gt5 is just really lacking. forza3 and turn10 really sat the bar with customization and just small details that polyphony didnt pay attention to. i think alot of it has to do with culture differences. polyphony is profoundly japanese and just isnt as in touch with what the western market wants and expects, while turn10 does considering its american roots. then again everyone was expecting it to be end all of driving games, which is what it was portrayed as by polyphony, but it clearly isnt.

It's a shame that they did the standard car and premium car thing. The premium cars are probably just the default Supra, Corvette Skyline, and all of those kinds of cars. I was really hoping to get an SC on there that was slammed, super wide wheels, and 1000 horsepower.
If only Midnight Club had a roster like this, plus all of the performance upgrades, we'd have the sickest racing game ever.
I might get the game for Christmas. I'll be 35 by the time Gran Turismo 6 comes out so I might was well enjoy this one
. I also need a Logitech steering wheel.

I haven't played the game yet, looking forward to it though. Am I one of the few that is glad that the "aftermarket mods" were limited?
Even in GT4 with the introduction of Japanese tuners, I was kind of iffy. I even found the addition of nitrous to be odd. Am I just one of the purest that is glad that the aftermarket world doesn't come into play and you build what you have instead of building hybrids (not the electric version) cars with engine swaps and that nature? Granted, it would be nice to build up an imaginary car according to your specs.
I see the GT series more of the purest depiction of motorsports. Manufacturers building a certain chassis with a certain power plant to qualify for their specific races. I'm sure there's a coupe of people out there that see it my way.

Just picked up GT5. I've been playing Forza for the past few weeks.
GT5 = Thumbs Down
Every single race I've played has been easy! The only reason I'm even playing this game anymore is to get the SC and delete the rest of the cars.

I guess I'll play that one instead then. You never see the SC400 in games, just the SC430 and SC300.
The more I hear about Gran Turismo 5, the more I don't want to get it.
I've heard far more negative things about the game than positive. I still want to try it out though.

If I have to swap a rb26 and an AWD drivetrain into my Nissan Versa to make competitive aganist corvettes and Vipers then why shouldnt I be able too?
In the real world, money can buy any swap, car, aftermarket part, etc. you want. So I feel like the ability to do ridiculous swaps in forza makes the game more realistic. Because if I (and probably alot of us on this forum) had unlimited money to put into cars, we would probably do some outrageous things just for the he!! of it.
Now if you want to be true to motorsports thats cool, and 100% up to you and how you play your game. But i dont think a game should limit itself just to be true to its genre.
