So I saved the 30 Lap endurance for tonight, as a last bit of enjoyment until the wait for the full release and VR. Going incredible, I have a 7+ second lead over T. Simon in lap 27. I set new marks for fast laps in 28 and 29 and somehow he has closed the gap, and now sits right on my tail. Go into turn 4 on the final lap and he cuts it inside, and rides my right rear quarter panel until he spins me out into the wall, and finally coming to a stop at nose first into the green barricade on the right. I have to back up and get going again. Ended up finishing 14 seconds behind in 1:03.59.
Still really enjoyed the rest of the race, but this kind of crap is not something I wanted from GT. It is like I am playing Motorstorm with how bad the rubberbanding is happening. I have no doubt this is going to be the case for the rest of the Campaign, and as I said before, I see this becoming a serious grind.
I have not touched the Sport mode, but I am hoping as I raise my ratings, I will be able to get into non bumper car races, and not have to deal with the A.I. after I complete the rest of the challanges.
Aside from this issue, I am very happy with what we have here. I still think that a racing sim on the TV is an outdated expereince, but it still does have its charms. I see myself spending a lot of time with this game regaurdless. Really looking forward to the VR Tour, and can't wait to see new tracks and cars added each month.
Now the wait for the 17th:(
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
