Absolutely no clean drivers online whatsoever...argh

Which ever race I join, no one races clean at all. Whenever I have the lead and near perfect laps, the guys behind me slipstreaming off me, instead of zooming past me at blinding speeds, they just intentionally ram into me instead when they get close to my car to spin and sideswipe me to ensure I dont have any chance to overtake them for the hundredth time.

 

Why cant they just simply race? This is not the bloodring demolition derby... Not 1 single goddamn clean race.. I dont mind losing nor winning, just stop cheating to get into whatever car position you want.

 

Anyone who agrees with this and clean races, do you want to trade psn usernames?

If you want to race clean, play Forza or Gran Turismo. Like comeon this is GTA where the game is basically about being a dick to others.

Lol thats not what GTA is about. All video games have 1 principle or rule they share in common: Show class.

 

FYI there are a few douchebags in Gran turismo 5 who race dirty as well. Im pretty sure they would use the same type of arguement you have.

Yeah mate, all that class that you could show in Pong or Dig-Dug or Joust.

 

People play dirty because they want to win and because they can. If you cannot beat them, join them. Or just play with friends who won't use those tactics. Or don't play. No-one cares!

They should add another race mode in addition to traditional races, rally and GTA where you get punished with 5+ seconds or something for crashing into other cars and the victory condition is based on round times not on who drives first and racers start within 5-10 seconds of each other so in order to win you would not only have to drive fastest but clean.

I race as clean as I can too a point, I guess you mean Your getting the PIT manoeuvre used on you all the time and this is happening to me as well because your anger wouldn't be from "trading Paint".

I found I have to spend majority of the time looking behind me and brake testing people, Just don't let people slipstream you I know its easy to say but make it as difficult as you can for them to stick behind your car for 2/3 seconds.

Reason #52 I do not play GTA:O

 

As an avid racing game fan, I find it more than frustrating that I am forced to play Carmagedon.

Maybe in your own mind they do, showing "class" was never an agreed upon rule or principle by all gamers

Why do you expect players to willingly gimp themselves and stay in their position the whole race? GTA racing is aggressive racing and it you gotta do whatever it takes to win. Also there is MANY ways to avoid getting slipstreamed and pit maneuvered.. just have awareness. If someone is coming up to pit you, sideswipe a ped car in front of them so they crash into it or slow down so they speed ahead, slipstream them and then pit them instead.. simple.

 

I don't agree that all players should have a race fair mentality but I will admit slipstreaming is retarded and piting in this game is broken.. but I have to adjust. I wish it would have been nitrous rather than slipstreaming too so you could actually control your bursts and use a little bit of brain to divulge the best time to use it

I'm sorry but does really surprise you? I knew there was no clean racers online. That's like getting a CoD game and expect mature gamers but no its all 11 year olds shouting profanities or threatening you with their "1337 haXorZ skills"

it is aggrivating to jump out to a lead in the race only to have someone sneak up behind you and spin you out, but it doesnt always work. ive raced probably 75 races and won 25 of them so 1 out of 3 isnt bad.

Find me on Forza 4

 

GT: FizNpop

 

I'm not much of a Circuit racer, I pretty much only Drift. But I drift clean and do not smash into people on purpose.

 

As for playing with "class", consider it just like Real Life. Some people have class and others are crass.

 

You need to find the right people to associate with. I am very picky about who I play games with because I can't stand people who don't take things seriously, at least a little serious.

 

If someone wants to play bumper cars, then they can play with those who do so, but I throw their asses outta my Forza lobbies with the quickness.

 

Those who want to play serious and want to have mature conversation, they stay..and they will likely get added if they are my kinda people.

 

Basically, you have to pick and choose, random lobbies are just that, random.

I try to race as cleany as possible. I don't intentionally crash into people. However, I have rammed people in the ass from slip streaming, but it's not something I consciously do. I've probably cut people off too, especially on turns. It's hard not to. There's a very little chance you aren't going to collide with someone during the course of the race.

 

I've felt bad about winning some of those races where we did unintentionally collide fro one rason or another.

 

Anyway, I'd say it's probably half and half for me. Sometimes there are those that try to ram you as often as possible, but comparatively, it sounds like I've gotten off pretty well.

I agree. Another clean racer here.

 

However, I think I do better because I don't race dirty. My strategy is:

1)hang behind a couple cars until they take each other out, then sneak past.

2)If somebody is slipstreaming me, and it looks like they're going to hit me, I tap my breaks as they come up next to me. 9 times out of 10 their back end hits my front end and they spin themselves- or sometimes just run off the road and hit something.

You may need to reread my first post. I do not mind getting slipstreamed or passed. When i see someone coming, i get out of the way and let them pass ..but then some ppl decide to drive after me and delibrately knock me off the road when i gave that player 3 car widths from me to overtake.

You'd want a kinda ghost race mode then I guess.

 

To be honest, its gta. Kill or be killed. Me and my mates race and do it to each other.

 

The skill part comes in by driving straight whilst looking behind you watching the others, moving out the way so they cant do it. Or if they do block them. There are so many tactics I learnt from GTA4 online so no I know how to win races on this one probably compared to most.

I remember back in I believe it was vice city, you could throw a grenade at the cars in front of you and then start the race, it would take half your competition out before hand and you would complete the race without being punished.

 

It's only fair since you always start at the back. Just evening things out :D

I can see if they allowed you to pull out your gun and shoot peoples tires out, you can perceive this as kill or be killed. But the "mission" is to race. There is the Standard type race, and the GTA type race. GTA I believe allows you to pull out all the stops to win the race. Standard is supposed to be an actual race.

 

Trading paint is one thing, but to pit someone or push them into a telephone post or what have you, is just dirty racing.

 

In the end, you have two options.

 

1 would be to host your own games, and set the rules as you see fit. Also only allowing invited players.

 

2 would be to not race in this game and play Forza 4 or Gran Tourismo.

I think they could have really improved the bike races if they had included a road rash(oldschool bike race/combat game) style striking system where you can use your night stick or a chain or bat or crowbar or w.e to smack around other bikers and bikes.

LOL that would have been much much better than how it is now.

 

If you have actual bikes, like mountain and BMX bikes in a race, and put it on GTA style....it is terrible. You shoot out everyone's tires...and you win. Flat tires on a manual bike make the race take 10x as long...super annoying. I would much rather it be melee only.

I agree it's annoying, but it's awesome when someone tries to ram you off the road and you manage to withstand the punishment and keep moving forward while his car goes off the road. Gotta fight fire with fire, be aggressive or you're f*cking yourself over.

Or, the final option..Don't race online in GTA. lol.

 

I should start putting quotes around the word race any time it's brought up. A demolition derby is not a race, it's a last man standing match lol.
