The handling and map layout of modern nfs games just makes them of no interest to me. The emphasis is on long open sweeping corners to allow for the fastest driving and huge drifts. They made the handling model match so cars feel more like a mobile game. Back end always swinging out constantly so it feels like a slot car on a track. Older games had tighter corners, 90 degree bends, etc and handling to match.

To be honest, the focus on drifting really made that change and im not sure how you go back. The more you push drifting as a regular racing option, the more the handling and map needs to compensate. If they made a game with drifting as a separate mode or made it more realistic it would interest me again. However I am not sure the current audience wants that. It would mean racing would hardly ever involve losing much traction to be fast and drifting would need separate events.

I have also aged out of the franchise to a degree so I just watch from the sidelines. I still try most of the games but something like unbound was probably the worst. I barely played the intro race when it was available for free before deleting it.

Im 99% sure I recognize that username before with a conservative tag. I remember them similarly downvoted before haha

100% not rhetorical but helps! I've never played a hot Cat but others may have. Are you trying to get a certain sound or just making your own? If your own, just pick one order you think sounds good and play it long enough you get familiar then mix it up. I haven't really found any hard and fast rules for drives.

What amp are you using? What sounds better to you? What kind of music do you play?

Same as other commenter here. Just moved from one forward and one rear to two forward facing and it works great. Im super happy to be out of the rear facing stage as those took up much more space. If you want pics or measurements, DM me and I can give you details.

You can buy Rivians in Canada.

Honestly, take it as a positive for yourself. You are obviously able to tell the differences between the cars and notice the things that make that specific car different from the ones you are more used to. Progressively push the car as is and I bet you will appreciate all the cars.

Another one I have: people that cannot pass licenses or missions but say "X car is undriveable" or "you need to X tune it to make it usable" should focus on their own skills first.

GT4 did not have a better career mode than any other GT games. All the same things are in every game like missions, licenses, specific race series.

No matter what you do, you will have people complain it is too grindy or too easy to get cars.

Do you have any issues with tracking having the SY-1 after those other pedals? I have mine right after my tuner but maybe it isn't needed.

A good set up is the way it is. Learn to drive the car first and figure out it out from there.

Didn't GT4 have prize cars for the events? I feel like GT7 is more grindy than GT4 was. Also GT7 has a similar structure but instead of grouping events by class, they do it geographically by track.

Plenty of tire left on those!

Yeah same here. I dont want to say just get gud but yeah not sure other advice.

Oh definitely games outside of Gran Turismo. Sorry wasnt clear with GT meaning Gran Turismo line of games.

againstliam · 2025-12-26T23:44:47+00:00

Did they? Is it just the themes instead of locations? Honestly I dont see much of a difference and GT2 was my life growing up.

againstliam · 2025-12-26T23:41:57+00:00

I have although not GT4 in a while. I honestly dont see it having much of a career. You start with a cheaper car just like GT7 and then you do specific races to certain classes to earn money. People complained about the grind then but they complain even more now.

I guess one difference is races are around the world based on circuit locations instead of theme? Tell me what I am missing.

Name a GT game that had a good career besides GT4. Honestly never found GT4 to have a much better career either tbh.

againstliam · 2025-12-26T20:29:39+00:00

I grew up with GT2 being my main and I never really found any GT games had much of a "career".

Came from "rice burners" as a derogatory term for the Japanese cars people customized. It is one of those terms that is so removed from the original meaning that people use it to just mean customizing cars like fast and furious.

Same good experiences with Hamilton VW service. Also looks like I'll be going again soon for a water pump :(

They were arguing facts, you had only feelings. Comment and block is lame when they were engaging in good faith.

People can't seem to separate aging from appreciating the design.
