Tell that to people who want to get the Escudo or the Ford Roadster. It's been half a year since they were last seen in the shops.
But yes, kudos to PD for not spending 9 months modelling a car just to make it so players will never be able to drive it.
You can compare a game mechanic to real life all you like but at the end of the day, the question is does it enrich the player's experience? That's all that matters. And the invites do not. There's some sense in blocking players from accessing certain content from the get go but RNG is the absolute laziest and least satisfying way of doing so.
There's plenty of them being flipped on the second hand market if you really wanted one. You can simply buy your way to any car you want.
In your opinion ...
Does it enrich the player's experience? For me, yes. Yes, it's frustrating when I can't get the car I want at the time when I want it. But for me that frustration is part of life and certainly part of life as a car owner.
And, yes, the legendary car dealership works on more or less the same principles. Some cars are rare. They don't come up for sale all that often. When they do come up you either need to find the cash or accept that they will not be available until they come round again.
It's an unusual game mechanic. It's certainly divisive. But there is some logic to it. PD wanted to model exclusivity without resorting solely to price without the complaints about micro-transactions.
Funny way of defending one's rights to have an opinion, when telling people's opinions are wrong because real life comparison bla bla.
Stop comparing a game with real life. It's just silly to compare broken game features, like invitations, to real life situations.
Ever went to a car dealer to buy a Dallara SF19, a Porsche 919 Hybrid or a bunch of non existing cars? Off the shelve? No invitation needed? Yeah, thought so. Me neither.
The GT invitation system is broken and doesn't give any sense whatsoever. Period!
I have never said that your opinions are wrong. I am explaining why I have a different opinion. That's how debating works.
You are playing a simulator and you want me to stop comparing the game to real life? We can argue about exactly what GT7 is simulating but there is no doubt it's a simulator.
You are exactly right about not being able to buy any car you want at a dealership. That's the point. Some cars are rare and only available second hand. For those cars we need to go to the legendary dealership and wait for them to come around. There's an element of chance as we don't know when they will come around. We don't get a choice of paint-job and the cars will come with some mileage on the clock.
Other cars are made in limited numbers and are rare even when they are brand new. Here we need to wait for an invitation, but we do get to choose the paint and the cars will have zero miles on the clock.
Wait for a car to appear in legendary or wait for an invitation ... there's not much difference.
"The GT invitation system is broken"??? In your opinion. Other opinions are available
