pbviously wouldn't be an option...

Even worse it would be an option, complete with it's own dedicated smooth jazz tunes and 45 second load time.

 

[R34EVO9]

Missing Porsche
Half the good Ferrari's missing
Only 3 Lamborghini
And 800 crap ass standard
No damage( The damage we have is a joke)
No livery
Lack of custom gearbox
Jagging with shadows
Stupid excessive menus
Thrash online
Fells like something we should've gotten back when the ps3 was just release
I sit at the Gt life screen trying to figure what i wanna do and when i do enduros i fall asleep because there so boring cause the AI dont want to race
The rallying is a joke.... When have you ever seen a rally course like the ones in GT5..
Did i miss anything???

GT5 is perfect in every way? I want a video of you saying that with a straight face more than once.

Some people like to add their own touch to cars you know. Have you ever heard of the tuner scene? Maybe gone to a local drag-strip ever? My brother-in-law is in this scene and when I go with him to his drags, some of the custom cars there are just beautiful. It's called loving your car beyond just giving it oil changes...

Only 3 Lamborghini

Did i miss anything???

The other 4 Lamborghini's in the game...

Because real race car's are all painted matte black......

That, in my opinion, is something GT5 doesn't deliver at all. The games lacks, you know, a connection to car culture in general.
