SixTwoSixFour Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 GT5, anyone? I just got it the other day, and DAMN, what a game. I'm still pretty terrible, but since I'm racing in a Ferrari 512BB it hardly seems to matter- I can corner like shit and still blow everyone away on the straightaways. God damn that is a sexy ass car. This is not my first GT- I played 3 back in the day for all of ten minutes before hating it with the fire of a thousand suns. I don't know if the game has fundamentally changed, or I have... but 5 is the shit, my friends. What car are you guys driving? Are those license tests driving you crazy? And why won't that goddamn Trueno show up in the Used Car Dealership? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshi Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I am still in the beginning and I drive a civic since I don't have a lot of time to play right now. God I suck at racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Turns out, you can export the pictures you take in photo mode as jpegs! So here you are, since you didn't ask- my Ferrari that I'm so proud of. A true classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Started off with some car I can't even remember the name of. Some 4 door japan-only (or at least something the dont sell in america) family car. I recently bought a RX-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I play it with a Logitech G25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I play it with a Logitech G25. Do you find it gives you a better experience, significantly? I'm about to sell my car, which will give me a little disposable income, and I've been considering a racing wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Selling your car and getting a racing wheel for Gran Turismo? My mind is blown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixTwoSixFour Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Selling your car and getting a racing wheel for Gran Turismo? My mind is blown! Hahahaha, it is pretty ironic, isn't it? I just don't use it- both my jobs and the grocery store are within walking distance, and this city has a great bus system, so there's no point to having it.

Yantelope Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I got GT5 and was really excited for it but I haven't been able to bring myself to go back and play it some more. I'm just not in the mood lately. I'm a bit turned off by the standard cars vs. premium cars nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've got it. I'm rubbish at it. I just have the best car so can beat everything despite spinning off all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc4life Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've got it. I'm rubbish at it. I just have the best car so can beat everything despite spinning off all the time I still have to give you a good race online. Then again, with my A and B spec levels being 23 and 22 respectively, I'd expect to probably blow you out of the water. Maybe later? While I'm here, those fucking NASCAR school challenges are a god damn nightmare. I just about got Bronze on them all, enough to get the trophy and I thought "NEVER AGAIN." And I didn't even win a NASCAR to do the series race either. /o\ TIP: I can't remember what series it was in B-Spec that lets you win the Pagani Zonda R, but it'll be your friend doing the Like The Wind series. Lengthen out the top speed and set the suspension cambers to 4 on each side and you should be able to compete on the oval tracks properly.

Nexus Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've given up with the NASCAR challenges. I can't do one of the intermediate ones, and it's annoyed me to such an extent that I've just given up. What level are endurance races? I want to do a million hour race. They're fun.

Yantelope Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Yeah, the NASCAR challenges are too sensitive for the poor DS3. It seems like it was made specifically for people with racing wheels. The whole game kind of does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 25 I think. I can't wait for them. Yeah, the NASCAR challenges are too sensitive for the poor DS3. It seems like it was made specifically for people with racing wheels. The whole game kind of does. Some of the stuff like the oval racing really does need the wheel for it because it requires that much accuracy. You can get away with it more on the traditional circuits I think, but I don't have any qualms with the DS3 driving experience outside of the damn NASCAR challenges/races.

Sage Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 let's put it this way...you haven't played gran turismo till you have played it with a wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I should find myself a wheel to play this with. Watching my brother play it... I noticed one the of the AI driving a Prius... I drive a Prius IRL and I lol'd. No way a Pruis is racing material. At all. Acceleration suck ass. I doubt a sport tuning on it can even save it.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm guessing you've never played Gran Turismo before. There's plenty of cars that aren't racing material. Hell, those are usually the harder races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yeah, I know part of Gran Turismo's DNA is simulation but still. It sort of want me to play this game with a Prius just for kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 A prius wouldn't even be the slowest, least powerful thing you can drive haha. There's actually a whole bunch of cars in the prius' range (low horse power "family" type vehicles.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Okay, finally gave this game a spin. I. Want. A. Racing. Wheel. I know I can do better with a wheel. Hell, I think I can do better with the controller with practice but yeah... A decent one costs about the same as a new PS3. I think I will need to have my younger brother help finance this. He somehow got enough money for this game so I think he can manage to get enough to help for a racing wheel. *Or cost about half a PS3. I dunno now...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I use real triggers and have gas/brake setup on l2/r2. It feels nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Really, I want to cry in the Nascar portions when I'm going for gold... +00.042... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF And now I FINALLY GOT IT AFTER A BILLION TRIES and this is only the training portion... :'( --- To think I try to go perfectionist on a racing game...

MasterDex Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 For some reason, I expected a lot more people to comment here. GT5 sold loads, didn't it? I've been playing the series since the first one but it wasn't until the second game that I started being able to play decently (Thanks to the help of a Kiwi and the dual analog method), I've been enamoured with it ever since. We should try to get a few races going, maybe if there's enough willing to participate, we could even set up a tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 It's my "casual" game where I only play it now and then so I don't have much to talk about here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 So, don't bother getting one of the Ferrari F1 cars for anything other than that 1 make race that popped up last week. They can't be used in regular Aspec or Bspec. Like not even the Endurance races. Just for practice, online F1 only races and Special Events with them as the make. Would have been super for them to list that in the Description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
