    Did not expect a Sony game to be full of microtransactions like GT7! You barely get any in game currency.

    Great driving experience. TERRIBLE user experience. Requires always online even for single player, and Sony have changed the race payouts AFTER reviews came out to make micro-transactions far more important than at launch. AWFUL business practices which should not be rewarded. DO NOT BUY until Sony have removed the always-online requirement and have restored race payouts to be fairer. GameGreat driving experience.

    Extremely predatory micro transactions and an always online requirement that stops you from playing even the single player mode when you (or the game's servers for that matter) are offline.

    But how bad are these business practices really? First off, the credit pay out in the game is often rather low and the cars are extremely expensive - up to 12 million credits. Grinding for that amount of credits in game will take many hours of the same boring events on repeat. The recent patch (1.07) only made grinding money in the game harder by lowering pay outs even more. Sony wants you to spend real money on credits. But even here the prices are absurd. A 12 million credit car translates to roughly 120 Dollars - and that's for a SINGLE car. To make matters worse, the game has many FOMO systems that try to push you to spend money quickly. Several of the cars in the game can only be obtained for a limited time, either because the shop's stock rotates or because you got an "invitation" to buy a car that has an expiry date. So you often have only a day to buy that 5 million credits car you want, leaving you with three equally unattractive options:
    1) Spend the entire rest of the day slaving away and trying to grind the money for 9 hours straight only to perhaps not make it in time after all
    2) spend 50 real Dollars to buy the car instantly
    3) wait weeks or months until the car goes on sale again

    This is by far the most predatory microtransaction system I've ever seen in a non-mobile game and Sony should be ashamed.    … Expand

    Thanks Polyphony Digital for patch 1.07. Add a miner mode to the game so that the player does real work to buy cars for real prices. This is absurd!

    A mostly single player game, from a series that has been mostly single player focused since its inception, cannot and should not ever have an always online requirement, especially it is implemented with the sole purpose of forcing ludicrous monetization on players who have paid full price for the game. There is no way to play off the disc with the console off-line to earn credits properly as the game locks you out of content unless you are online and up to date to its latest patch. Absolutely unacceptable. I returned my disc for a refund and I am hoping there might be an attorney out there who loves GT and decides to do a class action lawsuit for the dishonest, shady and anti consumer garbage Polyphony and Sony have pulled with this game so they’ll have to rethink continuing with this garbage and going down this path with other games going forward.    … Expand

    Leaving aside all of the micro-transactions/ripping off/always online tactics, what really disappointed me about this game is that after 25 years, it's still more or less the same: no car damage or punishment for driving poorly; no realistic driving physics; no customization of your car exactly the way you want to; if you want to customize anything, be prepared to spend a lot of in gameLeaving aside all of the micro-transactions/ripping off/always online tactics, what really disappointed me about this game is that after 25 years, it's still more or less the same: no car damage or punishment for driving poorly; no realistic driving physics; no customization of your car exactly the way you want to; if you want to customize anything, be prepared to spend a lot of in game and real money; still the same old, boring, dumb, safe and cautious AI that races in a straight line and never seriously challenges you. Same old race tracks (remember in GT4 where you raced down the streets of NYC and Paris?); can't customize your own tracks and races; can't select, change, customize the music like you used to be able to as you have to use Spotify if you want to import your own music; lots of lame, useless gimmicks that don't add any value like the JRPG style dialog boxes. One can go on with how disappointing it is that Polyphony Digital/Sony hasn't really changed or grown with the times other than follow EA's lead as far as nickel and diming gamers and long time fans for money and offering nothing in return. A lot of the cool and interesting things that were introduced in 4-Sport have been removed.
    Go for Assetto Corsa or Forza Horizon instead if you want a real and much better racing, innovative, simulator experience that doesn't try to rip you off and give you mediocrity in return. The Gran Turismo franchise is done.    … Expand

    There are a few NO-GO's that are part of the game:
    - Physical Copy/Game on Disk is not playable after installation without patches (Useless Copy)
    - OnlineDRM all the time, for all Parts of the game! = SinglePlayer isn't really playable offline.
    - More than 30hours of GT Online Server downtime, short after release (because of a broken patch) ment a complete dead game, no SinglePlayer/Offline gaming ability.
    - Sh..t load of Microtransactions in a Full-Price Title!
    - Game was patched after Release with huge negative changes around Campaign Actions, and Race Events with increased car costs and deacreased Winning Race money to push Microtransactions even more in the focus!

    Many of these things are usually strategic company descisions and not developers faults, so I don't wanna blame everyone about this. I also agree with many comments here. This Game now, with all the relevant and negative changes to the game for Players, feels like (and should be) a free2play title. Instead they wan't to steal your money twice, out of your pocket! Really... SHAME ON YOU!

    Conclusion (for the moment):
    Don't support this! Share your thoughts! Open your month and fight against these kinds of methods or it might become the new/next definition of "Standard" for upcoming Gaming Releases.    … Expand

    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.
