    Congratulations to Sony and Poliphony on ruining a franchise beloved by many for years with predatory microtransactions and scammy, deceitful practices that clearly show how you don't give flying f*ck about your customers.

    A piece of advice to anyone who'll take it:
    NEVER pre-order.
    NEVER buy a game during the first days of lunch.
    NEVER review too positively games during the first month of their life cycles. There are enough people streaming the games to let you know exactly what's in a game and how good/bad it is.

    Disgusting scam of a game. $70 full priced game with absurdly priced microtransactions, and as if that wasn't enough, the recent update lowered payouts of races to furthur push their MTX BS. Sony's greed knows no end. Also online only DRM sucks.

Acho que ela está colocando os últimos pregos na sua última geração em seu caixão. Expand

    1. Always Online DRM for a Single Player game experience.
    2. Online Multiplayer aspect especially "Sport mode" is unbalance, BoP and Tuning are mixed, multiplayer should just be Delayed as a separated DLC.
    3. Recent updates (1.07 & 1.08) are really a Miss Step, economy Payouts getting slower because we've played some events "Over and Over" just to grind, Grind Turismo 7 lol.
    4. MICROTRANSACTION, GT7 encourage you to "Top Up" Small in game Credits with Real money.
    5. GRIND TURISMO, Poly or KAZ you're better than this.

    In the end you can’t progress or get credits when the servers are offline so if I can’t use the product I pay for it will worth nothing and easily deserve 0/10

    I waited to buy a PS5 just to play Gran Turismo 7 only to be so disappointed in every possible way. One of the most disappointing games I have ever played. If I knew Gran Turismo 7 was going to be this bad, I would have never bought a PS5. What a waste.

    The individual cost of many of the cars is now in the HUNDREDS of real-life dollars.
    If you choose to only earn credits in-game, expect to have to complete hundreds of races over and over in order to earn enough to buy just ONE of those cars.
    And that was BEFORE their prize nerfs. Now it's even worse with update 1.08!!

    Outrageous push to buy microtransactions. Does Yamauchi expect us to play his game 24/7. There is no long term vision that I see coming. If he wants to curate the GT experience to this point, remove ALL microtransactions and then he will have a foot to stand on. I paid the full price of 80 Euros on PSN to support this game and I now regret it. This is just a greedy cash grab.

    Always online DRM also means no game preservation 20 years down the line. We need Polyphony to promise an off line mode once the servers shut down.
    The driving physics when the car jumps in off road races are also very unrealistic and the game preventing cars from rolling over also adds to the sense of unrealism.

    On-line requirement for single player mode and the insane push towards micro transactions completely destroys this game, no matter how pretty it is. It has, to my knowledge, the worst in-game economy there ever was, and that's in a game focused on the off-line single player campaign, and sold at a full retail price. Disgusting.

I love Gran Turismo and I’ve been waiting years for this game, I finally got it and it saddened me that the game is heavy on micro transactions, you pretty much need to spend close to $40 dlls to get one of the best cars in the game, I could farm credits but SONY just decreased the amount of credits given per race making it close to impossible to get some of the limited time offers to get legendary cars. Sony fix this I already paid $90 for this game then I get treated like this?

    Also another huge issue is that you have to be online always to play this game, then why I paid for the disc???? Servers went down for more than 24hrs!!! Why? How come I cannot play offline while the server issue gets fixed?

    Sony is dropping the ball big time with GT7 and at this point I don’t recommend this game to anyone.

However, recent iterations have become increasingly poor, with GT Sport only marginally excellent as a single-player game, and GT7 magnificently failing: mostly because 1) You need an online connection to play. This is a terrible decision because not everyone's connection is 100% stable and outages are inevitable (such as the March 22 update). And 2) the broken economy where increasing maintenance costs and low payouts attempt not to nudge, but force players into... and I can't call them microtransations: substantial sums of money to own the cars they need to play all aspects of the game. Moreover, the single-player experience lacks depth and so what you're left with, actually, is an allbeit very nice: playable demo of what GT 7 should have been.

    GT7 has turned me off the GT series and off the PS platform altogether. It's going to take some genius of a game to keep me interested in the platform now.

    And the final nail to GT fans' hearts is the pathetic roulette. Whenever there is a $5000 credit as one of the roulette prizes, you will definitely win that. 9/10 times! Be it 1-star to 4-star tickets! And the only time I won something other than $5K credits, is a Formula Honda from the last cafe menu ticket, for which there are no racing events I can use if for.

The amount of grind is obnoxious at best. The choice of cars is abysmal. No proper single player campaign to speak of. The whole microtransaction fiasco is abhorrent. I spent £90 on a game that feels like a tech demo.

    The whole experience is just hollow. Compared to past games, it’s painful to play. Compared to other similar games, it just doesn’t cut it. Take the car selection for example - it feels like 95% of the cars you expect to see are missing! Surely a developer like #PolyphonyDigital has the budget to properly license current car models from the big manufacturers that are relevant? Feels like the included cars are just recycled from older titles. And why can’t you sell cars?! That’s just poor. All to earn money from the players. Shoddy.

    Don’t even get me started on the pathetic excuse for multiplayer! How can a game that’s been in development for so long have such a poor multiplayer experience?! It’s like an early access title! I want my money back.

But to grind for 20 hours just to unlock a single car? Christ, that's like working a full time job! There's no need to give out supercars and stuff for free, but there's also no reason to make it literally akin to buying the real deal in the real world. MTXs in GT:S were fine, because they were cheap, and also because you didn't NEED them to progress in the game. They were just there if you wanted to skip a couple of steps. But MTXs are practically required to progress in this C$80 MINIMUM game. Can't believe Polyphony would try to pull some EA levels of BS in GT7. And this isn't even going about the always online aspect! Pathetic. Can't believe I paid this much money for GT7. Expand

    We all know that this is a decision to try to make more money. But I hope this really hurts your pocket.

    The game is not fun. You were so lazy that did not even paid someone to record audio and instead the only thing we do is to click on text. Why do menus exists? Is the most boring thing in the world. Why don't you think about how to improve the game experience?
    I can resume the game as: Collect cars and .... (I can't even think another thing to add here).
    The game is just forgettable. Not fun at all.
    The races are nice, until you lose progress because your **** server disconnected me.

This game is tainted by the corporate greed that is plaguing many industries today. For all the reasons that GT7 is great; there are far more reasons why this game should be avoided by the gaming world. It all comes down to principle. Allowing SONY and Polyphony to get away with what they are attempting, is the gaming world's definition of "Stockholm Syndrome": identifying with your captors. Talk about exploiting your fans. Here's my list of reasons for a low rating of a $70, AAA title. 1. An unbelievably imbalanced micro transaction scheme. They were deceitful in the beginning. And after release, unleashed their greedy wrath on their massively loyal player base. Nothing says "f*** you" to your loyal fans more than how Sony and Polyphony have handled this. 2. Are you a completionist? Not in GT7 you are not! If you bought every car in GT7 via micro transaction credits, you would pay thousands! Over $2,000 to be exact. 3. Can't afford that real world money to buy your favorite car? Then you can grind away by spending days of your time just to buy ONE car! The credit payout system is so nurfed that it is nearly impossible for hard-core gamers to grind their way to completion status. I never use micro-transactions. I usually laugh at people who do. But, to each their own. However, Sony and Polyphany decided to recently nurf their already incredibly imbalanced credit payouts, which will now take almost twice as long to progress by grinding. But let's be real here. Very few people are going to spend the thousands of hours it would take to truly complete this game if they want to avoid spending, you guessed it, thousands of dollars! 4. $70 should buy you a AAA title, right? Then shouldn't you expect that the music be mostly original and licensed? With GT7 you get MANY royalty free classical music pieces to listen to, all so SONY and Polyphony can save money on not purchasing licenses to pay for better music. It's so obvious that these were all corporate decisions to maximize gains by being as cheep as possible with the ambiance of the game, while really sticking it to their fans with the micro transactions. 5. Sony and Polyphonies greed is so obvious that it doesn't take a genius to understand why they have made the game online only, when the vast magority of people's time will be spent playing the single player mode. It's all about those micro transactions! How pathetic. This game is a brick after the next generation comes. Regardless how fun this game is when you're actually playing it (and it is fun); by principle, no one should buy it. Doing so is just enabling an abusive relationship to continue on and allowing these tasteless tactics of greed and exploitation to continue. 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.

    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.
