Why did you stop playing GT 7?

[CobraMJD]

I stopped once, because I beat the game, the single player was short, they promised a strong nostalgic GT1 experience, and I'm still waiting though.
The legendary cars were too expensive and I reached my limit on license test and missions.

But I returned to the game with spec II and still playing. Every week some missions to play and get easy money motivated me to keep collecting more cars.

Bored by the car and track lineup. I want Pikes Peak and a Model S Plaid.

Can't help you with PP, but if you want the Plaid experience: get in the Chiron on a straight/oval track & mute the sound.

You aren't missing much with the Plaid; I've seen TT'd Mustang's gap that ugly thing, let alone cars that are actually fast.

Ignorant comment. I own a plaid, drive it every day, and I promise it’s an absolute blast. But by all means tell me about some YouTube video you saw.

MP is more or less dead now. Only a handfull of rooms with diehard fans.

I haven't! Because even though I beat the single player thing within 2 months, my time is spent almost exclusively in Sport Mode.

And there are things which I absolutely HATE, things that INFURIATE ME, mostly about broken penalty system or BS meta dominance paid for by manufacturers.

However, the value for money (€65 game and over 1800 hours so far) and overall improvement in my own driving make all the downer points feel like they are nothing compared over the positives.

I wish plenty of things are different or improved but overall 10/ 10 from me.

** EDIT **

Shame on me! Even though I've been playing since GT1 on PS1, it was this game which introduced me to this community, which has been amazing! So another "plus point" in my rating of GT7

If GT7 is your first, you don't know what you missed with GT3 4 5 6. 5 especially had the most fun online. You'd fall under the casual gamer category then. Separate from the die hard GT fans like myself who only want the series to improve rather than "diversify" it's goals or direction.

I didn't really stop but play way less now. The three tracks in sports mode aren't enough for me. It should be a rotation of at least 3-4 tracks in each group to make it more interesting with at least a daily qualifying needed if not a qualifying between every race. I like the Forza Motorsport online format a lot more. It's just more fun.

Forza is more fun for single player too I reckon. Once I get my pc I don't think I can go back to gt7, there's too little to do in this state and half the community moved on since the server issue a long time ago

I play a lot less since Forza Motorsport was released,even though its a`bit of a mess`I do enjoy it a lot.Its nice to have a different racing game,having said that,ive started my 4th playthrough of MGS5 so I flit between the 3 games.
The addition of buying engines swaps got me interested in GT7 again.

Which engine swaps are you excited for? My theory is they already have them all planned out, but drip feeding us. They've still not given us that engine swap for the vw bug that was in like the teaser gameplays ages ago. Artificial scarcity.

I think I'm going to rotate between GT7, inertial drift and NFS unbound cause I got crazy amount of customising left to do in unbound and money problems doesn't look too bad in that game

There's a pretty insane theory that they tried to divide fans for GT7. I've posted it on these forums not too long ago

In any case, for me it was Sony's fault for locking out older model wheels. Why can't I use a G27 on a PS5? Oh right... you want me to drop a grand

I have a G27 and it doesn't work on the PS4, it's locked on the GT6. You probably referring to G29? This s*CKS, each edition not working on the next gen for no reason. $$$

Correct. I got around the Ps4 lockout using GIMX adapter and was quite happy with this solution as I could also edit sensitivity and ffb details, got to around 80% of the ffb detail if it were officially supported I reckon. Enough for me to basically place top 5 every race that I cared for. Shame they've made it nearly impossible to use that adapter on PS5. Truly Sony needs to let gamers game how they want. It'll help them in the longer run by having people happier with their products. People are too smart and connected to fall for these tricks now. And PC gaming is looking better by the second. I didn't think console industry would be dumb enough to get more greedy with their feature removals and dumification tactics, but they have crossed way too many lines. Now that more console games are also being made for PC, esp on xbox side, it's gettting closer to game over for consoles. THe only reason to still get consoles are the increasingly (deliberately unsatisfactory) bad ports to the PC if you're running on budget or mid hardware

People with money will buy everything but in future... i reckon gamers on a budget will 100% sell their launch console and flock to PC if they do even a little research. PS plus subscription is a big f-n joke with these 30% price hikes. Could buy myself a new CPU GPU instead of paying so much for just an arbitrary online ripoff package deal

Oh didn't know that, I will check it out, but my wheel is there on dust for years, maybe it could work well.

GIMX adapter – GIMX

This one was it I'm sure. You can also make your own using the guides on the forum. They're very transparent about the limits of the device. For Ps4 and any older consoles tho, no better adapter than this for pure customizability, value and fun

That's a bit arrogant to say.. I did write that I have played and completed all games since it launched in 2009. GT7 is the first time I played online and I doubt 1800 hours just on this game itself is "just" a casual gamer, especially since I consistently float between top 200 ~ 500 in Race B and Race C times, with hundreds of Sport Mode races completed.

Anyways, to each their own.

Misread your comment. Actually hilarious that happened. I'm laughing. Anywho to those who are new to GT and fall infatuated with it, my point still stands they're not the same fans that grew up playing ps1/ps2 and for those new fans, I don't tend to care for their opinion. Call me arrogant, I don't mind the back and forth

I’d add that you’re opinionated too, not just by your Gt ramblings but those in other areas of this forum.

I’m an “infatuated” GT7 fan by your standards, yet I grew up playing GT1-4, GT PSP and came back to during Covid times GT Sport

 

[toddstar77]

Just ran out of time to sit there and grind away for credits to buy more cars..... dropped back in over the weekend, online races were a bit sparse. Still need more credits

I think you need to unplug for a while, this comment of yours shows that you are becoming too sucked in by the rabbit hole of online reputation. Step back and ask yourself, "what point was I making and is it clear?" You may surprise yourself

 

[wheelhp]

Haven’t quit playing it yet, that will most likely happen if a better game comes out if they don’t fix some issues before then.

I have a solution though. Let players tune cars, create custom races and share those races. But you have to use everything they’ve applied to the race which means driving their car, but maybe we could be allowed to apply our livery to it, or bring our car, but out their setup in. That would give a huge amount of new races to do.

Imagine being able to find a race for your 917k or Mark IV. I bet some people already have good custom races setup for many different cars.

Make it so we can rate the race out of 5 stars to make sure only the well setup races see the light of day.

I do recall something like this system in GT6. swore there were custom setups and modes online for that game.
GT5 did let you gift cars and share setups too

Had you on ignore, so had to click to see this. Honestly, GTplanet is not what it used to be. Used to lurk here years ago. The community is not the same and have moved forward in many ways. Not worth getting this invested in "standards/reputations" for this website. Many of my favourite banterous people got kicked off this website for one reason or another, so it's not the same for me. There's simply not enough interesting content here to obsess over to this extent. I'd recommend Youtube as a better source of entertainment..even with the crappy search engine

As for me, an internet user, being opinionated... welcome to the forums

 

[Dave A]

It seems like there's a general consensus of why GT7 didn't hit the mark for some people and why it does for others.

Personally, I'd say it's a shame it didn't offer a better single player experience, as I doubt that would have detracted from Sport/Online in any way. But even all this time later, the game feels like a missed beat to me. I'd love to have access to modding tools to create my own single player expeirence in GT7 as I can do with GT5 and 6.

The thought of creating championships with grid starts using the higher chilli AI and doing that for to make events that are for a much wider variety of cars and car types appeals. I'd also completely rebalance the games economy, I'd make the most expensive cars about 4m Cr and I'd rebalance the prize credits for all the races so you don't earn Cr too fast early on or too slow late on, as well as make use of all of the licenses. But I can't see that happening until some time after the game reaches end of life.

I just found GT7 became very stale for me after I bought all the Legend cars I was interested in. Career endurance races would help greatly in getting me back to play again. Across February and March I covered 22km as the updates for me were disappointing too.

 

[snowman_pr]

After Spec II, did a few weeklies (did I wrote that ok?) and having been playing since day 1, I suddenly realized I played out of habit more than fun since it's mostly the weekly race for credits or whatever prize and rinse and repeat. I love driving and actually had four straight weekends doing road trips from 7am to 8pm and kinda filled my driving pleasure doses doing them. The long stretches of road, curvy mountainous and coastal sections, all windows down and sunroof open with only car and wind noise. Then gaming wise I started and finished my third playthrough of RDR2, and still haven't played GT7 yet. Just, there's nothing to do other than grind, and man I love GT7, but I dunno... Maybe midlife crisis stuff...

 

[PirovacBoy]

After more or less having spend 3400+ hours in GT7, I decided to get Motorfest a few days ago and haven't touched GT7 since then.
GT7 was, is and ALWAYS will be my mainly played Racing Game but I just had to shift my focus.
I got bored of the Multiplayer aspect.

For the single Player part on which I have most probably spent 50% of my play time and which for me personally is lightyears more enjoyable than the Multiplayer part I'll eventually hover between this and Motorfest.

Nothing beats the endless possibilities of custom lobby racing in GT7.
Racing against the Ai is just phenomenal, no comparison to the borderline pathetic driving in Multiplayer lobbies.

But this Open World route which Motorfest is offering is a very much appreciated welcome and is currently keeping me away from going back to GT7.
Don't know for how long though... Only time will tell 😄
