Gt sport half price....worth it?

hylian_elf

Forza 7 better according to Edge, maybe get that? Game have it at £30 I think.

Eric

Possibly. The driving is great and weighty but the single player mode is an absolute joke. Basically a load of license tests and a half baked arcade mode. Online which I don't have access to offers you three tracks at a time on rotation.

To me it's like GT5 prologue how they justfied a full price release I don't know but for a chalice it's at least worth it for the handling and lighting model. It's crying out for a TT competition but think there's only Bob, Birdorf and I that have it.

Bob

The online is also really annoying so it's a no from me.

Birdorf

Yeah, I dropped it after about 3 weeks, no voice chat in multiplayer was the final straw.

So in the end went for LiS Prequel, Lost Legacy and godhelpmebutilovetheuniverse Mass Effect Andromeda. Thanks to a canny purchase of a £40 card from CD Keys (pay by Apple Pay and get 5% off) I got all three for around £40.

Lost Legacy is super tempting at 20euro......

Is it not just everyone using party chat maybe?

Im mainly interested just for driving round the nurburgring in vr in a few diffrent cars.

Bob

It's less of a concern than netcode that allows people in identical cars to just pull away from
Me on a rolling start

And an aggression rating system that allows people to punt you off since they have since time began at ten first corner and then down rank you

Birdorf

Voice chat has just been left out, apparently.

I did really enjoy what little single player stuff there is, so I reckon you'd enjoy pootling in VR, although I've read that it's quite limited.

digi

Cheers birdo i think thats a buy.

Eric

I think in VR it would be worth the £20 especially if you hammer it and sell it on.

Im all digital pal.
Think iv possibly already had my moneys worth and im rather enjoying it.
(nurburgring is locked till level 20 though)

I still try to drop in daily to get some times up for the 3 daily races and treat it as a nice time trial with a loot drop spin at the end.
I strangely haven't been actually racing much though but did enjoy the nice pressure of having to race properly. Drive off the track if you've overcooked a corner, treat your car as a 'real' car etc etc.
It's not for everyone for sure but I still very much like it.

The VR is just the one on one cpu Vs event thing but the actual cars and tracks do look lovely. My nephews had a reet blast with the wheel setup.

Have the lunatics and casuals fucked off yet?

isanbard

No idea. Like I say I tend to just use it as a time trial and just post the qually times for the dailies.

I'm still e race and b ..err.. that other stat so I think I might be match made with less of the daft first corner aholes and still get a lot of ghost cars enabled nice and quick.

I was very mindful of staying out of any crashing at all mind. If I qualified in 10th then I'd expect to possibly finish about 10th on a good day if I didn't cock it up. If the numpty ahead of me was going for every last inside corner late breaking charge to 1st place and ping ponging along then it's just a case of stay back and wait it out to the easy, obvious pass inevitably comes up.
I don't remember being tapped that much from behind either? Staying up to speed and keeping an eye on mirrors helped maybe? Dunno.
Like I say, I just tried to prioritise human/car safety above race position really.

There is, on the front page.

Very tempted to get this now. This is the GT I oddly love.

Desktop only I think. See if there’s a link in the footer to switch to desktop view

Nah, it’s on phone too, spoke to customer support, and it turned out they’d temporarily disabled it. I bought £35 of PSN credit for £30.30 (already discounted plus 5% facebook like discount). I then tried to repeat that, using the facebook code again, which now didn’t work BUT Apple Pay now was, so I used that 5% instead.

So, £70 of credit for £60.60.

(I bought U:LL, Tekken 7, For Honor and both the Witcher 3 expansion passes. I have a fucking problem.)

I bet you are great fun at parties.

Next time your short a tenner let me know.

[Deleted User]

Out of interest, so I know not to offend in future, what’s the difference between my post, b0r1s’s post, and any one of the thousands of similar posts made on our various forums that warranted your post?

b0r1s

@Andy good that it works on mobile. I was only on laptop as I was at work. Usually buy on my phone. I was tempted by Witcher III Gold Edition but I’ve hardly touched the disk version I own of the basic game

Bob

@Andy yours made me laugh.

wonderbanana

Soooo...

Whats the must haves on this?

I particularly like shmups, good story based games (like Tomb Raider), ravers, and old skool Sega type stuff.

FranticPea

I like ravers too, especially old skool.

Howdy, Stranger!
