    Wow, this must be a bad joke. Always on is bad enough, the ingame prices were bad enough before Patch 1.07/1.08 but the statement of kaz is a punch in the face. I hate myself for preordering this game now and i am a fan of this series from Part 1. My heart hurts.

    GRAN TURISMO 7 is a thin and weak CAREER DLC for GT Sport, with the higher graphics power of the PlayStation 5. Unfortunately this is not a real innovation. I don't mind the slow credit progress, or the microtransactions. What's piss me of, is the lack of real innovation in this product!!! The actual career mode (Café) is pretty short.

The actual career mode (Café) is pretty short. In some areas GT7 looks a few generations older game. For example; the Cafe owner, and the e-sport GT players (basically every character in the game), are communicating with us across a simple text bubble. Seriously??? Like on the original playstation 1. back in time. But for me it's not nostalgic at all, it is embarrassing, pathetic and lazy! In 2022 at least need to be a voice narration! It's mandatory. Not a simple text to read.
    Or interactive videos! That's how you do it. But text? So disappointing! My wishlist for GT7 features looks something like this: Dynamic time changes, Dynamic weather changes, Faster Ai, Yearly seasons in tracks (winter, autumn, ect), Improved penalty system, Custom offline championships (so much potential!), Voice messages in races, and in the menus too, to feel the characters alive. Fully customizable and mapable HUD!!! Proper race weekends, with qualifications. Game data out via UDP! As you see most of them still missing, nevertheless most of them doesn't require to much work from the developers... For example; customizable championships, HUD, or UDP data out is a simple one. ... oh, and the music rally or what the heck, is ridiculous     … Expand

    Microtransactions in a £70 grindy game. Automatic 0/10. The game itself ain't bad but these are some of the worst microtransactions I've ever seen and the fact that the developers are okay with this and think it's the way forward makes me want to vomit.

    They really know how to take the fun out of racing. After playing it for several hours, the campaign is bare bones and mediocre, the licenses are incredibly strict with some being impossible.

    GT7 looks and plays like a launch PS4 game at best. Ray tracing is a waste of time as it is only present in non gameplay features such as post race replays. The game also has a huge content problem and is polluted with not so micro-transactions for cars around up to $40 that used to be $5 in previous games.

    Sorry but the micro-transactions are just rediculous. The game in the whole is pretty good. But the grind or cost of getting all the cars has ruined the game.

    Un excellent Gran Turismo et pourtant, le changement des règles du jeu pour forcer à la micro-transaction, UN MAXIMUM de 20.000.000 de crédit « gratuits » dans le portefeuille !!! Pour augmenter cette limite il faut PAYER 109€ d’argent RÉEL !!!
    Ce jeu est une ARNAQUE !!! Un SCANDALE !!! Il entache l’image de GT, de SONY et du jeu vidéo !!!!!
    UNE HONTE !!!!!!!

    I have been gaming for 32 years. I have bought every GT release ever, including all the prologues, specs etc. So I am a big GT lover. This game has been the one game above all else that I have been the most excited for.

    For the first 2 weeks, the game was a joy to play, and I was bemused by the complaints of other gamers. Visuals, sound, car physics etc are all top work. No complaints here at all.

    However, it becomes crystal clear when you are progressing through the Cafe mode, that the big thing in this game, is the microtransactions and the lack of the GT campaign. After the Cafe mode, which is a forced car collection, there is no GT campaign mode as you have in previous games. There is no section that lists the Amateur, Beginner, professional etc races. No menu where you can jump into the Sunday Cups, or the FF/FR Challenges etc.

    Gran Turismo without its campaign mode, and an easy way to jump into competition races, is absolutely abhorrent. This should have been made perfectly clear to us before buying the game.

    As you play the Cafe mode, you get roulette tickets for completing certain aspects - the roulette tickets are then an RNG encounter that is heavily, and I mean HEAVILY weighted to give you the lowest reward possible, and then IMMEDIATELY prompts you to buy credits from PSN. I am talking situations where there are 5 rewards, for example a race car, 500k credits, a engine swap, 1million credits, 5k credits. I have yet to receive any cars, any car parts, any gold bars. For every ticket, it has been the lowest credit reward. Reading social comments, this is the same for a large chunk of players.

    But it is ok, because you can sell your cars that you ha......oh no. Wait. Nope. Despite the PSN description saying it, and despite it being in GT games forever, you cannot sell your cars for credits. The push for MTX is sickening.

    But that isn't it.

    PD are that intent on forcing the MTX, that just yesterday they pushed an update which slashed the credits received for a load of races you select by navigating to the track selector. They did this because gamers were playing one track over and over to get credits, as the game as very little way of rewarding you.

    This update killed the game by the way, and as of writing this some 24 hours later, it is still broken. PD want this game online only as they are concerned about credit trading and hacking, so this £70 game is now useless when they are broken their end. (still cant play now)

    Playing the game naturally doesn't give the user the credits as they approach the end of the Cafe. In order for the player to gain new cars, aside the daily mileage rewards, there literally is nothing presented to the player. You can't jump into a menu with the competitions in as one doesn't exist. If you want to do a race that was in the Sunday Cup for example, you have to go to the track world, select one of the 3 world areas, then go through each track and select it, and then check what event it is used for, then select the event you want. Crazy navigations.

    When we saw the trailers, you see CGI of race weekends, with the trucks and trailers and pit crews etc. As of menu book 37 in the Cafe mode, there has been 1 race with standing starts, and 0 with tyre wear or fuel usage, and 0 with pit action.

    There are more things I could mention but I just don't have the effort in me to trash the GT name anymore. I am not angry, even though I should be. I am sorely disappointed that a franchise such as GT has been allowed to become a cesspool of MTX. There has been 0 thought here about how the player will feel with this aggressive push towards buying credits.

    The maddening thing, is that the game has all the ingredients there to be a superb racing game ; but they have thrown up a wall of MTX to halt the players progress in the hope they will use their credit card.

    This game has been deleted off my system, and unless there is a huge overhaul of this game, the GT franchise is now dead to me.    … Expand

    You will pay 80€ for something you can play only when their servers are working.
    Moreover, the game is designed to push micro-transactions despite paying a AAA full price.

    I was really enjoyed when GT7 was launched.

    But then... What a surprise... Huge lack of content : - No races for cars with PP upper than 800 (So what are we supposed to do with the most powerful cars ? Just take pictures ?) - No rally championships - No formula one championships - No endurance races And... Let's talk about the credits... Most expensive car is 20 Millions and    I was really enjoyed when GT7 was launched.

    And... Let's talk about the credits... Most expensive car is 20 Millions and with the best race in terms of credits/hour you can earn approximately 1.6 Million / hour, meaning for a single car you have to farm 12 complete hours, and do more than 200 times the same race... Crazy

    But... It seems that Polyphony Digitals really want us to use micro transactions in their game because they decided in the last update to reduce the credits earned... So by now you need to do the same race 400 times... Or buy 20 Millions credits for 200$... Fine...

    It's a real shame because this game has a huge potential but for the moment it seems the Studio is more interesting in making money than making Customer Satisfaction.    … Expand

    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.
