But it's strategic...? If we didn't ram, races would be won by whoever upgraded their car the most.

not if they can't drive

And if they can, I use it to tip the odds back in my favor. What? Do you really expect players to sit down and lose in the interest of "fairness"? That's not how GTA works.

I agree, win by any means necessary, this is why I believe a better test of driving skill lies in impromptu races.

Just like people who use glitches, racers who need to ram to win just flat out suck at video games, and it's the only way they will ever win. I just don't let them touch me, always host and make sure catch-up is off. If you get really good, you can take the lead and keep it. They are never gonna go away, and there's no game mechanic to prevent them.

LOL not sure if you should listen to this guy.. You can tell right of the bat that he's not reasonable. He's comparing a glitcher to a person who crashes? So to him, a rammer and cheater are the same. ha I can see everytime jbarb doesn't like someone, he calls them a cheater..

 

It'd probably be better if he compared the rammer to a tank user but he aint to bright to come up with that comparison.

 

Like I said, a skilled racer can adapt to their environment. Everyone can ram each other, it's not a cheat

Uh, you're relying on taking me out of the race rather than your ability to drive, it's unsportsman-like. If we were on foot and I kicked your feet out from under you, would you say I won fair? By your definition I'd be the better racer right, because I still crossed the finish line first? I'd compare it to the tank user for you, but you're clearly not bright enough to understand it.

 

 

Lol um what #1: I'm not bright enough to understand it? I'm the one who brought up the comparison in the first place LOL. Your comparison of a glitcher to a rammer doesn't even make sense. As for comparing with a tank, that makes more sense.

 

As for your scenerio, it's too basic so.. Lets change it up a bit

 

Lets make it more GTA-like... Lets say R* gives us a gun before the race and says "Whoever gets to the finish line wins". Lol are you NOT going to use the gun? Because it's "unsportsman-like"? lol... Well you'll be dead, and i'll be the winner.

 

lol.. Unsportsman-like... in gta.. LOL

They really gotta add something to avoid ramming in normal races in Gta Online it really annoys the f*** out of me. Whats would be a good solution to this problem? Racing just isnt fun anymore this way :/

Play a different game. It's how the game is made... IT IS Grand Theft Auto. You don't hear me complaining about Derek Jeter getting a hit off of me in MLB The Show... why? Because it's PART OF THE GAME.

 

You don't like it? Go play Gran Turismo or Forza (depending on what system you play on). Boo Hoo

One of the biggest misconceptions I see in this thread is what "rubbing" means. Rubbing is racing just means that contact happens, not "lets crash everybody of the track".

I was racing yesterday and got placed at the back of a big grid, as soon as we pulled away the person next to me swung straight across and tried to ram me off the road.

Thankfully I was able to pull to the left just enough to then out accelerate him, then he quit the race :rol:

I f*cking hate the losers who will not slow down into a sharp turn (double/triple arrow) and instead bank on the fact that I'm turning, so they T-bone me, sending me half-way down the wrong street, usually into a tree, wherein, even though they didn't bother to slow down or try to turn, hitting me turns their car the correct direction.

 

Seriously....f*ck those people. Learn to f*cking turn you f*cking urethras.

I'm a good racer, just don't get in my driving line as you will get rammed or span out from you trying to be a defensive racer

 

lol so you're not a good racer really

you're just like the rest of em and will ram any1 any chance you get

 

And this....it's NOT YOUR racing line. It's a racing line. If I get in front of you, I deserve to drive where I want just as much as you do. If you're so sh*tty that you can't get around me without ramming, then you are NOT A GOOD RACER. f*ck off with that attitude.

 

actually If I'm ahead of you it is my racing line

there's like this rule in racing that whoever's up front gets the race line

you can't just pass by ramming him out of the way (like the picture showed earlier, that's not a legal racing move in anything besides destruction derbies realy)

ow and don't get your panties in a bunch, I didn't mean to say you suck at racing or anything

just pointing you're not good when it comes to racing, you know as in good vs evil not based on skill or anything

so no need to get all agressive and accuse me of the exact thing you just admitted to doing all the time

 

anyway it can be a good move if you want to get ahead, only problem is there's usually people behind you who might have tthe same idea

Again, why is it that you think that because the race is in the game "GTA", that it cannot or should not be a legit race? I'm pretty sure that's why they have the option to chose between a "standard" race, and a "GTA" race, one clean and one dirty. It may not be a racing game, but that doesn't mean there can't be a real race in it. Your analogy applies to "GTA races", in which case hell yes, I'd shoot you where you stand.
