Yep, I have over 2500hrs into that game (some of that is making liveries) but most has just been 2-4hrs on a Sunday and when the game first came out I was probably logging in every night for at least 2hrs probably more consistently 3hrs. Online multiplayer with friends.
Grinding this way burnt me twice and I stopped playing entirely for months. I don't play a lot, and everyday I was presented with a choice : chose something I enjoy to do but gets me peanuts, or grind some more (and 1 round of Sardegna was largely enough for my time and patience). Happy that the grind is behind me. Now when I switch the game on, I don't care about credits, just find something I want to do and go.lol...y'know, at this point I actually find it relaxing! It's like a mnemonic device...25 minutes with my morning coffee.
Just yesterday, I did what is I think the 5th engine rebuild on my grind car.
Sorry was in a bad mood haha. Maybe because I have less and less time to play the game. Makes it harder to even do any of the single player stuff and enjoy it. I did notice we have a few longer races that I haven’t completed which payout more. Not as much as sardegna etc. but better than nothing I guess. They need balance within the game. I don’t know who’s having more fun, the guy playing alone earning and collecting every single car or the guy racing with his buddies in single player lobbies. I feel they should both payout equal or close too. Time is money, just not in GT7.
Yeah, that's the way it was for me until the point where I'd finished collecting all the cars. Once that was done, I found I still liked doing the one grind run in the morning - just with the controller sitting on the couch. It doesn't take away from my "game time" because that morning half hour would otherwise just be spent browsing youtube or whatever. My "serious" GT7 time when I work on the TTs is evening time with the wheel rig. I'm still buying cars because now I want to collect the UCD and LCD cars in all the different colors but it's just a fun thing - there's no real sense of urgency or angst about it. In fact it's kinda fun checking the dealerships every day to see if there's some new variant there I don't have yet.
Well, I would grind Tokyo with all sorts of different cars tuned to 600pp. I probably have over 100 cars tuned to that range (the dumb updates probably skewed the numbers 3-15 points). But anyway, the grind isn’t bad if you keep trying new cars. Now I own all cars, all wheels, all paint colors and I’ve done probably 60-70% of all the engine swaps with all new cars. I have 105M credits in the bank and sadly, I’m not inspired to play the game that much. I do t know why. It’s not like earning the credits really was the point, but maybe it was???
I think I can answer this. I think the game would be fun if the single player had a lot less chase the rabbit and more neck and neck racing. Qualify 1st, but you might get first, you might get 2nd or 3rd or worse.
I do pretty much the same. At some point I will finally have all the cars. Got my last legendary a month or two ago but still have tons of brand central cars left.
Nice! Yeah, I do the TT, and count that as one of the weekly things. I usually get a bronze first lap out, easy money. Silver is possible, its just usually a lot more work and requires me to be more serious than casual.
