Lemme guess how this one differs from #4:
  • Better graphics
  • Smarter AI
  • Some new game mode(s)
  • More cars
  • Better physics
  • And...uh...a SECRET CLOWN CAR
  • Also, oh, uh, Forza had that decal creating dealie, let's add that
  • Also, Props instead of Kudos, because Kudos are dumb

Just like EA Sports' offerings, these Gran Turismo/Forza/Project Gotham Racing releases are all the same, every year, with enough little things here and there to make people drop -- what is it now? $60? -- on the new release every year or two. Pictures like the one you posted, Mush, do nothing but make me wonder if there is any creativity left in SCEA with regards to the GT series. HEY, EVERYBODY'S CHASING EACH OTHER ON THE SAME PATH, LET'S HOPE SOMEONE IS BALLSY ENOUGH TO TRY AND PASS SOMEONE ELSE.

The only thing that would make this game fun is outrageous crash scenes, because, let's face it: that's what game makers are slowly starting to learn from SportsCenter. Crashes = ratings.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think the point I was trying to make was that the three games I mentioned are doing the same thing year after year, and it's annoyingly predictable, at least in my eyes. I'm not the sort for driving sims, as you can plainly tell, so I'm sorry if my post was a little more biting than one would expect.

I mean, taking each of the three newest games (GT5, PGR3 and F2), there's hardly much difference to discern from each. I suppose that could be said about any two games which are based in the same vein (take two NBA games from any particular year, for example).

There's nothing really fantastic that draws me to these games anymore. Better graphics can only do so much. Better AI, I fear, could just be a detriment to a learning curve that is already steep when you're a newbie jumping right into a game that demands a lot in terms of understanding braking, shifting, drafting, following lines, etc. The training mode that GT4 offered only goes so far if you don't have the right mind for the game.

How ya doing, buddy?

Maybe I'm just curious what keeps people coming back for more.

Or maybe I'm trolling and I just don't realize it yet (probably the latter). If so, I'll just go back to where I came from and find a mod to fix the mess I made.

I'd sure would like to know what the allure about games like these are.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
