    1.08 came out with only new bugs and all the cr farm halved. Said that we don't want people to make microtransactions, won't price the car base on real money, and released an 18 million F1??? What is it? Even with paid cr this car is too much. I'm just too disappointed on this, I'd love to play GTS with a free car every day rather than this **** GT7 just made me sick, piece of ****

    utterly, this is disgusting to what's became of Polyphony Digital. it went from the Beloved and all-time favourite Sim-Racer for the many generations to come - to making their latest release and THIS UPDATE breaking the game so badly that you push the microstransactions SO FAR to where it's nigh-impossible to get the cars people want ?!

    this is just appalling.

    Why the hell you need online to play "single player" game. And the server can disconnect for more than 24 hours?? like how? The reward from the compeition is extremely low, and the opposite the car is f**king expensive. Is like a online game that required players to use real money to play.

    Greed greed greed. I will never be able to afford some of my favorite cars in this game. I can’t afford $50+ on credits and definitely can’t afford to play 5+ hours a day to make a few credits here and there! If I could I would return it but I’m stuck with it. Do not buy! Do not buy!!!!

Car prices are up 700% compared to GT Sport with a previously $5 Car now costing $40. The lobbies are broken. You can't track vote, you can't kick the crash trolls. Vehicle settings don't work.

The Ali's are broken, ignore track rules suck as blue flags and pit lane exit violations etc and crash you out of a race.the penalties system is worse than ever. To buy the most expensive car in the game will mean rinse and treating the same race 333 times. Polyphony have deceived it's customer base and are thus in breach of consumer law where "it is illegal to intentionally or unintentionally mislead or deceive a customer. " it's disgusting the contempt polyphony has shown towards it's customers. 100% DO NOT BUY! Expand

    I'd like to start out by saying I grew up on GT games and loved every single one. Actual endurance races. Starting out with a crappy corola or civic and working your way up.

Starting out with a crappy corola or civic and working your way up. I was sold that this game was going back to its roots. The campaign is abysmal and anything resembling an actual endurance race is gone. Endurance races no consist of 10 laps at Daytona. They make it nearly impossible to get cars without micro transactions. The roulette system is set up in such a way that 99% of the time you get the smallest reward so you have no other choice but to purchase credits if you want to obtain certain cars. This is something you would normally see in a F2P game, not one that cost $70. They recently further nerfed payouts for races just to push things further toward micro transactions.
    I would have been happy with a length campaign like the old days (which is what they sold me on), but that certainly isn't what is in this game. Not to mention you cant play campaign when servers go down.
    To further ruin the experience my game was bugged for 4-5 days where if I opened licenses to complete them the game would just shut down. I reached out to PD and Sony and neither would do anything. Dont waste your money buying this game they certainly don't care about you after they have your money. I'll never buy another PD game again, which is a shame because I thought they were one of the good devs left. apparently microtransactions bring even the top companies down.

    Gran Turismo 7 Online

    I feel like polyphony digital need to communicate this better on the game title. The should have just include "Online" on the title and it will clarify much better that the game will only be playable on online only connection.

    Why would I pay full price physical copy just to play music rally, limited cars and track?

    Microtransactions.
    Nerfing Singleplayer Rewards.
    Deactivate Server for 24h
    Racing a Rally makes you Jump like 6m height, Car will land on nose, turnaround, spin like an idiot, let you loose 1-5 places.

    I opened 23 4-Star Roulettes and earned 19 times 5.000cr.

    0/10 for me. Wouldn't recommend this Game.

I cannot recommend this game (GT7) due to this heavy push towards MACROtransactions, the always online requirement, the sheer lack of content (it feels as though I spent $90 on a demo), and glaring bugs like pitstops that take over a minute, invisible unmarked barriers, poor tire modeling, etc. I will not be returning to the GT series or PlayStation consoles at all in the future, as there are far better racing titles on PC (ACC for example), and nowadays most AAA titles can be had on PC regardless. Sony and Polyphony have lost a customer of 25 years with this move. Expand

    Internet connection required, how do I play it in 20 years when the servers are off? Why during maintenance my symphony records were not saved? €99 for the 25th anniversary version, it's expensive to play with micro transactions. It is unacceptable to have to spend so many hours to buy all the vehicles and force players to pay.

    This game is toxic.

    The microtransactions in it are utterlly foul. Despite the gameplay being fun Polyphony have done everything to show their distain for the players who have bought this game. It could take you weeks to earn enough in-game credits to buy some cars. And they've locked some behind a roulette system where you have to win an "invite" just to earn the right to buy them.

    Beyond a point, single-player becomes lifeless and empty...and is locked behind an always online connection requirement that means when the servers go down or theres maintainance then you can't play anything meaningfull.

    The gameplay is great ...everything else around it is trash. DO NOT BUY THIS.

    Really bad money grab at players, not what I expected from Kaz, I really did not think they would cut payouts and charge prices that exceed $150 USD to buy 1 single car in the game. I sold my copy, never buying GT titles again. Forza , I am coming back!

    I'm done defending this game, after all that's happened the last few days with the in game prize money being cut to nearly half and the massive server outage for over 24 hours, seeing that Mclaren F1 pop up in the legends dealer for 18.5mil was the straw that broke the camels back. A good game ruined by greed. To the suits at Sony/Polyphony I hope you rot.

    Wake up Kaz, wake the F up. Maybe it's time for you to step down... like when the shareholders come in and realize they need to bounce the very person that started the company.

    This game has been so frustrating and disappointing I actually feel violent. I need to trash a hotel room or something.

    The whole game and it's economy is centred around microtransactions. The predatory nature of this game is worse than some mobile f2p games, let alone for a $70 game.

    Here's an example, the Mclaren F1 in the game costs $18,500,000 credits. A harder 5 lap race gives you roughly 40,000 credits. Do the math! Kaz's bs reasoning for this is for 'realism'. Meanwhile a NOS upgrade costs,

    Kaz's bs reasoning for this is for 'realism'. Meanwhile a NOS upgrade costs, $100,000 credits, and you cant sell any of your cars. So apparently they only care about 'realism' when it suits them and their bottom line. You can see this with almost every design decision they have made with the game, they all try to push you to open your wallet and pay for microtransactions.

    We play these games to drive cars we could never afford in real life. Now guess what? We can't afford them in a game either! Thanks for the realism Kaz.

And for the Game Director who responded to this outrage regarding more races, challenges, etc. as a means to somehow fix these issues (all the while doubling down on the asinine prices of the cars): I do not trust you to fix this. You should have thought about these “fixes” WAY BEFORE you sent the game out in a state to trick game reviewers into giving you great scores, only to change everything once the dust has settled.

    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.
