^ I wasn't calling you closed minded, more myself.
Well, then I stand corrected. But... it sure reads the other way...
I guess it comes down to what you want from a racing game. Personally, I like to be able to pick up and play for half an hour and enjoy myself, but at the same time I want the experience to be as realistic as possible. ...For me it sucks because I am a perfectionist and the little things that were done poorly in GT5 drive me nuts.
I suppose I can see that. After all, the truck tire sounds in Forza nauseated me after a while. But then again, people complain about "vacuum cleaner" sounds in GT5, and... well, my real life Supra and a relative's Sentra Spec V kind of sound like vacuum cleaners.
I dunno, my fish fry is with other aspects of GT5 that are pretty integral to the game, like the XP system and that silly paint chip thing. I think the sounds are great, and I deal with the bots, because both have been greatly improved. And as I say, there just isn't another racer for me. I've played much of them, and I don't expect any huge racing revelations to come from other developers. I expect more of the same. rFactor 2 might be cool, but that remains to be seen. A handful of race cars... been there, done that, and like I say, I want my thousand cars.
GT5
can be a very different game in a few months, but we'll have to see on that. I sincerely doubt sounds will change much at all, but that's really pretty low on the gripe meter for most. The bots are another matter, but what seems to be way high on most people's radar is the credit system, more A-Spec events, more tracks, more Premiums, more Race Mod cars, XP, paint, rims - man, it's always those wheels that keep getting mentioned.
I have no doubt that changes are coming though, because we pretty much were the driving force in slapping the game out of PD's hands last November. And in a worldwide release for once, give or take a day! But this meant we got what we got. Some will never understand this - see above. The rest of us will wait patiently for what The Kaz has cooking because... well, we prefer this banquet. Not to say that others aren't tasty too, and variety is life spicy and all, but I prefer to get my variety from other sources than racing. Frankly, I'm with GrimSinn, and if that makes you lot chortle, laugh it up. But I'm not alone, and changes are coming, as long as the world holds together.
Like I say, with all things GT, we'll see.
watching you lot try to justify this second rate excuse for a game is hilarious... Toodles GT5, it was short, sweet and crap.
Later. Well, okay, never.
*will be waiting to see if this is yet again another broken promise*
