Hahaha yes, Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio, is the song you're talking about, right?

It's already ridiculous that the Double Credits booster lasts a full day and costs 100 Tokens, you'd literally have to play all day with no sleep to make the most of the whole booster and even then you need the time and the motivation as well as the patience ... The Extra Tank duration is long enough in my opinion, and these timed boosters should really be no longer than 5 or 6 hours at most.

But getting to your point, the way these R&Ds are structured is to give us players the illusion that the car we try so hard to get is free when it really isn't, and you're paying off the cost of the car (and more!!) in doing Auto-Tests in these Labs, and every time you play and see commercials, then yes, more money for them!

It's hugely insulting to lose all your progress on the Final AI and be expected to pay a lot of Tokens just to beat that AI on only 3 tries every 3 hours.

Losing a lot of sleep, and then you have school/work to worry about, trying to get a lucky run in there before it's too late, and BAM. You get a severely over-powered AI opponent that you literally cannot beat unless you have the right engine cards, but nooooo, the engine cards are super rare and you almost never get them when you need them.

When the game starts to get stressful, then it stops being fun, and I want to keep playing for fun.

That's why I'm pretty sore about the Huracan's 2nd R&D, I had a better chance of winning that car back then as I was on holiday and I could try (almost) every 3 hours. But then the final Lab and not enough V10 engine cards. Tried Super Kit Boxes every 8 hours and never got ANY until the R&D was done and got about 5 of them a few days after!

This R&D for the Mosler Super GT I'm not even really trying as hard anymore. I'm just gonna coast along and see how far I get on the default configuration.

Either that, or surrender my bank account to Gameloft so I can win the car?
