Can someone explain how this game is still fun?

[CnPx]

Sorry the hole post is in bold. It was glitching and making half bold and half not so it was either all or half. I chose all.

I loaded up the game once since the new update. It took me a long time to build up the courage to load it up (I was debating if the game was actually worth my time). I started up a race got to half way through and remembered I have Netflix so I quit the game again.

• Right so if you buy credits you will spend them and be straight back to where you started so I feel like even if you are silly enough to buy micro-transactions you are only putting a bandaid on your problem.
• This is obvious but you would have to repeat the same race for a hole day just to buy 1 legendary car (Not even tune it)
• There is less races in this game then Gran Turismo 3 on the Ps2 (GT3 made in the year 2001 over 2 decades old)
• The core racing is very similar to GTSport which you haven't got to spend money on to buy your favourite car. You just don't have the option to tune it but then you know Sport mode is balanced as your car is the exact same as someone else using the same car.
• 90% of this game is copied directly from GTSport so most of the stuff you can do in GT7 you can do in the previous game
• If you have a PC or Xbox you can play Forza Motorsport 7 which overall offers more fun then Gt7
• Is it really fun repeating the same race 100 times just to buy a new car? If its the tuning aspect that you enjoy the most then you can already do this in Need for Speed?
• GT7 hasn't brought anything new to the racing genre. Everything in this game has already been done. This isn't next generation racing. The Sophy AI hasn't even been added to the game so there for the only next gen thing hasn't been added to the game. Also Kaz stated that we need to wait for the rest of the races. So would you even call this game complete? That's clearly enough reason for Sony to have to allow a refund right there.

Overall the game isn't made with any passion which really shows. It just feels so empty and rushed. Even if I buy another car there is hardly any races to enjoy with that car. The Sport mode just overall isn't that fun for me. When I am playing it I am not working towards anything and I am not that good at the game compared to allot of people so I never come in the top 3 which makes the reward around 5k if not less credits.
The single player isn't even a real campaign. It's just a random bunch of races. Remember single player on GT Sport where there was a huge variety of race series. Each 1 was different. You would select 1 and it would be 5 races all in cars with Rotary engines or another 1 and it would be Beatles and campers and another that would be F1. There was such a wide variety of types of races. Why is that not in GT7. You still get the same concept but it has been made so basic and boring. Like there was only 5 or 6 unique races in the hole game. Not counting rally events as I wouldn't call this unique. If you still have GTSport downloaded. Just go on there and check out the variety of race events. Maybe even sit there and play a few races and tell you you don't have more fun playing that game than you do on GT7? The time when GT7 was down I was playing GTSport and honestly its made my opinion of GT7 way lower.
With Sport I am constantly playing new races because I know my credits are going up at a good rate no matter what races I am enjoying.
With Gt7 I am playing the same few races because nothing else pays well enough to be worth my time.
In GTSport I am using loads of different cars because the races have a hugely wide variety of event types that only certain cars qualify in.
GT7 the race restrictions are so basic you mainly just use the same cars all the time and I am repeating the same races as well so I am using the same car all the time anyway. Its just a PP restriction, Ferrari or rally. I think there was Ford F150 or something aswell. There you go that's all of GT7s unique race types. FUN!
In GTSport there is over 300 races to enjoy
In GT7 there is 90. I actually counted them. This includes all the menu book races. Not including champion ships thou. So we will be generous and add an extra 30 races for those (Even thou its less that that) so 120 races.
GTSport tuning is free. Or it cost milage points but you get more of those then you'll ever use. So its basically free.
GT7 tuning cost so many credits that you need to spend around 3 hours repeating the same race just to fully tune your car. Don't have the tires to qualify for a race? Well FU! go hit that track again.

I can't be bothered to list anymore. At this point its not even a comparison. GTSport is just overall more fun and a better game. I don't care about spoilers, defusers and body kits so much that I am willing to spend all day going round the track to try them out on a single car.

If you can think of anything to add then hit those comments up. But overall GT7 is just not a good game. It brings nothing new that hasn't already been done in another game. The only thing new its brought to the GT series is body kits and defusers.
Missions and circuit experience is just a twist on licenses so I count them as the same thing.
Its not a Next gen racing experience but instead a copy and paste of GTSport with tuning added and then a paywall behind everything you do. If people are seriously gonna put money on that then that would be extremely silly and it will make Sony rip them off even more. If you are sensible then you won't give into peer pressure and Sony will realise this isn't the way to go about things and they mite have some warmth in that extremely cold heart and remove these bs mtx requirements.

 

[Stavwaite]

So far I am having great fun. Buying cars, taking part in different races, tuning and doing different styles. Last night got my first engine swap so going to build a super Civic 98. Bought the F40 which I was happy about as my favourite car of all time. Slowly working my way through the licences and Missions. I am on about menu book 30. Once I have completed all the Menu books will really start buying all the used cars.

 

[Lazybike]

I did my daily mileage using wobble 2 view in cockpit, it was good fun...but yeah lobbies are still buggy, could go to track but couldn't drive, some people were getting damage while others weren't, weird grip issues, no timings showing for some people.. although the servers were better last night at least no ping issues.

Did you:

Finish all Menues?
Finish all Missions?
Finish all "normal" Races available?
Finish all circuit experiences?
Try to beat your gold times on every licence?
Try to beat your gold times on the circuit experiences?
take part in the daily races?
customize all your cars?
create liverys for all your cars?
use scapes to create nice photos of your cars?
earned every trophy?
....

If your answer to all of those questions is yes than you might have a point and its ok to complain about the game!

 

[Boxster]

I am having fun.
Finished the menus after 10 days, am now busy finishing licences all gold. Well underway with missions and most of the days I do a GT3 800 championship for 450K credits. I got 80 cars from the menus etc and have picked up a couple of nice Ferraris and Japanese classics so far, spending some 8 million.

I understand the irritation about MTX. I think the pricing of credits is outrageous, esp for a game that I bought for €70. I will never buy any credits though, so for me it could as well never exist. I think the payout for races is too stingy. I think the content is too limited at this point. But I like the game basics and I am able to play the game in a way I thoroughly enjoy. So I am not foaming at the mouth every other minute I post here.

Wow these are really picking at bottom of the barrel scraps. Yeah I guess people can't have any complaints unless they flash their platinum trophy badge at the door huh. Make sure you go back and beat all your gold times again to REALLY make sure your brain wasn't deceiving you about the fun you weren't having.

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

Sorry, I just read your title and then saw a giant pile of word salad that I decided to avoid.

For me, it's fun because the handling physics are different and my dumb monkey brain is fascinated with finding optimum limit while gaining ground on my account.

I already got my daily ticket and two online races crashed on me, so I just played some single-player races until I became bored. Oh wait, I totally crushed the GT finale and finished the Cafe BS earlier too.

 

[Noz]

Well thats what racing is all about, getting better, learning your racing lines, beat your times or the times of your friends, again and again, that has nothing to do with platinum trophys!
And sure, you can have complaints, but the question was "how someone can still have fun with this game" and that was just my answer, whats wrong about that?

Not everyone is an obsessive completionist, many of the points you are listing won't appear in anyway as fun for most players.

That answer is only a silly appeal to purity. No one should be able to criticize this game before they checked all your points. That's nuts.

You want us to believe that's the way YOU enjoy this game, fine. It does not mean everybody want to play as you do nor has to in order to voice their opinion.

the question was "how someone can still have fun with this game" and that was just my answer, whats wrong about that?

You did not answer "This is the way I am having fun" but asked OP if he has done everything in your list before complaining he does not have fun. That's not the same answer. And we see a lot of answers like yours with other completionists for whom you can not speak until you've done their list of tasks in the game.

What will be next ?

• Did you get the platinum trophy while playing blindfolded ?
• Did you get the platinum trophy while playing with one hand ?

There is no end to this, and it does not erase the fact that there are many thing to criticize about this game.

I have finished all the menus and gold on all the license and missions. The point of my post was to say how this game has way less content to enjoy then the previous game in the series.
How buying a legendary car would take a full day of doing the best money maker in the game. How you not thought about how long you're playtime would need to be in order to acquire every car in the game?
Also what happens if a dealership token comes up for a car that cost 2m? You would need to spend around 5-6 hours of solid racing to get 2m within 2 to 3 days. Not everyone has that time on there hands because they have jobs and families. Some people just like to turn on game on for a couple hours here and there. Why should they miss out on cars?
I can't believe people are actually sticking up for a game that doesn't care about them. This game has less races then Gran Turismo 3 yet your saying it has tons of content to enjoy. The ps2 games have more content.

Also half your list is completely irrelevant to the core gaming experience.
Maybe I don't want to customise all my cars and I would rather keep them standard.
Creating photos of all my cars. Didn't realise I had to do that
Creating liveries with all my cars. Again I didn't realise I needed to do that. I actually prefer my cars with standard pain jobs.
Complete daily races? I personally prefer to play Single player as online multiplayer isn't my thing.
Completed every trophy. Again this is something that trophy hunters do and isn't required as a part of the core gaming experience. I also believe there is trophy tide to do large amounts of online which I don't wanna do. Like driving 9000 miles with players online.

So your todo list mite be what you personally are working towards but for me I want to be able to enjoy races and tune cars. But instead I am stuck going round the same races over and over because its the only way to earn money in this game. Oh but then in the last update they even cut the best money makers in the game completely in half as if they weren't bad enough already. Have you not read anything online recently about this game? Its a complete dissapointment because Gran Turismo has never been like this before. This game is more grindy than any other game in the series by a long shot. But everything you achieve doesn't have any sense of accomplishment because someone else who is willing to spend real money can get the same achievement in a matter of seconds. So there is no way to show off your hard work. The devs didn't even give anyone apology gifts for not allowing them to play there own game for over a day. I paid £70 for something that I couldn't use because they messed up and they couldn't even be like "Sorry we messed up have a car as an apology" do you not realise how scummy that is. Or have you set your expectations so low that you just expect games to be completely pay to win now? Because I expect my games to be consumer friendly. And award those who are willing to spend real money the same as those who don't. As people who spend real money should do it as appreciation to the developer rather then because they felt they were forced to. This is why in games its normally cosmetics only and not credits to buy cars which normally take hours to acquire.

And sure, you can have complaints, but the question was "how someone can still have fun with this game" and that was just my answer, whats wrong about that?

I have completely every piece of content in the game. I didn't get gold on all the circuit experience thou. But everything else I have. This was supposed to be a single player focused game and yet it has less single player content than the Playstation 2 games?
The only way to get expensive cars in this game is to repeat races that you have already done over and over. So the developers realised people could earn credits without buying them from the PS Store so they then cut the rewards in half? Do you not see how scummy that is? Its been over 2 weeks since the game came out and they still haven't gave us anymore content.
So yh its hard for me to have fun with this game because I have done everything. Then I wanted to spend some time messing about tuning different cars. But now it takes to long to save up for cars because the rewards got slashed. I wouldn't have minded them slashing the rewards if they gave me more content. But nope I now have to repeat content I have already completed even more then I was repeating it already.

[MrNukki]

It is fun, like making liveries, joining random lobbies to muck around in, using scapes, custom races and such, there is fun to be had. I get that it has less content than the previous entries in the series, which is inexcusable, but it is still enjoyable, even if it may seem on the contrary. We should've gotten more here, being that this the "ultimate, most complete vision" of the Gran Turismo series.

Also, you are comparing GT7 with the completed GT Sport, after years of free updates. Even it was bare bones at launch. No, this does not excuse the fact that GT7 is light on content, either. Just stating the obvious.

I just asked how people are having fun with this game. I never said they shouldn't be. Personally I don't enjoy it anymore. I think GTSport had a wider variety of content that is more enjoyable. Mite not be to everyone but it is for me. Opinions are opinions. But telling someone they can't have an opinion unless they have got the platinum trophy and completed gold on every single event in the game whilst riding a unicycle is a bit far fetched.

 

[XSquareStickIt]

I do not exaggerate when I say that if not for my friends and crew (GT Sport's Car of the Week, check us out if you have the time!), I would have out down Sport a long time ago, and never bothered with 7.

Every one of yoyr complaints is not only valid, but very true. I've found that in modern GT games, instead of the game being inherently fun, I have to make my own fun. Is there a dream car of mine I'd like to create in digital form? A livery? A photo of it at that certain place? Etc.. How does this car compare to that car? Is it worth the credits? Things of the sort. Once I have a goal, the rest sorts itself out.

Right now I'm grinding credits in my free time hoping that I can afford the 787B when it shows up in the LCD. In the meantime, it's fun to compare licence and circuit experience times with my friends, some of whom are very skilled, but who also set attainable goals.

 

[Nuschel01]

The point of my post was to say how this game has way less content to enjoy then the previous game in the series.

Then why does the title ask for how people still have fun?

There's so much to do outside of racing, I find myself in the livery editor for hours doing a replica livery to 99% correctness without even noticing I've spent half the day on it. And for me, if something wastes time so fast without noticing, it's a sign of great fun.

 

[jgtc_lover]

After playing ACC for the last couple years, I'm having a lot of fun in my small collection of museum-quality rendered Japanese econo- ****-boxes.

I don't know what Cafe Menu I'm on and I don't care, I'm not speed running this game. I keep going back to replay the races with my aforementioned econo-***** learning each track and enjoying the cars that I like in my collection. I'm sure there's some out there who think I'd be wasting my time by not just jumping to the grind-hustle races, but I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to calculate how much credits I can get by racing the same car on the same track 100 times and measuring out how many times I need to mash the X button to get through the menus. But I'm also sure as hell not going to pay for the MTX ********.

I don't care how long it's going to take me to get enough money to buy a legendary, and by the time I start to care more races will probably be added to the game. In fact, it seems like there aren't even any races to compete with these cars in the game yet. It's been almost 10 years since the last numbered GT game came out, it'll probably be just as long until the next one, so I'm in this for the long haul. If it takes me 5 years of racing my econo-buckets to get 20 mil to get a car I want, then so be it, I'll make sure I get the one I really want and enjoy it even more for it.

I know some people will want to screech at me that people like me are the reason the gaming industry sucks today, but I really don't care that PD's game plan here was to release the game as-is and add more content later. The last AAA game that I bought on launch was Cyberpunk, AND I LIKED IT. I'm the type of person that pre-orders Bethesda games, hell I even bought Skyrim on day 1 ON THE PS3. I bought (in a gamestop bundle, cuz I'd rather over pay a little for that then give my money to those scalping ebay vultures) a PS5 for the sole purpose of playing GT7 which I don't regret it at all. The outage yesterday really sucked, but I knew that was always a possibility as I knew it was an always online game before I bought it. I also remember the outages on the PS3, so it wasn't really surprising to me.

But I've had a lot of fun with GT7 so far. I like reading the car descriptions and histories. I like grabbing a cup of coffee and leaving my screen on the garage display mode and just staring at my car for 5 minuets as the camera rotates around it. I like how the UCD works because I've had the experience of checking craigslist every single day for the better part of a year looking for a specific car. PD seems to have really captured the experience of car collecting with a lot more detail then people realize.

I don't think it's a perfect game by any means, but a year from now it'll probably look like a completely different game, which seems to be how the game industry works these days.

Also, you are comparing GT7 with the completed GT Sport, after years of free updates. Even it was bare bones at launch. No, this does not excuse the fact that GT7 is light on content, either. Just stating the obvious.

The point was that GT7 has less hours of entertainment then the PS2 games. They didn't have any updates. Those games came out with the content on the day of release. The point in updates was to improve upon the complete game not release 20% of the game at release and then give me the other 80% over the space of 5 years. It should be I get 100% of the game on release and then anything extra is a bonus. 90 races in a racing game is just pathetic. That's including menu books. then another 20 to 30 races from the champion ships. Licenses, missions and stuff shouldn't make up for 80% of the single player experience in a racing game. Its supposed to be a racing simulator not a driving licenses simulator. Even the developer admitted this game had barely any content.

I feel like people have set there expectations so low that they just allow for games to be this bad. If a developer tried doing this a decade ago people would be outraged. But these days its normal. I think that's where I go wrong is because I expect better then I am the one in the wrong. But is it wrong to expect more value for money. That I feel I should get a finished product when I spend my money and not have to wait for it. Even after 2 weeks the developers haven't added any races. All they have done is fixed a couple things and made it even harder for people to do what they enjoy. And I am wrong for criticising that? This is a clear case of anti consumer and people praise the developers because they improved upon a couple things so they could get away with extorting people. They had to improve some stuff or people wouldn't have bought the game in the 1st place.
I think people shouldn't criticise the developers for the stuff they are doing wrong. And making a single car take a full day of the best money maker to acquire. And the fact this game has barely any races and still no more have been added to this day. And how sport mode has no events where tuning is disabled. I am not saying everything in the game is bad but I think people shouldn't just except these practices or companies will only get worse and then people will set the bar even lower. It wouldn't surprise me if in the future racing games had 10 races.

Damn bro! Just looked.... Those liveries of yours are seriously good!
Keep it up man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Are they in GT 7 too?

 

[phatfat34]

For me it’s still fun to race cars. I have some of the cars I want and some I don’t. So I’m enjoying racing with the cars I have.

This is what the next generation experience of racing has to offer!

Im not artistic. I don't like making liveries. Its a racing simulator yet there is barely any races. I can't customise cars unless I repeat the same races for hours. But not those hours have been doubled because the devs don't want people to be able to earn credits for some reason?

 

[jackargent]

Literally what I was thinking. Oh you can't criticise the game until you have put a livery on every single car in the game and then took a picture with those cars in the scapes?
I just asked how people are having fun with this game.

I'm having fun. Thanks for asking.

Tsukuba,
20 laps
Torrential rain to sunshine
Professional difficulty
Old Porsche.
Enjoy!

Race reward is 30k when the Clubman cup which is 5 laps earns 25k? This just makes custom races unappealing. I don't know why the devs don't double the custom race rewards so then they are more fun to do and they wouldn't have to worry about getting more races out. But I am guessing they don't care about adding more races to the game or they would have done it by now. My guess is they want people to be as bored as possible with the content in the game so they spend money on credits.

The game isn't only about making max credits in min time

i do nt really think people should be comparing to any title pre GT5 really, you have to remember this games were final and had to last a number of years so the level of content needed to be high.

Titles from PS3 onwards were getting continuous updates and expanded over time something the earlier titles couldn’t do, GT7 has also only been out 2weeks!

Admittedly I never really spent any time on GTS so the last game I put serious time into was GT6.

I did the Cafe stuff with 3-4days and currently working through the missions (need to gold 4 more) then I’ll start on IB licences on wards. My DD Pro arrives Monday so I’ve been waiting for that before I finish the licence stuff and go through all the events not cafe related.

Overall I’m happy with the current level of content but I would like to see stuff added (free dlc) within the 1st 3 months which I think is reasonable

No its about collecting cars and racing them. But to collect cars you need credits. So indirectly its about making credits.

You ask people how they're having fun with the game, they tell you, to which you just respond that those things aren't fun for you. What's the point in asking then?

Genuinely, you need to take a break, you're souring the experience for yourself and if you continue down this route it'll become permanent. Return to the game when you feel the urge, even if just for the simple joy of driving a car round the ring a few times to admire the graphics, or come back when there's a content update, or don't come back hell, find another game that gives you more of what you actually want.

There's plenty of things to do and see in the game, as others have tried to explain based on what's fun to them, but it doesn't matter when you're in this headspace of demanding the game constantly entertain you. It honestly sounds stressful.

Drive something you want to drive, at tracks you like, and the credits will come. If you get hung up on collecting credits, you'll end up doing the same race over and over and over and over and over and end up thinking that the game is repetitive and not fun.

I got every car I wanted in GT Sport using the former method and I was not bored at any point.

However, as @CnPx has decided the game isn't fun, and knocked back every suggestion that attempts to make it so, I don't get the point of this thread.

earned every trophy?
....

If your answer to all of those questions is yes than you might have a point and its ok to complain about the game!

Yeah, no. Given that one of those trophies is "buy three very expensive cars" and another is "drive 8200 miles" there's no way it's reasonable to expect someone to complete every trophy before they're allowed to critique the game.
