Gran Turismo 7

So apparently preordered the game because a package arrived last Friday... lol...

I must be getting better at driving, but I think the license stuff is more forgiving now. I used to just get bronze in all of the license stuff but now I can achieve mostly silvers and maybe a gold here and there.

Dislikes:
- Having to follow a 'story.' Maybe it's because I selected beginner, but now the game has a storyline that one follows and it unlocks race tracks, cars, etc. I've played GT since GT2. Let me play it my way.
- Too much talking. From the story stuff above, to the ability to 'speak to' someone before a race, there's just too much talking.
- I wish they gave a bonus to completing the miles every day in multi-day-streaks type.

I'd love to get GT7 but I haven't had a gaming console setup in like a decade and could not justify spending $1200-1500+ on a new one at the moment lol. Eventually... I still have my Driving Force GT from the GT5 days so I hope that's still compatible (natively or with an adapter).

Man that game made me so damn mad because of that. I had EVERY SINGLE ACHIEVEMENT and EVERY SINGLE cup, race, etc. and could never figure out how to get that last 1%.

GT2 was rushed to make the holiday season, and the early versions were notoriously buggy. Among other things, it was literally impossible to get 100%. The game was supposed to have a drag racing mode which was dropped, and those events counted towards completion, which was not adjusted when the events were removed.
