    This is poor Gran Turismo! You cost us ingame currency and time! Your price policy is aweful! The game worked perfect on the first day for me… now after the update can’t drive the competitions and now couldn’t even complete the the stuff.. Gran Turismo Will you be granting all players free credits for the inconvenience? Not able to

Gran Turismo Will you be granting all players free credits for the inconvenience? Not able to play, do my daily miles or earn credits after a hard day at work! Always had GT on release and very dissapointed with it!

    Instead of rising the credits you win for a race they lowered it?! SERIOUSLY?!

    Currently unplayable as the servers have been down now for 2 days. For a AAA game that sells consoles for Sony its not great, but my biggest issue is the predatory behaviour in pushing MTX towards people. Credits for purchasing cars have been nerfed despite already being the lowest in any GT entry.

For a AAA game that sells consoles for Sony its not great, but my biggest issue is the predatory behaviour in pushing MTX towards people. Credits for purchasing cars have been nerfed despite already being the lowest in any GT entry. No one has the time to grind out for 20 million in game credits to buy the dream car they can't actually afford in real life so the solution for Polyphonic/Sony is the offer of 2 million credits for £16 via MTX? People didn't buy/pre order a full price AAA game to be forced to play the game like a second job just to be able to drive the cars they can't afford in real life. I understand grinding sometimes but at the current economy set up engaging players on FOMO with limited digital stock of cars on a timer and potentially being short on in game credits, they are pushing for people to shell out for additional cash. For a game that already cost £70? The bait and switch pulled on MTX has left a bitter taste in many fans mouths as MTX were only implemented on launch day, after all the reviews had already come out. Furthermore there is a half-baked single player campaign that is extremely short and ends very abruptly. The campaign rewards you with cars for chasing down a linear rail of cars driven by a brain dead AI. However the cars that are rewarded can't be sold for in game credits like previous titles so you are stuck with a cluttered garage. Further evidence of predatory practices pushing players towards MTX can be seen in the trophy list as there is a trophy for purchasing the same car 10 times. The roulette system to win big ticket items is heavy skewed towards the lowest winnings and its completely random if you win a 1* to 6* ticket from the daily workout. There are very few new additions to cars in the roster at present and very few races for single player enjoyment. For a single player designed GT game it is currently abysmal, the online focused GT Sport from PS4 has more single player content and is better polished. Seriously disappointed in this numbered entry and surprised that the 'Games as a Service' model has been allowed to operate in such a barebones, blatant cash grab fashion. Expand

    Terrible payouts, impossible to play without micro transactions, servers down for more than 24 hours only a week after release. Cannot play single player without internet connection, or when servers are down. Bugs preventing game progression etc etc

    Avoid if you haven’t bought already

    Don't buy this game. Especially after the statement from Kaz (Polyphony boss) which basically defended their decisions to monetise the game as much as possible. Didn't even get any sort of in-game credit compensation or anything after the entire game was broken for over a day!

    I can't imagine a buyout game that still can't log in after 24 hours of maintenance. In addition, your first consideration is not to improve the user experience, optimize online play, Instead, first consider how to force players to recharge into the game. I am really, very disappointed.

    I played it for 2 hours, then it went dark. Cannot get a refund from Sony either.

    I will sell my ps5 and rely on my far superior pc and xbsx.

    Pathetic display. Not only MTX ruining the overall experience, but a downtime of 24+ hours without any communication is just unacceptable.

    Offline for over 24 hours, nerfing races that actually had half decent payout even though was already Grundy is absolutely ridiculous.

    Blatant Cashgrab only shown after the review-phase. Now you know why it's always online, to sell you ingame currency for real cash while "adjusting" the playable ingame rewards , disgrace and should be grounds for refund.

    El juego se puede jugar exclusivamente con conexión a internet, los Server llevan más de 24 horas caído y no se puede jugar. Además es un PaytoWin es decir de simulación/ competicion tiene poco. Han nerfeado las recompensas. Es decir va directo al fracaso. Gráficos y físicas mediocres en comparación con otros títulos... Un desastre!!!!!!!

    I was 13 when the the 1st game came out in 1997 on PS1 and I salute everyone who worked on these titles for making milestones in racing game and motorsport history. The Impact you left is very special to millions of people over several generations. That alone is pure art.

    BUT this is to much now. I quite! The buyer does not OWN the game anymore!!! This "buy everything as a service" and

    BUT this is to much now. I quite! The buyer does not OWN the game anymore!!! This "buy everything as a service" and "you will own nothing and be happy"-mentality we are drifting into as a world wide society is going crazy! Mad crazy! And people are slowly but way to late starting to not take it anymore.

    1. I pay a full game price for offline singleplayer experience and still get forced to be online 24/7 for 90%+ of the game contents. I know tracking and data collecting means $$$ but come on! Thats shady and criminal!

    2. Earning money to buy the cars is made artificially harder due to up to -50% lower in-game price money. In-game purchases is what we are bullied into. Micro transactions my ass! This is god damn gran turismo not some scum ebay offering.

    3. We cant sell/trade/share cars as it used to be to get money or just as a present for friends and family. How more unsocial can it get?

    All these marketing tricks and false shady communication to reduce "cheating". Boy does your PR spin doctor maybe suffer from alzheimer? Me and millions of other players and fans of the series are done with this until this is changed.

    P.S.: Oh and how dare you to not put back Monaco / Côte d'Azur track after almost 10 years since it was gone?

    Juego que obliga a estar siempre online, aun que sea para jugar un solo jugador, mantenimientos tediosos que ocupan mas de 24h, micro transacciones para poder conseguir coches de alta gama ya que se han reducido las recompensas por ganar carreras, nada recomendable, la muerte de gran turismo.

    Long may it fall! Maybe Sony/PD will take note.
    I will happily alter my rating if they fix this "always online" issue with credit system and microtransaction push.

    Game was changed from a nice relaxing sim racer to a disgusting pay to win tactic. Single player campaign must be always connected to wifi in order to be played even tho the store states that online play is OPTIONAL. Best example of the greed todays developers have. Avoid this game at all costs.

    I can't play since 1,5 days because the developers thought it would be a good idea to make the game only playable online. And because they can't manage to release a patch that works, not a single person in the world can play anymore... It's an 80€ full price title ... welcome to the year 2022

    They nerfed the only races that actually paid out reasonably ($100k per 4-5 minutes when they have $12-$20 million cars. I grinded the same one track for 8 hours just to afford one of the more expensive cars)… now that track is like $15k. They’re pretty pay-to-win heavy on pushing the microtransactions.

    Microtransactions are always pushed in your face. You never have an experience of a full AAA title, but a meager mobile game at best. Dissapointing to say the least.

    I love this game. But I agree with other players. Game requires always online for single player. I didn't know it until I can't play the game !!

    And it's a shame !! Please don't condone this

    @Polyphony Digital @Sony Remove required login and review abusive micro-transactions please !

    I was not really caring about the always on requirement, but was slightly irritated. Especially for a "real" Gran Turismo which I will definitely play alone 99% of the time it's totally useless.

    Now the GT7 servers are down for such a long time, I'm totally pissed not being able to do ANY race at all...

    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.
