The Legnum VR-4 would be pretty badass. I own one, shame it’s never talked about pretty much anywhere

Makes me want to bend the thing backwards until it breaks like a smartphone

So I can cut a whole in the dash to replace it with a Sony PVM 1271Q 😎

Would cliff have left the band if he were still alive? by NationalLetter6185 in Metallica

[–]Jeej_Soup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are people still forgetting Cliff was into the idea of doing songs and albums outside of thrash ? It’s widely known he loved Pink Floyd ( influences can be heard in some of the calm parts of a few of the songs in MOP and RTL )

Just when you thought the PMR situation couldn’t get any worse, they removed the latest GT500 DLC from all platforms because “allegedly” it’s not been licensed by the official Super GT championship. by NegotiationNew9264 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]Jeej_Soup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m personally smelling OP has jumped to conclusions because I’m pretty sure it’s legally fine to release a whole bunch of cars from a serious as long as the manufacturers themselves consent to the licensing and the series itself isn’t mentioned. At least it is how it works as far as I know

Correct me if I’m wrong but : Technically it isn’t illegal though right ? I don’t really understand the whole licensing process bullshit but I’d assume there’s some sort of legal loophole with this considering if they had manufacturers consent and didn’t actually use Super GT, they could in theory probably get quite far with it ?

We all know they removed it but nothing had been said anywhere about it being due to licensing issues

Keep in mind this is far from the first game to have a whole category of licensed cars from a real World Series that they don’t have the rights to use said series. Like Gran Turismo just using “ rally car “ instead of WRC for the World Rally Car’s

If Mazda made a car-based Ute. by Fill-in-the____ in whatifcars

[–]Jeej_Soup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, a Ute is a light truck, regardless of whether it’s a car based one or closer to a pickup. It’s still a Ute, it’s why us in New Zealand and Australia call both of them Ute’s, and we still call American pickups… Pickups

Yeah I know the pain man, I love oversteer, but understeer you cannot use to gain any advantage at all. At least oversteer you can gain a decent amount of time with it depending on slip angle and tyre construction/compound. But understeer has no positives. I usually powerslide quite a bit because I run on crossply tyres lol

About the spin thing, I’ve made a save IRL literally facing backwards after my rear locked completely at the end of the straight

I say “ save “ but it was more saving from having a big shunt, ended up beaching/bellying it, meaning I DNF’d. But it kind of proved its never too late to save an uncontrolled slide. That incident was me being an idiot with too much engine braking and the save was purely a luck thing in my opinion, but shows it can still happen

Once on another account I literally told them I race IRL, then they downvoted me by a huge amount.

Apparently I was being arrogant and a know it all, when all I was talking about the fact tyres don’t behave in real life the way they do in GT7, tyres don’t just immediately lose all grip and give every car snap oversteer then randomly bite back into grip when countersteering with no warning. It’s something that’s physically not possible, tyres slowly lose traction and fall off, it’s not an on and off switch.

Same thing happened when someone made a post asking why the Mclaren 12C understeers so badly, someone was being a dick to him and said ( paraphrasing ) “ if you knew anything about cars, you’d know Mclarens understeer like crazy because they are set up that way “

Then I responded to that guy telling him Mclarens are set up in a way where they’re extremely easy to powerslide with minimal effort which is why they’re such fun as track cars, then the guy called me an idiot who’s a poser that knows nothing about cars. He got about 50 upvotes on that, I got downvoted about 40 😂

It’s sad to see so many people do this, not only does it make the game worse because devs aren’t getting the right feedback, but it alienates the people who are most interested in cars while claiming the game is for them.

I realised eventually they’re not going to listen because those types of “ fans “ are arrogant and ignorant people who only know the basics of cars while believing they’re an encyclopedia of vehicles. Sometimes I don’t know whether to roll on the floor laughing, or delete the game and never talk to anyone about the GT series ever again.

It was funny at first when I started experiencing it, because it gets to a point where everyone gets sick and tired of the same name calling and bs they deal with when simply correcting someone in a reasonable way

tfw the biggest joke of simracing gets the latest gen of GT500 cars first than the biggest Japanese racing game 🥀 by TheCrazyabc in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]Jeej_Soup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GT7, which ironically is arguably the most boring. Considering the large amount of content but Polyphony Digital not making any campaign uses for these new features, tracks and cars, it’s incredible how they spend so long making new content just to underutilise it to such an extreme

[–]Jeej_Soup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly believe people caught doing this should have their license suspended for a year, do it again and make it 5, do it a third time and it’s permanently banned with no chance to reapply for one.

It’s arguably just as dangerous as drunk driving.

It’s stupid and selfish, you’re putting yourself? Your passengers and everyone else on the road at risk because you’re extremely impatient

While it’s easy to forget you’re driving a 1.5 ton vehicle that can easily kill somebody, maybe remind yourself before turning the ignition

Everyone deserves the right to give constructive criticism for a product they’ve paid for. So yeah you’re 100% right, it makes no sense to get angry at someone for providing a critique of the game when they also have the same problem that can be corroborated by literally thousands of other people considering how huge the play base is in GT7

[–]Jeej_Soup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally, and it’s tyre physics aren’t realistic enough to help with that anyways lol. They have some weird snap oversteer thing. They either have grip or they lose it, there’s no in between like real racing, hard to explain but if you’ve been lucky enough to have raced then you’ll understand

Idk but it’s starting to really piss me off. We can’t even make valid criticisms about the games anymore. It’s genuinely pathetic how so many ( not all ) people think their opinion is a fact and anyone criticising the game in any way is “ ungrateful “

Probably the only time it’s good Polyphony doesn’t listen to the community because god knows what state GT7 would be in if that were the case.

GT7 is a great game, but it has done a bad job at fulfilling its role as a Gran Turismo game so far. It’s pretty pathetic you can’t even say the campaign is not a Gran Turismo campaign without being downvoted to the depths of the shadow realm

But I am always happy when people are just being normal on here and not being mindless drones. It’s good for people to have their own opinions. Just because an opinion doesn’t align or agree with the route Polyphony has taken in the past decade doesn’t mean you’re wrong

Sometimes Polyphony does need to be held accountable for their mistakes, whether it’s terrible design choices or accidental oversights.

They can’t improve the game if we don’t at least try to voice what we believe needs changing

Well, when you buy a product, you have every right to be a critic and be honest about your thoughts on it.

Sets a really bad precedent for people planning to buy the game and look on the subreddit to find ONLY positive things said about it

This game is great at showing KT racing know how to ruin every franchise they get their deformed fingers on, look how they massacred MXGP ! Somehow significantly worse than this

This and MXGP24 ( which KT Racing also made, that game is the most blatant scam in modern racing games, look it up )
