Gt5

[dkwookie]

Ok I played GT 1,2,3 and 4 to death. I even put in some serious hours on the PSP version but when I slapped in GT5 after a year of BoP I reslised something. I only had one axis to think about. Left and right. No rudder or elevators or flaps to combat or landing gear, bombs, rockets, target lock or target find. I realised I don't actually like driving unless my car has elliptical wings, a merlin engine and has a host of guns attached to it so I ejected the game asap

Anyway that's my review of GT5 over. Anyone got a better one?

agreed i loved all the previous gt's but that was before bop the only other game i still play is medal of honor i played gt5 for about 2 weeks maybe it was becuase it was so hyped up but for me it just wasnt that good

personally i enjoy the variety of gt5 much better than being shot down by the same guys in the same planes all the time. Il2 for me has too many problems that rely on players carrying a certain amount of honor and adulthood to solve unfortunately not all players carry on in said fashion.
Gt5 online has private rooms and an in depth ability to customize both the setting, the rules and regulations in both private and public rooms.
The variety of vehicles is also huge there are (admittedly alot of japanese cars i had never heard of) many different types of car classes standard road cars, custom tuning company cars, full on racing modded cars, GT cars, Le mans cars, Nascars, rally cars, and even formula 1 type cars, and the various race types to go along with them combined with varying road surfaces and weather make for a very extensive racing experience. Also the fact that you can send cars to your friends to help them to do those most difficult single player races or just to help them gain a car they really want for their garage is really cool.
Then theres the b spec mode: an Ai driven driver that you can provide basic instructions to, this mode is generally most dependent on you fielding the fastest car possible for your driver or successfully managing him or her,, this mode is a good way to earn some nice cars whilst not actually playing the game, I completely twenty laps on indianapolis which reading the latest book I'm working my way through. I am greatly enjoying it, But it's nice to know you miss us all the same :grin:

i dont know you you are playing with shodow but the group i play with is great guys like parallax and the other regulars all bail and everyone gets along sounds like you need to find a better group of people to play with as for getting shot down all the time just get better:grin:lol

Hey DK

There is something about BoP, that really gets to me to.

When Red dead came out, everybody was halleluja.
Found the donkey myself, and the disk had 1 1/2 spin in my ps3, couldnt bother it with more cause it was getting used to the high quality of BoP.

Even got GT 5, or rather my boy did for X-mas, as you say it is one axis short to be fun. But as Shadow puts it, it has some good features.
I would like to have some of the GT 5 features in the BoP sequel that will be out in October :rolleyes:

+1 plus there's no mentalists on there.
Yes I miss BoP (more so the mates who play it)but sadly don't miss as shadow says the ballache of relying on everyone playing with honour and that covers everything from the crashmaster 'aces' in sim to the quitters in arcade. It's much simpler in public lobbies on GT5, you dick about you get reported and then kicked. It makes the playing experience so much more fun knowing you can rid yourselves of lunatics.
Admittedly it's a little intimidating starting with a 20k car when there's Enzos etc to
be had but a little effort brings huge reward.
As for lack of axis, how little you guys know!!!! I've had my Redbull X1 flying over the nurburgring- plus it's as quick as a spit in BoP!!!

[dkwookie]

I think I should give it another shot on GT5. The lobby system is very good and deffo would be nice to have that set up on BoP.

I would mate, as I've said before I think it's the people you play with that make it. We've had some great private lobbies the past few nights we've even got rat now braking and turning right!!!

Oooo yea
The Cobra with military lazers..........

What guns are there in GT5 ?

[McQ59]

The gratest game I ever played was that against my late wife. As I recall it, it was called "Love&War - How to kill slow&silently". No rules, no boundaries and great sex.

(I welcome all good mates and pilots back from GT5. Let's rock the skies!).

Whats needed is a GT5: BoP add on that let's us set up a vs match. 6 GT5ers in Enzos try to complete 1 lap of the Nurburgring while 6 BoPers in Spits try to strafe them. No bombs or rockets allowed

Yes wookie, my feelings exactly. It's a good game, but BOP has opened up another dimension.

That one is brilliant Gilly. Elise would be no match for the Spit though.

How about taking a Corvette for a spin?

a lot you people on here are complaining about players that crash or this or that and say they like gt 5 cause they can set the rules to exactly how they like it really makes me wonder who you guys play with in arcade yes they all suck but in realistic i never have a problem and if they are crashers just flame them its not that hard in realistic anyway in sim i dont know but the times i have played it everyone was cool i dont see the problems with idiots that you are talking about except in arcade of corse just my opinion i for one am very glad il2 does not have the ability to kick players if it did i would never find a game i get blocked enough for winning especialy in arcade realistic is not so bad
