I do not want Trophies, Money or not even a title saying I am number "1". You can have your cheap trophies, paper titles, and dingy headbands. I am a "STORY" to my peers, a "LEGEND" for your kids to hear, and a "FOLKLORE" to keep you from dieing with fear - [b]Calvin D. Kates aka Chauncy "TRU" Talon. [/b]
11/23/2010 at 5:39 pm #47696lol its not driving in a circle … there are turns and hills and now weather and night cycles, tunnels etc.
With that argument you could say whats the thrill of fighting on the same small stages over and over in streetfighter… or football sucks because all they do is run up and down the same stadium the whole game.
Its about racing against other cars… the speed, the competition. Controlling the car at fast speeds, overtaking the competition in a race. How fast you can go without fucking up.

See that is why I’m not a racing junkie. I never liked racing games beside Mario Kart. Simulation racing are not fun to me.

I love the thrill of fighting. Hell I use to get into a fight each weekend. I would not consider my weekend completed unless I got into a fight. To see a Wrestler fighting a Boxer is amazing. Most racing games have you racing in the same class with the same model, similar to Indy cars. I’m not a racing fan but I do know that in Nascar that each company can choose what time of manufacturer you want.

But yeah its a travesty how poorly the menus are deigned and layed out. The shit makes no sense a lot of the time its like trial and error to figure that shit out. smh Like what the fuck were they thinking… its like they left it to get done later and never got back to it lol The music is VERY good though overall. I cant find the custom soundtracks shit yet either bah
11/24/2010 at 6:03 pm #47708Ye man I noticed a few things too.
First of all it keep telling me my time and date settings are wrong, but I can’t find the option in-game to change themMy system settings are correct but the game is still an hour ahead.
I read there is no levelling system when you race online, and no leaderboards etc which sucks balls.
There is a shit ton of screen tear. Honestly I would have been happy to give up half the cars featured in the game if they got it to run at 60fps without a hitch.
It still takes abit of time loading even after the full install lol
The graphics are great though, tracks are good, cars handle great.
I need to spend more time with it.
11/24/2010 at 8:54 pm #47710ok so after a few hours of play… winning a few cups etc I must say that although it has issues they nailed the driving. It doesnt feel like a sim at least with a wheel it drives great. Even the wack cars are fun to drive and thats a first ever for me. The tracks are nice too. So far not a 10 its like a 8.5 but a :^: for sure. I was playing Liquid swords and boxing fools out HAHAHA! Duel of the iron mic bitches! 😄
11/25/2010 at 3:30 pm #47715Racing with the Karts is alot of fun.
Brook when are you home from your trip so we can get a lobby going?
I see Space got the game as well.Apparently the servers are getting raped right now but Sony have said they are working on a solution.
Leaderboards and Match-Making is also supposed to arrive in the future, which is great news, I hope they introduce the levelling system like you have in the single player, and also the ability to earn credits that can be used to purchase things in single player mode too.
I do like how you can customise your whole GT Life space, and profile.
It’s easy to check on your friends progress and they have made it like a mini social network where you can talk shit on each others Walls. I see Brook has already begun.What car y’all driving at the moment. I’m using the Volkswagon Golf GTI 05. Making the first set of races piss easy.
