History YMMV / GRID

* MemeticMutation: Cockpit view. See TheyChangedItNowItSucks below.

* ThatOneBoss: Ravenwest. They're almost perfect with their cornering, acceleration, and they seem to be either in the pole position or in the middle in the start of each race. Regardless of difficulty[[note]]unless you play on basic or normal mode[[/note]], [[NintendoHard if you make any apex mistakes such as improper cornering and slipping off the road, 9 times out of 10 one of the Ravenwest members will overtake you or overtaking them for the first three positions will be almost impossible.]]

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: GRID 2. Poor, poor GRID 2. Not only it has been bashed to near-''NeedForSpeed Most Wanted 2012'' levels, it has received a lot of flak from the beginning for of the absence of cockpit view, because, according to Codemasters, only 5 percent of the GRID players used it.
** Minor example is the disappearance of Demolition Derby in GRID 2 to some.
*** Possibly cut because DiRT Showdown (a game based around demo derby) was released about 2 months before the reveal trailer.
** Now that the game's out, the other major complaint is that the game feels more arcade-y than the first game, thus disappointing the fans that expected and preferred the handling of the original.

* ThatOneBoss: Ravenwest

* FandomBerserkButton: Don't ever, '''ever''' say that GRID 2 is better than the first GRID to the fandom. Just don't.

* NeedsMoreLove: GRID 2 has a small yet very vocal fanbase which defends the game. Plus the game is more or less the same of the first GRID with more authentic cars and an [[BuffySpeak arcadey-feel]] of the car handling that's well executed.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The view some people have over Codemaster Racing's decision to cut cockpit-view from GRID 2, claiming their collected data says that majority of racing gamer didn't use it.

* ThatOneLevel: 24 Hour LeMans (a 12-15 minute endurance race). You can do it in actual 24 hour if you feel hardcore enough.

* FanDumb: Some people will even refuse to buy GRID 2 due to the cockpit view being omitted despite the fact that the game is still in alpha coding and yet to be released. This gets to the point that it becomes a minor meme. It doesn't help that some fans are nitpicking the hell out of the trailers of the game to a near ridiculous extent.
