When I read the first sentence of this thread I thought "hay! if we all don't buy gas on no-gas-Friday the gasoline companies will learn their lesson!"
 
There are much greater causes worth protesting than someone's dissatisfaction with a device of entertainment and amusement. There's people starving, dying from disease, or dealing with civil wars in their countries.

There was a freakin Tsunami that is still being cleaned up in Japan. Yea... It definitely looks good for a bunch of white people to travel to Japan to protest a video game.


Exactly

Indeed. And protests DO work. Ask Mubarak. Or Khadaffi. Whoops - can't ask him anymore!

Maybe ask Citibank or Netflix - both announced changes in their fees, and both suffered massive protests and had to cancel their plans.

But going on strike against Gran Turismo? I think I'll pass.

Be sure to let us know when the strike is, though - it might be easier to get online and race then! :)

For every successful protest, there are hundreds that go without results or merit. How much have those Occupy morons accomplished in the months their nonsense has gone on? How much change has come from the actions of PETA, WBC, ELF, ALF, or any other group?

Quite a bit, actually.

Nothing you will ever hear about on Fox News anyway ;p
 
We'll get the Aventador, that awesome track and more.

Strike? No, thanks!


That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Why would I go on strike against PD, when they keep giving me more of what I want? That's like dumping a supermodel because all she wants to do is have sex all the time!
 
Again, I really do not want to sound either rude or play smart.

First I kindly ask you to contextualize something before presenting your subjective opinion as an universal fact.

Second, it would be really constructive to this particular conversation if you would check some of the presumptions you're presenting before making them foundation for your claims.

Third, everybody would benefit if you would inform yourself about widely established facts and figures prior to introducing them as an indisputable leverage to something you think is correct.

Thank you in advance.

I think Forza won an award for Racing game of the year in a magazine that is not about to go under so...... It also won in a comparison done by IGN. Instead of my own contextualized opinion, figured I would just go with what Industry insiders and pro's are saying. No subjective opinions here. The fact PD is still patching the game for free says everything and I do happen to agree with those pro's and insiders that Forza is a more complete and polished game. I have played both as have you. You honestly believe GT5 is a complete game yet? None of the three directions they took it got done. A-spec, B-spec or online. A-Spec gets credit for value in play time, but I still don't have a place to race a lot of the cars I own. B-Spec is a glorified Demo and online still lacks simple matchmaking tools to put similar driver types together. Not to mention some of the changes they made have been steps backward and others affected existing game components detrimentally. Truth is this game is a clusterbomb of unfinished and poorly implemented ideas. Shuffle race anyone?
 
By far the most stupid thread ever made.
1st of all PD isnt obligated to deliver anything new.
That they have a totally different perspective over their creation and they like to evolve it a step at a time isnt a reason to protest or blackmail them.
Yes the game had some major flaws when it was released and yes there are still some things missing but that doesn't gives you the right to blackmail them or to protest against them....and one of the many reasons is, that you dont pay taxes to PDI.
2nd No one forced you to buy this game or even play it.
3rd you knew what you were buying.
4th Any chance of working at Sony or PD? No you dont.
4.1 Do you have any idea in what they are working on? No you dont
4.2 Do you know their schedule? No you dont
4.3 Have they gave they impression that they are lazy? No they havent.
4.4 Have they proven that they are listening to the fans? Yes they have.
&
5th Last but not least....for the only thing that you can blame PD is that they have spoiled some non-brainers by constantly updating the game even after tsunamis, earthquakes, radioactive disasters, PSN outage....up to the point that every blithering idiot thinks that PD is their very own bloody servant.

Actually, he has the right to protest, gripe and complain...kinda silly, but still.

A little crticism can go a long way though...as long as it is constructive and respectful....which this isn't either.
 
GT5 Strike, PMSL Not all of us have online problems and them that do could resolve 95% of them themselves.
Strike Indeed, Best laugh ive had on here for a while. We dont pay to go online so who is really going to suffer, The gamer if he is daft enough to strike.
 
If this works (i.e. We all stay offline for a day (me excluded), or whatever), then I will give EVERY member of this forum any car or ticket they want.

Seriously, do you really think every member of GTPlanet is going to stay offline and lose:

1.Their log-in bonus
2. the ability to play online (duh!)
3. The ability to converse with their 'Friends'

All so that PD might(/wont) notice and decide to give everyone 1000 Premium cars.
 
This thread is kind of silly considering the support the game has got. We have another big update coming.

If there is someone you should boycott : consider Codemasters or EA.

I'm not the only one who wants these, plus half of what I have mentioned can be done fairly easy with the team they have and would be a great addition in there next update. Does any one know if PD reads the forums on this site? Where do they read there fans feedback?

You don't know a lot about game development, do you? Each one of those things give mentioned amounts to hundreds of man-hours of work. Add then all up and there's months and months of work there.
 
It's a game: you're either playing it, or not playing it. This "strike" is a new level of dumb that is beyond words.

You want to protest? Go protest about something that's dear to you in Reality, not Fantasy. If you forgot what that was, please stick your head in bucket of ice water with your PlayStation plugged into it.
 
Wow, not even once in my adventurous internet life have i witnessed a person being taken out on a forum so epically!






But it is a stupid idea though, as i have mentioned previously in this topic.

We should set a date for all of us not to play Gran Turismo 5 at all online or the special events for a day or two maybe a week to get the attention of PD. This is so that when PD look at there servers they will see a massive drop of users not playing and would wonder why.

I think we need to be more demanding for what we would like and not let PD keep delivering new content they think we would like. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the fresh DLC's every now and again but PD should finish the game by increase the levels more, the types of races and not just in special events, more championships for all types of racing, previous tracks from all GT's (including the one on PSP) that are not included in GT5. The other Forumla 1 cars and not just the 2 Ferrari's.

More damage on the vehicles. Fix the headlights on standard cars for when driving at night. Have more weather conditions and applied to all tracks and allow all tracks to be able to drive at night including the night tracks to day. Weather conditions could be applied in real time for the world tracks using maybe Yahoo weather api.

Allow computer cars to be driving with you on two player in Arcade mode. Arcade should allow you to use all your cars from your garage and not just the 100 added favourites. Player two should be able to sign into there PSN account to access there cars they have in there garage from there profile. For this function to work PD will have to synchronize your profile online to there servers as an xml file or something to which can be temporary downloaded for when player two logins in the Arcade mode.

I'm sure there is more to be added that is not that should be. So I will leave you all to post your replies.

P.S. When do you think we should on go on Play Strike?

Looks like your idea has been crushed by the aventador amd the login bonus
