Wrong, first of all, I don't hate b-spec, it's much deeper and the english language may or may not have a word for it. Second of all, yes it does hurt, but go ahead, take a glass of water while swallowing. EVERYONE knows it's pointless, (deep down so do you) if credits were the issue we would have reasonably timed races that supplied a decent payout. I've never heard of a game where there is potential for non-interaction until now. If there are non-interaction games, noone rushes to the store to hurry up and buy them.
For the fifth time, I have no problem with, and ENJOY B-Spec. For the fifth time.
It does not hurt you. You dont have to play it. It is not useless, it has many uses. You don't have to use them
You dont have any reasonable grounds to complain, yet you choose to complain none the less.
Also, I have several management simulations where I need to do next to nothing to run. From simulated battles, to simulated sports teams, to simulated races.
I have one simulated racing game in which all I pretty much do is hire a driver, set up pit strategy, and sit for two and a half hours biting my nails.
Oh, and its graphical output is less advanced then formula 1's live timing.
And I enjoy it.
Is it that far-fetched to think that this is a trap for the players that are addicted to highly expensive cars? consider: How do we create an atmosphere where one has to save 14,000,000 credits, at 117,000 at a time? that is 120 Indy grinds. Probably with oil changes and maintenence over 12 hours if one could sit there non-stop. Hmmmmm.....maybe if one weren't even sitting there.....Now take a look at endurance race times. Insanely long, only without potential to save and re-start later.
Every car over 4 million credits is a prize car or a ticket car. PD obviously didn't want everyone to have expensive cars. The developer wanted you to do SOMETHING for your cars.
Endurance races I do in one sitting for every one of them under four hours. Over four hours, maybe two sittings or one with friends.
On B-Spec, I run them when I'm not home or sleeping. I'm not playing the game. I don't have to worry about power bills, being hows its included in my rent here, and I take care of my PS3's thermal needs, so it probably won't break.
Sorry, not far fetched, the Idea is login time and market share. If I remember correctly Kaz works for Sony as well.
It is far fetched. To get market share, you must first have a market. There isn't a whole lot of online car collection games on the platform, with the sole possible exception being Trofeo Pirelli. Which all of maybe five people including me, play.
There is a massive battle for online console market right now and it's hard to attract new business when you are sort of falling behind. I don't hate anyone for that either, I am with sony only because it is a free network. I will not pay for xbox services. I would just prefer that it would be enjoyable part of the game that gets updated, not the pointless part.
Sixth time. I find it an "enjoyable part of the game." So do others. Get used to it. Also A-Spec was updated, twice, last month. TWICE. LAST MONTH.
I do like to go and just make small coin on a fun race with a old car or maybe tweak a tune here or there, but Grinding and B-spec are not enjoyable and won't be participated in by the vast majority of players. That is not a theory.
I don't grind. I do what I want in the game. If I want an expensive car, I do alot of races to get the money, yes. But I don't do the same race over and over.
I might go do GVS 300km for the 100k-60 laps, then one of the FGT races for the challenge, dream car championship for the diversity.
It might take days for me to get a car. I recently took five days to work up 4.7 million credits for the R10 TDI.
Some people could probably do that in four hours or less.
I enjoyed every minute of it.
