QUOTE Bonedwarf "Wah! Wah! Someones cheating!" Get over yourselves. Jeez! Unless the person wallriding/corner cutting is posting bragging about their times, then they can do what the hell they want.

I cheated the missions AND the rallys. Why? Because I have limited time to play, and I'd rather spend it racing, then trying to beat some stupid event where a car hits ME and *I* get a penalty. I've cheated the parts of the game I get no enjoyment from. ..... end quote

I agree with that, and in addition, I don't even think "cheating" is an entirely accurate description. I'll bet if an Ice Rally driver could lap faster by wall riding, and not damage his car, and not get black flagged (I don't have a clue if it's permitted or not) he'd do it. Racers do what it takes to win. In GT4, it's possible to ride walls and bounce over grassy embankments, the car does not suffer damage, and you are not usually penalised unless you really hit a barrier hard, in which case the accident you were busy having was probably enough of a penalty anyway.

Cheating is breaking the rules. In GT4, avoiding contact with a wall, or staying on the tarmac, are in most cases not rules. Therefore choosing to do so is a personal decision that everyone has the right to make - or not to make - for themselves.

I'm sure if Ferrari found some loophole in the rules that allowed them to supercharge their F1 cars when none of the other teams had noticed, you would not hear Michael Schumacher saying "no don't do that, it will make me unfairly fast."
 
Since when is cheating the same as taking advantage of bad programming?

If they wrote the off-track sections properly you would hit a 6 inch rut in the grass and be sent flying when you went off track and riding the wall would actally slow you down because of friction not allow you to accelerate.

I think as long as PD wants to poorly program the off-track areas they are fair game for all those that dare to brave them. But I hope in the future PD is able to make going through the grass at 150mph a little more dangerous than driving on the pavement!

Cheers all - congrats to those who have completed this mission. I still have a few to go.
 
it's not cheating if it's part of the natural game. It's taking advantage of poor/neglected programming etc.

Cheating is entering in a code in order to change the way the game works.

Exploit vs Cheat. The first is perfectly fine. The second can have 'moral' issues.
 
You know you could always just practice to learn the track. It's not that hard to be fast there. If you practiced you'd learn and then you wouldn't have to waste webspace with worthless threads like this.
 
Each to their own I say.

Hats off to those who get to 100% and 80+5 golds with no wallriding or grasscutting. They have achieved their objectives and hats off to them.

Us "cheaters" have set our goals and will be proud when we achieve them. I would also like to bet that relatively speaking more of the "cheaters" are in the middle stages of life with kids etc than the pro racers who are more likely to be in their teens or passed the family stage.

I think there is a good mix of restricted rules tests (licenses) although you can wallride if you are careful and easier ones ie M34 (ha! ha!) where grasscutting is not prohibited.

Someone else said the cheaters should not use those tactics when racing online or when posting quick times. If I am trying to better my previous time then I am comfortable with my tactics.

I will never claim to be better than Daan for example if I beat M34 by more than 0.03 secs.
