First off, I would like to say this as a fan of all past GT games that wasnt as much of a fan of Sport, but generally has enjoyed the series for a while, and have enjoyed spending some community time in events here on GTPlanet too. and I really want to enjoy GT7, and there is a lot to enjoy, its just a shame there is also so much more to complain and take issue of too..
First of all, the stupid UCD/LCD rotation, with it rotating so slowly on a daily basis, and with 'sold out' pages as a screw you to players who missed out on getting the limited stock dars a day prior, while also taking up a spot that could've introduced a new car to that day. My only guess is tht this is done so people who missed out can put it onto a wishlist for whenever the heck it comes back... but so far they've only made menubook prizes show up in the UCD.
The money situation being so poor with no events giving over 100K (counting end championship bonuses) and with the game having MANY 1m+ cars... the grind is more abhorrent than ever. I feel the game should open up the UCD/LCDs a little more and to let people get the cars at their own pace. Also didnt the back of the GT7 physical box mention Seasonal Events? where are those?
Speaking of aspects that mess with the overall pace of the game, The car invitation system, preventing purchasing of certain cars until you find one of these damn wastes of roulette space is FRUSTRATING BEYOND BELIEF, i dont really care for these supercars most of the time but putting an arbitrary time limit on TOP of them is just ridiculous, furthermore made even worse if you get a duplicate invite.. as you have completed wasted that ticket too.
Though to continue on about the roulettes, them simply existing is an issue.. Especially by locking engineswaps behind them, and having paltry amounts of money in them too. for example tonight it gave me only 100k... whch i can already make (nearly) by grinding the Fisherman's Ranch Dirt Champions event for 97.5k (clean race bonus applied)
To further elaborate on another aspect found in the abhorrent roulette, specifically one of the prizes - the engineswaps, why tie such an important feature behind what are essentially non-paid lootboxes. they are also really limited in swappability too, NA MX5 can have the RX-7 engine, why not the ND? it just seems uterly baffling of a decision to not allow more varied swap options currently.
Also do not get me started on the physics - specifically with the RWD cars, that suffer from oversteer much more than they did in the past with the same tyres, its ridiculous. FR/MR cars barely stand a chance in Daily Races.
Speaking of daily races, the Hybrid aspect of some cars not being accounted in the PP system. that PD had touted early on in the Feburary state of play and used in the pre-release Sport races (including having a Daily C) only to not use them during launch.. it just makes no sense to me at all.. wait i've gone on a tangent here, but still.
I sincerely apologise if this comes off as rambly and bordering on venting that maybe should've fit better in another thread, but i dont think a single post in a often ignored thread would really suffice and get my issues/point across satisfactorily. even if knowing full well the people behind the games will most likely not see this. because this game DOES have some good points too such as the greatly expanded Scapes mode, the return of classic tracks and the racing car physics being fairly improved, oh and also the DualSense implementation being pretty great as well. I absolutely hate that my first GT7 thread is a complaint one, but i've been playing the game since it released last friday, and tonights roulette is the moment that broke the proverbial camel's back for me.
EDIT (11|03|2022): Also the fact you dont gain money from custom lobbies is also ridiculous.
EDIT (12|03|2022): Custom Lobbies pay money again, but the payouts are pretty poor, 18k for a 6 lap Bathurst race in Stock Clio's (2nd Place)
