The difference between your response to GranTurismo916 (entitled to your opinion) and your response to hsv (who exactly died and made you judge and spokesperson) even though they said the same this is what tells me that.
I don't believe I called you out specifically, did I?
Except information actually
exists for that car even if whoever made the thread didn't bother with it, so it's nothing like that. The Infiniti hasn't even had information released about it by Nissan yet, but it's supposed to be a serious candidate for voting into the next game or whatever? It should also be pointed out that even if the situations were the same, "a bunch of people voted for this sem-famous car" doesn't mean the same thing as "your criticism for how the car was presented was invalid".
Within the past two weeks, I even saw a thread posted for a car that hadn't even been announced yet because the OP had heard about it. How does someone vote for
that?
No. Not like the Nike One. The Nike One was a made up car that wasn't presented as real, most obviously because Nike isn't an automobile manufacturer. The Mosler Land Shark was a car the manufacturer insisted existed even though it was impossible for a car with some of those performance specs to be made, and nothing of the sort had even been done to the car when it was announced. And that non-existent car was posted in this forum to vote for based on performance information that it didn't have and couldn't have accomplished anyway.
I also suggest you venture into the GT6 forum proper if you think the Nike One has made people more receptive to more made up cars. Any VGT announcement thread will do.
Well, for starters, this forum wasn't started so people could boost their post count but otherwise not actually say anything. This forum also was supposed to be used to provide legitimate suggestions rather than scattershot posting of every single car that they stumbled across on the Internet.
Will you answer my question now?
It's not my call to say that this forum will almost certainly have nothing to do with what cars PD will actually choose? That doesn't mean anything. No, it's not my call to choose which car will make it in the game. It's
absolutely my call to say that I'm pretty positive this forum doesn't mean dick to PD, especially with how it is treated now; just like it was hsv's and GranTurismo916's to say the same thing.
You completely misread that. When GranTurismo916 said what hsv said, it was perfectly fine. When hsv said what hsv said, you blew up on him.
Such as? The only fact I've seen is your claim that the cars you posted haven't been for the reason hsv and GranTurismo916 both said, and in the interest of not making this discussion about you we'll take that at face value. That doesn't mean anything for other posters.
It's fact that a small group of people post nearly every vaguely new sporty car almost immediately after it is announced (again, one instance where the person posted the thread
before it was even announced). It's fact that the same small group of people make up the overwhelming amount of new car posts. It's fact that a decent amount of time the only response to those posts are one or two word posts that say they voted for a car, usually by other members of that same group. It's fact that PD has never shown any direct indication of actually choosing cars based on fan feedback. It's fact that they outright defied fan feedback in at least one occasional it pertains to car selection after Kaz himself acknowledged it. It's fact that the closest thing to a fan feedback program PD has ever had, which was even set up the same way this forum is, was abandoned by them almost immediately.
No, the assertion that the forum doesn't mean anything to PD isn't fact, but
so what?
Nope. I'm saying everyone else who used to follow this forum and participate frequently has realized that it's probably useless to spend time and effort on it or have been scared away from it by the behavior of some of the remaining people.
Don't get me wrong: I'm legitimately impressed that you and the rest of your clique have found a place on GTP where you can slowchat, circle jerk each other and tear new assholes out of anyone who dares question you about it. Seriously, good for you for finding your niche. Your posts in particular would actually be very informative to people
if they were actually posted in a location with frequent traffic. I can only say enjoy it while it lasts, because with the QA forum now shuttered the suggestions forum as a whole will be next.
But don't try to pass off a handful of people constantly posting a bunch of fairly random threads with a couple pictures and at most a copy-pasted press release (but more frequently nothing more than a picture and a single sentence) as doing some grand form of philanthropy for the GTP community.
👍
