I think everybody is dwelling on the negatives too much.
No Damage - DEAL WITH IT. It never has had damage ever before and not only that unless it's real-time like in GT5 go home... Do you really like it when it shows a pre-rendered smashed up car of yours??? I sure don't...
No Online - I have strong faith in PD and I don't ever recall them to say that they will release something and they don't. It will come... Be patient.. Cmon boys FAITH!
Poor A.I. - GET OVER IT. There are VERY few racing games where cars don't drive on lines and does it take away from the enjoyement of driving your own car?? Not for me, and if it does for you, piss off stop whining.
Poor Sound - My ***. This game has the best engine sounds since NFSU2 and beside NFSU2 recorded a Ferrari for the imports.
No 2 Player Memory Card Battles - I'd have to say this is the real killer. I really really loved doing this with my older cousin, we had great times racing each other in GT2, I'm sure many others have memories. Let's just cross our fingers for the US Version supporting 2 player mem card battles. As for the PALers, no problem here.

Have a good day. 💡
your points are dumb. you just basically told everybody that has problems with aknowledged flaws to get over them. that's like telling fat people to eat less.
What I'm saying is...it's a glandular problem. Oops I meant use your brain before you rationalise things away.
GT4 has flaws, but it's still undeniably righteous. That doesn't change the fact that people are DISAPOINTED, you can't make that go away, and you can't stop them from whining about it. When you're disapointed about something you were eagerly anticipating, it's like a part of you is dead. It's a sinking, hollow feeling that makes you pissy and irritable. Being near a keyboard when you're pissy and irritable produces mixed results.
To me, GT4's title of "the drive of your life" or "the real driving simulator" should just be replaced with "placeholder" or "the last boring one, we promise"
edit:
Just to elaborate on why people are losing their patience with the series, and why people say it's running around in circles: a game being called a driving game is weak. No excuses, it's weak. This is a racing game, you race against other cars on RACE tracks, you don't shuffle around the streets in driving conditions (that would be dull, no?)
Making a game that appeals to certain people because they're obsessive doesn't make it a good game. A game needs good structure, gameplay, challenge, and, hopefully, offers a new experience. Many people here that are DEFENDING THE GAME say racing the a.i. is pointless, that it's a driving game. I don't see any games for gun nuts that just involve you servicing guns and firing them at a range. That would be incredibly dumb and boring. You'd need something to shoot, to add excitement, and cool levels and music, and a story to make a good shooter. Therefore, GT needs a compelling racing dynamic (hopefully the online disk isn't a joke and it doesn't cost full price) to complement the physics. But people buy this "car encyclopedia" bull**** and actually use it in defense of a game that sorely needs shaping up when it comes to the actual gameplay experience.
The fact that other racing games are much more fun to play than GT3 should have been a sufficient kick in the pants for PD to revise their gameplan. But, as T5-R said previously, they seem to arrogant or ignorant of their fans to change the formula. No joking, in a recent interview, Kaz said he didn't make the GT series for fans, but for himself. That kinda says it all.
