aI agree 100%.
I won't be going near GT8 after this mess. I know I keep saying it, but PD have burned me for the last time with their lies. Leading up to GT7 they proudly claimed it was the be all and end all of the GT franchise, the game that has gone back its roots with a "traditional GT mode" campaign and being the most complete to date.
After release the massive flaws are discovered in both the singleplayer and online components of the game. What was skillfully marketed as the most complete was quickly discovered as the most incomplete in many, many ways. Add to that their shady as **** behaviour with the review copies and macrotransactions, then pulling content from the review copies. They claim a game as a service, but its been nothing remotely resembling that. Minimal content drops (singleplayer races), minimal communication, no road map, many GLARING issues that still are not fixed.
It is such a shame because like many others have said, the driving itself feels so damn good and fun. I think PD need alot more practice with GaaS because they are up there with the worst devs to have a Gaas. Slow, quiet, deaf.
