    I find it hard to make money in this game. Making it harder to earn credits with cars that cost up to 12. At the end of the day I’m the one playing the game doing the same race. I don’t really care about the other races. There is multiple cars and grinding for one car would take 3 days and maybe 4 if you want to put upgrades on you car. You can’t tell us how to play your game.

    ABSOLUTELY BUTCHERED

Even if playing career mode. Has to be online. Plus they are constantly nerfing credit income. Forcing people to use MTX. I will NEVER support pay to win.

    Forced microtransactions and the requirement for online connection even in single player mode undoes all the good aspects about GT7. The greediness of GT7 will be the undoing of Polyphony Digital and Sony

    The recent update also added to the already bad micro-transaction system. Payouts for many races were decreased even more than they already had been. This makes getting any of the $10million+ cars impossible to obtain without a massive grind or purchasing be ingame currency of the PS store.
    Once the servers finally came back online, users received no compensation. All they got was a condescending letter from Kaz that explained that the payout decreases were to improve the game.
    Whilst this game could be good, I can't see Sony & Polyphony doing what's required to fix it.    … Expand

    There are genuinely things I like about this game but I cannot in good faith recommend it to anyone. Between always online, predatory MTX, lack of single player features, and the decision to nerf already weak credit rewards combined with their completely tone-deaf statement, it is clear that Sony has fully subverted the Gran Turismo series for their own gain and it is very sad to see.

    Greedy mtx.. Why pay real money for the opportunity just to be able to enjoy the base part of the game? People pay money to enjoy the base game, period. The payout/reward rate is intentionally far too low and people aren't stupid. I hope this hurts game sells even more than they're making through mtx, as well as the companies image.

They must've realized that too many people were grinding instead of buying overpriced credits so they moved the goalposts by decreasing the payouts for each race to push us to buy credit with real money when a rare car comes on sale. They charged us 100 dollars for the 25 anniversary edition but they treat this game like Fortnite where every single item in the game is for sale and very expensive. They went from being a 10/10 to a big fat zero. 2 million credits cost 20 dollars but a lot of cars cost 4 to 12 millions. Perhaps even more… Expand

Today PD released an update that nerfed pay outs for some events, why? To answer that I'd like to explain a bit how this game presents itself to the player.

    - - - - - - -

    The problem with Gran Turismo 7 is GaaS, or Games as a Service, what it basically entails is cutting off half or more of the final game content to release via 'free' updates, updates which will have content that gradually increases in price/value as it is released, games that feature a lot of grinding are prime targets to be converted to this system and it is a plague among the gaming industry as it makes you choose between time and money, that IMO does not make a game a 'game' anymore but something meant to fleece you as much as it can.

    The only GT games I've played are GT3/GT5/GTS, I can tell you that the initial grind in GT7 is much more forgiving than in GT3, (can't say much for the others as I didn't really play them much) I made $1m Cr. in 5 days, that same feat took me months in GT3, however this is at this moment in the game, the GaaS system itself features continuing 'free' updates (update is "Free" content is not) which will introduce cars that are inevitably better, cooler and have more features than the base cars in the game and Polyphony will MAKE you want those cars, because if you don't get them, you'll start losing races, you'll start to be pestered with all sorts of ads that show you cars only in the new updates then you will have to make the inevitable question:

    Is grinding for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week for 2 weeks, worth less for me than the $40 it takes to buy that shiny new car right now with microtransactions?

    And you'll most likely answer, no.

    And then it will most likely happen again with the next update, gradually increasing in credit price, then when you least expect it, you will be paying so that you don't have to play the game, GaaS inherently gives you an extreme goal and begs you for money to make it easier (this is why you CAN'T sell cars), it is insidious and is destroying my love for gaming, it inserts itself in the most forced ways in games for the sole reason of making a quick buck off of you and it IS working, only way to stop it is to stop buying games that peddle it, publicly call out the publishers and developers that insert it into their game that previously did not need it at all.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg for GaaS, worst thing about it is that you don't even own a license to use the content you buy, you don't have any rights to the fake money you pay real money for, if they shut off the servers they can legally do so without providing any kind of restitution or any kind of reward for time/money lost.

    GaaS takes your time, your money and your rights away.

    Forgot to mention, all GaaS games in one way or the other feature cheap psychological tactics that ensure you get hooked to the game and always come back for more, which does this game use? The skinner box or Operant Conditioning Chamber:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning_chamber

    What this usually amounts to is adding RNG elements to the game, Yep, you guessed it right, the Star Tickets, they give the illusion of being fully random and that you have a one in five chance of something but in reality the Tickets are fake, What you will get from it is already decided by the game, probably long before you get the ticket, want to test this out? Claim a ticket and as soon as you get the thing, close the game and try again, you will ALWAYS get the same thing, no matter how many times you try.

    Additionally some games go even further pick from a pre-selected list of rewards to give you depending on how good you are doing in the game or how specific your gameplay has been going compared to secret parameters, most likely refined and extracted from all of the metadata they get from everyone collectively playing the game, all of this effort, all of this is done for only one reason, to fleece you for content and make you pay at every turn, is is the most anti-consumer thing you can implement in your game short of actually taking money and being legally allowed to not give you anything at all, which is unironically called 'Gambling'.

    This is a problem that the gaming industry inherited from the mobile game industry, IMO if developers and publishers want to make games that change the core mechanics to something that better fits GaaS then they should release those games on mobile systems where anti-consumer tactics are accepted and applauded.    … Expand

    It is a 80$ priced AAA game that has heavy microtransactions and the team behind the game halved the currency gain in the game after launch to favor those microtransactions. Need i say more? This should be intolerable and illegal in such a game, but here we are.

    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.
