really wish PD would let us edit the activity log

Time trials doesnt refresh ucd. 2 time trials with evo on 200% is 2m. And you still have your days left, any 650pp race will net you more than enough even if you don't get 1st

It will always start a new game when switching disc from r3 to r1 and vice versa I think. Even the game data would have to be redownload for separate regions.

Think the DLC can be shared on same ps3 between different region psn though have to reconfirm. With download of family pack or something.

Doesn't SV only have their decals at the bottom of door? Very unlike Lamborghini to be so flashy and crude to stick such a huge ass sticker.

Added on May 13, 2012, 3:43 pmQuick question for the great drivers in here.

Is it possible to get gold in beginner rally gravel using a stock delta hf evo? If no, what other cars can be used stock with a good chance for gold?

Prefer stock car, with a true rally heritage and premium only.

Prizes only given out after 8 weeks when the events have ended. And loving the leaf, jet plane sound lulz

Incorrect. I race like AI, following a strict racing line an disregarding all other cars around lulz

Sadly, my save account pre spec2 has been deleted. Hoping question starter doesn't have the same problem.

Sometimes, GT5 can feel like the most frustrating game ever. Even now it's still an incomplete game riddled with bugs. Too much ambition, too little time.

Still waiting for my a4 touring car in premium.

Yeah, like there's a lot of features but they somehow fail to gel into one complete seamless experience. You have odd things like standard cars, imbalanced experience and credit system and so forth. Just feels very half baked to me, compared to previous GT's.

Ok, for example the logs. Wins in 1 chanpionship only counts as 1 win regardless of the number of races. Mileage record doesn't tally most times. It's little stuff like this that make it annoying. You end up wondering why it's there in the first place.

What I'm saying is, kazu does have a clear vision of how gt5 should be like. But in the end, he ran out of time and we now have all these pieces that don't really fit. There is no overall cohesion to gt5, as there was in all the previous GT's where every race is a continuation of the previous.

In gt5, every race is individual and unrelated to the other, there's no career mode to speak of. Ends up we just do the races to get completion %.

I guess what I'm saying is there's just a ton of things in GT5 that feels like they were meant for...a more cohesive whole. As in, a proper career mode. Previous GT's had quite a clear A to Z point, whereas GT5 feels like a bunch of races mixed together, with features for god knows what thrown in. There's not much feeling of progression in GT5, just endless grinding whereas for other GT's, you can feel a sense of achievement after graduating from Sunday Cup to Clubman for instance. Hope you know what I mean.

If Kaz wanted a career mode in GT5, he didn't manage to complete it. If he wanted a straight on race game, he got it but why throw in all the pieces that don't belong.

GT5=hofgepodge.

GT5 isn't supposed to be like the GT's before in terms of career mode. It isn't meant to be GT4 HD. Kaz had a much bigger vision for GT5 apparently, evidenced by the pieces that won't make sense in GT5 UNLESS connected by missing features. For now, online is not seamless with offline, a lot of things feels tacked on won't you agree?

On its own as a standalone car simulation, GT5 is superior to everything else. I can't ask for more in those terms. But as a complete package, GT5 lacks in a lot of areas.

In the end, what I'm saying is I wished Kaz has been allowed to complete his vision instead of this "compromise" we call GT5.

You are right on one thing. There is hardly a feeling so satisfying as driving in cockpit view in the pouring rain through the green hell, at night. However, there is much more to GT than that. It is the history of the automobile, a celebration of these machines.

I wouldn't mind if it was just maybe an online game, where we create our own leagues and rules to replicate real life tournaments actually. In fact, I would much prefer GT to be just the platform, where we are provided the cars and tracks to do as we please.

Instead of the half arsed career mode where it forces you to grind repeatedly with no joy to achieve level 40 or something. A driving RPG? Really? And let's not get started on Bspec.

Added on May 13, 2012, 10:15 pmCheck the code at the bottom of the case spine. BLUS is R1 (usually with the globe above), BLAS is R3 (no globe above). No idea on r2.

My first GT Proper was the one where you can race modify your cars, GT3 was it? The calsonic skyline, oh how I loved that car.

Sometimes when I play GT I really wished to be immersed completely in it. With actual rules, and everything. A real simulator. Instead, I get robot Jeff Gordon lulz

No PC. And I still want to believe in kazu's vision. This man brought the joy of automobiles to countless lives.

You have a point about catering to the casuals. That is one of the reasons GT is currently so messed IMO. Instead of figuring out how to separate the 2, GT5 became a mix and match. Compromise, hence a pain to the purists.

BTW, how do you mean tone down the seasonals? The AI is already dumb as it is. My only problem lies in the reward scheme, which rendered all other game modes irrelevant.

Your disc is r3, you can use DLC from r3 regardless of psn account methinks.

Added on May 13, 2012, 11:13 pmI'm far from a good driver, but I really enjoyed those seasonals. Fiat 500 on trial mountain, lulz. The sense of achievement is great.

It's too bad most casuals want to go the easy route instead of earning their way. That's probably why I can't even trade cars above 1m ffuuuuuu

Which car you want? Aventador car pack3, spa track pack 1. This 2 the most worth I think

I really hate the robots in the stands cheering me on, when im in like last place. Feels like falcon punch my lcd

What prizes for r3 and r4?

Also, any download needed and size? Noticed r3 uses r34 vspec, is this a new premium or the nur version?

Very nice. Nissan garage in academy version.

Curious about the racing suit though, hope it's just like the real gt academy ones.

Hi, I got a quick question regarding DLC. Paint pack and race gear pack in specific.

I have downloaded the paint pack and race gear pack to my current save. Also, race car pack and car pack 2. My question is, if I start a new save would I be able to redownload these DLC to my new save? Would I still be able to install them in the DLC section on GT5 main menu? Or would they say "Installed" and I have to repurchase the paint pack and so forth?

Thanks for the answers!
