Alright, I caught up on about 15 pages before asking the question "should I buy GT7?"
I was willing to put up with the "early adopter" beta testing phase, and glitches that a new launch may come with.
PD fixing the economy (or at least heading in the right direction) won major points with me, and it almost made me pull the trigger but I held off.
With Lotus still missing, it brought up the old wounds of licensing issues and missing icons. We're still missing Volvo, Caterham, KIA, Daihatsu, Cadillac, Koenigsegg (this would actually be a first in GT), Isuzu, Lister, Buick, Marcos, Cizeta, Panoz, Saleen, Scion, Tommykaira, AC, Triumph, Bentley, Opel, Vauxhall, SEAT, Holden...
Seeing that Geely own Volvo, Polaris, and Lotus, we can kiss our beloved cars from those brands goodbye.
That's just the stuff I remember off the top of my head!
What about the manufacturers that we do have licensing for? Where are the AMG wagons?? Where are the Audi wagons? The Kei cars, the muscle cars, the hot hatches, the sport saloons, the Yakuza whips 😂...
The immense variety is what made GT special. I can't believe I'm actually missing the days where I had to scroll past 34 variants of a given Skyline.
They don't even have a solid core, let alone the side content to give this game longevity. I want to be a part of this game so bad, and I truly hope that this makes it the long years that Kaz has envisioned but God dammit, it's so hard to get on board.
