When I first started Gran Turismo 4 a few years back, I was okay on cars. But it's such a life changing game. I now love cars, especially have a tendency towards Japanese cars. Ever since getting into GT I've learned to change my own oil, do general maintenance myself, and have found a love for Japanese cars. Before GT I really struggled to get into cars but turns out I really had to find my niche. The niche here in America is mostly towards American muscle cars and while those are cool, they don't really stir my heart. Many of the famous cars in GT however, are familiar because I learned about them in Initial D. I'm looking to get a classic Toyota eventually with Manual Transmission because of GT. I've never driven manual in my life.
After years of GT4 I think I'm ready to branch out into other racing games like Colin McRae, Dirt, Need For Speed, and going back to my tried and true Ridge Racer. I've got V on Xbox. I may have to get RR6 on PS3, which I still have but rarely use.
Racing games are such a relaxing genre.
One thing I've noticed that is Forza just doesn't compare to GT. Like, racing and driving are one thing. But for me GT is the whole package and it really, really does a great job of making you fall in love with and appreciate cars that Forza just doesn't do.
What a classy, beautiful experience. One of the greatest games of all time. I can't wait to get a PS5 and play 7.
Going to other racing games after this may be a challenge because....GOAT.
Just not there yet.. It's always something that needs to calibrate or optimize, or simply doesn't work right. Or my game get interupted with some notification of sorts... And I don't have bluetooth earbuds and/or overear phones yet, having to cancel out the Laptop buzzing like a space heater having to sit near it... it's so many little things that just make it a pain in the ass to set up and play. PS5, I just grab the controller and press a button. Boom, ready to play.
I don't know what you're doing here, man. I just open up (usually) Steam, launch the game, grab a controller, and I'm playing.
