    Ok, firstly after reading a lot of these so called “feedbacks” it’s clear there a lot of Forza players in disguise. I remember when the original Gran Turismo launched on the old faithful PS1. It was incredible. With car models never seen before in a game, or at least a fist to me.

    Each release has improved immensely over the years, with the exception of GT Sport which I agree felt a little empty with content.
    However, GT 7 is incredible. The graphics are superb and the racing is absolutely brilliant and the most fun I’ve had on a racing sim for years. The attention to detail on the cars, reflections and circuits is astonishing.
    Now, a quick jump back to the original GT on the PS1. I remember spending literally DAYS grinding the game to save enough credits to buy certain cars. That’s the enjoyment of the game, or any game isn’t it? I want to race on a racing game, that’s kind of why I bought it? It’s no secret that all developers are using micro transactions in all types of games! Even a pre-order is a micro transaction dangling the carrot in front of people to pay a bit more to get a little extra. I’ve been playing GT 7 for over a week and have felt no need whatsoever to even consider buying credits for real money. The fact they are there does not annoy me in the slightest. The fact I can literally get every car in the game by playing the actual game is what I thought people realised when purchasing. For anyone really complaining just think about it, race cars, win races and grind for the credits. Don’t be upset because you can’t be bothered to grind and want to fast track but can’t because you don’t agree with the cost of micro transactions. The game is truly awesome for anyone reading these reviews. Ignore the majorly critical reviews or take it with a pinch of salt. ✌    … Expand

And lets have a look what we got in return for being a fan an supporter of the gt games. 1st single player campaign need a online connection, and for what reason? So we got a bull**** story of they need to protect the safe files from cheaters. Now surely it is not rocket sience to just make 2 seperate safe files. one for those that want to enjoy the single player content and one for those that want to play online.

    2nd, after a game breaking update 1.07 we all could not play the game, not even the single player content. To make matters even worst is that this update is to cut the race credits rewards for winning a race.

    3rd, when review copies was given to the critics for review, those nasty micro transactions was hidden, got some good reviews and then boom, in is the micro transactions. so basically they are trying to force us to buy cars with real money. Who will be so crazy to buy 1 car for $40???

    Being a loyal supporter of sony and polophony digital, right from the beginning when gt 1 was on ps1, it looks like its time to move on. The one thing that sony allways had over xbox is exclusives, now they are starting to mess up their exclusives. We....... the loyal fans of Sony sould not stand for this nonsens, This game is a greedy cash grab. Xbox is making all the right moves, sony all the wrong ones. I got this game on ps4, and was 100% sure to get a ps5. Sony get your act together and soon, other wise it will be off to the xbox side for me, and hopefully many other sony fans.    … Expand

    Micro transactions make it too grindy for credits. They went as far as to nerf the races that you could actually get credits on.

    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 !!!

    Mandatory online connection for the single-player campaign means they can royally **** over the game and your access to it whenever they damn well please. And it gets way, way worse when you peel back the layers and discover just how much they've rigged this game to push microtransactions. But that online requirement means THEY decide how and when you can play the game, not you.

    Le système de micro transaction est à revoir, maj qui favorise les transactions en argent nuisant au gameplay et bloquage du jeu pendant des dizaines d'heures.
    Je mets malgré tout 1point car un travail a été fait sur le jeu ( graphisme, sensation, manette dual sensé etc )

    The game was ok when launched, but the "always online" system is a joke. Then we received a poorly tested update which resulted in being unable to play the game for 32 hours.

    I have completed all Menu Books, gained each licence, nearly completed all the missions and I keep going back in. Hopefully get all gold soon!

    The online only thing is a bit drag, and to be honest it is the only reason I'm not giving it a 10. The server downtime when 1.07 was released was a kick in the teeth, but it was working flawlessly for me prior and since.

    With regards to the micro transactions, while they are there, they are not presented in an invasive way (like your pointer doesn't default to click on it or anything) and although I don't like "pay to win"platforms, the easiest way around it (and to send the message) is to not support it.

    The in game grind isn't such a big issue, even since patch 1.08. I have mainly been sticking to the Trial Mountain Cup which is roughly 10 minutes, four laps of Trial Mountain and an easy win as there is no PP limit. Provided you race cleanly, you'll walk away with $100K every 10 minutes or so.

    Online seems to be great fun also, but there are some shocking drivers out there!

    Anyway, I really enjoy it and I think most others would also if they look past all the needless raging.    … Expand

    This used to be my favorite game. I even liked GT sport. I think $5 cars with the ability to win cars is fair.

    Y’all went full EA on this one. You can do microtransactions fairly or you can gouge the gamers and force them into bad situations. Guess which one you chose.

    Gran Turismo 7 has a lot of good and plenty of great. The use of DualSense and the particularly well-tuned loading is exemplary, and there's a huge amount of work behind the game, with a lot of detail that's almost hard to believe at times. [Issue#318]

    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. This is the best Gran Turismo experience we have ever seen in a long time.

    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.
