I scored the big winner. Collector's edition #8888. Anyone Chinese knows why that's a win ^^

specZ · 11-24-2010, 07:03 PM

this is some TOP NOTCH BS. I tried to pre order my collectors edition a month ago at best buy and couldnt as they only pre order the regular game according to them. So i stop by earlier this afternoon,and surprise surprise,all the collectors editions are sold out. I am never going to best buy for my video games.

They probably ran out of the collector's edition when you went a month ago.
I know the best buy near my house only had 16 collector's editions.

**** Xbox lmao... I say that now becuase I already beat Halo Reach and now want to play my other favorite game GT... But no ps3

I saw the trailers and this game looked awesome. Enjoy guys and gals.

Is anyone else dissapointed in this game? I'm only an hour or two in so this isn't all necessarily going to continue to be an issue but here are some things that bother me.

1: The AI - it drives its line and if your in it, too bad. It wil just run into you until your out of its way.

2: Disqualifications - Specifically the top gear test track special races. If you get slightly off course or bump another car your disqualified.

3: Stupid cars - VW Van, Toyota Prius and Nascar. WTF, who in their right mind would have any interest in racing those. Its just painful and boring.

4: Little to no feedback from the controller. Makes it really tuff to tell what your grip level is. I'm constantly understeering and oversteering because of loss of traction.

I'm hoping things get better when I get into F1 and rally. So far I have enjoyed Karting but thats about it.

Anatoray · 11-25-2010, 12:58 AM

1: The AI always has been and always will be a weak point for GT games. PD has shown no desire to make a real AI instead of its onrails racers. This can actually lead to soem laughs.

2: The DQs are annoying as well, but have also been a staple in special events. That's also how some races are in real life, so I just accept it.

3: There's always stupid cars, but I'd rather see them than 41 Skylines.

4: I haven't tried it with a controller, but the wheel provides plenty of realistic feedback.

My biggest complaint are the load times. They're pretty damn long in this game, but at least it doesn't have to reload every time you restart a race. I forget what game it was, but I remember one did, and that was a major pain.

I also don't like the way career mode navigation is done atm. I'll probably get used to it, but as is, the screen looks like a slick mess lol.

Finally, the car damage is a joke. They shouldn't have even put it in. Ramming cars at a 50+ mph differential only slightly dents your hood. You can still ride the walls, push cars out fo the way, and do every other shortcut without fear of any real penalties.

Are you using a premium car or a regular car?
Haven't even looked at the car damage myself. Been busy trying to do the Nurburgring Time Trial.

Anatoray · 11-25-2010, 02:09 AM

Premium car. Collisions feel like heavy bumper cars and produce very minimal damage. In fact, I had 3 pretty hard collisions just to see and would say it looked like i had a miner fender bender.

Xan · 11-25-2010, 02:20 AM

Bought the game, but didn't get to play yet.
I'll probably be just do some trials get some money and race online for the real fun.
Wheel should give plenty of feedback.

Super Tanooki · 11-25-2010, 05:25 AM

I got mine this morning. I love it, and of course as soon as I had enough credits I got the 370z. Strangely it comes with the Sports wheels but no spoiler, so I quickly fitted that. And some decent tires because the standard ones suck. It looks amazing in the game.

I'm kinda bummed I couldn't get a Collector's Edition though. I tried everywhere. What's the Apex book like?

Eric · 11-25-2010, 08:32 AM

I got the game as well yesterday morning. I finally got the 370Z also!

Mine has a rear spoiler.

6spd · 11-25-2010, 09:24 AM

did you have to buy that spoiler or did it come with it? the one in the dealership doesnt have one.
