    It’s sad when such a well know triple A games gets involved with this micro transaction Bull. Literally sucks the enjoyment out of playing.

    The update just like a joke. We paid for the game, and wait for your update over a day, you just cut half of the award in the game for the update? So you just want us to know that if you can’t afford to buy a real car, you can’t afford the car in the game either? So realistic! The game just want us to pay the real money more and more, right? What a great job

    A mediocre game, made worse by the mandatory internet connection and how expensive the cars are to acquire via credits, simply disappointing

    You need to earn invitations to buy cars, by spinning a dumb roulette, another clear gambling mechanic. Some cars could cost you 200$ real money to buy. Yes that is not a typo, two hundred real world dollars so you can drive a virtual car.

    With a single installment, they killed a 25 year old franchise.

    Can't even refund because it is a digital copy, and PS Store just denies it, because we downloaded the game. Yes, simply starting the download of a game denies you any chance of refund, even when the game is not working properly with 30+ hours dowtime in a row.

    Will never purchase again.

    I thought I bought a racing game. Instead I bought a platform for mtx. Greed toke over at PD and Sony. Had all the versions in the past, but this is my last one, both the game and console.

    Abysmal game! Been with GT since the start and other than the graphics gameplay this just isn’t GT. Pathetically short almost non-existent career mode and the entire game is trying to force you towards micro transactions. Game is either unfinished or woefully designed or a combination of both! Totally regret buying it now!! Polyphony Digital you’re a joke!

    Update 1.11 has fixed MOST of economy issues in game by increasing by 100% in most events. The economy of GT7 was easily the biggest problem at release. I’ve given it a 7, because there is still work to be done and will update my score as the fixes come in.

    Some things I’d like to see are the ability to change settings after setting up an online lobby, higher payouts for online lobbies, modes for online lobbies.. it would be cool to have a drag mode, drift mode, roulette fixed for better chances to get good rewards, and finally, new cars and tracks.

    screw you sony CEO for making this game heavy in microtransaction. And I hope any gamer must boycott their games and pirate them via emulator or hacking until they change the management and policy.

    Not worth the money by far the worst gran turismo so far can’t even play solo if server is down and race payouts have been lowered and price for cars has gone up as a way for developers to be able to make more money from micro transactions. Also story mode is super short.

    I cannot give this game a better score because 9f the needles always online coercion in single player modus. Duo to the online coercion and update coercion in Single player they can and have adjust prices and micro transactions. Thats the reason why the 1st day reviews much better than later reviews.

    With consoles costing more and games now costing more they still want more money from you. What greed.

    It’s been a really long time since something was this disappointing. Limited single player mode, forced always online, cars too pricey, and continually making changes to force people into micro-transactions.

    Yamauchi's policy as the designer of this game is very nonsense. Users want car modeling and behavioral reality, not expensive pricing or billing.
    Yamauchi is, after all, a person who can't make something like a car simulator, and we would never recognize him as a game designer. He cancels game events or is unreliable because he is likely to miss the plane. I'm not going to buy anything

    I specifically made an account to voice my complaints here, along with all the other gamers. Let me start by apologising to most of the ladies and gentlemen at Polyphony Digital that have invested so much into what started as a true work of art, only to be let down by their peers and higher-ups. The parts of this game that do work, are phenomenal and blow the competition out of the water.I specifically made an account to voice my complaints here, along with all the other gamers. Let me start by apologising to most of the ladies and gentlemen at Polyphony Digital that have invested so much into what started as a true work of art, only to be let down by their peers and higher-ups. The parts of this game that do work, are phenomenal and blow the competition out of the water. Sadly though, after going through the (very short!) Cafe campaign, there is a handful of missions to do and that’s it - the game comes to a complete halt. I was entirely through the campaign in just 4 days. They clearly cut content to drip-feed us later, not only was this proven but it also feels like that to the player. The graphical downgrades are a big letdown, especially since it didn’t improve performance at all (interestingly, performance actually seems to have worsened, on a PS5 mind you!).

    Let’s just adress the elephant in the room here; payout nerfs and extreme push towards mtx in this game have stooped to a lower level than I’ve ever come across before, and we’ve had quite a few disastrous game launches in recent years! The way GT7 is setup is an utter disgrace, and there will be a very long path to win back the faith of your loyal players. The ones responsible (I’m not sure who ultimately called these shots) should be absolutely ashamed. The fact there has been radio silence for so long on the matter is making things far worse still. Sony, PD, whoever is reading: this will NOT blow over - we will NOT back down. You will NOT get away with this and will absolutely pay for these mistakes dearly.

    This is a suitable balance for how distasteful companies treat customers at this point.

    With the path this game is on it is not worth playing in the least bit. Forza (series) has won me over bar none, come to racing games. I was super hyped for GT7, but they obviously favor microtransactions over anything and proceeded to make the game online only for single player career modes, and made it even more grindy. No thank you im good.

    First problem : need to be online for a 90% solo gameplay. With the previous maintenance problem, that's a shame to buy a game and can't play it. And now : they're decreased the in game rewards to avoid the players to farm the same race... but how can we earn credit ??? Ah yes, cashplay of course. For a 80€/$ game. No, thanks

    Yes, they've announced a upcoming patch to fix some things many people are complaining about. Too little too late in my opinion.
    Kaz has basically confirmed that we all payed >$70 to be beta testers for a buggy piece of sh!t.

    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.
