Gran Turismo: When I started the series I was a child who only played GTA and NFS games so when I got my hands on my first GT game on the PSP I was playing without using the brakes at all and never won a race. The cars also felt really heavy. I thought the gameplay was terrible and gave up. Gran Turismo 6 brought me back into the mould as I was looking for a content rich racing game on PS3 and marvelled at its huge content. I got it and got hooked and played it for two years. Now its my favourite racing game series and one of my favourite game series.

Similar story for me. I liked arcade racers so I gave GT3 a try on my PS2. I had no understanding of braking and apex, so I'd always struggle and eventually gave up. I gave the series another try with GT5 and have been hooked since.

That's probably the reason many people here don't like racing sims because they don't like using the brakes and learning the ins and outs of different cars and tracks. They are also the ones to complain that racing games are boring and lack depth. Racing sims have the deepest gameplay of any genre in gaming. It requires learning though but people just want to have fun the moment they get their hands on a controller.
