    Once you get through the Cafe mode, the gameplay loop is completely obliterated. Micro transactions completely ruin the experience. Stay away.

    GT7 EA and others will not learn from microtransactions until they and virtual gaming currencies in general are outlawed. Virtual gaming currency and microtransactions need to be against the law.

    1. Why is the used cars lot clogged up with cars we will be rewarded with in the cafe menu, and cars you can buy new for a measly discount? It makes no sense, just give us the cars we cant buy new or will be rewarded with! Most stupid of all, the used car lot loads up with the cars that you are about to be rewarded from the next cafe menu challenge, why!? Who is going to buy them when they are about to be rewarded, it seems insane someone at Polyphony ticked this off!!!!

    2. Im a causal player, maybe 2 hours per day, but already im finished with the cafe menu after 2 weeks, and to my surprise the last race - World GT Series Championship - only required a National License A, and there are NO races after this that require International B or A or Super licenses, and no single GR.2 or GR.1 races or championships. Seriously? Where is this content? Where are the endurance races? The structure of the races just makes no sense.

    3. The economy overall makes no sense. Who knew real world inflation would be part of a virtual sim game! After all the Cafe menu, i had just enough to buy a single GR 1, 3 and 4, and a handful other cheaper cars. Upgrading parts economy is alot more expensive. NOS is $100k???? For a game that emphasises the collection factor, it makes it near on impossible to build your collection with such a stingy economy.

    4. Why cant we sell cars? If you want real world scenarios of outrageous prices for unicorn cars, then in the real world you can sell cars!!!!!! Again for the collection, i have a couple of duplicates because i bought a car before i knew i would get it as a reward in the cafe menu, and it **** me i have duplicates i cant sell.

    5. Roulette. Cars and money, makes sense. The invitations? useless as they are for hyper expensive cars that even if you didnt spend 1 single cent from the entire cafe menu, you still couldnt afford the invite cars. Car parts? Absolutely useless! I dont want a single part that only works for 1 particular car, give me cars or credits so i can choose what parts i want to install on the cars i want.

    6. AI needs work. the PP ratings are not reflective of the challenge of the AI. Im running on the hard difficulty, and if im within 20 PP of the "reccommended PP" for any given race, i destroy the AI and win by 15sec. I need to be 40-70PP less than reccommended to make it a challenge. AI pace needs to be adjusted according to the PP you have. Needs more standing start races with competitive AI, not an overtaking parade of slow AI. And bring some form of qualifying into this so we know what the AI competition is like against our car.

    Ok, ill admit, given the arrogance of the statement by Polyphony after the criticism of microtransactions and the 32 hour maintenance period, ill assume a pretty awesome updates are coming very very soon, but man talk about leaving us with not much else to do in the mean time.

    This games needs some serious tweaks.    … Expand

    I remember spending hundreds of hours playing GT2 back in my youth, I ordered the collectors edition of this game for my ps5 and I am so disappointed at how difficult it is for regular people to get new cars. I already spent $122 for the game. It's going to collect dust on my shelf now. avoid this game. it's ruined.

    A "free to play" game that costs £70 upfront and £hundreds more if you want the actual full content (and don't want to wait literally hundreds of hours of grinding to get all the cars). Some single cars cost double the price of the actual game!!! Absolutely disgusting practice by Sony.
    Boycott this sham and don't spend a penny on it until Sony reigns in the extreme greed.

    This could have been such a great game...they absolutely ruined it with micro transactions and the lack of payout. I can't justify paying the cost for cars or the hours spent grinding to get vehicles. This is on top of the DRM system that is total BS. You have ruined this franchise. You have lost a fan.

Playing optimally the fastest you can acquire credits is around 800k per hour so it can take you 20+ hours of running the exact same 3 lap race over and over again in order to buy 1 car. Keep in mind you need to also buy credits to tune, upgrade, buy wheels and even paint colors for your cars.

    You choices to have fun in this game is to either grind hundreds of hours like you are playing World of Warcraft or spend hundreds of real life dollars on micro transactions to buy credits.

    This game is also "always online". You can't even play the single player if you don't have an internet connection or Gran Turismo's servers go down. They were recently down for over 30 hours and you simply couldn't play the game. I also had my internet go down briefly in the middle of a 30 lap race and it instantly kicked me out of the game not saving my progress.

    I would highly recommend you look somewhere else if you want a racing game. I had thousands of hours in previous Gran Turismo games but I will never buy another one after this. Extremely disappointing.    … Expand

    Unacceptable behavior by Sony and Poliphony
    --- When servers are offline Can't play the $80 game on single player mode.
    ---Each Top end Legendary car will cost You $200 !!!.
    -- if you don't want to spend $200 you will need to grind for 300hours !!!

    This game feels unfinished in many ways, and deliberately predatory/designed to extract money in other ways.

    Unfinished:

    Feels like some stuff missing that is usually in GT games, a long career mode, the ability to sell cars, endurance races.

    Predatory/money grubby things:

    The game constantly reminds you that you can top up credits with real money. The game uses psychological tricks (invites for premium cars) to try to tempt you to buy them, adds artificial scarcity into the game to pressure you to buy things - all the while constantly reminding you that you can pay real money to get credits fast. On top of that, the latest patch reduced the amount of credits earned in most of the top awarding races by a huge amount.

    It feels shady and underhanded, and I wish I could refund my copy.    … Expand

And my expectations were met with a great simulator with a fantastic feel and love for cars, until about a week into the game's lifespan since release. Gran Turismo games are heavily based around their single-player campaign, this has been the norm and a large part of the appeal for many fans of the series. The problem is that with GT7, the expected "campaign" seems to be completely unplayable in this title without a constant internet connection. This game is Unplayable, inaccessible, and impossible to progress unless the GT7 online servers are up and running, and unless your internet connection is stable.

    With that issue, there comes another fundamental problem with GT7, and that seems to be a mix of various gameplay restrictions that are new to this title specifically. In past Gran Turismo games, the player would be able to sell their cars in order to attain in-game credits used to buy cars and parts. These cars and parts are integral to progression, as the upgrade mechanic allows for older, more affordable cars to be modified and "grow alongside the player" so to speak. GT7 does not allow you to do this whatsoever. GT7 is the first Gran Turismo game where the player is unable to sell vehicles. This new restriction may be due to the new car collection-driven progression mechanic that Polyphony Digital has introduced, which makes sense on the surface. But this makes even less sense given that the various track payouts throughout the game have been heavily decreased, and car prices and part prices have stayed the same.

    Polyphony Digital wants the players to grind too hard! It's as simple as that. This is a cause for concern for players who happened to spend $60-70 on a driving simulator game expecting full access to all the features of previous titles, and much more.

    The most painful bit of this entire mess of issues is the microtransactions sector of core gameplay. With the issues stated prior, Polyphony Digital and Sony seem to have given players an escape from this incessant need for a perilous "grind". One can spend a very significant amount of real world money in exchange for little in-game currency.

    This tells us players one thing: Polyphony Digital and Sony expect players to complete the immensely short and dragging "Cafe Mode" tutorial/career section, then grind and grind to attain better cars, be incapable of grinding with the steep prices afterwards, and then buy egregious amounts of currency to be only slightly closer to building a proper car collection necessary to progress.

    As a player and long-time fan, I believe and can firmly state that this is akin to an elaborate cash-grab. This is Sony's leap for monetary gain disguised as a polished and well-designed racing simulator.    … Expand

    Gran Turismo 7 brings to the tracks every single thing fans always wanted: the GT Mode everyone loves, plenty of customization options, car loads, classic scenarios and one of the best DualSense and 3D Audio experiences the PS5 has to offer.
