What would you rate this game on a scale of 1-100?

[doblocruiser]

I think 50/100 is justified since all feels uninspired, unfinished and not well thought through. And yes, 6 years of developement should have delivered the pinnacle of racing games. It only succeeded in the aerea's Physics and Premium Cars. It has done nothing new since GT1 up to Gt5P and that's a major issue!

I still like driving arround in GT5 but this genre needs something refreshing and new!

Without doubt, Polyphony is dedicated but with this one they went horribly wrong. Hopefully they learn something out of it. Me, definitely!

Sometimes less is more

 

[Sselecta]

if you rate the game 30 you simply don't like racing games, and has no reason to be playing the game.

Giving Gran Turismo 5 a low score isn't the same as disliking racing games. GT5 simply just doesn't deserve a higher score for mentioned reasons, in my opinion.

The core elements of the game, the racing itself, it excellent.
As others have said, a top simulator, in a mediocre game.
30, or 40, is a horrible game, with nothing going for it.

That's exactly what GT5 is for me.

I honestly don't get why people who rate the game 30'ish are playing it in the first place.

I don't, not anymore atleast.

If you really hate it that much, you've got to have hated racing games in the first place, and there's no reason for you to be rating a racing game, let alone a GT game.

Are you kidding me? Let me clarify that I love racing games. In fact, that's pretty much the type of games I play 95% of the time; race sims, arcade racers and racing games in between. Not to mention that I've been playing the Gran Turismo series since the age of 10, GT2 being the first one.

GT5 is nothing but pure boredom, in pretty much every aspect. Once again; it's my opinion. So please, don't get cranky.

People rating this game at 70 or below need to have a real look at the quality of other games and sims out there to get things in perspective.

Even though they too lack in some areas, majority of them are still better and more fun to play.

 

[sesselpupser]

Let's put it this way; this game has made me seriously reconsider buying Dead Space 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, etc, etc. It's really like my entire gaming life has hinged around the GT franchise (and MGS too, but I think that's dead now). I love cars, I love games, so (realistic) car games are as good as it gets for me.

That said, I do still play Black Ops. Might replace that with Killzone 3 if it competes, KZ2 was a bit too slow and the weird controller lag was, well, weird.

So yeah, GT5 I'd give 90+. That said, I can completely understand why so many people hate it, but personally I find more to love about the game than hate. Compared to Forza 3, I think they're about equal if you balance the number of things they do well with the things they don't, but the fact is GT5's big advantages over Forza 3 are more important; Physics, and more cars that I like. I'd like to try a PC sim, but I'm worried they might completely swallow my entire life.

I hope you all are aware that the owner of this site, etc

GT Planet is full of negativity, were you even here when GT5 was launched? So many negative threads, and we still get them, yet when was the last time you saw someone get banned without a severe AUP infraction, or multiple less severe ones with ignored warnings? That would suggest that whoever owns this site operates it as a fan, yes, but respects other peoples' opinions and while he may not agree, he pays hosting fees to allow those people to air their opinions on his site.

 

[JoeMaPampang]

I'd give it a 67

 

[SCUD77]

I would score it 70 % why ? because there are too many poorly done things in the game, the track creator, Bspec, lack of track's, badly thought out career progress which results in hours of boredom grinding up, lack of "current" cars from around the world. I am actually glad the game has got some pretty poor reviews because hopefully it will bring pd out of la la land.
What would I do ? get rid off the track creator (or give it more creation options) get rid of arcade mode, drop the car count by losing the duplicate cars (albeit from different years) and use the space to make the actual game bigger by adding more track's and more Aspec races. I still love the gt series and I enjoy gt5 more than my other race games but with 6 years a virtually unlimited budget and the fact it is one of the ps3's biggest tiles it should have been much bigger.

 

[calan_svc]

As a game, 75-80%

As a racing/driving simulator, 25-30%

...get rid of arcade mode...

WTH would you want to do that? Arcade mode is the only place you can find a race with somewhat decent competition and at least rudimentary damage.

Total 61/100

I forgot to score sound in my earlier post 8/20 so that would bring the Total to 59/100 but I am going to deduct 5 for making B-spec essential so my new score is 54/100.

To those complaining about the scores the title asks "what would you rate this game". Not everyone has the same rating scale. The fact that there are so many disappointing scores in a thread on GTP, a place where you would expect scores to be a little high probably indicates that PD really need to start listening to what the consumers want.

 

[Mygroth]

I'd give it a 78. I enjoy the game but I can feel it going downhill as I'm progressing into the game.

A friend of mine is selling his Xbox360 + FM3 to me.....I just want to compare them :-)

 

[MadduckUK]

foregoing all the detailed analysis and just going on feeling, 65-70%

 

[420Gunny]

This is a funny game to rate. The first week I'd give it an 82. After a few weeks and a few updates it was at a 85. With a few more updates I truly feel this game can reach a 92 or so. A-Spec and B-Spec suck and now that they've made the bonus rounds way to easy... it's boring offline... a grind. I will play them just to earn the extra credits but offline is horrible and the only reason to play it is to get cars and credits. BUT, I don't buy and play games to play offline. In fact I hate being forced to play this game offline but I understand it to get the cars you want. At first, I was not a happy camper with online. Only reason is because there are so many scrubs and horrible race track setups. Now that I've slowly built up a good friends list, it's truly a great game. Racing with all aids off, penalties on, tire wear and full damage, and the right racers, league, makes this game superb! The sound does suck on this game though! Nothing like spending 500,000 credits and your car sounds like a scooter! Some of the race cars have decent sound but give us the realism of what a bad ass car should sound like! The did an incredible job with the GT Driving Force wheel! But, why did you take away or R/A Function settings???? One more complaint... if you have 600HP and you try and do a burnout, the brakes override the gas and it just stops! WTF? On Prologue you could light up the rear tires and front tires were locked. Sounds stupid but looked great on replays! And besides, with that kind of horsepower it would make the game more realistic of what cars do. Hell, a Prius can do a burnout! I'm at Level 33 on A-Spec and B-Spec. I'm a few cars away from never playing offline again except for Bonus Races and Practice to tune cars for weekly league races. WOOHOO!! Does anyone want to trade my Red Bull X car for the Audi LeMans car or the F2007? I have the F2010 but wish I had saved the extra 2 million to get the F2007. Again, this game is a few updates away and a month away from getting rid of all the arcade racers, and this game will get so much better! Can't wait for SPA and Pikes Peak this summer!

 

[lbsf1]

I would rate it at 90, great game. I never got gt4 (didn't work on my ps2) so everything in this game is completely new to me.

 

[thebigmacmoomin]

70 out of 100

Good but no where near as good as it should be.

 

[Prodigy122]

I hope you all are aware that the owner of this site, GT Planet, reads these forums and I'm quite certain he would not approve of you all posting so many negative comments about Gran Turismo 5. I would advise that you go over your criticism with a fine picked comb and select your words carefully.

I bet none of you even know the name of the owner of GT Planet.

I believe that this is why we are posting in a FORUM. A forum is where people post there individual and unbiased opinions about matters.

My rating for the game is a 75/100. I love the graphics on the Premium cars and the standard cars are still the graphic quality of Forza 3, which is not bad. The physics in the game are very good. For me it just doesn't have a long lasting appeal like the GT's before this have. For the time given, I am playing Forza 3 until GT6 comes out.

 

[Tornado]

People rating this game at 70 or below need to have a real look at the quality of other games and sims out there to get things in perspective.

I've played sims since the late 90s. Never before have I played one where every supposed feature of the game was compromised in some way. GT5 suffers from so many stupid and glaring problems that it seems obvious that no one at PD ever bothered playing it before it was released.

WOW, i'm surprised with how many bad ratings you guys gave it. At one moment, i tought i was on some NFS forum.. I guess it depends if you want destruction derby / nfs arcade kind of racing game or real driving experience.

No. It depends on whether you want an actual finished game after so much time and so much hype. To be frank, the assertion that "if you don't like GT5 you must not like sims" is stupid.

The most annoying thing is when i see comments like "it took 6 years to make, therefore its a bad game". I cannot stress enough the absolute insignificance of comparing the making period of a game with its quality.

Development time doesn't imply quality, no. But when those 6 years are spent building up the game to unrealistic expectations, you generally hope for the final product to attempt to meet them (even if you know it won't be able to). Not be worse at doing most things than the game that preceded it.

You just cannot lower the rating so much, on game this huge and wonderful, as most of you guys did, just for couple of mistakes.

Then it is a good thing that GT5 has more than just a couple of mistakes, eh?

 

[panjandrum]

Wow, that's complicated to answer. Some of the stuff is so brilliant and beautiful, and then so much of it is so flawed. So when I hop in the '62 Ferrari race car and it feels so real, and you look down and the world is reflecting off the chrome steering wheel and all is good with the world? That's a definite 100. When you are driving at night in A premium car and you realize that the reflections from the road signs are reflecting back across your windshield? That pure heaven, another 100. But when you climb in your favorite car and find out that it's online handling characteristics are so far off that it's literally undriveable? Well, that's a big fat 1. When you realize that all the tracks you love are removed, and that an absurd quantity of boring Japanese daily drivers are "premium" but that many of the historic and interesting cars are not? That's another big fat 1. Ditto with the horribly short A spec. And while we are at it, how is it that nobody at PD seems to understand how this thing under my left foot called a "clutch" works in real life? Another 1 there because not programming a proper clutch is nothing less than moronic.

So I'll rate it a 10 for now. Why? Because I think that when something which has the potential to be perfect, or nearly so, is ruined by poor design decisions, bugs, or other flaws, it is tragic. (What is worse, a really lame game which is unplayable due to bugs, or an incredible game which is unplayable due to bugs). (to draw another analogy, which is more tragic: a wrecked Yugo, or a wrecked Porsche?)

But if PD fixes these issues, this thing could go all the way to 100...

 

[MeToo]

Compared to GT4 its a 40, that makes it a sloppy labia. All the waiting and delays involved, the game should have been better.

Lower rewards relative to higher car prices
You have to wait for many cars you want to pop up in the UCD instead of just buying them, talk about frustrating

No fast forward in B spec (oh yes please take up more of my time on one race, I want it to take longer)

Crap Bspec drivers who would rather ram the car in front than overtake them and are just generally slower.

No test course or drag strip

The whole XP thing and the associated grinding that comes with it

Not being able to save endurance races part way through

All the hype about having the Top gear track and all we get is it coming up in British lightweights race and the special missions where you drive a 1940's German truck and to "unlock" it you have to get gold on a race with VW vans utterly slow and tedious and even when unlocked you still can't have proper races in it like other tracks.

Prize cars that can';t be sold, (why? it makes no Goddamn sense) thus depriving the user of another source of funds

Jordan Greer.

I have PMed him personally on a few occasions and the response was always an action that showed he wants to run a fair an open site for all people regardless of how they feel as long as they follow the rules of proper conduct while here.

BTW telling other members how to behave is not proper conduct, that's a realm reserved for mods and administration around here. Just a heads up...

Compared to GT4 its a 40, that makes it a sloppy labia.

A sloppy WHAT!?

 

[Rotorist]

I give it 89 because it has no save in endurance, it has no pause in B-spec and some other details. Very excited with physics! A-spec 27, B-spec 25.

 

[trocade]

Maybe around 70 now ... am I the only that think GT5 feels just like GT5 with better physics?

 

[BoneSawTX]

Maybe around 70 now ... am I the only that think GT5 feels just like GT5 with better physics?

Pretty much.

Grade: 70 and I'm being nice.

 

[Bandwidth815]

i'd say like 87

 

[Max_DC]

89

pro :

- licences
- special events
- seasonal events until the last update
- handling
- sound
- visuals of premium cars and certain effects / certaina spects of tracks

con :

- A-Spec ( no regulations - no motivation )
- seasonal events since the last update ( no regulations - no motivation )
- visuals ( especially certain tracks like original courses look like PS2 HD )

 

[striker12345678]

i'd say i'd give it 85

 

[daspianist]

65

- Exquisite looking premium super cars (Pagani, Ferrari, etc)
- Terrible looking everything else

- Physics is great for a few cars
- Physics is way off mark for a few cars

- Some events are exciting
- Too few events and too much repetitive gameplay

- First week of game play is amazing
- Lasts about 2-3 month, then its not fun anymore unless you play 2 player split screen. I don't grind to collect every model of Skyline ever made, and the ultra premiums (X1s, FGTs, etc) are mostly free from the save game exploit.

 

[vaneyk]

75. Its not really as good as i hoped it would have been

 

[NFSCARBON1]

80. Not as good as GT4 due to things being missing. However the continual updates have added some good new features.

 

[rgoff31]

80 seems like a fair score. It's good and I'm having fun with it, but it has issues and needs more work and patches.

Screen tearing in many of the city races is the most distracting or annoying to me. I haven't seen any, but I'd rather notice a frame rate drop than tearing any day.

 

[kenkwilinski]

A-Spec - 23
B-Spec - 23
first fews weeks I would give it 100
but now I'm at the unfortunate grind....I need a 2J, lol...don't have $14M just to win a race....but I still play everyday.....so......
I give it : 85 and going down until they improve online play. But since they won't improve online play I'll just have to join the WRS lol...gives me more motivation

 

[NOS Waster]

I'm probably going to do an extensive review over the next couple weeks.
My findings will be harsh, but fair. It will not be in a rant style like my other post in this thread was.

 

[Samus]

So the current GTPlanet average rating is 75/100 from 102 ratings.
