The Things That Annoy You

[Voodoovaj]

I am so over this "campaign"... it's just not fun if you have to be the WAY better driver (means it's not competitive) to catch up from 20th to 1st everytime.

I literally posted an answer to this in another thread.

The answer is that Gran Turismo campaigns are not set up as races. The AI does not race you, or the other AI. The game is set up to do what players enjoy the most, which is passing other cars. So, where people think they are "racing" all they are really doing is progressing through stages of catching and passing the cars ahead of them.

Or you'll have to balance it with your PP, often resulting in a much faster car, which can't really be the point, can it?

Yes, yes this is EXACTLY the point.

You are meant to buy a car, and pump it up, to beat the "race". But it's just a time limit thing. Like the licenses, or the track experience, or the missions, it is really just about finishing the race within a predetermined time. If you can do that, you win.

If you pay close attention, and forget the illusion of there being in a race, you will see that it's just a parade.

Why no qualifying? Why is the AI still on PS2 levels?

There's no qualifying, because there is nothing to qualify against, because there is no "race".



And this brings me to what annoys me. The constant reminder that they didn't care.

I'd like to able to compare my sector / lap times , scores, to someone else than the 1 friend I have who has GT7. Why not showing global rankings like any game would do?

I'd like to contemplate how many times I failed before getting the Gold on licenses, missions and track experiences.

I wish all events would have different categories, 400pp, 500pp, 600pp, 700pp plus Year/Country of cars...

What about events that require the S license. Is there even one event that requires it???

We buy all this legendary cars but barely have any race to use them properly, it's a bit crazy. What race can you do with that monster of Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer '29 ?

 

[NikNakTobasco]

I’ve got an actual little annoying thing. Starting the qualifying laps 30 seconds from the start!

This. PD doesn't even need to do much. Just recycle the events with different restrictions. Or let us set the restrictions with the event as a base template.

 

[m76]

Not being able to switch camera views during the race countdowns.
Car setup being complete trial and error and unpredictable.like fitting worse tyres making a car more stable.
Adding aero sometimes decreases PP, in other cases increases it. Same for suspension height.
Weight reduction more often hurting the car's driveability than helping it.
Some cars being infinitely faster than others despite having the same PP.
The AI obstacle courses masquerading as races.

It starts just before the first slow corner, which I think makes sense. It's either that or an entire outlap like most other sims.

 

[s0cks]

What bugs me is that some of the menu books require you to complete 3 or more races, but if you finish race 1 and leave (with the intent of doing race 2 later), then you can't get back to play race 2 or race 3. You have to play race 1 all over again, and the points you got for race 1 are gone...

What if you want to change cars, or don't have the time to do all the races, or get interrupted?

Is there any workaround for this...???

You can load up race 2 (or 3) and then close the game. When you come back you'll start from race 2 (or 3). You have to insta-quit the game though, through the PS menu (either close application or power off).

 

[praiano63]

What annoying me ? This thing for example.

• I would love to be able to upload and download a ghost for any car i want on this lsit .
• For any car on this panel i would love to know what PP and tires used for each car on this list.

Not those stupid informations precipitation , temperature , wind direction and speed...

 

[Techlet]

I hate how blatantly rigged the roulette tickets are.

Yes, they're predetermined and weighed towards the lowest credit reward and the rest of the potential rewards are just window dressing but PD could have spent the minimum amount of effort needed to disguise that.

Do they not realize that having the players land on the worst reward out of a selection of only 5 over and over is just a bad experience or do they straight up not care? They could have easily dressed this system up like a slot machine where the best rewards aren't always in view. Or they could have displayed the number of "rewards" proportional to the odds of getting them. Or they could have simply made the predetermined reward not always be the worst choice, so at least the tickets felt fair.

 

[NikNakTobasco]

It starts just before the first slow corner, which I think makes sense. It's either that or an entire outlap like most other sims.

No. They could start it at the same place the CE start. Especially on tracks with a long straight to get to the start.

 

[Bosozoku]

Getting a silver/bronze on a mission/license/experience and the default option being quit and not retry. People are going to want to use retry a lot more than quit.

Having to press O to stop that stupid "Racing Etiquette" video anytime I go into sport mode.
I have a SR of A, I know how to drive in a good manner.

Let it play all the way through and it won’t come up again

 

[Grayfox]

I should not need to see it in the first place.
PD could've been smart about it and make it play for those below SR of C.
Those of B and above know how to drive cleanly.

 

[Thimble]

The AI refusing to go full throttle in custom races. What’s the ****ing point like?

 

[Moglet]

This is a great idea and would be super easy to implement. They already have the stats from GT Sport so why not utilise them?

They’ll just get called elitist or whatever. Not worth the hassle for them for such a minor thing.

 

[I-Runner]

I think that I've HATED this thing since the first time I played GT and I've cited it in a similar topic in another GT section of GTPlanet in the past :
-The stupid/dull movement of the camera/view during the count down of a test/trial , see any replay (or live stream) on YT about the drag missions ...all against the concentration
... my question is, as always, WHY

Passing through an automatic video skip based on SR should be a fairly trivial change but you're right, I doubt they think it's worth it when it can be skipped anyway

 

[Factor41]

Those of B and above know how to drive cleanly.

I've seen quite a lot of evidence to the contrary.

 

[Grayfox]

I've seen quite a lot of evidence to the contrary.

Then they drop below B.

 

[Tahlendorf]

BoP, it forces us to drive competitively on predetermined setups and the cars are not on equal terms by far. Some of them have decent setups (or crappy physics) and are OP. Others are being held hostage under poorly developed setups (or just being underperformant).

Hope they make BoP right, with nice developed setups for every car, and the posibility to tune at least the aero and brake balance according to the circuit and weather conditions.

Hoping for a day with BoP races and a grid with several competitive choices of car selection (not almost everybody in the same OP car).

You're talking about the angles during count down?
An annoying thing brought in since GT3.

I hate it.

Livery editor...

Lack of ability to EDIT the standard livery of a car I have bought. (e.g. I might want to add a license plate to cover up the ugly car name, but doing so destroys the entire existing livery. If I take my car to the RMV they don't insist that I remove the manufacturer's stripes and badges.)

Lack of ability to paint decals with Special paints (e.g. I often want to match the decal with the Real Car Color)

Lack of ability to choose a different texture on each decal. (I also want a wider range of textures)

Lack of ability to Group and Copy/Paste decals and shapes (similar to what MacDraw had back in about 1985)

Lack of ability to (temporarily) group the Body and the Hood/Bonnet of a car as a target so I can place a stripe perfectly which spans the hood and body.

Lack of ability to paint individual wheels different colors (e.g. to simulate the look of a beat up car)

Lack of ability to place decals on (individual) wheels (e.g. to make them look rusty)

Lack of Real paint colors for the "Mini" out of the 1960s.

Lack of actual "British Racing Green". The in-game BRG is strangely blue and metallic-looking. You can get a much more realistic BRG (for free!) in the Colour Picker H=154, S=100, V=14. You may need to tweak the "V" depending on your TV or monitor.

My car disappearing when it approachds/enters the pits

 

[05XR8]

Probably for the millionth time, not being able to sell cars. I can't delete the cars I'm not using. Can't hide them in a folder somewhere and have to see them when I choose the car next to one of them. Favourites don't stay on the front page. Can't group vintage cars together if I select one just to tune, remove/add parts.

 

[s0cks]

No. They could start it at the same place the CE start. Especially on tracks with a long straight to get to the start.

No I don't think so. Long straight or not, your speed at the start line will be determined by how good your last corner exit was, so they make you do the last corner exit yourself, which I think makes sense. CE is irrelevant because you're racing a preset time for one lap.

This is so annoying. It's 2022 - we should be able to view and sort global leader board times by: PP level, Car class, drive type, individual car and anything else you could think of. We should be able to view/race ghosts of other players on the leaderboards.

We are forced to always stay online - this kind of thing should be one of the positives that come from it.

 

[mercgoat]

A pop up telling me to take a deep breath I'm doing good after I very slightly grazed a wall after a jump for the tenth time on a dirt ce.

Totally agree.
We should also have all the cars to buy from the dealership like in GT6, instead of having the Legendary Car Dealership which is BS to have. This game is not GT7 it's more like GT Sport 2 game and the structure is terrible, and Kaz is a disgrace on what he has done to this game.
