I have to be honest and say that I am finding GT5 a bit dull.. To be honest, after Prologue and the the Acadamy download last year, I was a bit bored and didn't think I would buy it.. But I managed to get my copy from PCWorld for £19 and it was too good a deal to miss.
I have played it for a few hours and I have to say that for me, I am finding it terminly boring. Its not just the game.. Its the GUI and the 'Jazz' which gets under my skin.. I really can't be bothered to play it, as its probably a great game.. But for me, I just think that racing games have moved on...
And before I continue, please don't take offence by this.. If you like GT5 then please just accept that this is my opinion.. I can see why people like it, but its just not for me..
Anyway.. I want to give Online a bash.. .I eventually tracked down the 'button' to get in and then got hit by a list of lobbies.. I selected one and found that everyone had powerful cars (the F40 springs to mine).. But I had nothing.
And at that point I got a bit lost.. .Do I need to 'buy' a car to compete? Is there any way to get into a slower paced race, since I am a novice? How is online structured, and is there a way to choose a race based on my skill/choice of car?
I look forwards to your thoughts
