What Attracts you to GT5?

This is my first and last post regarding recent events brought about by one of the most inane co,mments that I have seen that it has to qualify mightily as a troll.

We suck so bad at racing?....sorry, there are quite a number of very good racers here who got into building hybrids simply for the pure enjoyment of it as this game has long gone past boring regarding looking for races which gave real excitement ( a small number of events notwithstanding).

Racing fairly with cars?...if you mean the eternal chase of the rabbit you've missed the boat entirely as to what fair racing is.

The only thing you can use to win against people?....seriously, this is a valid or coherent argument?

You think using these cars are cool?....what next, our mothers wear army boots as well?

The only way to earn money in the game?....If it was ever about earning money, the $20mil limit makes that argument about as valid as the 'army boots/mother' level point.

And you have the gall to call yourself coffeedrinker when most of the serious coffee drinkers I know are manic lunatics (self included) who seek excellence in theiir chosen pursuits. I suppose you drink instant?

You just probably don't like the patch and all your hybrids went bye bye. Sorry, I'm not talking about this issue on the forums. If you got a problem with me, then PM me. Simple as that.

Just pointing out your hypocrisy. That's all. :)

Cool beans bro, if that helps you sleep at night then ok. :)👍

Yea I have. They have those demos at Best Buy. ._.

:lol:

I don't feel the vibe that I get from GT5. It's just like an NFS game if you were comparing cars because it just feels that its not offering as much as GT5 does. Forza only has 150+ cars while GT5 has over 1000+ cars. There isn't any competition for Forza because GT5 blows it out of the water. Even my little brother tells me that Forza sucks and he would rather play GT5.

Actually, Forza (4, in particular) has closer to 700 cars. The original Forza Motorsport had about 230 or so.

Where you've gotten "150+" is beyond me.


I might be bias towards Forza but IGN is extremely bias towards GT5. So its all in taste to the people. But I just don't get the vibe that its all about the cars like GT5 does.

I don't think bias means what you think it means.

Well I don't even know why you wanted to debate with me anyway. It's pointless. If you life Forza so much, go to the Forza forums, not here. And this forum that asks you what attracts you to GT5 so stick to the forum. And you haven't seen the IGN review for the Forza 4 vs GT5 Spec 2.0 review have you? It was bias.

There is no debate from what I've seen.

It's funny that your still talking about this. Your advise isn't needed.

It's funny that you brought it up and are new upset that your "facts" are being challenged.
 
What personal attacks? Please tell me when in this thread have I attacked someone for liking anything. I didn't say anything about someone being stupid for liking Xbox or Forza, I was stating my problems with it because someone asked me why I think that way. I simply spoke my opinion and yea I admit to being bias about it, but at least I gave a warning before I said anything.

So you didn't say "You people just suck so bad at racing" in reference to those who used hybrid cars?

And while you did not call anyone stupid for liking Xbox of Forza you did post clear flame bait in regard to both (please don't insult both of us by attempting to deny your comments would not generate negative impressions and reactions).

You need to be aware that my post in here is not a discussion, its an instruction, you can either take it on board or not, but continued posting along these lines I would strongly advise against.
 
Well I suppose 700 is 150+ in the same way GT5 has 50+ cars.

You obviously don't read everything do you? Do I sound upset? nope none. You might've not seen the video either of the Forza 4 vs GT5 by IGN. its understandable that people don't research their facts.

whatever you say chief ;)👍
 
A once promising thread has now lost its course totally.

You want to talk about Forza vs GT then post here:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=209534

You want to talk about hybrids, then head over to one of the many threads about it.

The staff are now telling everyone in here to cut the attitudes and get this thread back on track, the next one who fails to do so will be responsible for it getting locked and will earn a two day temp ban.
 
Woah, Scaff - no messing, eh? :sly:

Another thing that draws me back to GT5 is the Photomode. I love taking a car and creating a photo with the angle/filters that I want :)

You don't get that on Google Images. :p

Plus, you get to pit two completely different cars and race them/shoot a photo with them.
For e.g, find a picture outside of GT5, with a GranTurismo S cruising with an Infiniti Coupe Concept. ;)

Well.... I just like driving the different cars and seeing the interiors. I'll probably never get to do anything that cool in real life and driving is a good distraction... I've never had more fun than racing at De La Sarthe and Nurburgring 24hr with the display and map turned off while the weather changes.
 
Honestly, I am attracted to GT5 because there really isn't any other option on the PS3.
 
Thread cleaned - now keep it on topic.

With all due respect Scaff, I don't know why you bothered.
You're patience/generosity will almost definitely be abused. 👎

Having the HUD off is pretty fun when you drive :)

G27 + stock F40 with no ABS + no displays + Nurburgring Nordschleife = peace

sweet but the only problem with me is that I got a controller xD haha but congrats to you for finding your peace in the game ^_^
 
I used to do it with the tuned G35 but the rear window is blocked and the rear view mirror is hard to see through.
And no I'm not Italian. :sly:
 
Honestly the Online Community.

I love being in a heated (intense) lobby. Constantly using your best cars to be number one. Always trying to get the perfect line not to lose to your rival. Sometimes complaining that the winner only uses a M3 or NSX. I just love having to use my head constantly while racing to be number one.

The race feels like 30 minutes but it was only 5.

That's how I feel. I love competition and the rush that I get is awesome. I'm always pushing my cars to the limit and I try to find the best line. That's why I find lobbies that encourage clean racing because dirty racing is just a big demo derby and you can't get through one lap without getting your car thrown into space on the first turn.
 
Driving. I spend a lot of time in practice mode, and hardly ever in any other mode.
 
What attracts me to gt5 is the racing and driving experience. I feel (especially with the g27) that polyphony digital did an outstanding job on their entire series.

I love the weather, along with the amazing tracks in this game. The nurburgring is by far my favorite track, and I love taking any car onto it, racing it around, trying my best to tune it to perfection, taking it online, and then going head-to-head with a very friendly (usually ;)) online community.

I like how amazing and precise the camera is, taking in every exciting moment on the track, from racing battles, to cruising with your friends.

I also love to drive, but I cant, since im too young :(. So, gt5 gives me that escape of driving/racing that I cant get in real life. yet. (i get my permit in only a few months, though :) :sly:)
 
-Excellent quality of Premium models
-Support Many Force Feedback wheels
-One of the most realistic physics in GT Series
-A huge selection of street cars
 
Because its the only decent racing game on the PS3.

Haha isn't the G35 the one with the PS3 in the back? xD

Great FFB Feeling on all wheels.

Well GT5 is my most respected racing game that I own, but It just depends on what type of game play people are into. This game has a more simulated look on cars, unlike maybe Motorstorm that has a more arcade style to it. It all depends on taste of the gamer and I tend to go with more simulation racing style games rather than arcade style. That another reason why I love GT5 so much. :)

No. You are thinking of the High End Performance G37
