Even the appeal of the first wore off on me after a few months, but it was a fun few months while it lasted.
Dude...look at all the games you buy at Circuit City. GT is better than 95% of those.
I haven't played many of those CC games, since they're ebay fodder. And that was NINE MONTHS AGO for God's sake. Even though it is oh so fun to get badgered time and time again for having a different opinion than some, it gets old pretty quickly.
What's the matter Jeremy? You're 2 legit 2 quit.Quote:

When I had to play Gran Turismo 4, I was exepecting to be bored because my last experience iwth the series (about 30 minutes with GT3) bored me. But playing Gran Turismo 4 totally made me remember why I love the games. The amount of driving technique required to excel in GT is way above any other console street racer. And while I remembered Gran Turismo being super sluggish from my brief play with GT3, Gran Turismo 4 actually turned out to be a wickedly fast game. Possibly the fastest street racing game I've played, and with the sound and shaking effects it even feels faster than stuff like Wipeout and F-Zero.
Gran Turismo 4 feels so amazingly good to drive when you've got a powerful vehicle on an awesome course like Nurburgring or Citta di Aria. It is anything but boring.
Well, that makes me want to go out and rent GT 4, to see if it remedies some of the issues I have with the previous games. If the racing is exciting, it probably will. The potential for it is certainly there.
Because for the most part, you have no opinions, but rather form opinoins to coincide with the majority.Quote:

GT4 is midly entertaining when playing with the specifically designed wheel, but GT needs to lose the license test and the god awful boring car specific circuits.
A few car specific circuits are ok, providing its with cars someone gives a damn about. No one wants to race the VW beetle series or the mini cooper, neon, crap car that someone working part-time at a gas station can afford.
Games are meant to give us a blend of fantasy and occasionally some reality thrown in but don't give us the boring elements of reality. I could care less what it feels like to race my work car on Laguna Seca for 5 laps let alone 60.
If I dont' play these races, my completion % of GT4 would be 10% if I was lucky.
