so i think its not wrong to share our 2 cents

as you already expressed your overall feelings about the game (as many of us did) you should share your 2 cents in relation with the news or update being discussed, not repeat a broader feeling about the whole game, that's what I try to do and I find that way more relaxing than ruminate same old grudges about the game, that probably won't change now and if they do, I doubt it will be because of this thread or forum.

And they are justified. You can generally like something but still criticize certain aspects. That doesn‘t mean you hate everything about it.

All things considered I enjoy playing GT7 (otherwise I would have stopped long ago) but the game still has fundamental issues that hold it back from being truly excellent. Which is really annoying because PD got so many things right (physics (mostly), graphics, sound, livery editor, scapes, customization) but dropped the ball on others (A.I., lack of career mode, lack of a sense of progression, outdated cars).

I love this game, and lately is the only thing i play that i can stay with and be happy with...

Thats the dumbest take i have read in the last month. Why cant i criticize respectfully a game that i paid 80 bucks? Its not like im always sharing these negative comments towards the game. Also they r all fundamented.

i paid money too for this and i believe in the right to complain and speak your mind about such things, what i have the issue with is the constant and repetitive negative comments that we as a game base have no way of resolving nor a proper way of getting these complaints to PD. There are no direct means of communications to PD.

I understand the point made by @jrbabbitt.

How many times have you (and a large number of people, including me) already expressed your sentiment about the flaws of the game ?

Do you intend to repeat yourself with every update ? Every news ?

Do you think the thread about latest news is the best place to express your feelings about the game ?

You can criticize the game, it has big flaws, but maybe choose another thread to do so, and if you gonna repeat your point each time, maybe move on, it serves no purpose at this point.

I come to this thread to read the "latest news" about the game, not to read the same bunch of guys complaining every time with the same complaints that I know (and have the same feeling about) since 3 years now.

I criticized the game 5 times. So its not like im only hating on the game 24/7. And yes maybe i was a bit repetitive. However its also a thread for discussion on the gamae, so i think its not wrong to share our 2 cents, even if they are negative or whatever. Again sorry @jrbabbitt

Apology accepted and i respect you for telling me that i was a bit wrong in what i have posted prior. it's not wrong to share your 2-10 cents (inflation) but this thread is "latest news and discussion" not a rant and complaint thread...

It's all good mate! I can't speak for everybody but I'd assume that most of us get so frustrated with the game from time to time is because GT7 is actually a really good game at its core that is held back by only a few flaws. If it was complete ****, most people would simply stop playing it and move on but that's not the case. The game could be even better than it already is but PD don't let it live up to its true potential.

I have about 100hours but what really kills me is how much grinding you have to do to get credits. making credits hard to get whilst making cars expensive to simulate "real world economics" misses the mark of what a "real racing simulator" is supposed to mean in video games

The annoying part of GT7 trying to be a "real world economics simulator" is that there's no bargains for a savvy buyer, e.g. a Skoda Fabia VRS instead of a Polo GTI, a Pulsar DIG-T instead of a Megane RS or a Corolla T-Sport instead of a Civic Type R.

The goal is probably to make those cars feel exclusive, rather than an attempt to simulate real world economics.

yeah you're right, making them exclusive makes me want them even less...

agreed ...they could have just made the 'exclusive' cars something you have to get a gold trophy in...the rationale behind that in GT7 is whats killing me. Otherwise very little to no complaints (Yes I also want waaaay more tracks even if made up)

It's not trying to do this though. The economy isn't realistic at all. What it's trying to do is impart an additional value on certain cars by brute-forcing scarcity.

If there's a job that'll pay me five grand for driving a stock second hand vehicle around Brands Hatch for two laps, with no other cost of entry... yup, I'll take it... beats reality hands down.

This is the first time i see that the radiator get leak after a crash with a betong barrier. Is this new or is it only the P1?

Tyre heat from direct under the front bonnet? 🤔. If I looked straight backwards it was from the middle back of the front bonnet

Front tyres locked up in braking, that is tyre smoke....and looking at the next post l see that picture and I could be wrong... I've been hit hard and into walls hard but never seen steam from front like that

To a limited extent, I'm with @jrbabbitt and @Lomic regarding the continually repetitive negative commentary. Folks really, really need to go read the license agreement you agree to, every time you launch GT7, or any other game published for a Playstation. None of us have actually paid for "the game". We paid for a license to use the software. That software product is provided "as is" and Sony and PD are under no legal or moral obligation to change functionality or content. Their only incentive to do so is to get the folks that take other's word for the games operational functionality, and any other aspects about the game, to buy a license to use it. That is the only reason content and feature updates are offered. So they can sell another license and/or subscription fee. Updates are in no way shape or form for the folks that have already bought said license or subscription.

Disclaimer- The license agreement link posted is for the US version. Other countries may have other verbiage.

Interpretation is important here though. If this really is the case for the agreement, then game companies can release whatever the hell they like and NOT be forced to "complete" a game by law. In other words, this statement pretty much allows "half-finished" games to enter the market and not have the developer face some kind of penalty. All the game has to do is meet the minimum standard in terms of functionality. This wording needs to change because it can screw over consumers and not give them ANY leg to stand on in the court of law.
 
I’m still loving this game 3.5 years on, I look forward to each Monday morning eagerly awaiting the new set of daily races in which I usually stick to one race for the whole week, studying all sorts of replays and YouTube content to improve day by day,

This is just racing perfection in my eyes, getting yourself a good livery and especially this week with the S2000 at Sardegna has a real track day feel to it.

I have a bunch of buddies to chase times with on the leaderboard and race probably 50/75 races per week, on one track 😁

The time triallling community is actually bigger than the daily racing community (I believe)

This will be my retirement when I get there!

So here’s some GT positivity from a lifelong fan who feels just spoilt with what we have in the modern era!

👌

No it's not tyre smoke... It cant come any smoke from tires when the car has zero movement in over 1 minute after reverseing from the site of the crash... Sorry for may english.

You said it! We are totally spoilt!

Could you imagine if a time traveler came from 1997 and saw what we have today? That said, racing games becoming much more niche since that era is visibly having an effect on the reception of various aspects.

We have better graphics but I do think we've regressed on game design and retention.

Thing is, back then from say, 97-2004, you had 3 GT games, 4 at a push, all coming out not long after another.
By the time you're truly burnt out on one, there's another, and it does something new and fresh. You've also got countless other games on parity releasing, each with their own twists.
They'd be blown away, sure, we were too, but when they got bored of it they got a new game, and when we're bored of it we get a Qashqai and a Sunday Cup to add to what's already there.

You don't really get that movement now. If you're displeased with the core of a game then you have to suck it up, and hope the next one years down the line doesn't have a similar problem. It's very easy to become disenfranchised from things and bitter, because it doesn't feel like your time as a player is respected like it used to be.

I don't think racing games as a whole are niche. Maybe not the literal #1 sellers on a platform they once were, but not niche.

Like with a lot of other genres, they've just crystallised into a few key players. If you look at Steam stats, Forza Horizon, Beam, and the original Assetto Corsa (which the majority aren't playing for sim-ness) have ridiculously good continued sales and player retention. And Mario Kart is literally Nintendo's #1 franchise, of course.

I think it can feel that way because sim racing, which is and always was niche, gets an outsized amount of coverage for the percentage of the genre it actually is.

(I should specify I use "sim racing" here to mean the games that are more sim than video game, not just by physics detail. So no GTs, no FMs, no AC1 or AC EVO as they are all trying to be video games first)

This is also a Pikes Peak car.

As a general rule, if the Gran Turismo logo is on a windshield banner, it is because they sponsor the series rather the car so it can be safely ignored.
