    DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! What a joke. What a shame. I was so excited to play what was supposedly 'The greatest driving sim', but what we got instead was a MTX mess. Shame on the board for encouraging microtransactions and whoever decided 'always-online' is a good idea. I hope they fix this game, until then I'll be playing Forza. I'm returning GT7 to best buy tomorrow :(

    Here's an actual quote from Kazunori Yamauchi..
    'Also in this update, some event rewards have been adjusted. I wanted to also explain the reasons for it and our plans going forward.
    In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions.' So, what did they do... nerves race payouts. 100,000 credits for a 24hr endurance race. Who's even gonna think of

GT4,GT5 & GT6 did it better. Expand

    The individual cost of many of the cars is now in the HUNDREDS of real-life dollars.
    If you choose to only earn credits in-game, expect to have to complete hundreds of races over and over in order to earn enough to buy just ONE of those cars.
    And that was BEFORE their prize nerfs. Now it's even worse with update 1.08!!

    Outrageous push to buy microtransactions. Does Yamauchi expect us to play his game 24/7. There is no long term vision that I see coming. If he wants to curate the GT experience to this point, remove ALL microtransactions and then he will have a foot to stand on. I paid the full price of 80 Euros on PSN to support this game and I now regret it. This is just a greedy cash grab.

    Always online DRM also means no game preservation 20 years down the line. We need Polyphony to promise an off line mode once the servers shut down.
    The driving physics when the car jumps in off road races are also very unrealistic and the game preventing cars from rolling over also adds to the sense of unrealism.

    On-line requirement for single player mode and the insane push towards micro transactions completely destroys this game, no matter how pretty it is. It has, to my knowledge, the worst in-game economy there ever was, and that's in a game focused on the off-line single player campaign, and sold at a full retail price. Disgusting.

I love Gran Turismo and I’ve been waiting years for this game, I finally got it and it saddened me that the game is heavy on micro transactions, you pretty much need to spend close to $40 dlls to get one of the best cars in the game, I could farm credits but SONY just decreased the amount of credits given per race making it close to impossible to get some of the limited time offers to get legendary cars. Sony fix this I already paid $90 for this game then I get treated like this?

    Also another huge issue is that you have to be online always to play this game, then why I paid for the disc???? Servers went down for more than 24hrs!!! Why? How come I cannot play offline while the server issue gets fixed?

    Sony is dropping the ball big time with GT7 and at this point I don’t recommend this game to anyone.

    Rolling races only and the game forces you to play catchup WHICH IS NOT FUN AT ALL.

    I thought the cafe was going to be some kind of side quest thing. Turns out, it was THE MAIN CAMPAIGN. The game holds your hand way too much during it and there is absolutely no endgame content that lets you use high end cars. They absolutely dropped the ball on this one.

    The world map is a dumb Idea. They should've added an option for cup view like in previous titles.

    Don't get me started on the microtransactions. PD reduced the payouts for races and forces you to grind more. Adding salt to the wound, there's a credit limit of 20 Mil for earned credits but no limit for purchased credits. You can't even sell dupicate cars! There's also a dumb lootbox system but it's really scuffed compared to sport. High end parts are locked behind the lootbox system and can't be purchased in tuneshops unlike in previous titles. I'd be fine with the roulette system if it was like in gt sport where you can ACTUALLY get cars unlike gt7 where they give you 5000 credits 90% of the time.

    And then there's the always online DRM. I was locked out of the game for over 30 HOURS. I was not even able to use my own cars in the arcade races! Overall, this GT was a massive dissapointment with the reduction of quality motivated by greed. I'll just set up my ps2 and go back to playing GT3.

    Good game, too buggy in places, and obviously released too early. But the microtransactions made me suspicious. And the reduction of rewards feels awfully like we’re being shafted.

    If this was a 20 dollar game and have to pay to play. Sure... but i paid well over SGD123 for the anniversary edition to get **** by mircotransactions , "invites" to buy cars that you can't afford unless you purchase credits. And even the credits are not as priced well.

    I purposely bought a PS5 and a Rig to for GT7.
    I have to say... you all need to do a heck alot of goodwill.
    And ffs make offline single player a thing. Why do i have a disc for it everything has to be on a server. Wait i know. So you can track how much CR we are grinding so you can protect your **** mircotransactions.

On a real road course, the type R handles great with no modifications required. The graphics are excellent for the cars and tracks. The people and other aspects are terrifying afterthoughts.

    The campaign is limited and just revolves around trying to take your money. For example it costs more money to upgrade your tires than what you can earn in a single race. The latest update just made it even harder to make money, almost as if they waited for the good reviews before implementing.

    The only big change GT7 created different than previous Gran Turismo titles is the microtransactions. You can either grind hours a day for a week to afford a single competitive car or you can pull out your credit card and pay for it. A car that cost $3 in a previous GT entry now cost $40 real world money. This is after being charged a hefty amount just to download the game. This sucks.

    The game is exceptional in every way. The graphics, gameplay, tracks and soundtrack makes up for a Gran Turismo masterpiece. However, it’s absurdly hard to make credits in-game, forcing you to spend (a lot) of money in micro transactions to get more credits. This game costs $70!!! It shouldn’t have such mechanic. Therefore, I highly advise all not to buy it unless they change it.

    Then update 1.8 came out after 32 hours of downtime - because you can’t play any aspects of the main game if the servers are down - they nerfed the credits for pretty much all the race wins - making any serious supercars unavailable unless you either spend lots of extra monies OR grind the same races again and again, making you ultimately hate those races, as you’ve played them not for the joy of racing, but for the pain of building up credits.

    This was a strategic move for driving more revenue, that has ultimately back-fired in a horrendous way.

    Gran turismo 7 catch up is a bad game. Every single race you are given an overpowered car and have to catch up to the leader with a 30 second gap.

Some of the prize cars are okay, but the game is definitely geared toward MTX, which I have never done. Polyphony says they adjust prices according to market/rarity which is just a cheap ass excuse to push towards buying credits with real money. Let us drive the cars ffs, that's what the game is supposed to be about. Earning the entire collection is a Herculean feat, whereas I owned 1100 cars in GT4 and 700+ in GT 5 and 6.

    The camera alignments, especially behind the car and on the hood are a joke and look like a copy paste. The graphics are certainly not bad, but they have as much to do with next gen as an unripe banana in the freezer. Already the rain effects are a joke. How can a single modder at assetto corsa conjure up hyper-realistic rain effects and Polyphony digital, a 300-strong development team can't manage this?

    Forza 7 has some better textures and lighting effects ingame, a 5 year old game. Then this lie referring to raytracing. This is only available in the menu and in the replays, here the end customer was misled by the marketing.
    The microtransactions weren't mentioned by any game journalists as they weren't included during the initial testing phase, that's cheating and pure guerrilla marketing.

    Even worse are the far too meager races, as GT4 was able to offer multiple times more when it was released. This seems to me to be an arbitrary decision by the developer to stop players from grinding so that more money can flow into the microtransactions, the last patch with the reduced prize money confirms this enormously.

    What has happened to sony and polyphony digital? From such a great service with manageable microtransactions to an artificial money printing machine. How can such a large and renowned company miss the target so far?

Unfortunately this isn’t the case with a relatively short single player campaign (The Cafe) that lacks the variety of events that older GT games had. The license tests are also just a side feature, like missions, that dont interact with the main campaign like older GT games. The biggest complaint I have though is that cars that were normally attainable through regular gameplay are now nearly impossible to save up, requiring the player to grind for 20+ hours due to lack of high paying end game content or the ability to sell any cars. Of course, this is to push people into microtransactions, but even then the pricing is ridiculous. A more proper term would be macrotransactions, with some cars costing more than the game itself. For example the McLaren F1 would cost $185 of real money. Even if the dollar-to-credit ratio was 10x better, I would still seriously consider buying any credits out of fear of encouraging this type of behavior from game developers. Maybe the best GT fans can hope for now is a GT4 release on PSN. As long as GT7 is in this state I would recommend saving your money. Expand

The reason behind the high car prices from the developer is to reflect real world prices, well who in the world would pay 100k for a Nitrous system?! Timed released cars require a large amounts of money and are designed to incorporate micro transactions.
    The car selection is really lacking also. Sure it seems like a lot of cars, but most are are just recycled. They are the same cars but rebranded as rally, police, concept, or different year versions. My actual favorite was the 2019 Supra and the 2020 Supra.
    I was overly hyped for the game because of my love of cars. This game managed to take the toxic side of the car community and pack it into a game. If that was the goal of the game, then they did a great job. I bought this game to relax and drive cars, and escape from the reality that I'll never drive a Bugatti. Now I'm stuck with a game that has boring races, terrible dirt tracks, and no real replay value. More disappointed in this game than cyberpunk, and at least they offered a refund. I didn't take a refund from them, but this game I would. I would rather play a buggy game with heart, than a void experience forcing me to micro transactions. Great job ruining this game after the first patch that was geared towards reducing player economy, than fixing things like dirt maps.

    Gran Turismo 7 is a love letter to motorsport history and an impeccable technical showcase. The franchise's traditional formula gets good improvements, but it's still extremely true to its roots. One of the best racing series ever shines spectacularly on the PS5.
