gran turismo 5- a game that most of us have been waiting for.. and waiting for.. and waiting.. you get my point, so i wont even get into my anger with that subject(btw i ended up getting an xbox to play forza just because i was that tired of waiting).
well, i just looked an official car list, and i dont think i have ever seen more of a joke in my life. idk where to even begin. lets just say, there are more honda civics and s2000's than there are chevy's and dodge's combined. bullsxxx? hell yea its bullsxxx. they brag and brag on every game about how many cars they have and shxx, and most of them are all the same damn car, just a couple years difference. shit tons of civics, skylines, rx7's, nsx's, all that japanese shxx. i do agree that they all deserve their place in the game of course, but the shxx is rediculous. the next thing that really got under my skin- THERES A FreaKING HONDA ODYSSEY on the list. are they freackin serious? a mini van on a "true racing game". darn that. and thats not even it. there are honda elements, toyota prius's, all that hybrid girly car bullcrap. cars that belong absolutely nowhere near a race track. it is seriously a joke. i was actually gettin pretty pumped about this game but ill be damned if im gonna buy it after what i just read. if my parents wanna get it for christmas then fine, but they aint gettin my money. and i hope to goodness this was just a mistake, but, nowhere in the list did i see a C6R. i will throw that freakin disc in the woods if that car is not on the game. if there is any company out there that wants to make a "true racing experience", then leave all that dumb bullcrap out of it and concentrate on REAL sports cars. a honda civic is a ricer, i dont care what anybody says, it is a front wheel drive peice of poo gas sipper that is not made for racing. if they want it on the game then whatever, but dont put 20 of them girly cars on it. oh yea and do yall remember on GT4, there were cars you won that you couldnt even drive?? like that damn NIKE car and that carriage thing that would go exactly 1 mph? freakin hilarious. lets see how many will be on GT5.
i really felt the need to share this with all the rest of you car guys, i couldnt sit still i was so pissed. any comments you would like to make would be appreciated. thanks for listening to me rant about a video game lol

whoa buddy! dont down the honda's they might not be a pure race car but they are a great way to get into motorsports as a starter car if your racing scca club racing or solo events or doing some four cylinder racing at your local short track oval. not everyone can afford a corvette.

Yeah that's funny. My opinion of the game is pretty simple. It took them 5 years to develop a game that looks better than anything graphically simply because they decided to not make damage modeling for the cars to make it real. Instead of spending so much time creating 20 Honda Civics and 18 different Skylines, and damn VW buses that take 15 seconds to get to 45 MPH, they should have focused on making a car that when you smash a wall or hit the car in front of you your car gets damage. All cars not just a select few 'premium' cars. That's premium crap. I like the game it looks amazing but that will wear thin real quick. If I can't race a driving sim and pay a price for a crash then to me it's not for me. I was a Gran Turismo faithful! I was only on Forza cause GT took so long. Well, their super long delay to deliver a non driving simulator but an arcade game that looks good, has good physics and that's it. I got it on release day and have played it for maybe 4 hours. When GT4 came out I took 3 days off work and was on that damn game like a zombie.
Well, looks like you guys got me around for a while!

@pred
ehh. In terms of damage, i would much rather have none like in GT5 over the inconsistency we get in Forza 3.

Please not to start a debate. But that is silly to me Chenstrap. No damage for a racing game is like a First person shooter with bullets that don't kill. umm almost worthless. Forza has a damn good game here. Yes it's flawed but it's nice.

Oh trust me i dont disagree with forza being a good game. But im pretty sure we all have had the exerience where we barely tap the car in front of us and get 10% damage all around. Ive also has moments where i was shocked i got no damage (watch the first lap of the Sebring race from season 3 when i spin.) In all honesty, GT5 does some good because of the fact that they dont have issues with consistency. When you barely tap someone you dont get punished, and you shouldnt. But if you make a major mistake, you still get punished based on the fact that you lose time.
EDIT: and trust me, id love damage if it was consistent. but it isnt in Forza. At least GT5s system is consistent.

I don't know how you call no damage consistent. Well, actually I do because if you get no damage you can go full tilt smash the car in front lose just a bit of time in the collision then carry on with consistency. Yes Forza can be odd with the damage sometimes and how it over compensates many times when it should be no damage or two cars barely touch and the cars do the Shaq flop. Ok, no more debate please.
