well, it's kind of the reviewer's problem with sims, I guess.Yoboman said:

"The cars are just like real life! But the the things they did to make the user experience enjoyable blah blah blah" 8.34/10"
Keep in mind though, that this is the first fully fledged Gran Turismo that has online play, and maybe it shows. The game isn't even out everywhere in the world yet. It'll go through it's early teething problems, just like any other game would.hatchx said:
Well, not upgrades per say, but they are adjustable on Karts and stuff (Bias, etc). It's just you can't buy "Racing" or "Sports" packages like we're used to in GT and other games.expy said:

(General)
Even though this'll probably fall on def ears.
And/or care.
Reviews don't make the game, Good, Bad, and the Ugly.
People need to play it for themselves whether i'd be renting or buying, to make up their own mind if they're interested in this genre or not.
Sadly though, we're in the day n age where people think Reviewers are the gaming gods and they know best :lol
Me, I like making up my own mind. You?
From 7 to 10, tells you something though.
People have different 'opinions', and thats all.
*burp..
There's my DrPhil comment.

Well I'd rather the truth than another GTA4.Bossman said:
I'm trying to understand how the PHENOMENAL game I've been playing these last 4 days can get 8/10 scores from gamers. I mean, I could mentaly accept my mom not to see the quality difference between this and other racing games, but come on, journalists? I can't find any explanation, it's as if Half Life 2 or Mario Galaxy 2 received such scores in their time. Pinacle of the genre: 8/10. Riiiight.

Let me tell you a little secret: Perfectionists are rarely satisfied with what they produce. Even if it's as close to perfection as possible. Believe me, I'm one of them. It's a sad existence.Razgreez said:
So I wouldn't be surprised at all if down the line, he'd let some disappointment shine through in interviews.
Nevertheless, this looks like a great achievement. The variety alone is something to be marveled at. Unprecedented.
That, coupled with the physical believability, the occasionally extraordinary production values and the extra fluff that's just there for good measure can really only get a thumbs up.
At least going by the reviews.
I'm still more of a Forza 3 guy though lol

Yeah, kinda expected from what i've seen these past days.
It's a game that's so incredibly ambitious.. It's almost impossible to live up.
I'm sure it will sell a gazillion copies, but i can't help but feel a bit sad for the devs.
I'm certain that this is not the game they had in mind.
In the end you have a game that is a good sim, but with a lot of not that goodlooking cars and tracks, sounds that are hit or miss, awefully long loading times and the gameplay: you're driving a virtual car in circles.

I assume he is. Not everyone is sold purely on brand name. Review scores matter to those who aren't hardcore.Kuran said:

It's getting better reviews than i thought , still i going to enjoy the hell out of this until the better GT 6 comes out .

You can't be serious. After all the talk about GT5 there is no way this game was going to be well received by the gaming media.
Everyone was already tired of talking about GT5 and then Sony gives them review copies 3 days before the embargo? I'm sure a lot of them were pissed about having so little time to play the game in time for having a review online as soon as possible. Unfortunately, only a small minority of people care about reviews 1/2 weeks after release, so Sony asked for rushed reviews.
It's a shame this is the state of gaming media but they only give what the general audience wants.

rational people are posting right now.i_am_ben said:
despite the people who are only posting emoticons n' over-reactionary shit.
and yes, Turn10 is giggling themselves to sleep now. I might be wrong, but I don't think it's possible for GT5 to outscore Forza 3 (overall average scoring) at this point. Not in at the major review sites, anyway. That really was the expectation for most. If we're honest about it.

Haha you bet your ass. And not without reason, they really hit the spot when FM3 came out. No question about it.HK-47 said:
Seems like GT5 is having a harder time landing overall, but for the hardcore simmers, which essentially are the people PD are talking to, this game should be heaven.
HK-47 said:
Why because some people think there game is better then GT5?
We didn't need reviewes to come out to tell us some would prefer Forza to GT5, same goes in reverse.
If you mean Metacritic or Gamerankings then eh really they come across more douchy if they try to use that shit so I don't really care.

eeeeeeh I dunno about that.wmat said:
I don't think there were 14 million hardcore GT3 players out there. I think GT has a lot of casual appeal. It's just that it's more than deep enough for the dedicated to really enjoy.
well...it's the only measuring stick used to determine what games may be better than others. and it's kinda more than a handful. Almost all of the biggies have spoken.Loudninja said:

not at all
as I said in my post, I am a CAUSAL racing fan. As someone that only has time for one racer this holiday it will be the better game. Yes NFS and GT are different animals but Ill take what ever is better. So far the low scores and bad online impressions are a turn off. I guess its my fault for expecting the second coming of Christ with this game
