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

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.
