Just yesterday I stumbled upon this forum and the daily race discussions.
I learned a lot about specific tracks, cars and skills I need to develop. I'm DR:C/SR:S at the moment. It was very helpful and enlightening.
Then I casually looked at the other topics and... wow. I did not expect people to be so rude, impudent, crinch and outright embarrassing. But this self-indulgent spiral of negativity is a broader phenomenon of the internet I guess.
So... I absolutely love this game. Not one day since launch has passed without me having fun in this game. I never grinded once, I only play for fun. I have almost all the cars I want and still have several millions credits to spend. (In my opinion GT7 is to generous, but that's a different story.)
I love the fact that I can spend dozens and dozens of hours with this game, without even driving one mile. There is so much to do and enjoy. Especially the livery editor, the showcase feature and the scapes feature are fantastic. I just love the way cars and culture are handled in this game.
The graphics are plain beautiful, the presentation is top notch, the background music perfectly suited. I like the handling/physics of the cars compared to other games I played (Project Cars, Asetto). GT7 gives me a certain sense of handling a real object with actual weight on track which kinda lacks in other racers (at least for me).
Not everything is perfect sure, but I'm more then willing to take the ride into a promising future with this game. Since the old days of GT1/2 I haven't been hooked by a racing game on this level.
