Guys ,im thinking on get this game for my dad,its worth it ?
i have a bravia 26′ wich supports 1080p btw.
im wishing i got this now, im broke at the moment though
i would of thought trophies would make the list
I might have to hop back on GT5P. Havent played it in awhile. Hopefully the penalty adjustments work. They used to be fairly inconsistant and sometimes just plain stupid lol.
@Fersis
Does he like racing sim games?
@class21
yeah he does, he plays a lot of the F1 game on PS2 and PS3
Also i was in shock when i found that he discovered how to shoot and jack cars in GTA IV, he really likes GTA IV more than me.
BTW my dad rocks
haha sweet dad. i dunno, my old man doesn’t like GT5: Prologue, but he likes to watch it. then again, his favorite game of all times was twisted metal 2.
pssst. i know for a fact that ragdoll kung fu: fists of plastic will support trophies. working on getting approval for a story
We’ll see how they fixed the penalty system. It was getting tiring to get a penalty for getting booted from behind then spinning either thru a turn or into a grassy section only to get a penalty for short cutting the corner. Or when online people bump draft you into the wall and you get a contact penalty and they drive on…or you trying not to cut someone off of his inside line and they door you into the wall and same penalty…but hey it is a prologue and they have time to fix these things before the full game comes out…
I would think he would like it then. And yeah, he rocks. I wish I had a dad like that lol
Yeah the penalties were ridiculous sometimes. I especially hated the one where someone puts you in the grass and you get a shortcut penalty when its on a straightaway. And they would get nothing. Thats kinda why I stopped playing it. Too frustrating.
