GT5: anyone get it?

[viridionplague]

im kind of dissapointed. it lacks alot of little things i would like to have seen.

all the upgrades cost the same for any car ive seen so far.
some cars a 30k turbo kit adds 8 hp, but the 3.5k header adds 12 hp.
poor number of event choices and used car choices.
personally i dont like the music or most of the menus either.
tons of cars but not alot of choices, aka many versions of the same cars.
also for as many cars as their is, there is alot of cars left out that would have been nice to see.

the game is fun enough to play but i feel like they could have improved alot of things.

I gave a dsm seat away to a friend who will be making his own cockpit to use with his stearing wheel setup.

im planning to make a couple of setups with a few leftover seats i have. :)

Still trying to decide if I should ask for this game as a Christmas present or not...

I'm mostly disappointed now that I've had more time with it. After all those years of devealopement it still seems something is missing. (ign gave it a 8.5, while Forza 3 got a 9.4)

On a side note, 3D is pretty sweet.

I bought it and am level 17 currently. I like it a lot, physics are a lot better than Forza IMO and looks better too. Only gripe I really have is the way the premium/standard cars are setup.

The only thing better then forza is the scenery, and a few of the "special races". The dealership/used car set up is stupid, and so is the fact you cant purchase or sell any cars online. I feel very little difference in the actual driving in game and the modding process also sucks. I always said I was going to buy a ps3 when this game came out, but imo it's not really worth it. I think the guys behind Forza could put out a better game in 12 months compared to... 6 years? And I'm not being biased one bit, I was excited as shit for this game but had a feeling it wouldn't live up to it's hype.

That being said, it's still a good game. But definitely not the OMFGBBQAWESOME!!1!11!! everyone was expecting.

I have it and absolutely love it.

I have played almost every racing game/simulator under the sun. I am reasonably sure, that GT5 is by far the best racing simulator. The only thing better in gravel is dirt 2. For those super-hardcore, there is GTR.

If you don't own a wheel - you don't even have a right to critique the game. Its like saying "I have banged a million women" when in all reality you are still a virgin.

I'm a Forza addict that use to be a huge GT fan. After making the jump from GT4 to FM2 a couple years back, I was blown away at what I was missing. If I'm reading that GT5 drives like GT3....well I can happily say I won't be buying it. GT has always had the car count there, but the actual physics were always lacking, along with a bunch of other things (release dates?). Forza 3 might not have some of the cars some want, but the physics in that game will always keep me back racing. At least until FM4....

I played GT5 at Rosey's this weekend. It's pretty good, but still has a bland watered down feel when it comes to physics and how the car feels. It plays like a game, not a simulator. I'd rather play Forza 3.

[awd-drifter]

playing with the steering wheel does make it THAT much more better. If you're playing with the controller, you're not getting much....kinda like you'd rather jack-off than do the real thing if you know what i mean.

Anyways, the game feels pretty great so far. I haven't driven high powered cars yet. Haven't had much time this weekend. I don't really like how the Miata can be easily over steered with the medium sport tires after corner exits...or I'm just a awesome noob when comes to driving a rwd car in gt5. GT5 definitely does not feel like GT3. Yes, if you have the controller, it will feel like GT3 i guess, but totally different story when you have a solid steering wheel. Haven't had much to review on the game because I haven't driven, modified, and played any awd, rwd, fwd vehicles yet but the game is far more better than gt4 so far, especially with the online play.
