Gran Turismo 5

I have to say, I haven't even touched this game in a few weeks.

I'm so utterly disappointed with it, I'm about to go sell it back to GameStop and go back to playing F1 2010.

Do they have E30's in it?? Im sure someone would have posted it by now.

no but they have 200+ versions of every r32, r33 and r34 skyline. Also have a 97 and 98 civic type r ek9 but you can only put wheels, carbon fiber hood and race mod the 97 not the 98 cause one is "standard" and the other is a "premium"

blegh!

blegh!

despite the negatives i've been blown away by the physics...

when i get my bloody pedals im going to give iracing a go because i hear that that is the GO-TO sim.

I'm blown away with the physics too, but only the Front engine chassis and tire models - spectacular. I'm blown away by the unstable physics of most of the mid-engine cars and abilities of the AI cars in a completely different manner.

:evil: :dot:

Maybe the AI are major lard asses and increase the car weight by a factor of 10. Seems that any contact with them ends up being more like a Smart car vs. an Abrams tank.... If they can spin you with a tap in a corner, you should darn well be able to knock them straight off the track with a 100 mph closing speed. AI cars make good brakes, as long as you hit them square - hit them offset or at an angle at those speeds, they make a small correction and motor on while you go spinning off into the sunset...(hehehe.. I was messing around a bit last night.... not my usual driving style)

rofl im a late breaker by nature but sometimes when i know i cant pass them fairly is use them as breaks too.. the way i see it, it wont hurt them as much as it would hurt me lol

I've become pretty tired with this game. The seasonal events are fun though.

[5Toes]

^ yup. Im 23 a spec.. I dont even know how. I wish it would tell you your total driving time. Like on MW2, it tells you your total time played. Im at like 7 days total. Eww

[aintnothang]

Got it today and played 7 hours straight. I was glad to see you can color match the RS's to your car. Overall good game.

The new set of bonus races look sweet...

Managed to get a gold in the GT-R race last night. On the last try at the last possible moment. Finished 1.5 seconds ahead of the GT at 9:58. Went back into try to run the RX-7 race again (I was still a few seconds off leader), and was locked out.

Those seasonal races are the best/fastest way to level up. I'm sitting at 24 now, and I'm calculating I'll be at 25 when I'm done with the Bonus Race 2 set.

5Toes - you can always approximate based on how many miles you've driven - that's in your profile.



So, I put my newest B-spec driver "Dudley" in one of the Expert races. Went from level 2-just shy of level 6 in one race. Based on his driving, I think that the 'experience' bar means a lot more than driving level. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Is it better to slowly progress a new driver with lower exp point races? Or can you just run the big races and level up and the driver will still be fast/consistent with less f'ups?

look closely

realism is much better on iracing. plus it's got real tracks not some fake ones. gt5 isn't all bad but with the limited time i have to "drive sims" I'd much rather spend it on iracing. for example I am going to winterfest@sebring for a race next week and iracing has it. it's a huge step up when you can drive a track before you get there.
