Oil change annoying ?

[polizei]

Rather like this post......double pathetic.

just ignore the troll

The hilarious thing is that complaining about complainers is more pathetic than complaining about a really annoying aspect of the game

 

[freedomweasel]

GT Auto has no place in the game. The maintenance aspects are pointless, and changing horsepower is simply annoying, though it's easier to fix with power limiters now.

Shelf GT Auto, and put all the used cars in the new car dealership. It would be a huge improvement.

👍 That'd be nice.
That menu/screen is one of the worst in the game.

This game should be completely realistic. It should take 15 minutes to change the oil in your car. When you paint your car you should wait a few days for it to dry. When you get chassis repair it should be gone for 2-3 days.

Hey, maybe if it's realism you're after, you'd be good with a 30 dollar DLC to pay for your 15 minute oil change.

I forgot that too. (If you want my real opinion I think that you should just tap X and it will be all done. It's not too hard to implement.)

You also have to buy for your own 1000 car garage and travel fees to get to a race track. You need to wait 12 hours to get to Germany to drive the nurburgring. To get into another car you need to go and find it in your massive garage, get in and find the right key to turn it on.

If you crash your car and break your drivers arm it will kick out out of the game and you need to wait 6 to 8 weeks until you can drive again. If you want annoying I can think of more :3

Except that over the course of the game that's a huge amount of time wasted on something meaningless. Seriously, the whole oil change thing adds nothing to the game. It's a neat novelty for the first hour and then it loses its charm. I've guestimated that since the game was released I've surely spent at least an hour just on oil changes, and that's a shame.

Ohhhh no! It's even worse. Buying a car from the UCD and changing oil is something like this:

Start at GT Life
Select UCD
Watch loading screen
Pick a car, and select 'buy'
Watch loading screen
Watch car purchase animation
Click 'Yes'
Depending on car, click 'Ok' for paint chip
Watch loading screen
Select GT Auto
Watch loading screen
Select Oil change
Confirm Oil change
Watch oil change animation
Select 'Ok'
Select 'GT Life'
Watch loading screen
Back at GT Life.

This whole process takes around two minutes. With 1031 cars in GT5, that means you will spend 2062 minutes doing this. That's over 34 hours spent on buying a car and changing the oil, out of which approximately 90% is spent watching the GT Logo (loading screen) or a crappy animation.

So out of all the problems you pick this small, insignificant one? There are much more important issues to be fixed in this game. Lets have three tune saves, tire pressure, more premiums ext. I mean the list just goes on and on, and this is down at the bottom of them all.

I guess what ticks people off (me included) is that it is blatantly obvious that they should have made this process easier. It is just pure stupidity. Whereas things like tune saves or tire pressure are things that not everyone cars about. And they are working on more premiums... but these things take time.

Technically... there are 200~ premium cars that you don't have to do this too. Also, for the trophy you just have to own them, so changing the oil isn't necessary.

So that's 0 hours woot

 

[NLxAROSA]

Watch HP from premium car before oil change and after oil change. And technically, you are not required to change oil for any car, as any car will keep running even if you never change it.

 

[Astro-Racer]

There should be an option to select multiple cars to buy at once. And also to clean/change oil.

It takes me ages to purchase three cars from the used car lot.

Those pointless animations of the car rolling up do not help.

I know there is a difference, you just don't "have" to change the oil lol

I agree with the post above, Select multiple cars and click "Detail" which would Wash and change oil would be awesome. Then you get the bill 👎

 

[GrimSinn]

It's just one of those things. Funny thing is it's kinda annoying like IRL. It's not expensive and doesn't take long but tedious to do and some will just say f-it and take long between changes usually resulting in a few HP lost. Then there are we few who love our cars and change it more often then really necessary.

 

[Justabanana]

I say scrap the oil change, engine-break-in, and make hp static. Those details bring nothing to the game, they just annoy a player trying to build ones car to a certain hp/pp-level. No-one would miss them. (Ok, many people think oil change "belongs to GT" since it's been here always. That's not a valid argument any way though.)

The truth is it is a completely useless, annoying waste of time. If you need a relaxing period betweed races, just leave the main menu on and go to the fridge.

 

[Tonkz]

Am I the only one who find the oil change too long and annoying, it would be better if we could have an oil change option when we press the triangle in a car, It suck that each time I buy a car from the UCD, I have to waste time to change oil, the worst is when I buy multiple cars and I need to change oil in all them, very loooong and annoying 👎

Word... 👍
Drives me crazy, (Especially when your car collecting like me)...

Its funny coz its True

👍 +1

The whole "buy a car" aspect of GT5 is so slow and unnecessarily convoluted. The wait for that animation of the car emerging from the shadows is a complete mind ****.

It seems to me that people who only play GT5 and spend hours upon hours playing it don't mind this sort of thing so much. But for anyone who does other things outside of GT (i.e. more normal people) then the wasted time is a PITA.

 

[zqxwjv]

Yes its annoying, like so many other things.

I think an annoyances patch would really help this game:

- 4 prompts to buy a single upgrade in the tune shop
- reload of same track after switching cars in A-spec
- etc, etc, etc

Its like Chinese water torture

 

[JackRyanWMU]

This game should be completely realistic. It should take 15 minutes to change the oil in your car. When you paint your car you should wait a few days for it to dry. When you get chassis repair it should be gone for 2-3 days.

Speaking of realism, the mechanic probably shouldn't be putting the new oil in from underneath the car, should he?

 

[Minty]

I like the idea of having it done automatically before every race.
We have a pit crew, so we obviously have someone there who could change the oil before the car ever reaches the track.

 

[Khoin]

I would like to be able to use all the GT Auto and Tuning Shop options directly from the garage. It'd be even better if the menus would be somewhat less annoying as well, but please, just let me acces them from where I select my car. (I hate being in an online lobby or seasonal event or whatever and wanting to buy some tires, an upgrade or an oil change and having to go back to GT Home first)

That said, they could remove Oil changes alltogether as far as I'm concerned... It's probably meant to seem reallistic, but what does it add in terms of game-enjoyment?

 

[sumbrownkid]

Oil changes need to stay.

It is one of the few quirks that make GT different and unique from other racers.

I <3 GT Auto.

It makes it different and unique, but does it make it more fun? That's a better question to ask about a game.

The Fiero was different and unique in that they caught on fire.

 

[hardvibes]

Pretty annoying, especially when you buy a lot of standard cars....

 

[Pingwhen]

if i could pay 2.0 mil to never do an engine rebuild, chassis re stiffing, and oil change i would!. its annoying on cars like the x1, the f1 cars, and other high rpm race cars.

 

[kenltw]

Nope its fine for me .i dont usually buy car.lv34 a-spec i only bought 5 cars .all other 60 cars are from the tickets

 

[TurboProp]

How about just a animations on/off option button, you know, like the intro movie and music on/off options so those who want to watch the 🤬 animations and those who don't. Easy right???

 

[nizmo_bro]

Yeah, I like to buy multiple cars at once, and don't even both with oil changes. It's too time consuming to bring up GT Auto, click oil change, and then exit. I probably have 150+ cars without oil changes.
I hope they add a feature where you can change it from your garage. Even selecting multiple cars and change their oil all at once.

 

[diegorborges]

Nope...it only takes less then a minute to go through all the menu's to get to the oil, so if your that impatient, then this game is not for you.

And the animations are entertaining and relaxing...

the good old GT way.

I still miss that relaxing "home" music from the older GTs

 

[BlacqueJacques]

It is a pain that you have to leave an online race room in order to change the oil 👎

 

[chris139ryan]

doesnt bother me at all
