Oh, I want a go at this
I have yet to grind. And why would you? The online time trial payout really well, so it's a more efficient use of your time. Base AI is far too uninteresting to make grinding for credits interesting. And, add to that, the weekly events. Do the five races they offer, get that prize money, plus 800,000 credits.
I turned the music off years ago so, I can't speak to this.
🤔 There must be hundreds of thousands of designs available at the moment (millions maybe?)
🤔 I have a VW with a dual clutch. I don't know what you're talking about. Are you talking about the car with cat deletes? This could be why it's "missing". Like, I'll be honest, the kids with their modded exhaust, where the cars pops and bangs every few seconds is SUPER annoying, so I'm glad it has been omitted.
Like the warning bells in some of the Japanese cars. I hate driving cockpit view because I can't stand those effects. Btw, that could also be an issue, because I know there are pops and bangs, but you have to be in the right camera position to hear them.
Ya, because Sony wants to make money off the people that absolutely MUST have all the most expensive cars, so they choke everyone on credits. It's standard fair in the game industry. They make such an enormous amount of money off these people that it taints the experience for everyone else. Thankfully, the most expensive cars are also some of the most useless.
I feel like this is a bug that has never been fixed. GT4 had DIIIIIIRRRRRT. I remember after the AI was done those 24 hour races, those cars were DIRTY. Now, there's a car wash feature, and I've used it to see if there's actually a difference, but ya, nothing ever gets dirty. I honestly think it's broken.
