Hey Gran Turismo....

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Also, the microtransactions in GT6 were hidden in some menu no one would use. You could play through the entire game not even knowing it was possible to buy cash. I don't really have a problem with that.

Half the trout I wanted in the game they wanted me to pay for. /shrug

I was not pleased. I didn't put a 1/6th of the time into GT5 as I had the previous entries and I didn't even bother with 6.

Forza isn't perfect, but it's really been knocking Gran Turismo around IMO.

EDIT: And I agree that we don't need 45 versions of the same car. An example of each generation car, and perhaps a few special models different enough to be different (no special models that only had paint and body kits), need apply.

An example:
My mother has an 8th Gen Mugen Honda Civic Si. It has much lighter (and obnoxiously expensive) Ray's Engineering Volk wheels made special for Mugen, a Mugen body kit, a more track oriented suspension package with all types of Mugen badging, a higher flowing Mugen exhaust system, and a unique paint color. Some other little odds and ends. It's a neat package, they only made around 1,000 total, and it's a blast to drive.

It's straight line performance isn't all that much greater around the track than the standard Honda Civic Si of that generation though. It's quicker, but probably not by a big enough margin to make a difference. Since everyone in the game is going to buy obscenely expensive wheels, an exhaust system, and all that other stuff they'll basically wind up making the Mugen Si anyway.

It's not different enough performance wise to warrant appearing in the game outside of the fact that it was rare.

Now maybe if they'd made a Civic with a the J series V6 or something. Or something obvious like the Civic BTCC race car. Certainly those would be worth considering.
