Been reading up on this and I'm really happy about the old time difference part of things being brought back. :-)
Plus I'm guessing plenty of you know about the weather conditions being updated when playing online. Combined with all the new tracks, cars and of course the improvements to the graphics, this is gonna be a damn good game.
I dunno about the rest of you, but a lack of Gran Turismo on XBox doesn't really bother me all that much. ;-)

Oh I could start a doozy. But it'd be pointless.

Yeah, no problem.

Forget about it anyway. I aren't starting arguing with the few remaining posters who know and like to talk about games.
But it doesn't take away the fact that its not your opinion. There have been plenty of occassions when you have said that you don't want it after a Games TM review. I think you and Tilta had an argument about it around the time of the release for Brute Force.
Ali, it's been one game ferchrissake, and the magazine turned out to be right in the end. If you could give me examples of any other time, then I'd happily oblige, but I just can't think of any. You seem to be basing this argument on one incident.
Besides, you said it yourself, if a reviewer is constantly off the mark, you ignore him. Surely if a reviewer was more or less spot on all the time, it would have the reverse effect? I'm yet to disagree with GamesTM, fortifying my trust in them.
I therefore hold their opinions in high regard. If I didn't, I would have wasted a lot of money by now. Reviews serve as a guide, yes, and that's how I decide whether or not a game's worth buying.

Reviews act as a guide line and its written from one persons point of view. Just because they do it for a living doesn't mean that their reviews are going to be what you are looking for.
When I see a bad review I rent the game before commenting on whether or not its any good. I prefer to rent poorer scored games because I like to see how far or how close to the mark they were with a particular review. If that same reviewer persist on marking off the mark I don't read his articles any longer.
Thats one of the many reasons why I got sick of buying magazines. The Officialy ones are designed to talk BS which is acceptable. However the trend seem to stretch out onto other magazines who were starting to do the same thing.
These days I make my own opinion before commenting. I have seen you post many a time about a game you haven't played saying that its not very good. However when challenged it seems to be the magazine which has made your opinion for you.

If you're saying using reviews to judge games is unfair, then I've always done that, so it's loads of games. But so does everyone else, and at the end of the day, isn't that what they're for?

GT Concept was very poorly received, so I expect there will be some chance that the formula is changed. It's like I said; we just don't know.

One game? Oh please its more than that.
Like I said about GT4, they aren't gonig to change the formula and long gone are the days where I would sit kicking ass in the Endurance races. I mean there wasn't even any competition in any of them once I unlocked the F1 Car. The only one that was a tad more difficult was the Mazda only Endurance where any modifications to your car would result in them not letting you in. Boredom at its highest level.
The biggest number of laps in PGR is 15! Its a one off race on a really decent course with some top competition. Aside from that the races are always around the 2-5 lap mark which is exactly what I want.

What, Brute Force? I judged that on a review from a magazine I trusted. After everyone got on my back about it, I rented it. This only strengthed the arguments.
I count one, and I was right anyway. So ha. But that's straying from the point. Fact is, very little is known about GT4, and no-one's actually played PGR2. We just can't possibly say that much.
