Maybe GT needs a lot of patience and time to enjoy... and most of people just want a Arcade race.

I haven't played it yet, but is it really that lame? I've heard some complaining about it in GTplanet as well. I have to admit, it's the event I'm least looking forward from the list, by presentation alone.

Can't you spend you time and efforts on something you actually like, rather than something you don't.  Or is your life really that pathetic?

Go Karts lol

If you have something additional its better then not having it at all. Whats the problem with Go Karts ? It offers more then any other racing game and still people complain about the fact that its only a Sim Racers.

And the selection. Maybe they actually like those cars you mentioned all of those cars are Cult Cars. A lot of people like them a lot. From a design standpoint I could understand that its more interresting to design a Schwimmwagen then a Veyron. Sportscars have to be very similar from their shape to offer the least resistance maybe its more boring. Maybe there are other problems it was planned but they werent able to finish it in time ?

But another possibilty is that they can sell in future packages of the newest cars as DLC. And so they dont include already everything in the main game.

How is the slipstream with them? With their shape, the aerodynamics must really be sucky. Since the top gear track is prime to some slipstreaming, it's seems a shame to reduce the initial experience in it due to the severe limitations of the VW Sambabus.

This is what GT is about, breadth. People who buy GT want to be able to soup up standard cars with turbo upgrades and racing tires as well as access to a plethorea of sports cars and supercars. If you want only Ferrari's, Lambo's and ridiculous unrealistic racing on thirteen on the dozen tracks (seriously, the amount of variaton between Underground 1 and 2, Carbon and Most Wanted is... extremely low to say the least), try Need for Speed or something.

Edit; yes, I played the Sambabus event today, it was boring as fuck but I got through it. This one thing does not make it a bad game though, I think people are looking hard for reasons to hate on this. Some people just don't understand what GT is about.

Is there anything PS fans don't bitch and whine about? You guys do it to all PS3 exclusives, I had to sit through this with Killzone 2, LBP, Uncharted, Mod Racer,  Heavy Rain,  heavenly sword, all of them.

I know NSMB, Forza, Halo, they all have their flaws, but their fans never bitch about as much you guys do it. Stop wanting every Sony game to be the best game ever, stop watching for theses games to all be 9's and 10's in metacritic.

A game got 8.5 and it feels like this is the worst game ever made. This is seriously getting out of control, because you can't go around talking shit about Forza 3 doesnt make GT5 bad, jeez.

GT always had lame and boring races, right beside the amazing fast and fun ones.

I can't remember exactly which ones, but GT3 had some pretty terrible races.

Basically take  a family car out for a spin and try to get 1st place.

Its nothing new, why complain about it?

Damn, that makes me kinda worried about how difficult the Professional event must be then (I'm guessing that it has the same event partition as the Kart event, as it's the only one i've done so far).

I get annoyed sometimes in the special events and licenses when the penalties are so inconsistent. Sometimes a mere bump in the rear or side of an opponent disqualifies you and other times you ram them with an enormous thud at high speed when braking into a corner and nothing happens! The worst one thus far was the last test in the iC license (at least I think it was) when you drive an old Ferrari against a field of old European sports cars.
