Stop with the "fanboyism" non-sense please. Dude, those who're waiting for GT5 had been doing so even when there was no damage confirmed for it.
That little trail. Had only one track and one car and it took out more hours out of my gaming time than Warhead. All I'm asking you to do is to stop criticizing for the sake of criticism and realize what the game IS ABOUT.
It's about simulation of driving. Heck, the engine's being used at the AMG academies given it's accuracy.
The cars, how they feel, the tracks and the driving simulation. I don't car about damage, yes, as I prefer to reset upon my first crash or mistake. Rewind from Forza would've been cooler though.
