^^ So not many JRPG's play on your part?

Look, I see what you’re saying, I don’t agree but we'll just have to agree to disagree.
GT5 is by far the worst entry in the series after GT2, imo.
A-spec was and still is my favourite but adding longevity to a GT game that just happens to be an aspect of experience and levels in this case could be considered RPGísh but racing was still predominantly what took place.
We're arguing technical points that are essentially all the same thing regardless. It's a racing game first and foremost and my guess would be if it was still traditional in the sense that you needed just licences then people would of complained that it’s not evolving enough.
I've said it before, if its popular there will be haters.
