(sorry if not allowed/duplicate)
My impressions, got the game yesterday:
First GT game I've bought since 5.
Insert the disk begins "installing" - is taking multiple hours to complete. What it was actually doing is downloading the latest version of the game - 97hours total on my crappy internet.
Someone on reddit suggested disable the wifi and restart. Now the game installs in about 40 mins.
Next up 18GB update - ~6hrs download on my internet. Leave it running all day.
Start the game - 10 minute intro video - unskippable.
Next spinning GT7 logo for few minutes - then maintenance warning.
Main menu starts to load - spinning GT7 logo bottom right - multiple minutes waiting.
Main menu, because there it can't connect it just points to "World Circuits", that's it.
Oh and each subsequent startup of the game delivers the unskippable intro movie.
Why is all of the single player content require an internet connection, and then not actually function when it can't connect to it's own crappy infrastructure. PD have become the most complacent Sony studio. And this unfortunately sets the bar for forthcoming "GaaS". Hooray the future.
Who in their right mind looked at this and decided it was appropriate?
Horrible, horrible first impression. I've not actually played a race yet.
