Waaah, this game is too hard, the license tests are too hard the special conditions are too hard the races are too hard why won't the car stay on the track? It's too hard to start, it's too hard to stop and it's too hard to turn! Why doesn't the NAAAAAWS make you go sooooper fast? Nurburgring is TOO NARROW! Suzuka has too many turns in it and Laguna Seca has too much sand! Waaaah, I want it EASY. The cars should stick to the track like glue, and my car should always be way faster, otherwise, what's the point? Waaaaah, why won't my car go where I point it?

I want a game I can finish in 10 hours because I have the attention span of a gnat and the dexterity of a moose on tranquilizers.

Okay, just kidding ;) I'm at about 80% and I LOVE this game! I just can't believe how many people come here to complain. It's like they want validation for their feelings of inferiority about the game. Guess what? The game doesn't suck, YOU DO. But you can get better.

I started playing the GT series with GT3. It came with my PS2. I tried to play it and I got so frustrated after a week that I just stopped. Came back after a month and the same thing happend. A month later I came back to it, and something just clicked. I got better and better. But look, at no time did I think to myself, "Wow, this game sucks, it's too hard!" I knew other people had done it, I knew it could be done, I knew I was the problem in the equation, and I got better. You can too, but it will take time. If you don't have the time to practice then this probably isn't the game for you. It doesn't mean the game sucks, though. It just means you have neither the proper skills to enjoy the game nor the time to acquire them.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, I haven't had my coffee this morning.
 
Haha! Great Post 👍

Welcome to GTP 👍
 
:lol: Nice one. 👍

Served as a nice laugh early in the morning.
 
:lol:
As I was attempting golds on some license tests, my wife came in the room. She asked to try a couple of the tests. She has never played GT4 (or 1, 2, or 3 for that matter), yet with only 2 or 3 tries she got bronze on 4 tests. So, I too have no sympathy for the "License tests are too hard" people.

never a truer word said. im getting tired of listening to all the moaners who wont or cant be bothered trying to better their skills. im no gt4 whizz, but i realise the reason i cant crack the game is because of my own short comings, not that of the game. its like they have this 'im the greatest' mentality. if they cant play the game, then the game is wrong not them. they need to have a word with themselves and sort it out.

GT4 rocks, they suck. simple really.
 
Actually, there are a bunch of us forum regulars who whine about just the opposite problem: We cry and blubber about how the game is way too easy.

For instance, I'm just getting to the rally events, and I'm blowing through them like you-know-what through a goose. What is this? I've seen so much sobbing and moaning about their difficulty, and I'm winning most of them on my first try!

I've heard that Grand Canyon Hard, at least, is pretty tough. I sure hope so, because everything I've seen so far is a snap.

Ah, come on! You can make the game as hard as you want. Put on economy tires and tell me how easy it is. Do the rallies in one of those 60HP cars. Done Mission 34 yet? The GT Championship in a non-class c car? Opel Speedster cup with a stock speedster?

Anyway, I've had my coffee now, so I'm feeling more constructive. If you are feeling this game is too hard, or part of it is, give it a break. Your subconscious will be working on the problem and when you come back to it, it will probably feel easier. If you can't do it, don't frustrate yourself doing the same thing over and over. When you do come back to it, try things differently. Brake later. Brake earlier. Take a different line. Having trouble with a course? Try it slow with economy tires (as Onikaze suggests, and it works!) Driving missions got you down? Play the game until you can get the car and unlock the course that are giving you trouble, and practice. Special Conditions too hard? Try driving the courses in different cars until you find one that works for your driving style. LEARN THE COURSES! I can't stress this enough. When I started playing, the courses I knew from GT3 were a breeze. Some of the new ones were hard, so I practiced them over and over. I can drive a sub 7'00 time on the 'ring in a stock mercedes touring car now. License tests giving you grief? Well, I can't help you there, buddy, if you can't get bronze on those you just plain suck. ;)
 
If you are a good driver it should not be so difficult. But I agree that some tests are really hard. But PRACTICE is the best way you can do it and LEARN THE COURSE as full_wick wrote. If you are angry and you cant do something, have a brake. Because as angry you will be as worse will be result. I broke my DS2 during one licence test :)

sorry for poor English

Once again, well said. Especially the part that says YOU CAN GET BETTER. And once you get better, put on those economy tires and start looking for 200 A-Spec points WITHOUT USING THE DODGE RAM!

Now this is the kind of rant thread that I like! :sly:
 
Ah, this was all but a good laugh, I see. Shoot, I'm at 73.3% complete. Haven't been playing the game too much recently. Don't hate it, just haven't played recently.

To clarify again, the racing is tougher and the stakes are higher in GT4 than in past GT games. This is all my opinion, so you can't assume that 95% of this message board thinks the races are too easy. I don't think GT4 is a joke and never will. I actually felt like I was pushed further in this GT game than past GT games. I tried to challenge myself to making limited modifications. But if I want to avoid being embarrassed either in A-Spec or B-Spec, I just do things old school- mod like crazy. The modifications may not be as COMPLETELY deep as (a rival racing game), but it is still pretty big in winning races.

By the way, 👍, to Post #7 by Zaggin. Now can you dig that, player?
 
well said and enjoy your stay.

GT4 is not hard its not easy either (well at least not for me) i find it moderate to easy and as said above the rallying was so easy I did them on the first day withing a couple of hours. but im finding the supercar cup a little trickier as my tire seem to give in a little too easy, but i can live with it and learn to conserve my tyers a bit more.

currently at 46%

Careful... you just crossed the line from hard to impossible :sly:

Actually the GTWC is quite doable in many of the regular LeMans cars (well I guess those are C class too). But the Opel Speedster in a stock Speedster, yes impossible.
 
This game was actullally fairly easy for me, although I own all of the GTs. It wasn't that hard to buy a car win a few races and buy a RX-7 and win the Japan championship. I'd say I'm more like the ones who said has been to easy so far. The liscences on this game are easy as **** I beat all of the in one try ( Mostly silvers too ) I have yet to figure out why so many people complain about them.

I beat the GTWC with a stock CLK GTR it wasnt that hard. :sly:

Absolutely. I've ran it several times with the R390, Toyo GT1, even once in the Skyline Concept GT-R. With the skyline I didn't win them all but did win the championship. I have also visited individual races with the likes of the Vette C5R, Zonda race car, even a high 600hp Castrol Tom's Supra and actually won them.
 
Well, a lot of the present youth generation are spoiled brats, used to get what they want -> that you have to work a little bit to accomplice certain goals must seem quite strange.
And as has been said before: If you cant make the licences, It's not the game that's too hard, It's you who have to practice more!!!
 
for some reason i found gt4 a little bit easier and more forgiving than gt3.
 
Certain races in GT4 are hard in that you cannot add horsepower to buy a win. You actually have to learn the track and drive with skill.
Somebody said they were hoping for a challange in the Rally and Grand Canyon Hard was mentioned. This is a tough race if you have not learnt the track in both directions. Adding power will not give you a win until you have learnt the track.
I spent 3 hours to win these 2 rallies. I used a 206 rally car with 400 hp and got 11 points per race. The 5 second penalties are a painas the AI will tap you as you pass and you get the penalty. Find a slow corner where the AI is not good at and pass there. If you get a penalty when passing on a slow corner its impact is lessened and you have more chance to block after the pass.
Forward and Reverse directions are like two different tracks at Grand Canyon as the fast parts in forward become slow in reverse.

👍 👍 👍

I'm forty years old. I played (but never finished) GT3 (GT4 was launched too early).
I bought it the first day of the north american release date...
I'm still just above 27% completion (and I dont care!). I play around three hours per week. And I'm playing most of my time on arcade mode time trial. there is so many stuff to do on this game (IT'S HUGE) and you can choose your own level of difficulty.
I dont modify cars and run mostly stock and always on road tires. My driving skill is so good when I try some car on simulation race now...
This game rocks, that the best I have ever played in my life! and for sure it will take me a decade to finish it(not my goal anyway!)!
And my girlfriend (29 years old) is laughing while I'm playing GT4 because I'm always wearing a huge smile ...

So if you have a hard time, take it cool and find a suitable level that will fit your driving style. After a while, you'll be good and go farther in the game (it is still a choice you dont have to do...).
Complaining is not constructive!

True that. I am one of the youth generation. But when I lose I don't cry,
I don't make a big deal out of it. I just keep practicing until i get it right just like you said :)

I'm not a spoilt brat either :)
