    Instead of rising the credits you win for a race they lowered it?! SERIOUSLY?!

For a AAA game that sells consoles for Sony its not great, but my biggest issue is the predatory behaviour in pushing MTX towards people. Credits for purchasing cars have been nerfed despite already being the lowest in any GT entry. No one has the time to grind out for 20 million in game credits to buy the dream car they can't actually afford in real life so the solution for Polyphonic/Sony is the offer of 2 million credits for £16 via MTX? People didn't buy/pre order a full price AAA game to be forced to play the game like a second job just to be able to drive the cars they can't afford in real life. I understand grinding sometimes but at the current economy set up engaging players on FOMO with limited digital stock of cars on a timer and potentially being short on in game credits, they are pushing for people to shell out for additional cash. For a game that already cost £70? The bait and switch pulled on MTX has left a bitter taste in many fans mouths as MTX were only implemented on launch day, after all the reviews had already come out. Furthermore there is a half-baked single player campaign that is extremely short and ends very abruptly. The campaign rewards you with cars for chasing down a linear rail of cars driven by a brain dead AI. However the cars that are rewarded can't be sold for in game credits like previous titles so you are stuck with a cluttered garage. Further evidence of predatory practices pushing players towards MTX can be seen in the trophy list as there is a trophy for purchasing the same car 10 times. The roulette system to win big ticket items is heavy skewed towards the lowest winnings and its completely random if you win a 1* to 6* ticket from the daily workout. There are very few new additions to cars in the roster at present and very few races for single player enjoyment. For a single player designed GT game it is currently abysmal, the online focused GT Sport from PS4 has more single player content and is better polished. Seriously disappointed in this numbered entry and surprised that the 'Games as a Service' model has been allowed to operate in such a barebones, blatant cash grab fashion. Expand

    Terrible payouts, impossible to play without micro transactions, servers down for more than 24 hours only a week after release. Cannot play single player without internet connection, or when servers are down. Bugs preventing game progression etc etc

    Don't buy this game. Especially after the statement from Kaz (Polyphony boss) which basically defended their decisions to monetise the game as much as possible. Didn't even get any sort of in-game credit compensation or anything after the entire game was broken for over a day!

    I can't imagine a buyout game that still can't log in after 24 hours of maintenance. In addition, your first consideration is not to improve the user experience, optimize online play, Instead, first consider how to force players to recharge into the game. I am really, very disappointed.

    BUT this is to much now. I quite! The buyer does not OWN the game anymore!!! This "buy everything as a service" and "you will own nothing and be happy"-mentality we are drifting into as a world wide society is going crazy! Mad crazy! And people are slowly but way to late starting to not take it anymore.

    1. I pay a full game price for offline singleplayer experience and still get forced to be online 24/7 for 90%+ of the game contents. I know tracking and data collecting means $$$ but come on! Thats shady and criminal!

    2. Earning money to buy the cars is made artificially harder due to up to -50% lower in-game price money. In-game purchases is what we are bullied into. Micro transactions my ass! This is god damn gran turismo not some scum ebay offering.

    3. We cant sell/trade/share cars as it used to be to get money or just as a present for friends and family. How more unsocial can it get?

    All these marketing tricks and false shady communication to reduce "cheating". Boy does your PR spin doctor maybe suffer from alzheimer? Me and millions of other players and fans of the series are done with this until this is changed.

    P.S.: Oh and how dare you to not put back Monaco / Côte d'Azur track after almost 10 years since it was gone?

    - First and foremost the number 1 ridiculous issue which is the online-only requirement even when playing single player. This has to be the most infuriating “feature” in modern gaming and has caused my *physical* single player disc to be unplayable for nearly 2 days and counting now. - No proper “career” mode. I finished the “cafe” missions, which are as close as it gets, in 3 days

    - Aggressively pushes micro transactions everywhere. Haven’t been able to play the latest patch yet but it apparently reduces the paltry race rewards even further so you can spend even more time grinding to buy new cars to play the same races over and over again or spend more money on top of the £60 the game costs in the first place.

    - The “Races” aren’t really that at all, the vast majority are rolling start type events with as much as a 40 second gap between you and the lead vehicle. Standing starts with a relatively evenly matched grid are replaced with dull overtaking challenges for almost *every* event.

    - Disappointing number of bugs and glitches for a game that’s been in development for so long. PS4 version has a lot of frame drops which I can overlook as it’s pretty old hardware now. Overall almost everything that distinguishes it from the previous games makes it worse. There’s a great game und

    The other issue is the constant requirement for online servers. As we have already seen this has caused a considerable backlash from the fanbase as the server maintenance means that not only is online unplayable but the general campaign is unplayable too! What a crazy decision to make.

    To the developers: Before this nonsense GT 7 was competing with Elden Ring for #1, now at the time of this writing the user score is 3.4 out of 10. DO YOU HEAR US?

    Set up for micro transaction, not to be fun. No way to get the Gran Turismo experience of previous games without spending more money. PD is breaking the game to make it worse than it already is. Do not spend your money on this game. It needs to be fixed before it is worth even $10

    Server down for over 24 hours with zero communication from developers. Overpriced microtransactions to purchase cars - they want users to pay over $5000 to buy digital cars in a game.

    I played a lot of GT3 many years ago and was excited to revisit the series on PS5. The game is gorgeous and the sound is awesome. The cars each have a unique feel, which keeps things interesting and makes them fun to drive. Unfortunately, they got greedy and had to go and mess up an otherwise great title.

Unfortunately, they got greedy and had to go and mess up an otherwise great title. Miss me with "always online" requirements. I haven't been able to play the game for 2 days now because the server is down. When you pay $90 for a game, you deserve the right to play on your schedule. You also deserve the right to experience the full game without being pressured to purchase in game currency through the playstation store. The payouts for races are a joke and they've actively reduced them after release to prevent players from being able to obtain vehicles through a reasonable amount of gameplay. Want to buy a supercar on this game? You can either grind for weeks or spend $40 of real life money. Once you finish the brief career mode it's nothing more than a really pretty pay to play cell phone game with a next-gen $70-90 price tag. This is how they've decided to thank the community on the 25th anniversary of the series. Beyond disappointing. Expand

    The at least 2-days-long maintanence is simply a joke - the game is required to be played while being online, but now it's offline for at least 30 hours.

    The state of the 70€ game exclusive is Absolutely unacceptable. A well deserved rating of 0 point!

The day I received GT7, I completed the licenses with all gold and started the challenges. Completed a few races and what not and within the first few days of playing, found myself earning around 3 million. However, right now, as things stand, it's almost impossible to the credits you need. Especially as the majority of cars are a million and above and long races giving you 30k after completion. The icing on the cake is the large "buy more credits here" after each race completion. Polyphony aren't even shy about how they're practically forcing you to spend real money... Keeping in mind it's £15 for 2mil in game credits which is nothing. Don't get me started on the roulette spins... After 70 or so pins, I am yet to get anything bar the last place prize out of 5 possible prizes. Disgustingly rigged. The driving itself is superb, fun, addictive and down right beautiful at times. However the fun is locked behind a gigantic rigged paywall. Also... I spent 1 mil on a car that I was later given and you CANNOT sell cars Expand

    Track selection is weak (about 3 more locations than gt sport)
    And many more issues

    Overall I would not recommend in its current state, it definitely has potential but they just decided to see how much mtx they can get away with and remove features that they were fine...

    The game is average, the graphics are barely worthy of being called next gen. Also don’t get me started on the MicroTransactions, buying some cars could cost upwards of £99 in actual money. This game is broken, and I mean literally, for the last 24hours since the latest patch it’s been unplayable as the servers are down, this is poor for a game that costs £69.99

    Gran Turismo 7 is incredible... When it works.

    Unfortunately, the game requires an always-online connection to play the vast majority of its single-player modes, which are an enormous draw for any fan of the series. On March 17, 2022, less than two weeks after the game's launch, gamers discovered exactly why this practice is so disadvantageous for consumers. Gran Turismo 7's servers were taken offline due to maintenance related to a broken update, and most of the game became entirely unplayable, even for gamers who are uninterested in the online racing modes.

    This event gives a gamers a preview of the GT7's future. In a few years, when Sony and Polyphony Digital decide that it is no longer profitable to keep the servers running, any gamer who wants to experience a truly incredible racing sim will be entirely out of luck.

    Polyphony Digital and Sony's community would best be served by removing the always-online requirement.

    Bought the game over 24 hours ago. Haven't even been able to play because servers have been down the whole time, and they don't even let you play SINGLE PLAYER without a CONNECTION. I feel completely robbed, I wish I had bought a physical copy so I could get my money back. All excitement I had is gone after this joke of a technical issue.

    Outrageous. I bought this game at launch and Sony thanks me by pushing out an update to ruin the in-game economy and force players towards microtransactions. That and this mostly singleplayer experience requiring an internet connection. I am never buying another Sony game at launch again. I refuse to support anti-consumer practices like this.

    It's so dumb that the game requires online connection all the time even for single player mode. Now the servers have been down for over a day now and can't even play the campaign. Ridiculous. And don't even get me started on the credit system. Complete joke and garbage for a full price game. Get rid of the microtransactions or make the game free you greedy studios!

    Game play physics are solid however if you want it to play online you will only get 28,000 Credits for coming first place in a 20 player race that takes 25mins.. now there are many cars that cost 10mill-20mill. So if you plan to focus online only it is stupid and pushed micro transactions hard

    £70 for this game. £70. For them to add a roulette wheel boasting lovely prizes and cash only to give you the smallest cash prize every time. Also, invitations to purchase cars that are limited time to encourage you to buy credits from their shop is so manipulative it beggars belief. Shameful business practice.

    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.
