    Sony is loaded with a heap of selfish A-holes. It's going to be such pleasure watching you burn as you spiral down to insignificance....at which point you'll come up with every spin in the book to how you actually had good intentions that backfired blah blah blah. I'm SO glad I held off getting the PS5. Hi Microsoft....I'm back.

    this game don't deserve a single cent , you need internet to play single-player and they updated to have more persistent microtransactions ( nerfed all credits gains)

    It costs $70 and is loaded with micro transactions. It is visually beautiful, but is loaded with micro transactions to get the content you have already paid for.

    Only two realistic things in this game are vehicle prices and the lack of attainability. Game is excessively grindy for $70 as they push a mtx heavy model.

    I mean, do I even explain it at this point? First, the fact that it is impossible to play the game you pay for if their servers are not online. Not only does this mean a lengthy outage if something goes wrong (and as we recently saw) but it also means that the game has no life expectancy.

Not only does this mean a lengthy outage if something goes wrong (and as we recently saw) but it also means that the game has no life expectancy. Once the powers-that-be decide it's time to shut down the servers, the game becomes nothing more than a paper weight. That is, if you have a physical copy. Then, what about the reduction of credits that are to be earned? And to pour salt on the wound, they issue a statement saying they don't want players to grind as much nor to pay a lot for microtransactions... consider that if you don't want to spend weeks on end grinding the same track, your only option is to spend $200 for a single car. This is beyond ridiculous. We spend good money on a game that is supposed to finished. Not one that wants me to continue to spend money. I'm not doing it.. I will finish the single player game (because, truth be told, the game looks and plays great) but after that, it's done, and I will move to the next game and not look back. It's the last installment of GT for me.… Expand

    Game requires always online for single player, and servers are constantly down for maintenance, also there are too many things to buy for an already expensive game.

Greed has managed to take over this industry and looks to be rotting it to the core, games that used to be dependable and exciting which provided us with new adventures, gave us joy and excitement now are just schemes to make continual cash flows, it’s utterly disgraceful.

    The gaming industry seems to be changing for the worse, it’s embrace of new technology has been used to create better gaming experience but also as a mechanism for padding the already hefty wallets of the industry executives.

    How i miss the simple days of when games didn’t connect to the internet and they had to be playable from day one. It’s a shame that all of the hard work from the developers, artists and productions can be thrown down the toilet by a few soulless individuals, bottom lines are truly dreadful.    … Expand

    Greedy greedy greedsters. I hope this pay to win game fails. The physics suck, and now you’ll have to grind at least two races to buy a single part. ONE SINGLE PART. They’ve made races worth nothing. Lobby races don’t pay a cent. Roulette tickets give you the worst prize every time. This game sucks. DO NOT BUY IT.

    Unacceptable. They just want to get money with microtransactions, in these difficult times that we are living with the economy. Very sad. I strongly recommend that you do not buy the game. You will never reach the maximum collector level without going bankrupt.

Unfortunately I don't have a steering wheel set up so you are a disadvantage with a controller and if you want to gold all the missions and tests without being some sort of god at the game you ain't doing it.

The racing is pretty good and fun but you will probably be spending most your time getting pissed off at the mission and licensing tests to actually enjoy that side of it. You should not have to be a f1 level type driver to get gold for a licsence bit of a joke. The game is not really good for new comers to this sort of game tbh.… Expand

    Amazing bones of a game ruined by severe lack of content, always online requirement, and heavy pushing of micro transactions. Why is $70 no longer enough money for a game?

    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.

    Well, we're here, how did we get here? 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.

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

    so its a review bombing, not actual complaints, because the game plays great and looks great, the downside is always online, but that's been a thing for most games for some time now, the game is solid, and will get better with time, just have to stick it out, and not complain like a bunch of whiny baby's.

    The "campaign" doesn't give you even 25% of cars available, and not even one really expensive car just for finishing it (even when there are hundreds more).
    Then races pay too little, cars are way expensive and even enough credits to to fully mod a car can take a lot of races.
    All of this to influence you to buy MTX to save time. Truly a shame, too much greed

    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.
