official Gran Turismo 5

and also :rofl: kaz proved that almost no one reviewed this game properly.

From what I have seen, he has just proven that they missed the damage progression. Wouldn't change a review score by more than a .1 if anything though.

Which starts happening at level 20, hardly that far into the game considering the maximum level is 40+.

i think it would do more then that. because if we are comparing this game to forza (which obviously we are) and none of the reviewers saw the realistic crash damage that is going to effect the score quite a bit becuase forza does do a really good job of it.

Got gold today on the Top Gear Elise challenge, had to use assists. Everything ON. TC at 5 and ABS at 1. Using the Dualshock 3 Controller. :whistle:

I am at level 12 and I get damage.

[MightyJordan]

I am at level 12 and I get damage.

Which races are you doing? I'm at level 16, and I haven't seen a single bit of damage yet.

[TDQuiksilver]

Maybe you're better than you thought?

[rajputwarrior]

I am at level 12 and I get damage.

really? i'm at 16 too and haven't seen anything...

but just for fun, imm go with TDQuicksilver's explanation :cool:

[Corris Veteran]

I'm 15 and I've seen damage, not anything drastic, but it's there.

To repair my GT-R is tens of thousands at the moment, lol.

[MightyJordan]

Is there any way to seek through replays? I can't find any option to fast-forward or rewind, which is seriously annoying. :pinch:

It must be level 10 then, not 20.

And yeah cost is why it's said damage is incremental. If it was full blown at level 1 you'd be unable to play the game due to damage costs occurred in learning to drive your cars with the new physics :p

There be no rewind feature or automatic braking in GT5!

[Massiveterra]

So the game not explaining anything about damage is supposed to be a good thing?

easter egg..?

[carmatic]

easter egg..?

this does not fit the definition of an easter egg because it is a major and integral part of the game

You know what I find funny in Photomode? If you are in a standard car, you only zoom in only so much to the car, or the camera will tell you to go back furthur lol. Oh.. PD.. you should've just remodeled those cars.

[MightyJordan]

Just checked the used car dealership again, and Jay Leno's Tank Car just showed up. :p Unfortunately, it costs nearly 4 million credits, and I've only got 160k. :(

Does anyone have a good resource online of just the best overall approach to things?

For example I am going through be A-Spec Beginner races still, and I am now at a point I need certain cars for certain events. So I am wondering if I need to purchase them, or go do some license tests to get the cars, etc.

For the first time in a long time I actually looked up an official strategy guide, was going to pick one up from Amazon with the credit I received for purchasing GT5 from them, but I do not see any official guide that is released for everything. The only thing out there is some track guide, which is not what I need.

I've found the best way to quickly earn money and level up (if that's what you want to do) is run the special events. You get a LOT more XP and cash for those, than starting in the A spec beginner championships.

You can buy any car that has those kind of requirements. Say if it's an FR challenge, just go through your list (if you have any FR cars) and if you don't, you can buy one at the Dealership or at the used car lot. So far license test didn't get me any cars.. only the A-Spec races do.

Sorry for the double post, just had to make a couple of points:

- I just finished the World Championship in the professional series. Haven't finished a lot of the lower ones yet but I like to mix it up a bit. The weird thing is after completing that you get shown the ending credits... Considering I've probably not even scratched the surface in terms of % completion, it seems a bit weird to me!

- Possible spoiler:

I got the Bugatti Veyron for completing the world championship. It's not even a Premium car!

wtf is with that?!

maybe just that one isn't? No way they made the worlds fastest production car and an car engineers wet dream a standard car...
