Nissan 370Z Forum  

What's your ranking on GT5 Demo contest?

It kinda does relate to the offline road going 370z! Check out what happened to the previous winner of the Nissan Race Academy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv5F0c-3tvA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EzMj71e5BA

I wish there was a way to weed out the kids on this forum. I am also a member of some other forums and have a pretty good sense of what is a mature forum. There are some shockers out there. This forum is generally pretty good though.

If you are referring to me I'm 23, live on my own, buying my own house. I dont think that qualifies as a kid.

No one is forcing you to post in this thread, just click a different link and post your douchebag comments elsewhere.

Also about the kids comment.. ya not so much.

Well,

What is a "kid"? I play Forza, Motorstorm, Ridge Racer, and some other racing games. I'm 58. Guess I'm guilty of being a kid at heart.

So after playing it for about 10 minutes tonight and using the ever-so-not-amazing PS3 controller to try to race, I clicked a few 1.55.xxx's off in the stock-er.. I THINK my best was 1.55.110. Not bad if I do say so myself - I havent touched GT5:P in months, at best. I'll mess around with the tuned car tomorrow.

Oh, worthy of note...anyone notice GTP_SpyHunter at position 9 or so for best combined times? Yeah, he's my friend from Omaha. I got to ride in his car at an HPDE earlier this year. That guy can f-ing drive, in real life AND in game.

so what. i have nothing against the Zed in fact someday i will own one. I just don't see the need or care about games and i do not see how they enrich this forum. Maybe this thread should be in game thread/forum. Games are for kids.
True - to some degree... but if you have lost the kid in you then I feel sorry for you. Also - I consider GT5 more of a simulator - something there to teach people who cant drive (fast) how to expect your car to handle under extreme conditions w/ limited consequences (dying battery / restarting the course)...

You can always just stay away from these threads no? I mean if you think its for kids why get in here? Its not like the people who contribute here are going to "grow" up and stop playing.

1'52.443 for untuned
1'40.492 for tuned

Those are my best times with the poopy controller right now. Maybe I'll go snag one of the G27's here before the event expires :-p

*edit*
Keep taking those times down

okay, did you guys try the option menu and change the settings for the traction? it makes a difference because default is on 7 but you can do 10. for me it was a lot easier to drive after that.

and yes, GT series needs a wheel to have a true driving experience. Forza and GT are different beast. both good, but i think when you compare them, it's like apple to oranges. just my opinion anyway.

I really don't get this douchery, if you're not into gaming why on earth would you walk into a thread, whose title clearly states it has to do with gaming, at your own freaking will and start b!tching about it? Talk to a shrink or to your boyfriend about it!! Jesus

Anyone still trying? Last night I just broke my record again and ran a 1'38.6 with the tuned car. I'm ranked 810 now.
