Players who have already purchased please initiate a joint refund. I like this game very much, although the graphics quality is limited compared to GTS, but the physics engine and control feel have improved significantly. However, there will be very undesired slippage during the game, and slippage occurs more frequently than in the previous game. There is no difference between the photo mode and GTS, basically copy and paste. But after nearly ten hours of playing, I felt more disgusting and couldn't make ends meet. The prize money is much lower than the GTS, and the prize money for completing two or three races is not enough to modify a car. And expensive car maintenance. Not to mention that a large number of cars have significantly increased their prices compared to their predecessors. The price of microtransactions is five times higher than that of the previous game. If you want to buy the car you like in the brand center, it is still a long way off. I've been playing for so long that I can only drive some slow cars that I don't like. And the lottery system is also very ridiculous. I can only draw the worst reward a dozen times in the lottery, which makes me very much doubt that my luck is really so bad? The whole game is simply a poverty simulator. For the GT series, each player has their own favorite way to play. I'm a casual gamer who likes to collect cars and occasionally challenge driving schools and missions. But my gaming experience was completely destroyed by the GT7's design. The 1.08 patch released by Kazuno Yamauchi reduced the prize money of a large number of popular events by more than 50%, making it more difficult for players to buy their favorite cars through the competition prize money, forcing players to buy cars with MTX. The reputation is that players do not want players to GRIND money through individual tracks. But Kazunori Yamauchi, you have to recognize this, I paid $70 to buy the game to support you, and how I want to play the game I bought back is my right and my choice. What qualifications do you have to teach me to do things? What qualifications do you have to halve the already low pitiful race reward to force me to buy your MTX? The GT7 is an absolute semi-finished product, a test water that Sony and Polyphony Digital are greedy for. It destroyed my years of love for the GT series. It doesn't deserve $70, and $20 is too expensive. My request: 1. Revise the economic system. 2. The lottery system is restored to the GTS version. 3. The price of MTX been reduced by 90% and returned to the price of GTS. Expand

    Otro aspecto muy reprochable es el tema de los micro pagos, con prácticas totalmente arbitrarias contra el consumidor, incluso sacaron una actualización dificultando aún más el poder obtener crédito para el juego, obligando en alguna manera a pasar por caja.

    The game was really good at release. After the latest patch, Polyphony Digital have shown they don't care about the gamers and are all about microtransactions.

It's designed for a mouse and keyboard not a controller. The biggest issue is that I paid $150 dollars for a game that at some point during development shifted to a F2P game. The "RNG" is a lie. You will always get the lowest credit option when opening a loot crate as they want you to buy credits with money. You will not make enough money from races to be able to afford any of the legendary cars, as they want you to buy credits with real money. They increased the costs of many in game cars, as they want you to buy credits with real money. All of these changes were made AFTER the "critic" reviews. That's deceptive and honestly I expected better from Polyphony. This WAS a flagship franchise that greed has severely tainted. Expand

Too much restrictions, too many menus, uninspiring career races that all start with rolling starts no matter how good you perform in the polls, need invitations to purchase vehicles...and if you do not have the credits, those invitations expire. Static scenery and lack of animations for anything outside of the vehicle...missing volumetric lightning in some instances and on some tracks... frequent frame drops in training mode and sometimes in Career....lack of freedom with weather customization. The fixed chase cam is Nauseating. Can't look side to side while in chase cam view ...only in cockpit and other camera modes.

    - Always online is ridiculous
    - Lack of events and compelling rewards after the campaign
    -Cars are beautiful but the tracks are dead. No wind of tree animations. Just Stiff
    - Missing so many car manufacturers, as stated above
    - No reasons to do long drives because credit per race is capped at 250k even if it's 24hr long races
    - No mileage points like in GT Sport
    - Can not change cars from in race menus
    - Stupidly integrated the arcade mode into the campaign, while GT Sport had arcade mode on the main menus
    - Too many menus and button clicks to use basic features

    Terrible terrible game. The driving is fine, bur graphically is subpar if it's not the car. Always online. The game didn't work for 30ish hours. Nothing was given as a gift for being unplayable. The race rewards were reduced by like half. Microtransactions are ridiculous. This is a $70 game, but should have been free to play. Avoid.

Once you get some of those top tier race cars you can’t even use them in championships or even created races…

    And ofcourse there are a lot of FOMO techniques to try and make you spend money on micro transactions, which in them selfs are crazy 2mil for 20 euros… In short to buy the mclaren F1 car you’d need to pay 189$ to buy it or race for 32hours straight…

    The basis is there, just add more races and more ways to earn credits, we love a grind, but this is just crazy and seems a pointless attempt at selling MTX…

    Added to that, when the game was offline for 32 hrs, only the arcade races and the music rally where playable… nothing single player related campaign could be played. Due to the always online feature.. and besides a “We’re sorry” no clear explanation, updates or compensation for the downtime.


    Its sad to see, I love the series and the early grind, but once the single player menu is done, the game feels empty… give us more races, Bspec and more ways to earn credits.

    And ofc, let us sell cars or tuning items for cars we don’t own, or don’t wanna own in the near future.

    Sony are turning into a joke, so anticonsumer, a stark contrast to how they were at the start of the PS4 generation. This is a premium priced game wrapped in a scummy free to play model.

    The updates to this game inspired me to make a metacritic account. A few weeks after launch they have increased the prices of the cars to a ridiculous degree. You have to grind the same tracks for hours to earn enough money now. In addition, the game was unplayable for a few DAYS because of some error and you couldn't even play offline.

First of all all of the reviews didn't say anything about microtransactions when I bought this game. As far as I'm concerned when you pay $70 for something you should not have to give additional money and the developer has made it near impossible to earn a decent amount of income inside the game to buy cars without using physical money. They already have $70 of my money and I refuse to spend more money on Virtual cars when I can play other games like Forza horizon 5 and get a bunch of badass cars without paying for them. What's even worse than the micro transactions which were hidden from the initial reviews is that the game has kicked me out the very first time I tried playing it because the server went down I could only play for 20 minutes. Then I couldn't get into the game for about 30 hours because the server was down again when I try to play my second time. I asked Sony for a refund and they denied saying that they would not refund the game because I downloaded it. Of course I downloaded it I had to do that to find out it was broken. They started claiming I could not get a refund because of their policies. I said where in the policy does it say that you can charge me for a broken game and then they told me that I downloaded it therefore it can't be refunded even though the servers have issues and I can't play the game on the two occasions that I tried. Plus the micro transactions that were hidden from initial reviews of the game surprised the hell out of me. I also didn't know this was online only and their servers around reliable. Sony is the worst customer support I've ever seen and I would not recommend this game to anyone. I'll be waiting for the next Forza game on my xbox.

    I get that people feel slighted by the credit changes and I will admit that the outage was probably the not the best time to introduce that, but it doesn’t detract significantly from my enjoyment of the game. It’s still the same beautiful racing masterpiece that it was before the update. Sure, it will take a few more races/credits to purchase the more expensive cars, but that could also prevent us from growing bored of the game sooner by obtaining them more easily. Prior to the update, I was pretty impressed with how quickly I was earning credits with minimal effort anyway.

    People worked incredibly hard to make this game as good as it is, and it’s impossible to deliver something that is flawless and pleases everyone. Leadership may not have had the best judgement in this situation, but it doesn’t completely negate the majority of what makes this game great. Prior to the release of this game, I only owned a PS3 that I barely used 2-3 times a year to play GT6. GT7 was the reason I purchased a PS5, and it has reignited my passion for the series and gaming in general.

    Looking forward to many more years of fun with GT7.

    With that said, Sony and Polyphony changed the reward balance and added microtransactions a few weeks after the reviews were printed. The implementation is highly abusive and encourages players to spend money at nearly every corner.

    They installed a player base and flipped the script a few weeks later. Consumers have every right to be angry. Reviewers have every right to be angry. Remember, folks. Before you purchase that $40 vehicle, you’re not purchasing a tangible asset. When Sony shuts off the servers a decade from now, you’re going to lose everything you “invested”.
