Which boss would you rather work for, all other things being equal?

A) A boss that rewards you for doing extra work with overtime pay and promotion offers.

A boss who doesn't care how hard you work as long as you do the minimum required, and doesn't give you anything for working harder than that.

I dunno about you, but Boss A sure looks a whole lot more appealing to me.

If you like doing extra work, well that's great. But still, getting something special on the side for it is still justified. It would be wonderful if all video games followed this philosophy, because then you'd have an incentive to play your games longer. I'd be a lot more interested in many games in my video game collection if I got something special for playing on their hard difficulties.

i can see it both ways , i think you should be given rewards for playin on harder difficulty's but, if you cant play play on the harder difficulty's (if you not good at that type of game) why should you be punished and not be able to get the rewards?

Forza 2 does it the right way, if you ask me. Instead of forcing you to play on harder difficulties to unlock everything, you get more money for making the game harder. Plus, the game credits you as winning a race no matter the difficulty. So someone who's not skilled can still see everything. It'll just take them longer to build up cash and levels. That's okay with me.

Now, what I don't think is fair is locking entire segments of the game off if you don't play at a certain difficulty. As in, games where you can't play any farther than the midway point if you are on easy (like Twisted Metal 2). But if you need to play on hard to get a rare car or weapon, or if you get more points or money... That's more like it. You still get to experience almost all of the game.

Maximum is right, I mean on Battlefield: Bad Company, after each level you get an achivement after every mission, but only if you complete it on normal or higher. For easy, nothing.

I've used the DFP and the controller; only controller on Forza 2 (one time at a kiosk was all I needed), and I'll say that while GT4 is indeed limited in customization in the visuals department, the physics are unparalleled on a console save maybe GT5:P which I have not had the pleasure of playing. Aaand with that said they're still glitched quite badly in areas, but what isn't?

GT Legends, GTR2, rFactor... All superior in physics to GT4, and LFS superior to them... But they're PC games, not something that has to run with about 300mhz of processor.

I'm sure FM2 would entertain me for a while but I doubt Forza itself in any iteration will come close to GT in terms of overall depth.

I've tuned countless cars in GT4 not just for personal use but for the public, and I'll say that GT has indeed been THE best investment I've made. (Not just parts either... I go through everything)

Well then you have no real right to judge the game the kiosk only lets you play the "ARCADE" version of the game... sheesh at least take some time and play the real deal before saying its physics isn't on par with GT4 :roll:

seriously it has ALOT MORE depth and a physics engine that is better than that of GT4 lol that is coming from someone who has played GT1-GT5:HD... still haven't gotten a chance to play GT5:Prologue though

i would rate both enthusia and txrd2 better than gt4 in terms of physics, but i havent really played gt4 much. maybe even gt3 from what i've read but i played that so long ago before getting into cars.

gt4 cars were really understeery and you cant do donuts. bumpy surfaces, elevation changes, etc seemed to have no effects on gt4. though it may have been just hard to realize since there were so little elevation changes on most of the gt circuits.

on a side note, i'm pretty sure if someone really wants to make a game on ps2 that rivals something like LFS in physics, they can. they just dont focus on having fun and graphics which is whats neccessary to sell. Maybe GT5 will be the most realistic racer, i'll have to play it a lot, and drive all the real cars, to find faults(which would not happen)

I play Forza 2 everyday, and I will always play it. I didn't like GT's physics. Feels like I am driving a cardboard box most of the time. No body-lean, no rise... NOTHING. Forza can give me that, and sides. I can make a nasty S13 for me. But... Thats just my opinon on Forza.

F.Y.I: If anybody has Live, add me please.

I know this is an older thread, but I've been doing a lot of YouTube browsing lately. I really want to get into playing some FORZA 2 because there is some great drifters and tournaments out there.

Luckily FORZA 2 is about $20 game new, and all I'd have to do is purchase a XBOX360 (and learn to use the controller).

Now if only TXRD2 was online, we could have some more fun around this forum....

The 360 controller isn't hard to learn at all, I used to only use Sony Dualshocks and Sixaxis', and thought the 360 controller would be a whole lot different to them. There isn't any difference as the buttons do the same functions (A button on a 360 = X button on a ps2/ps3 controller, etc)

However the only difference is that the D-Pad and the left analogue stick have switched places, but this happens to be much more ergonomic as I have found out. Hope this helps!

I bought Forza 2 when it first came out. And that was 4 months before I bought my 360. But I never play online. But now, I bought the Platinum Hits verison which gave me the oppoertunity to buy the Pre-Order car, the Special Edition Cars, and then all of the downloadable content to that point. It was worth the $20 for me to go and buy the other copy.

Something on enegine swaps that I didn't see mentioned yet. Not only is there engine swaps (20B in RX-7 and MX-5), but there are also drivetrain swaps. So those Civic and Integra fans can swap to ths S2000 drivetrain and be rear wheel drive. Also, the JDM Integra (RSX in the States) can go AWD! They have some really cool swaps, and I find that my '72 911 is the boss with AWD drivetrain.
