im tired of getting t-boned or shoved into the wall because some ass doesnt know how to drive or just likes being an ass. damn bizzare turn off the collisions and make the online a test of true skill. also dont drop me 300 places because i finish third in one match after winning 14 in a row, its not my fault rookies spin me out

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

What would be the point of online if there was no collision?

 

[Beer Monkey]

Join a small community and quit playing with strangers. If you don't have enough friends here, also join up with someplace like XBLRacing.com. Those guys are serious and won't put up with that crap.

to find out how good you really are, not how good you are at getting out of the first turn without being fucked over

in online career you cant choose who you play with, its completly random. i play with gaffers often, but it doesnt improve your ranking

To actually race the other guy, I'd assume.

 

[Raiden]

Good thing real-life race's dont have collision, that would be a bummer!

too bad real life racing doesnt involve people with quarter million dollar cars driving into people just to dick them over huh

i had someguy last night driving a NSX spin me out twice and his rply was" i have to spin you out because there is no way i can catch you otherwise". hey dick spend some tim playing single player and get a better car

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I'll race with you later and we can get some other guys from GAF and do it up proper. K?

You gave them negative feedback right? Just don't be vocal about it or else they'll just return the favor.

Amen.

Whats the point of racing somebody online with no collision? If there is no collision, you are just racing for high scores. You are not really competing with anybody. Why not everybody post there highest runs then, whats the point. Its not real racing. When there is multiple people on the course, you have to pay attention to your race lines and other people at the same time.

My opinion though.

 

[Jerkface]

Bingo. Negative feedback not only contributes to their reputation but reduces the possibility of being put against them in future.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

the bad thing is if you get in a room full of amatuers or rookies and you win you still lose rank, im actually dropping out of rooms now if there arent any hot shots or professionals. i seriously won 10 races in a row then finished 3rd and dropped like 300 people in rankings. that shit is flawed

 

[crunker99]

people will use the pit manouver on you all day long dude, it is rampant in the game, find a guild or racing club or something or els eyou wil be bullshitted every race

 

[ghostlyjoe]

That's part of the skill of the game. If you can't handle it, then it's you who are the n00b.

What, is there some kind of online racing etiquette that we all should be aware of here? If the rules of the game allow it, then either you know how to deal with it or you don't. Stop blaming others for your own shortcomings.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

how will a racing club help me in online rankings??? isnt it random

i started racing more A class. thats where it seems the better racesrs are, but the cars are a bitch.

are you fucking kidding??? what skill is involved in spinning someone out??? youre probably the ass that was driving the NSX

It's a friggin' video game. It isn't real life. Part of the drama and competitiveness of the online game comes from the ability to have confrontations with other drivers, high-speed collisions and just plain "bad luck." If you want a game based totally on "skill," play chess. If you prefer PGR3, then play by the rules and quit whining.

It's fine, Learn 2 play

 

[Timan]

Thats why you go slow at the start of the race, everyone that rushes the first turn usually crashes, so you just go slow and go right by them simple as that.

If you can't handle being teamed up with random people, then you need to make some friends online and play with them, or stick to your single player games.

I must say, I agree with this fellow. Part of racing games is learning how to manauever with opponents, not just cutting the best line.

 

[Liquid]

collisions can be turned off.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

i enjoy playing the game i dont enjoy getting dicked over because someone doesnt know how to drive or is retarded???? whats hard to understand???

 

[truffleshuffle83]

collisions can be turned off.

only when youre not playing in online career. if youre just playing in the other rooms that dont count towards your ranking yes they can be turned off

fair enough comment, but playing against wankers with bad manners or cheap play is also a legitimate complaint.

Welcome to the internets. Enjoy your stay.

Seriously, every game is filled with jacktards whose sole purpose for being online is to ruin the game for everybody else. It sucks, but you're going to have to deal with it. The first suggestion was the best one. Find a group of people who want to play with a little class.

 

[ghostlyjoe]

I guess I was being a bit harsh. I can certainly understand your frustration. But the suggestions in this thread have been spot on. You need to either control who you're racing against or learn to adapt to PGR3's community-at-large.

 

[crunker99]

there is a difference between learning to play without collding or recovering fast

and being purposfully showed int eh rear side to pit you like the cops do to real life cirminals.. there really is no cure for that as it takes only a small tap to spin you out and it takes only seconds or 2 to do

its dirty but that is XBox live for you, on the whole xbox live has teh highest percentage of ditry players in an online community for god sake 1 out of every 3 games has idiots screaming "faggot" and "nigger" into their mics all round long.. seriously its horrible

 

[Reilly]

i enjoy playing the game i dont enjoy getting dicked over because someone doesnt know how to drive or is retarded???? whats hard to understand???

you also seem to care about some stupid online ranking. No one cares about that shit. Just play the game and take your licks or stop bitching and don't play online anymore.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

if there is a way to find a group of people to play with that contribute to your raknkings let me know??? i consistently play with most of the gaffers that own the game and those matches are fine albeit a few taps and spinouts here and there (excluding cold blooded hes dirty :lol ) but they dont effect your ranking in the game. i was just saying that if they turned off collisions it would be a good way to fix things

 

[truffleshuffle83]

yeah because nobody cares to see how they stack up againt the rest of the world in games...youre comment makes no sense

Sign me up. PDZ is ruling me right now, but I'd be happy to dust off PGR3.

 

[truffleshuffle83]

i played with you a couple times nog.....everyone seems to be playing PDZ, no PGR3 love lately from any of my buddy list

Dude it's like Burnout Revenge.... but not!!!

 

[neptunes]

 

[TTP]

I think they should just add a speed-limit penalty system. Like not being able to go at more than 50km/h for 2 secs.

 

[born_bad]

Look, it's a competition, right? If I can get ahead of you by spinning you out, you bet your ass I'm going to spin you out. That's part of the game. If you can't avoid me and stay in the lead then it's not my fault.

I don't consider that a problem if it's done with the intent to win. What I get annoyed at is if someone's sole purpose on the track is to slam into people. They're not even trying to win the race, they're just trying to screw people over.

so basically your contradicting yourself. let me give you a hint, they are slamming into you to try and get ahead

Good god its people like you who ruin online games.

 

[born_bad]

Good god its people like you who ruin online games.

Explain to me how that's ruining the game when the AI does it as well? I don't know how many races I've lost because the AI would spin me out on the last turn of the race. Should I just let you win even though I could spin you out?

If you want to race perfect laps without ever being touched play the time trials.

 

[Raiden]

By slamming into people at full speed while they're cornering...thats ruining the game for them. I dont know how seriously you do it but i hate such shit, Splinter Cell online was half ruined by cheap ways of playing the game.

 

[Guileless]

Good god its people like you who ruin online games.

That is human nature ruining the games. The only option is to either play with people you know or play with people who are not competing for rankings, otherwise any competitive advatage that does not have adverse consequences will be exploited.

 

[shpankey]

Bizzare should handle this like Papyrus did with their Nascar sims online. You provide different ratings attached to any incidents you have. Like you have ratings for..

Incident Per Lap (an average of how many incidents you have per lap, on average).

Total Incidents - a tally of all incidents you've been in.

You could also give a rating based on all the data. You could give out more points when you're in a wreck where you hit another car with the front of your car. Like... if you're front bumper hit's someon's car, and an incident occurs within the next 3 seconds, assign triple the blame point to you. Stuff like that.

Then, as gamers, we could attach room filters or requirements. Like, you have to be rated a 7 to join this room (on a scale of 1-10, 10 being a perfect driver) and also, you have to have driven at least 100 miles online to get in. This way, room hosts can filter out the bad drivers and shit like that. They could also add filters related to the feedback system.

It's all there, if a developer really want's to fix these problems, they just have to code it in.

As soon as I get an Xbox 360... I'm in for a GAF racing group.

[truffleshuffle83]

it wouldnt be so bad if bizarre was a little more linient with the rankings..there is no excuse to drop me 300 places because of some other fucktard screwing me over. especially after working for 2+ hours to move up those 300 spots by winning only to have it ruined by one race
