Soulsurfer Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The racing on this game is an absolute joke and seems to only attract the biggest retards of the community. Am I the only one who joins a race to actually race? Most people it seems only join with the intention of deliberately ramming into you and spinning you out. I was on lap 5/5 last night on the prison ring circuit (not sure of it's name) and had led from lap 1 when a guy I was about to lap purposely went out of his way to smash into me and fuck my race up. WTF is wrong with these idiots? Also the collision mechanic is a joke! I mean I'm sat in my dune buggy and some asshat on a motorcycle is able to smash into me and spin me off with no ill effect on himself at all. He happily rides on to win the race. I honestly don't see the attraction in playing like that. Rant over.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JORDAN K 95 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 yeah, people ramming is annoying, but theres not much you can do. once i was in first place in a 16player race i was way ahaed and eventually someone caight up and rammed me, then 2 other people were close by and caught up once i got back on track then 1 of them rammed me so now im in 4th place then get overtaken by another 3 cars, all because of 1 guy ramming me. ram them back, sometimes i ram random people for the fun of it.

jedijaxpavan Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 It would be nice if we had the option to race with ghost cars just to avoid idiots that just ram people. I think we've all done it though and for me at least I've rammed people by accident on turns and then we are both screwed. Im all about ghost cars option.

Xenolith666 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 the car physics have been trash since GTA 4.. granted I'm not playing 5, but i specifically recall taking a turn and flipping my car over 17 times while going 25 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc123 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 A option to have collisons off would of been nice, Its ridiculious how easy some of the cars can be spun out so easily, In a race i just try hold off from the first corner to avoid all the madness.

oozero Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Its Grand Theft Auto............... Also its a really easy way to level up Exactly.. those things are expected. Three things you can do. 1) Fuck them up before they Fuck you up. 2) Host GTA Races. When you see someone coming up behind you, hit the brakes, let them fly past, and blow their ass up with rockets. 3) Stop racing in GTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsurfer Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Forza is over there. I'm well aware of where Forza is thanks. That doesn't answer my question though does it? Why do I see bitching outside the Bitching Thread? Oh, that's right... Because I felt like posting about it here, OK? Also it allows people like you to post the usual smartass replies such as yours! Your reply added nothing to this thread and if you don't like the topic then feel free to remove/move it. Or perhaps your not a moderator here and unable to do such a thing? In that case STFU Everyone else who replied without trying to be witty, thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doktor Wilhelm Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 It's just a part of the game, I don't understand why everyone gets so pissy about it, though it seems like a lot of people are just pissing and moaning about everything, if you're not having fun, you should go and find something that you do find fun (instead of wasting precious minutes of you finite life being a fucking grump and sore loser), and if you really feel the need to drive contactless races in GTA:V, get together some like minded people and drive around like grannies out on a Sunday drive...

shooterking69 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Forza is over there. Some Forza drivers are idiots to Lol trust me. Anyway yeah this game is full of ass clowns And that's it. Don't expect it to ever change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basti memphis Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Its Grand Theft Auto............... Also its a really easy way to level up i also don't like it but you had to get over it. i play it for easy money and RP (you still get good money/ rp if you don't win it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Kazz Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 As Rivercurse said, this isn't Forza, I don't get why people bitch about stuff happening to them in games, if they can do it to you, then sure as hell you can do it to them!! It's fair game.... If you can't take a few Spin "A" Roonys on the track, play in your own game with trusted friends where you can have a tea party and brush your unicorns pink hair while singing twinkle twinkle little star. As for why it's so popular? It's quick money and fast RP, also the online is riddled with Criminal Record lobbies with people using it to boost to 100 quicker. In other games I'd get the bitching, but in GTA5 you still get fair RP and Dollars even if you come last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercurse Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'm well aware of where Forza is thanks. That doesn't answer my question though does it? It's a perfetcly valid point. Moaning about people griefing you in a Grand Theft Auto online race is as ridiculous as moaning about people shooting you in Call of Duty when all you wanted to do was walk peacefully around the map looking at the scenery. Behaviour is a product of the setting of the game you're playing. This is GTA ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then it has to be sorted out somehow, most of people aren´t complete assholes that ruin everyone elses game, and your point is invalid, Call of Duty is about shooting others - that´s just the point but racing in GTA is just about racing, that is why it is not called GTA Race just normal Race, it´s about racing, not about ramming into other people like an asshole. Best thing would be to put those retarded people in bad sport. Edited October 21, 2013 by troy0891 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing would be to put those retarded people in bad sport. I've heard people moaning on their mic when I spin them out, so I figure lets race clean to shut the babies up, even when every single person races clean you end up bumping and bouncing all over the show, it's just the way the mechanics are, that and the fact people get enjoyment out of doing it. If I join a random lobby, and see a chance to take someone out to get first, ala more money and xp, I'll do it. I think some folks here want the ghost collisions Forza had, while that was good for those worried about times etc, it made the race boring IMO, I don't see Rockstar adding ghost collision to GTA anytime soon (why would they the thought is just stupid) so people raging need to get used to the way the community race, or go play Barbie's Racing Adventures In Wonderland. Even alternating wins to boost XP was boring so we just went for the chaos approach, we smashed our way to 100 every race with people getting knocked off track etc, it was a blast, some people just don't want to have fun with their games.

Best thing would be to put those retarded people in bad sport. A common sense test needs to be applied. No right minded gamer should come into GTA online races expect all the other gamers to move out of your way if you're appraching them from behind at speed, or not to deliberately smash into you, or to obey other racing ettiquettes more commonly found in actual racing games. And calling people faggots and retards is just plain offensive. There will be gay members of this community, there will also be members of this forum suffering from different types of mental retardation and they are all reading what you post, so just think before you type.

Rusty Knight 07 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 All online games are the same, there are those who want to play and enjoy playing the game properly and then there are those who are too stupid to know how to play the game properly and just go around screwing up everyone else's fun.

AwoL DudE Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Love the racing. Only a few times have I come across complete melons who drive the wrong way on purpose or block the road. Mainly play with a group of mates and we laugh our arses off. Mallard racing is one of our faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
