    Gran Turismo 7 is a good game wrecked by microtransaction hell. I hoped GT would be above this scum baggery.

    ***PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY!!!***

    I was so happy to buy and play this game after seeing some positive reviews on YouTube. This was my first gran turismo game I bought when it released and at first I was happy with what I had but then the game ended out of nowhere and I was left with what seemed a very minimal and diverse amount of races, a lot of very difficult challenges to complete on    ***PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY!!!***

    I was so happy to buy and play this game after seeing some positive reviews on YouTube. This was my first gran turismo game I bought when it released and at first I was happy with what I had but then the game ended out of nowhere and I was left with what seemed a very minimal and diverse amount of races, a lot of very difficult challenges to complete on controller, & extremely predatory micro transactions. I had absolutely no idea that literally 90% of this game is only playable online so if I don’t have a internet connection, I am only limited to barely 10% of what this game has to offer. This wasn’t stated anywhere in the PlayStation store before I preordered and bought the game. On top of this, after the last update where I found out the majority of the game can only be played online, the people at polyfony digital decided to cut literally EVERY single race that was somewhat efficient in making in game money instead of balancing the lesser paying races. This company did all of this purposefully after every review company had posted a favorable review for them & now they r treating their customers as if they were slaves to earn virtual cars in their game. To polygons digital & Sony: this will be the first and last time I ever buy a game within months of it releasing and it might even be the last time I buy a game from ur store ever because this keeps happening across so many games Sony allows on their store. This is heartbreaking for this to happen in gaming, games were supposed to be a haven and now that’s being manipulated and abused. The past couple releases, battlefield 2042, Babylon’s fall, and gran turismo 7 have really made me not want to play games anymore. Wow.    … Expand

    i can only do about an hour a day of racing, kazunori yamauchi says he doesnt want people to be pushed towards microtransactions but it will take me over a month to get the credits required to get just one single legendary supercar... this is so disgusting on top of the always online requirement. terrible game, i wish i could get a refund.

    Die hard GT fan since drooling over magazine previews of the original PS1 game all those years ago. Reducing credit payouts in an update to obviously force players into micro transactions stinks. Polyphony were AAA. A rare 1st party that always hits and knows its player base. Soon enough, it won't have one.

    I thought this was a racing simulator.
    Instead, it is a car ownership simulator.
    The credit system needs to be addressed! I've played several GT versions, and the credit system is way too stingy.

    In a game where you collect cars I will never be able to afford all of the cars available. You also don't get to drive more than 8 cars on split screen for fun with your mates. You have to wait for invitations to buy certain cars, or wait for them to be one of the 4 'in stock' legendary cars, so even if you pay cold hard cash to buy credits you still can't drive whatever you want.

    F*** you Polyphony.30h downtime for a singeplayer, not even a compensation of any kind for this huge downtime and on top of that players now earn LESS credits. That's probably the worst you could have done to your loyal fans. Deleted the game and will demand my money back via Sony.

    Whilst the gameplay may be fun and the graphics may be stunning, unfortunately the game is plagued by microtransactions and their exploitative always-online system. The game has now been nearly unplayable tor the past 36 hours, because they only allow you to play as long as their servers are live, which they have not been.

(Merely a couple of weeks after the release date, impressive)

    Want that lovely vintage Jag? 12 million credits. To put that into perspective, the highest paying race was recently nerfed from 92,500 credits per race to 45,000 credits. If we are to play this track over and over and over to try and obtain this Jaguar, with each race taking approximately 4-5 minutes, you’ll be spending approximately 22 IN-GAME HOURS, DOING THE SAME 5 MINUTE RACE OVER AND OVER, OR UNTIL YOUR BRAIN STARTS LEAKING FROM YOUR NOSTRILS. Or of course, forget those 22 precious hours and spend a mere £96 on 6 x 2 million credit packs costing £16 a piece. Thanks Polyphony!

    Also, what I don’t see being mentioned often is the shocking lack of content. After completing the café, which really at its core makes no sense, you’ve got missions and licenses. All in all this equates to about 20 hours of gameplay and, relative to the cost of the cars, offers very little credits. After you complete these 3 things, the only viable option you have is to play multiplayer, which is littered with idiots who think they’re playing demolition derby instead of participating in an actual race. Found a good lobby at long last? The host will end the lobby after 1 race thanks to the lack of dedicated servers, and apparently the inability to implement (a several decade-old technology) host migration.

    All in all this game has been spoiled by the sheer greed of Sony and/or Polyphony, the disgraceful lack of content and the forceful and exploitative always-online nature of the game (so you don’t, god forbid, find a way to make credits offline)    … Expand

    Can't believe this always-online thing has brought us in 2022! Shame. Gran Turismo might be an inspiring game for some car enthusiasts but the game won't let you play them. So, no point how good or bad the game is.

    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

    Greedy developers, not only for reducing the prizes payment looking to increase microtransactions, but also not giving anything to make up for being offline for almost two whole days. I have preordered the game but I regret it and will not purchase any more products from them again.

    What is going on with this game? Servers are still down after 24 hours and the game in not playable. $70+ for an online only game is ridiculous. Honestly I don't think the fans would mind this If the company would make frequent official announcements of what's going on. But there hasn't been a single word from them except for a tweet 30 hours ago stating an extended maintenance period.

    Been playing GT series for 25 years, even keeping my PS3 to play GT6.

    I hated GT sport. the online only multilayer had no appeal to me, so after I bought it, played it 3 times I realised the single player content was virtually zero so boycotted it and decided to wait for a single player GT7.

    I now own a PS5 and was very excited to see GT7 was being released, so I pre ordered at a cost of around £65.

    I even splashed out on a GR29 and rig... excitement levels were very high, the reviews gave it top marks, graphics looked amazing....

    Got my disc version of the game and attempted an install, I was met with a crazy 98Gb download and a 38hr wait... so after 1 hour I looked on forums and found out if you try and do a disc install whilst online it decides to download it instead... so after I stopped the install, deleted the progress and disconnected internet i managed a 2 hour install from disc...

    I then loaded the game and instantly realised it was online only with only limited music races being accessible offline... oh dear...

    So onto playing it, being an adult with a job and children the time I have to play is limited to a couple of hours here and there, but it all started out like a normal GT game... bloody fantastic gameplay, physics and graphics... playing with a wheel takes some getting used to, but really fun... in menu music is really bad and you cannot select your playlist like GT6, probably due to monetising of the music...

    I started going through the licenses.... noticed i was struggling with any dirt track ones... the demo video showing totally different handling to in game physics... turned out patch 1.06 had messed with the car setup and changed the tyres... i thought that was very odd and had me wondering about how accurate leaderboards are if they can just change settings on a whim...

    So come 17th March and I knew patch 1.07 was coming and would fix the dirt tyre problem... so on I went for a night of GT... nope, online only servers down for 30 hrs because of online only rubbish!!

    Then I find out they've reduced in game credits for races, then I unlock the legendary garage and every car is cr1,000,000... wtf even base cars are massively over priced... then I notice you can buy in game credits with real money...

    I was gutted... it’s meant to be escapism from real life, buy a sorted game and everyone has a fair go at earning credits, progressing and getting cars... so people that grafted for hours in the 1st week get more reward than me for doing the same races… totally unfair.

    I can’t afford nice cars in real life, why would I want to play a game that I can’t afford nice cars either?

    We have been conned by Sony... they released a great game, waited for decent reviews then screw us all for microtransactions by changing the game... it’s a con… this isn’t candycrush, so now it appears we have paid ~£70 for a pay to play online only single player game... I feel like a mug... I want them to refund my game or reward everyone with ALOT of in game credits.

    I hate microtransactions and online games…

    I think I'll stop playing and use my rig with wreckfest instead...

    Reasonably disappointed ... but life goes on... this is just a review to warn others and let Sony know people can ruin their profits with bad reviews when they try and screw us over...

    GT7 (at 80$) is more agressive on MTX than a free cell phone game.
    I have to say, it's not very good.
    I have a T300 and you can't feel the road. You feel the car, but not the road. GT5 and 6 are superior (PS3) when it comes to the wheel (T500). Also not a big fan of the sound of the cars. It's very blend and a far cry from GT4. The coffee guy is a prime example of a dictator. You have    GT7 (at 80$) is more agressive on MTX than a free cell phone game.

    The coffee guy is a prime example of a dictator. You have to do what he says and the report to him after you did it or you can't move forward.
    When games get more open in 2020's,, GT7 decided that it would take the freedom you had from GT1 all the way to GT6 away from you. You can't plan ahead as you don't see the tree of what is coming. The game is micromanaging you.
    For a game that calls itself a "SIM",, I feel like cars all drive kind of the same like if they only built 8 "behavior patterns" and then make them slide more or brake less. It's not really good.
    I have played 30 missions and never had to buy a car, or make an upgrade. Cars are handed to you and don't even need to upgrade tires to win races. I have yet to had to re-do a race to win the race.
    To be transparent, I did skip GT Sports as it didn't have a career mode and maybe that is why I am not blinded by this new GT7 as an upgrade. I still play GT5 on a PS3 and GT6 on a PS3 and for me this GT7 I believe, will not be "IT".

    As for the "ONLINE" racing,, I couldn't care less. I don't play with others. I am old school playing "story" or career.
    On the good side,,, I bought this game as physical copy so, I am probably going to sale it soon. I don't think it has any re-playable value to me.    … 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.
