Gran Turismo 5 Anyone?
Like the title says, who's got it and why aren't we racing? Cyclecam212 is my PSN handle. @rojoracing53 has a trick steering wheel set up and he plays too. I'm sure you can guess his handle too...
I mostly enjoy racing the race cars on the circuits but it would be nice to get some rally races going and have an unofficial ninjette gt5 league. Maybe set up a weekly series where we set some basic parameters and you build the best run what ya brung car. I have other racing games but gt5 has been kinda the end all be all game for me. Plus I figured none of y'all would want to play sbk x with me hahaha. |

Damn! I wish I still had GT5... hmmm... No no, I mustn't spend money on video games for systems that will soon be last gen...
And yes. I love Forza and GT... but while I think GT is the better game, I have way more fun playing Forza!

GT5 is easily my favorite racing game of all time. I bought myself a G27 and one of those fancy racing cockpits which now takes up most of my gaming room floor...
I've not played it since I moved a few months ago, but I'd be game to put it all back together for some friendly clean racing. https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt5/user/nathanuc1988/ Note, need to log in to view profiles.

Haha. When Forza first came out I stopped with the gt series. The Forza series has such a good handling model that I couldn't enjoy gran turismo at all. Of course the damage modeling along with the modifications were a nice touch. I got tired of my xboxs blowing up a month after the warranty was up and recently bought a ps3. I was pleasantly surprised by gt5. The tire modeling feels much better and the cars handling is in the right ball park. Weight transfer is in gt5. Usually that's only in computer race sims haha.
I always notice stuff like that in car games because I used to be a total car nerd. |

As much as I make fun of it I do screw around with the drifting thing. I would upload a video if I could strip it off the game. |

I think in GT5, the first time I drove the X2010 I had very VERY similar feelings to when I first opened the throttle on my zx6r. It's just that oh oka...OMGGGGGGGGGGGG feeling.

The drifting thing you throw front and rear tires on comfort hard and go to autumn ring mini. Practice forever lol.
That stupid redbull 2010 thing. The only redeeming quality about that car is it makes driving the f1 cars feel normal haha |

i was big into GT1-GT3 and in GT3 i had 90% completion.
Picked up GT5 just earlier this year cuz i was itching for a racing game and my love of the series. I don't know if i just didn't set the settings correctly but i found the standard races (the same cups ect... that the old games used to have) to easy. I remember in GT3 at my peak i could compete in some of the higher races with inferior cars, but then their would be some cups and series i would just have to bite the bullet and race with a more fitting car. I did not find that so much so in this game. I won the majority of races with a Civic type R and higher level ones with a Lotus in about the first 2 weeks. Then once i realized you get tons of money for these special events races it made the game even easier, 1 easy race and you get tons of Cr. And the tires, other than endoro's i never had to pit despite running race tires? could never figure out how that worked. In GT3 if you ran race tires you would have to pit around ever 5 laps or so of a track other wise the car would become undriveable. I never found this to be the case Not interested in the races where you "coach" the driver.... i got better things to do Over all i like the game, tons of cars, great graphics but the average difficulty of the offline races is to low and not difficult enough other than a handful of stupid events that start you last in a pack of 8 and you have 2-3 laps to get first Never raced against other people though, guess that could be fun, but mostly online people annoy me. |

It's a crying shame that they didnt include any of the newer gen mustangs as a premium car that anyone would want to use. Not even a cobra r or a touring race car. I remember you posting something about mustangs and yesterday I saw the funniest thing, or sad depending on how you feel about tattoos. A guy in the classroom portion of the msf straight up had a red white and blue 5.0 tat on his arm.... Just by judging the book by the cover I know he was thinking the old 302 lol.

I played the **** out of GT and GT2 (all golds in license tests) and just recently picked up GT5 XL Edition and just couldn't get into it. I'm more of a Forza fan when it comes to racing sims.
