I'm wrong? Essentially you agree with me but are childish about it "PD sucks donkey balls" and "can't program to save their lives" but your playing their game, they don't even know who you are or care.
I say it's used so PD can manipulate the difficulty level, you say " ASM PUNISHES good drivers." Again, kinda the same, only ASM is not forced in like 90%of the game so we can see it's only used to slow you down to increase the difficulty and not at all about punishing "good" drivers.
As I said PD has the AI at a level beatable to the masses. You say "It is forced because PD know the AI Sucks donkey balls.". Kinda the same thing but with an illogical approach. Do you really think PD can't program a AI that would spank you lap after lap? Ridiculous, the AI sucks Donkey Balls so you can play the game with the impression your a "good" driver. Lol
If PD can't program to save their lives, why are you playing GT & or on a board talking about it?
