A-Spec. You'll have to drive yourself. It's easy tho, a sure win, and you only have to steer left.

There's a nascar event in A-Spec that'll give you almost 50k each four and a half minutes...

Have you ever wondered why chicken nuggets don't taste like chicken?

McPoison is what they should call themselves.

I didn't want to mention it, but yes, it was in my mind aswell.

You will never get your bloody rally pack!

Watch the credits of GT5. To me it makes sense that they took this much time and only have 200+ premium cars after seeing them. It's not exactly a lot of people who worked for this game.

Personally, i believe they don't really listen to the fans. GT is like their own little perfect game (for them, obviously), i think they do whatever the hell they want with it (which isn't exactly what the players want usually).

I can't take this serious. If you could get out of the car and shoot the people with a gun you'd have GTA. Instead of doing laps i keep running the people over and make stuff explode.

Quote from sinbad :
Photo mode photos look nice, and there's nothing wrong with them being of higher quality, just don't act like they're representative of the in-game graphical quality because they are not.

Indeed. Especially when doing nascar races and looking at the other cars, it's VERY obvious.

He makes blatant generalizations. What he wrote may apply to the folks you meet at some parties, but otherwise... way off.

And to say things like it takes a certain age to be mature, know what you want etc. Let me tell you, age has nothing to do with it. A lot of people i know who are well over 30 still don't know what they want in their lives. 21, yeah right...

To be honest, these posts sound a lot like some of his posts in the "just do mushrooms" thread. Uninformed, misinformed and a bit "green behind the ears".

Quote from danowat :Its quite a bit better with a wheel, than without.

Although playing with a wheel doesn't cure many of its other faults.....

Ohh come on, did you try for more than five minutes? I've played with the wheel for more than a week now and depending on car/tires i still catch myself being positively surprised at small details in the physics/force feedback. Give it some more time with a wheel, the joypad makes this game feel like Mario Kart.

What faults exactly?

Quote from S14 DRIFT :
Only that last year to go Dan where she could leave you (hope not though, or I might have to come up there and make you happy again!) but as soon as she hits 21, YOU IN THERE PLAYA.

Do you seriously believe this crap or are you high on something? Dude, what. the. ****.

Quote from Boris Lozac :So, what cars do you people found the best in the game, meaning that it feels like they haven't rushed them physics wise... I'm interested in Premium cars only.

...rushed physics wise? They just put the data for all the cars into their physics engine... you don't really believe they fine tuned them, do you?

It just happens to work better with some of the cars...

Cars i've tried so far that are fun to drive:

- RX-7 (all of them, including the tuned ones)
- S2000
- SLS
- Amuse S2000
- Ferrari F40
- Ferrari... umm... that semi-old one, don't remember the name...

Many more i guess, but that's the ones i've "tested" so far.

Quote from mr_x :You didn't really need to buy a new one - I bought a broken fat PS3 from ebay for £60 - not reading disks. All it needs is a new blu-ray laser which cost around £40, then you pull it apart using youtube tutorials and fix it yourself. Much cheaper!

I still have warranty on the old one. I'll get it fixed and sell it online.

Quote from jibber :PS3 is dead. Was level 22 (B-Spec level 10), had most of the licenses and special events gold, money, cars... gonna have to start over, brb!!!

Bought a new one. The old one was still running, but refused to read any discs. Found out there was a data transfer option in the menu, copied everything to the new one... works fine again!

Quote from Boris Lozac :Which version is that, there's quite a few RX7's and i've heard not all of them are great..

I've driven the efini RX-7 and the RX-7 Type R. Both handle great, i prefer the efini, but the Type R goes a little harder.

I guess i was lucky to always get away.

That RX-7 is amazing to drive by the way, isn't it?!

Quote from Chrisuu01 :I was in the car that was al the way on the left side as soon as it appeared on my screen I was like WTF

You kept a nice pace behind me in that race.

I've seen very minor lag once or twice when a car in front almost lost control (violent change in traction with too late corrections). All in all it's great. I was drifting with my friend for a few laps and was following him... everything was looking smooth (it really looks great because car movements look pretty real from the outside in GT5), no complaints whatsoever.

It was 10 people max. We limited it because we had no idea what the connection from my friend could handle. He's not a very experienced driver with computer sims (does trackdays in his mx-5 but basically just started with G25 and racing sims), so he was driving in the field far behind me. He said there were some rough drivers sometimes.

For me it was a little different. It seems i always got in front with the few people who joined from this forum (naturally ). So it was 100% clean racing for me.

PS: There was one moment on the nürburgring which was really weird/funny. When the race started, two or three cars were facing very wrong directions, standing in weird places. One car was all the way on the left side of the track, another one looked 45 degrees to the left (he had to actually start driving with making a turn, lol... i think it was mason ). Good times! Haha!

The lobby was full after some time. We'll find a different way with private lobbies/friend list (there should be a password option, would make it a lot easier). About half of the people in the lobby were just random people.

Also, we should probably plan things a little better regarding car restrictions. I'm looking at you mason, a race modified elise is not exactly a stock car... it was lots of fun tho!

All in all i'm very pleased with the GT5 online experience. I got disconnected a few times, but that was because of my bad connection i guess. I'm surprised how good online racing can be with GT5, there's a lot of potential. Physics and netcode allow for very close and precise driving/racing.

It was great fun and i think everybody who joined from here was driving very clean. In every race there was at least one other dude i hade a close battle with. It's been a while since i've had this much fun with a racing sim.

Let's do this again from time to time!

Quote from Luke.S :is the lobby down? I can't find it either. I just made up an s15. Only things done are aero parts the heigh adjust suspension so I can slam it and a 1337 carbon hood.

What exactly do you not understand about the word "stock"?

Quote from Luke.S :kk. I shall find my self something interesting to drive. My tuned MX5 can wipe the floor with a lot of super cars soo... I will look for something interesting. Prepare to be amazed by my awsome (shit) driving

Read two posts above, no tuning.

I have trouble with my connection it seems. Lost connection to the lobby and can't find it anymore... will keep trying.
