Is grang turismo more of a job than game?

[suprajuice]

vote I want to know ure feelings!!!!

 

[astramasta37]

Dang. I thought my threads were pointless... lol no hard feelings levi


Its a game, isn't it?

 

[Concept]

Gran Turismo is a game.

 

[Driftster]

Gran turismo is a game, but at some point you're no longer winning races for thrill's sake you're sitting there saying "when will this be over so I can win a car i'll never drive more than 3 times I just wanted it cause it looked good"

 

[Solid Lifters]

No! I paid money to play it, not get paid to play it.

I think it's more of a an "adventure."

Note: Stupid old Army ad slogan.

If it feels like a job, or if you're asking "when will this be over", then I respectfully submit you should be playing something else. Try our PS2 or Gaming In General forums.

 

[kirkis9]

its more like an accomplishment you can add to your video game trophy cabinet. it DOES NOT look good on a college APP.

 

[Famine]

I wish. I'm unemployed - I could do with the money.

Hours per week working = 55
Hours per week GT3ing = 4

GT3 a job? Most definately not. GT3 as a way to relieve the stresses of a job? Most definately, yes. GT3 is nothing more than a very good racing game. Although I'd like to get paid to play it

Welcome to

by the way

GT3 is a game. Like Neon_Duke said, if you are playing and you are thinking about when the race will be over, you shouldn't play it. I enjoy every bit of GT3, although sometimes I do want to get a race over with so I can find out what car I won. That doesn't mean I don't like the race, though.

 

[BudNC6721]

dude i so with i got payed for playing gt3, that would be a sweet as job, but its only a game

 

[HighOnNitrous]

Really?

 

[Chris Hendriks]

GRAN turismo is too fun to be a job.

 

[Jay]

if GT3 was a job, i would be rich...HAHAHA......stinking rich i tells ya

 

[Driftster]

Well it's official, I shouldn't be playing GT3 because I'm too busy waiting for the race to be over, i mean I must be crazy to not enjoy racing the same series race 12 times to get one car. Or driving a stock miata around midfeild for an hour and change, that is my NEW idea of stress release right there.

 

[MY_STANG]

i dont think its a job till u get to the pro challenges cause the races just drag on like a job but they have to been done to get to the cool cars that you'll will only drive twice.

Nor this one either. . . Really

 

[Super-Supra]

Proffesion League is way to far. 10-20 Lap races are completely Bull. How do you expect to last through it. I definatly cannot. So I just start over again.

 

[ving]

seeing that i created the game.... oh hang on

 

[bengee]

well super supra... i run the pro races cuase it gives me a thrill to almost not win... cause its a lesson in consistency... and they are fun... but i do it only in cars i really like

 

[IDAFC21]

It was a job for me once, when i was in an online comp in which the winner at the end would recieve 100 bucks, which i was and i'll be damned, the guy actually sent me 100 bucks for winning! So yes, it was a job that one time. But overall, its a game...a game that consumes more of my free time then i'd like to admit

 

[Driftster]

Hey bengee, nice avatar....How you like mine?
<-- eh...eh?
Fabisham is it not?

 

[bengee]

lol i was gonna do that one too!!!

i just couldnt figure out how to make it look nice like that... good job...

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Back on-topic please...

No, it's not a job. If you think it's a job, and you're just waiting for the races to end, then I would suggest you're using the wrong car, and you're blasting around 40 seconds in the lead. Try matching yourself to the competition a bit more, and enjoy the actual racing.

I've only got TT10 to go until I'm at 100%, by which time GT4 will be out.

My thoughts exactly. (Although, change 55 to 54!) It's tougher to play on a limited budget of time, although I go home on lunch breaks.

Fabisham.

 

[bengee]

lol driftser you got a fabisham follower

 

[Driftster]

Pupik!! Fabisham!!!!!! The second best word/phrase ever.

10 to 20 laps is where it just starts to get interesting. 3-lap or 5-lap sprints are just popcorn; I like a heartier meal when I sit down. I really like the Enduros too.

It's not the length of races, but the length of the series that makes things troublesome.
