Gamereactor are bashing the hell out of GT5. For instance, they are making comparisons between Forza 3 & GT5. Where GT5 won by "a hair straw" WTF...

 

Now they did one on GT5 vs Shift.

 

And on top of that, they're writing in a way like =
"We put EA's Semi-simulator against Sony's eternity project"

Why not just say a simulator? They must really hate it.

And some people send questions for them to answer and one of them said :
"What good simulators are there on PS3?"

and the answer from the reviewer who gave it a 7 said :
"Need for Speed Shift is better than GT5." and more yada yada yada.

 

Everyone else is claiming its the best simulator so what the fuck.

I've got nothing against the opinion of Gamereactor, but to call Need for Speed Shift a simulator, I think they better redefine what a simulator means for them.

some people never really liked simulator racing game and always preferred arcade racer

those people are the ones hating GT5 right now

Nothing wrong with that, I love both (Simulation far more than Arcade though), and I can play both NFS/Burnout and GT5/Forza/iRacing/GTR-2/Gran Prix Legends, knowing fully how to separate the genres and what to expect from each game.

The problem is, that kind of mentality is dissolving fast in the industry though. It's all becoming "Either you do it the way I like it, or it sucks".
