    Gran Turismo is not for me

    But holy fuck it looks so good

    I kinda wish one of my roommates was into driving sims because I'd love to just watch somebody play this

    it's really the only driving game, let alone driving simulation, that i get into.

    to understand the gravity of how unusual this is, know that i don't even have a real license. i've spent more time driving in gran turismo games than i've ever spent behind the wheels of a real okay now this is just sad and i'm embarassing myself

    When I got my very first PS2, it came with Gran Turismo 3

    I sucked so spectacularly at it, doing terrible on license tests

    But it looked so good and I liked the soundtrack a lot

    what i like most about it is that it's as much like an rpg as a traditional driving game

    winning races for cars and money, upgrading your cars very precisely, selecting the right cars for the right missions

    only instead of terrible anime storylines there's fucking sweetas replays of your gorgeous car tearing it down the straights and then really messily taking a hairpin turn and being bumped into sideways by an AI Mitsubishi Lancer

    But like

    I remember when I played GT3, I hit a dead end really early on

    'Cause license tests were impossible for me, and I couldn't do races for cash to buy other cars because I wouldn't do well in races.

    So it was just me racing against other dudes in a PT Cruiser, doing terribly.

    I know absolutely nothing about cars though so that probably didn't help matters.

    the online will surely suck like the last one, but it'd be cool to get a best lap thing going if anyone else is going to play this. is anyone else going to? christ, i can't be the only one.

    Oh man I completely forgot about burnout. I loved burnout 3. Only ridge racer I played was 64. I played that a bunch. But I still have burnout 3.


    I bought burnout paradise on my ps3 (download) and I hated it. I just didn't like the open city and the multiplayer (or COMPLETE LACK THEREOF) pissed me off. That, and the fact that I actually bought a multiplayer pack for it, and the multi was only of the pass-the-controller variety, which was bullshit.

    There's not a lack of multiplayer

    In fact I play multiplayer all the time

    It is literally the only multiplayer game I play

    And it is awesome, it's straight-up my favorite car-based game ever made

    Who the fuck plays splitscreen anymore

    Sounds like somebody's living in the past, man. Contemporize!

    Also it'd be pretty much impossible to do with a game like this on a technical level so you can't really fault them for it

    I'm almost certain that my brother will buy a PS3 specifically for this game.

    He bought a PS2 specifically for GT4 then spent about 400 hours in it.

    honestly I went to his house earlier this year and he was playing GT4

    He's done those 24 hour races multiple times

    A few, I think.

    B-spec mode is your friend. Except I think you still have to tell your computer driver to pit to fuel up and change tyres. But if you set it to triple-speed, then the race is only 8 hours of boredom.

    I like racing games and all, but I wish they'd localize the PS3 versions of Initial D and Maximum Tune.

    And if there isn't a PS3 version of MT, there dang well needs to be.

    Being able to save in pit stops would be tops

    This GT has a 2000 XR8 aswell

    I would like a GTHO though

    I played the hell out of GT3. That was probably due to how fantastic the game looked.
    Couldn't get how realistic the cars looked at the time. Also going 700MPH with the Pike's Peak.
