Then they had to go **** the entire thing up by cutting the races payouts I was using to build my confidence and car library in half or more. It looks like pure greed. The last GT I spent any time playing was GT4 I was really looking forward to a return to form.

    Good
    The base game is solid.
    Bad
    Worst handling of customers criticism of low payout with micro transactions I have ever seen.
    Ugly
    Cutting best money grind first instead of adding the new content then slowly rebalancing.

    Priceless
    Using an AFK scripted money grind for easy credits to shove a middle finger at the whole micro-transaction thing.

    Thank you very much, Sony, for taking this garbage from my library and returning the money.

    Heavily over-priced micro transactions given this is a £70 game, not free to play.
    Pathetic rewards, presumably to drive players to the shop for credits - which are horrendously overpriced.
    Dirt/Rally is truly abysmal - not sure how on earth this passed Quality Assurance.
    Cafe Menu system is too linear and makes me feel like im playing a car collecting game rather than a racing game.

    The cost of micro transactions is unbelievable, some cars cost over $200. Super disappointed in the live service direction this game went.

    Polyphony, are you serious? Bought the game for 80€ and then you come up with online compulsion, microtransactions and profit reduction? I would love to give it back and keep playing GT Online, which is just as bad.

    Microtransactions are a joke for a $70 game. When will companies realize that they’re ultimately going to drive players away from their IPs for a few quick bucks?

    This game is not what It should be, It was so closed to great but was ruined by Greed!!! Microtransactions!!! No one wants them. I already paid 70$ for this game, now they want my whole paycheck!!! Can't sell cars despite the game being described as a simulation and last time I checked in real life we can sell our cars. Waste

    Un jeu frustrant qui mérite une sanction ! C’est insupportable de voir que Sony, en tant que leader, cherche à sucer l’argent des gens, quitte à gâcher un jeu avec du potentiel ! Je me suis lassé en une semaine ! Les prix vertigineux des voitures et leur si faible quantité, notamment les vieilles, c’était décourageant !!

Reading the critic reviews (before release and sh*tty surprise patch) I was pretty excited about this release and was fully ready to buy this game on release. Fortunately, I had waited a bit (thanks Elden Ring) before making the purchase and got to see their true intentions with the game. Damnit. This behavior makes me so sick. I have been conditioned to accept free-to-play games can get away with this but a full-priced game that costs over 5K USD to buy all the cars?! You can't charge a player 60 dollars to play your game *then* charge them to enjoy the game. 0/10, will not touch with a yard stick. Expand

    I gave it a 1 because it made a really good $70 frisbee when I chucked it out the front door all the way past my neighbor’s neighbors house in his backyard across the street.

    Utter BS. I’ve been playing Forza Horizon 5 waiting for this. I’m going back to Forza games. I can’t even put into words how long I waited for this game only to be updated into crap. Keep the money. I’ll never

    It's a fun game with great graphics and really satisfying gameplay. It has the racing experience I wanted out of a Gran Turismo game.

    As a very long fan since the original, this is truly heartbreaking. The massive greed that is on display with micro transactions is not only disgusting, but a slap in the face for people like me that spent 100 Canadian dollars on this F2P game.

    Yet another grind heavy, cash stingy racing sim from Polyphony.

    Poly just don't get it, we don't want to grind for days on end just to win some small measly pittance amount of cash.

    Don't forget the Always Online issue, we all saw how that can end when the servers went down, plus it $ucks for off-line solo users.

    I have always been a fan of the GT titles so I preordered GT7. I wish I hadn't wasted my money and saved myself the disappointment. It could have been such a good game. The racing feel is solid but there are so many negatives I can't rate it any higher than a 2!

    The good bits: - the graphics - the driving feel - the scenery & tracks - the controller feel The bad bits: - Microtransactions
    I have always been a fan of the GT titles so I preordered GT7. I wish I hadn't wasted my money and saved myself the disappointment. It could have been such a good game. The racing feel is solid but there are so many negatives I can't rate it any higher than a 2!

    The good bits:
    - the graphics
    - the driving feel
    - the scenery & tracks
    - the controller feel

    The bad bits:
    - Microtransactions (feels like the game was built around the free to play model but they charge full price for it anyway)
    - the "cafe menu" system of unlocking things (not inherently bad but you NEED to modify cars to win the races, this obviously costs credits which eats into your winnings quite a bit)
    - the race setup, basically no races have a grid start meaning it turns from a race into a "catch up to the top 3 and get ahead" in 99% of cases. The races are clearly set with 3/4 ability groups of AI in a single race so 80% of the AI cars just get in the way rather than being challenging. You can't qualify for races so in a "championship" you ALWAYS start in last place, the other cars seem to start and end in the same place EVERY time. - Online only single player. Just why?!
    - The AI, some AI drive well, others drive like grannies and brake heavily at random points, take stupid lines and force you off track. This makes it even more annoying when you get a +50% credit bonus for clean races and you lose it because a random AI slams the brakes on in front of you for a gentle corner that doesn't even need brakes... - the "roulette tickets", in theory you can win cars, parts and credits by completing daily mileage and "cafe meus". Out of the probably 30 I have received, I have won the minimum credit reward/basic part for a random car 29 times out of 30. The only time I haven't I just won the slightly higer credit value. So basically it seems to be so heavily weighted towards the lower end I'd rather they just didn't bother. (again going back to the microtransactions feel, "look at the cool cars you could have") - the economy. They brought back used cars but charge loads for them. New cars, if they're good they charge loads. Desirable cars and iconic cars, they charge loads. Basically ANY decent car costs way too much, 99.9% sure this is because of the microtransactions model. I'm sure I could add more to this but anything else just seems excessive.

    I was looking forward to GT7 after GT Sport but it has been such a massive disappointment. I wish I had waited to see reviews before buying, I'd buy it again if it was at least 50% less than RRP but I definitely wouldn't at anywhere near full price.

    I can't see how this can be redeemed any time soon. It's core is flawed with everything aimed at microtransactions and I can't see it's model being redesigned any time soon.

    Save your money and save the disappointment.

    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.
