Positive Vibes

[JLG_GT]

Hail the MightyL! Positive, bro, positive! Yup - that placebo was a given since Peale made it obvious.

But your recital made me think - is it possible that there is a positive experience out there - a whole host of people who are involved with nothing but positive experiences about the series and whatever we have up to date, and who have no clue that out there, somewhere else, a bunch of frogs in a well keep croaking that it's negative everywhere? (Or should be.)

I may be too imaginative to be bored with GT6; I could play all day till my arms fell off, and I would still be finding stuff to do . . ..

And then there's GT5 to dip into whenever I want.

As well as Prolouge, 4, TT, 3, 2 . . . .

Have fun. No guilt. 👍

Well said! Totally agree with this in particular. I dont think there is a game I play that has some flaws and freezes once in a while on or offline. (No more negativity I promise...vibes)

But finding things to do:

In this week I have built some tuners' cars (the Spoon builds where great) and alot of them are great at creating cars that do many different things. I tune some cars but at no where near the sucess rate. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/spoon-car-builds.303591/

I race online with three to four different groups and have fun meeting new people while racing competitvely.

Take a bunch of new photos. In which tonight helping with a GT Photo Shoot that someone posted. American Muscle cruise. Then later light em up. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...le-1-march-2014-10-30pm-et-3-30am-gmt.304225/

Always something to do it seems, sometimes I stare at the home menu screen and remember I was gonna do something I was thinking about earlier that was amazing. But I forget, get into something else, and then 3 days later... "Oh, yeah"💡...its what you make of it.

All while doing the other things I do routinely. All these new features that will come later would be sitting there anyway until I got to it. And then just more stuff to do. And I havent been to the moon once...

I have come to accept GT6 as my game and savior.

The Audi R8 LMS Ultra and I are now one. We will snap oversteer spin our enemies into oblivion.

Modeling the sky was a huge waste of time in my opinion, the game is all about looks with very little substance. Career mode is weak, lots of bugs, tuning menus and options are limited, MR and RR physics are terrible they spin out even if you take a corner slow and have racing softs on. Oh lets model the moon and do moon missions too on a racing simulator, I think Kaz has taken too much acid, time to hand this series over to someone that's actually good at making a racing simulator.

MR physics are fine, NSX type R '02 on sport hards easily does 7:22 around the ring.

Some people may have difficulty controlling MR cars. That is called lack of ability and is not related to physics

Couldn't agree more, I've come across so many cars, MR included, that were dogs in gt5, but cos of the new physics they handle so much better, they handle like they should. I just think some people are finding hard to adapt to these physics cos they're so different to gt5.

 

[Vagabond]

Are we really doing this again? There are enough debates going on without recycling old ones as well.

Everyone knows that everything is wrong.... or it isn't, its fine. And the world will end next week, or actually it ended back at the end of 2012 and no-one noticed.

Anyway, just stop arguing and resume a more enlightened form of debate. And by that I mean complete silence.

Ahhh... much better. 👍

I'm talking about Lamborghinis, they drift every corner and spin out easily no matter what tires I use. I really doubt a Lamborghini handles that bad in real life.

At 500pp with sport hard tires, Lamborghini Miura P400 '67 comfortably does 7:30 around the ring.

Guys,
let's talk about the gaming experience. Yes, the career mode is a quick fix. the AI is nothing. the challenge is none. true. so what? who cares? my son is 8, he seems to like it... and for me, there is online. I ve joined this truly amazing GT6 community with guys that are into the same clean and ultra real driving experience and we are driving/competing together for hours and hours, which makes me want to improve my performance so i go try beat my ghost in arcade mode. There are so many GT clubs out by now. Just find your fit and enjoy!

I'm just baffled by attitudes like this. You're basically saying any complaints about the career mode don't matter. Not everyone is like your son and nor does everyone enjoy online as much as you do. For me, and many others, the offline career is where the GT experience resides and I want it to get better, because it's actually gotten worse.

This is my main problem when people defend GT. They act like we should be okay with any issues in the game and just be greatful for whatever PD didn't screw up. Not a good message to send PD, as you're telling them it's fine to stagnate.

And I don't understand your attitude, people who enjoy the game are allowed to be positive about it, and this is a thread about people who like the game and can find the positive aspects to it.
There are plenty of other threads for the people who have complaints about the game, so there is no need to come in to this one and start being negative against the people who want to praise the goods things about the game. Just accept that some people have a different opinion to you or that just enjoy the game for what it is.

Oops. Guess I forgot it's wrong to disagree with people. And there's a difference between being positive about the game and flat-out saying things that are wrong with the game don't matter.

I have no problem with you disagreeing with people, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is meant to be a thread that talks about the positive things in the game, so why come in to it and air the things that you find negative about it? This isn't the thread for that, as I said there are plenty of other threads on here to air your complaints about the game.

@MightyL - Your glass is half full, we get it, congratulations. 👍

I guess everyone ís in a different pace... Finding the ups and downs of a great game...
Great we have a forum to vent our emotions

 

[cassiusclay99]

I think GT6 is a good improvement over GT5.

The best driving sim on current gen consoles imo. Way better than Forza 4 to me. (never tried Forza 5)

The goodwood festival is a great addition too! Really gratifying to master different cars in this narrow ricky road: pure gold !

And the FXX is mindblowing !

 

[ThaSyn]

I too love GT6 and play it all day, but I can't ignore the false promises.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

Made a thread to escape the negativity ey? Good on ya. I wouldn't worry about the whiners too much, they overrepresent themselves by posting on and on and on and on, I assure you they are only an extremely vocal minority, many of the people who are really digging GT6 are far too busy playing GT6 to post about how much they like it.

 

[Tenacious D]

Seriously? You act like hardly any threads here have complaints. Instead, there's a deluge.

This thread is a tiny attempt at balance. Just sayin' that maybe you're not getting it.

Don't you two think there's a reason why I only commented on that part of the OPs post, and not all of it? I don't have an issue with threads like this in a general sense. If people want to be positive about the game, then great. I invite you to go through my post history, and find a time I tried to ruin a thread simply because it was saying good things about GT5 or GT6, because I sure don't remember ever doing that.

What I don't agree with is deluding ourselves into thinking the major flaws don't matter. To me, it just says you're trying too hard to find something good about the game. If the OP had said something along the lines of "While the AI and career mode in GT6 are lacking, I still have other ways to find fun in the game." instead of "Who cares if the career mode is short and the AI sucks?", I wouldn't have posted here in the first place.

Well maybe the OP isn't deluding himself though and it's his genuine opinion, did you think about that at all?

 

[HoneyBadger]

GT6 can be a lot of fun if your willing to make a few adjustments. For the me the graphics performance problems put a big initial damper on my enjoyment of the game. But after setting the max display resolution to 720p in the PS3 XMB and always using the classic full screen view (aka bumper cam) the graphics performance is just fine and it looks fine on my 51" Samsung plasma.

 

[Beart8o]

Back to positivity! It's been a couple days since I had a chance to play GT6 and I'm really pining to drive some laps in my Shelby Cobra. It's one of my favorite cars of all time, and man is it a blast to drive in gt6, just enough fighting it to keep it going forward. Maybe I'm just a better driver than I used to be but it seems easier to keep under control with the new physics.

I think the real problem with OP is that they don't "get" why people are complaining about GT6. It's one thing to disagree with someone (something that is totally fine), but it's another to "not get" them.

OP doesn't need to agree with the "negativity," but they should try to understand it. The vibe that I am getting from OP is "I don't understand what you guys are talking about, therefore it's wrong."

 

[Skyline_77]

This thread is cozy

GT6 is indeed a great game, the physics I love and enjoy are there, plenty of cars and tracks to keep me occupied for days, and I actually have fun racing online. Those necessary updates will come eventually.

I can, and will, wait for them. Just icing on the cake.

I think the OP is saying that the good things outweigh the bad, as such he can easily enjoy this game. He can't see why a vocal minority is making so much noise, noise which is starting to make GTP community look like a bunch of youtube comments.

I tend to agree with him

 

[CinnamonOD]

You people excessively complaining about the game are all annoying

I haven't posted anything important about GT6 actual state, just a little rant in my profile when I got enough of something I was experiencing, but then I tought "It's a game, I should not be mad at it!", then you see me here, enjoying the hell outta the game with two competitive series, where both have their rules adjusted to the glitches and stuff happening to the game now, I test setups using the tire glitch to get the best of the car when affected by this glitch, I practice with the cars on stock state after pitting just see which line is better.

I enjoy buying a car, trying it bone-stock in the Nurburgring, La Sarthe, Mount Panorama, Matterhorn, because the experience is just awesome, then I decide to tune it... tune it for what? 400pp? 450? or maybe 500? let's see which one goes better!
I spend hours tunning said car, pushing it to its limit, then wonder what can I do to improve the car's driveability, I come up with the answer, and there you go, it's an artcarft that I just created for... let's say.. 450pp!!!

I enter a lobby and race your heart out and get the best of the car, I didn't win? that's a shame but I competed with a car I built, and whatever position I end up, if I keep up with those people using all of those famous tuner's setups, I'm more than served, because it is my own effort.

I also love to drift, I have no skills, I have no idea how to, I just know it has something with understeer, but I have this Midget that have raised more than one's eyebrows, made people laugh because of seeing such car drifting.

It's just a matter of knowing what to do with what you have!!!

I agree that career mode/A-spec is where the soul of the game resides, and that it is not on GT6 for some reason I just completed it up until some point in International B, because:

1. I wanted to get to the online portion of the game ASAP
2. After I started playing online, I lost interest on the offline portion, just the casual Red Bull grind, you know...
3. A.I. is very slow, more intelligent, of course, but slow
4. Can't think of any other reason

As OP pointed out, some people just enjoy the game, like his son, or my sister, she just wants me to choose her pink car and let her play, and I must tell you that with practice, she would do a sub-10 minute lap on the ring... well, if her thumb were long enough to reach the square button without her having to move her hand to reach it..

The updates will come, be patient, they might be working on something that is more than awesome, maybe they just found a critical bug in those community features and they're fixing it, just don't think they're sitting there rubbing their bellies, because that's what they're NOT doing!

I'm starting to not like all of this technologic changes so much because all it is doing is changing people's attitude in a very bad way, I'm learning that in school, that as time progress, people will want more, better stuff the way they want, when they want it and how they want it, it is just wrong, and the worse thing is that they're also teaching us how to """""""please those needs"""""""... Well, I prefer to say it "spoil the consumers"... But I guess it's better than having the companies giving what the companies want...

Just learn to be patient and grateful to what you get, because it is better than getting nothing, maybe your first world "I get everything I want..." mind won't let you get those two words... That's really sad

The game is awesome as it is, and there's nothing you can do about it to change my opinion...

 

[another_jakhole]

I too love GT6 and play it all day, but I can't ignore he false promises.

This sums it up nicely. GT6 is AMAZING, but it is DAMN ANNOYING that we're waiting for features that GT5/4 had (...which other racing/driving console games can only dream of imagining to have.)

Me, coming from a pCARS "background". Metal Gear, Infamous, HALO!!, Crash Team Racing, Top Gear and Top Gear SNES background.

GT is the BEST game for me.

Oh yea, Resident Evil and FF from PS1 and Tony Hawk games.

Like others have said, I have made and make due with what GT6 offers (but it's annoying that we've still been waiting for those DLC's and updates for old/new features.)

Oh, and Super Mario World.

Edit -
I really feel like booting (boosting) up GT6 right now, but it's late in the night. OH, I have headphones (Pulse ELITE headsets!)

 

[CinnamonOD]

↑ What about the PSX Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games (You mentioned CTR, but what about all the other ones?)? Along with GT1 and 2, those were the only games I really enjoyed back then

 

[another_jakhole]

Spyro games, I would have loved to have kept on with them, but only played the first one? or two.
Mario 64 for N64. Crash Bandicoot, obviously, is another game I liked to play. I never stuck with Sly Cooper, but Grand Theft Auto is a no-brainer. It 'twas AWESOME (I can't bring myself to complete the newest GTA even though I finished San Andreas on X360.)

I swear, if MS/$ - sound familiar - would only support Logitech devices like PD, a developer, self-handedly made them compatible for their games, then I would love to have bought FM and not solely played the last two for a slight time with a controller I would have gladly have kept/bought them (except I don't have a X1, but played it at my younger inexperienced cousin's house since it came with the BOX and he used the greatest of crappiest arcade assists as possible)..
..
.
but the steering wheels for the X1 aren't "cheap" nor are they good enough. Unless, someone can send me a PM about how you can add a clutch pedal into one of Fanatec's wheels on the X1. SERIOUSLY!i

Well maybe the OP isn't deluding himself though and it's his genuine opinion, did you think about that at all?

Delusion or not, it's something I disagree with. There are people who DO care about the career mode and AI. I've said this from the beginning. Are we going to keep going around in circles here?

We wouldn't need to keep going round in circles if you'd stop posting your negativity in a thread called positive vibes.
