The only things that really killed GT for me is the offline career and how GT5 B-spec is implemented. It seemed like the career was a last minute thought. B-spec could at least have different events. Instead they are exact copies of its A-spec, but with more laps. A-spec is lacking so many things from past GTs, especially GT3. This is dissapointing, considering the fact that they have so many features in GT5 like rally, kart, nascar, weather, etc. Even mechanical damage isn't used in offline, career races! I expected the extreme races to at least have it, as well as tire wear. Instead, extreme was nothing more than another set of race with possibly more laps.
Everything else is great for me. I love the online and community features. The ability to drive 900 plus cars will always be a pleasure to me. Graphics (overall) are great. The premiums look good (perhaps too good). Framerate is solid at most times.
Also, I think its safe to say that GT5 is not so much a grind anymore. So really, that can't be taken into the argument anymore.
That said, by GT's standard, this game gets a 8.5 from me. While it may have dropped some things from past GTs that we liked, it does improve considerably in a lot of other categories. However, by driving/racing games' standard in general, it's a 9.5 imo.
I just don't believe how some of you could say as low as 5 and 7 saying you're "generous." Tough community... my goodness. Some of you guys would make horrible critics, particulary because the reasonings doesn't level to what is being said and given. It just hurts to see one or two reasons that's bad about the game resulting in a devasting 50% of the game's rating. It's like completely ignoring the positives, and all the good things that PD have put extra time and effort to make the game at least a bit enjoyable.
