Gran Turismo 5

well aleast I can get that one achievement for going broke now :/

[Kaisha]

Save files afaik have always retained which account it was created on, and usually disable trophies if it's detected to be running on a account not of its own.

Granted, if the game lets you load it still, all it took was to resave it and reload the game and you were gold.

[Akiyama]

Happy you can backup now, though. Donig a b-spec endurance race right now since i'm lazy and don't wanna check my game to start next races and shit.

Did the first money/exp thing on the season events and got silver. Couldn't get fucking gold to save my life. damn guy is just so far ahead. i'll probably do the others later.

Fuck the fucking tires they restrict you to. I can't use anything but racing softs anymore it seems Comfort tires are balls.

Man I'm disappointed in the way they structured the academy seasonal. They give you the realistic physics only to give you FUCKING COMFORT TIRES. GG who goes to a track, pays for track time and limits themselves to comfort tires. Anyway ranked 166th on Tsukuba so far. My Wheel setup just inst comfortable enough for me to use for these things, but fuck it's hard to be consistent. I don't think I can be sure of a top 100 finish unless I finish below 100 in each TT run.

Btw there is no reward FGT right? I actually have to buy it for the event?

Technically there are only like 4 cars you need to buy in the game to do races. The FGT is one of them.

I've got a friend who, last I checked, was Top 5 in all the races, lol. Dude's absurdly good.

And yeah, the other events, restricting you to comfort tires is ass. Hell, on the B-Spec endurance, you have to use Sports tires or someshit, though it doesn't matter I guess due to the fact that FGT > their shit cars, lol

[Akiyama]

God dammit, I hate quick reply being right next to the lock button

Anyway yeah, I did a couple laps of the Cape Ring trial for the GT academy. I tried doing another but it said my account wasn't registered, even though it is. Restart didn't help, so hopefully today I can try it again. Also agree with the tires being terrible

[Nitsuki]

I really don't get the first seasonal event, the A2 you're up against in first clearly has 6 more hp than your dinky fiat, there's just no way to reach first... So frustrating!!! Well hopefully the others are better... Lol

Need to see what else i can do to take advantage of this, might end up getting a customizable gearbox and go all out acceleration.

[Ragnell]

Fuck those tires, Get money

Yeah, I signed up this morning, and am doing the 4 hour Roadster B-Spec atm, but when that's done, I'm gonna go try the GT Academy stuff.

Yeah.. I think it's retarded that the guy in first gets the better HP and everything, while you have to literally take every corner perfectly. Closest I've been is within 4 seconds by the very end. Shit's annoying.

jeebus that download was looooooong on my slow ass connection

at least I'll get to see all the nice goodies tonight after work

[Eliseos]

Got second in the GTR seasonal yesterday, I think all of these events are going to need to change the transmission to be very acceleration biased. I drove pretty well and was still 6 seconds away from the first place GT.

I'd probably be even higher if I could use my steering wheel set up but it's too uncomfortable right now to use because I don't have space. I could probably cut half a second off my lap time if I could just be more consistent using the wheel. I just need to figure something out.

[Akiyama]

I signed up for it, so I'm gonna work on the academy thing in a bit.

As far as transmission to acceleration based, I set the Fiat to the lowest it could go on the transmission so I'd accelerate faster.. but still no good. I'll have to play with the camber and all that jazz.

[Eliseos]

and am doing the 4 hour Roadster B-Spec atm

Ugh, that race is going to be so long and boring, especially after driving the FGT and X1 around.

[Kaster]

lol I did the 4hr roadster endurance this weekend... took all day sunday pausing during the football games and racing during commercials, plus begging the wife to race for me for like an hour. If I ever do the 24hr ones, I'm guessing they'll take me a full week.

Got my DFGT wheel on Sat tho, nice early xmas present.

[Akiyama]

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to that race at all. :/ Just got the Mazda RX-7 seasonal event left to gold, and about to do that now. They've all been relatively easy, with the Fiat one taking me the most tries to gold, lol

[Kaster]

just fuckin changed my oil on my fiat, and it gave it 66 hp... wtf. cant even enter the race now. tried running practice laps to dirty the oil a bit and drop the extra hp and now it hit 67 hp... really?
