RIP JammyDegree Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yes me to. I wondered why they had the Live Event from the other day set to regular, and not setvto non-contact. Jizzle2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRyujin-- Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 while I enjoy it too. I don't run ghost always. some tracks are better with it activated and some are not. Gymkhana and drift races are ideal. I found it pretty useful when hosting my created races so everyone can get a feel for the track instead of worrying about Jo Blo over here pitting them.

Jlogano22 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I hate it because it auto turns off catchup and slipstream....which make for races based on the fastest car not the driver... I would love it if they didn't turn those off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE-Kamikaze-ACE Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I personally did enjoy how gta4 gave you the option to gta race without weapons or health packs. So people had to take really good care of the car they were driving. Usually cars would be destroyed by the end of a race and look really cool. RESPECTFUL drivers who know how to drive dont go smashing eachother up like savages. GTA5 has way too many little things to help you out when you crash into objects going 200 mph or flip your car in a ditch. If its that easy to survive wrecks that would mame and mangle a human? There is no consequence for your actions! I'm not saying your car should be destroyed and unuseable. It would have been so sweet if the cars were just unrecognizable but still driving. Would be hilarious to se your character crawl out of the car with broken legs and have to kill them self to get new ones. Broken and missing limbs NEEDS to be in gta6! Instead its consequence to your pocket book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love it if they didn't turn those off I have to respectfully disagree on this one. Slipstream is off because obviously we can't slipstream a ghost. The fastest car/worse driver argument because catch up is off...If that is a problem for you then I would recommend racing more tracks with turns. Racing in the mountains is a great performance equalizer. If you truly are the better driver it will show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing in the mountains is a great performance equalizer. If you truly are the better driver it will show. True. I've raced a couple of flats.with contact turned off and had mixed success, but when technicalities like traffic and complex turns are in effect, knowledge and an ability to stop and turn really come into their own. For the few non-contact races I've been able to play it had become evident that many racers still seem to adopt the attitude of flat out or are have the notion of brake, brake , brake. It seems the finer points of car control have by-passed a lot of players IMO. In any case I'd love to see far more non-contact racing if only for the fact it doesn't take tremendous skill to win and often provided far closer racing when you get two equal racers who know what the are doing (no to mention more intense for the fear of hitting that tree).

TexasKilldozer Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I hate it because it auto turns off catchup and slipstream....which make for races based on the fastest car not the driver... I would love it if they didn't turn those off I'd say non-contact races are dependent on both the car's performance and the driver's skill. I've taken the armor off all my racing cars and they run much faster... the downside being is that they're harder to handle on turns, and they explode much easier. Much easier. I get the complaints about slipstreaming being off, but I prefer catchup off in all my races. Catchup belongs on french fries, not races! If I'm racing with friends who actually know how to race, I don't mind regular racing, but if I'm joining random races, it's non-contact for me.

SaveTheZombies Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm glad we don't have to read any more complaint topics about dirty drivers. lol jk, I'm sure we'll still see them. I usually like to take my chances in contact (even though I seem to do better in non contact) but I do really like non contact for some of the stunt runs and 'test track' type races like the Top Gear one on the twisty tracks thread. http://gtaforums.com/topic/709708-anyone-like-racing-tight-twisty-tracks/ The thing is that its GTA, so usually I kind of want to see cars colliding into each other.

Vooodu Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I hate it because it auto turns off catchup and slipstream....which make for races based on the fastest car not the driver... I would love it if they didn't turn those off I've seen you post this before and it blew my mind. CATCH UP is retarded.. It slows down the guy in front to crawl. Which just cluster f*cks the race and allows sh*t drivers to constantly catch up on straights. Slip Stream is broken and should not be turned on UNLESS its a highway race with constant straights. You can't have a clean race with slip stream and alot of turns. And seriously... Non contact racing is alone good for certain stunt tracks/ drift tracks. But on most RACES you need contact off or it just not a real race. They are awesome I'm winning left right and centre now that people aren't smashing into me all the time I love it I just wish more hosts would choose it what's your guys opinion on the feature? I can't stand it.. I prefer real racing. Edited May 22, 2014 by Vooodu TexasKilldozer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
