NEVER

It's so infuriating when you miss a gold time by like 0.2 secs :lol



After a few of them i think it's sort of a requirement

feels like "FUCK YEAH I CAN BEAT ANY TOP RACER IN THE WORLD NOW!"

only until the next license test fucks you until you cry

I've missed some gold times by thousandths of seconds and spent an unhealthy amount of time trying to improve just to hear the music for a gold.

Where is my screen-tearing Polyphony?! I been playing for 6 hours now and haven't seen any tearing yet! I might have to return mine for another copy which has the screen-tearing feature because I'm feeling left out.

From the LoT video, the tearing is almost always in the bottom or top of the screen, so you might have to have someone else pay while you watch the boring parts of the screen, then you can have some too.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Try 0.075 :lol

Losing gold by .007 on B-5 made me want to break the disc. On A-8 I still can't seem to get gold... missing it by .5 seconds. =/

 

[dofry]

Hey Jeff Gordon! I have an idea. Why don't you shut the hell up and go make me a sandwich while I do your challenges?

Hmmm, all I can remember for that was that I never used the brakes... Apart from that, it's timing your turns and managing throttle.

Multiplayer in Ferrariland was godly tonight, lots of fun.

The more i play, the more i like Gt5, i'm addicted like it's 1997 with Gran Prix Legends demo.

For those with trouble with the SambaBus Top Gear challenge, that's easy compared to the one that follows it.:0 Again it is do-able, but if you cursed with the SambaBus you'll be spitting blood with the next challenge!

Yup... Screw the lotus... =(

 

[-viper-]

I've been playing GT5 with a controller and am now scared to go on the wheel because I think I'll have to 'relearn' everything all over again.

:\

BTW, DFGT users, what is the best force feedback setting? Something which will allow me to play better.

 

[minimumhippo]

Feel free to add me on psn. I'm not very good but i would love to try some online races.

What peeves me though is how I'm not allowed to nudge the opposition yet the game has no qualms about them side swiping me at corners.

If your MPH (whatever that is in moon measurements) is above 45+ (possibly 40) SLAMMING into people will DQ. If you're in the 40MPH or under range, you won't disqualify. Use that to your advantage. Hang a tight left on the turn before Gambon, and e-brake tap to slow yourself a bit if you are careful, you'll overtake a few of the busses and lightly hit another setting you up to get through Gambon.

 

[chogidogs]

These licenses are frustrating as heck, but I'm going to admit, they made me a better driver in the game.

I like the license test because I like the narration on what I'm suppose to be doing.

I've tried it a few times. I just have to wrap my head around how light the Lotus feels. It's the exact opposite of the SambaBus, which is big and heavy and you can just throw it around and it'll never spin out. The Lotus is so light that even being off slightly with your turning angle could put you into a fishtail. I better win something really nice for golding that one, whenever I get around to it.

Thanks man, still plugging away at it now.

 

[Carlisle]

That is awesome man. You playing with a wheel?

2 DS3s actually. I haven't been a big racing sim aficionado in the past so I didn't want to splurge for too big of an investment right off the bat, but GT5 has me sold. A wheel, pedal, shift stick combo on a rack thing will be my next big purchase for sure.

 

[Melfice7]

Holy shit at the Grand Tour Special Event where you drive the Murcielago. I didn't even complete it and my nerves are wrecked. :/

i cant get gold no matter what i do O: guess ill have to use some assists on that one

 

[TheBear]

Any benefit to getting Gold in the licenses?

 

[Ashes]

5 bonus musuems cards and I'm in... Ashes on, gaf is on and gt5 is good to go.

 

[Melfice7]

:lol There's a trophy to win a race by less than .01 seconds.

did that one

Who else has CGTS? (Chronic Gold Trophy Syndrome)

I get silver or bronze in a race/test. NOT GOOD ENOUGH WILL NOT QUIT UNTIL I GET GOLD :lol

fffuuuuu

thats me

My game just froze when accessing the server list :/

yep happened to me twice, im not even going online for a few days until they sort everything out

 

[pix]

FUCK YOU SAMBABUS!

Spoiler

Gold baby!

 

[Melfice7]

FUCK YOU SAMBABUS!

Spoiler

Gold baby!

you will rage on the next event

 

[Nostalgic Nightmare]

Seriously the Top Gear Lotus challenge can fuck right off.
I've never driven an Elise in real life, but my buddy has an Exige and I have driven it plenty, there is just no way the car could be this unstable. The exige feels like one of the most stable cars I've driven. The car must be set this way to screw with us!

 

[vpance]

The racing line kinda messes you up in getting golds, but they give a good starting point though. Like in B-5 and 6, they tell you to break on turn entry, gas back on for a few meters, then break again. Both licenses I only golded by breaking much later and in one shot.

 

[dofry]

Dammit. Now I noticed the A-Spec, B-spec typo in GT Life menu. Now they will always bother me.

 

[DarkJC]

Just did the intermediate level AMG full ring lap. What a great drive, really want the SLS AMG now.

 

[pix]

you will rage on the next event

Yep I almost jumped off my balcony when I entered the first turn. :lol

 

[Melfice7]

what tyres does the elise have on the event? i forgot, anyway elises are known for being very tail happy but controllable too, maybe the tyres arent doing it any favours

forget the driving line, driving line is for a safe lap, you need to go on the limits to get the golds

 

[test_account]

You get more XP to level up compared to getting bronze and silver at least, but other than that i dont know if there are more benefits

Dammit. Now I noticed the A-Spec, B-spec typo in GT Life menu. Now they will always bother me.

It will probably be changed sometime in a future patch i think

 

[flipswitch]

Could someone please tell how to unlock the nurburgring.It doesn't appear to be in arcade mode so I assume you unlock it GT mode?

Thanks

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Some have better prize cars too.

 

[Gary Whitta]

So as a bonus for ordering from Amazon they emailed me a code for a "Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Stealth Model car." Is that worth putting in?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Just did my first "professional" race and still no qualifying. Le sigh...

 

[expy]

Any benefit to getting Gold in the licenses?

Trophies.

 

[test_account]

Sighing better prize cars too.

That you unlock more cars that you can buy or that you get free cars?

 

[TheSeks]

Oh, lord. I won a Yaris. From a B-Spec event. Thanks for nothing, PD. :|

 

[Melfice7]

That you unlock more cars that you can buy or that you get free cars?

free cars

 

[DarkJC]

what tyres does the elise have on the event? i forgot, anyway elises are known for being very tail happy but controllable too, maybe the tyres arent doing it any favours

The tires are hard comfort tires, which explains the terrible grip in the corners.

 

[flipswitch]

Would you guys regard GT5 in having the best physics engine on any system?

I absolutely love driving because of the way the cars handle.Pure awesomness.

Kaz is a masochist confirmed.

Ok, cool

physics are full of awesomeness

 

[Grayman]

haha really? I think in prologue N3 or S1 were the proper grip off the lot tires for an Elise.

Yep.

Up there with some PC sims I feel.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

What kind of sound format is PD using for GT5's music? I'm going through the music list and these sounds seem* so clear and sharp. I may just be thinking they are or something though. Example Bossanova Apollo just caught me off guard. I can listen to this stuff all day. It's like the string is guitar is right next to me.

 

[lowrider007]

Just golded the Volkswagen Top Gear event, took me a good hour of retries but I got there in the end, got out of my cheer and did a 'fuck yeah'.

 

[The Elite]

So as a bonus for ordering from Amazon they emailed me a code for a "Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Stealth Model car." Is that worth putting in?

I want to be an ass and tell you "No, give it to me" but I've heard these stealth cars are good.

 

[TTG]

so, umm.... How do I import music into the game's playlist? I don't see an option to do it anywhere. It's already on the ps3 hdd, so I got that part taken care of.
