I'm the definition of a casual player so yeah 
I tend to float between lots of game at once and rarely settle on a single game that dominates my playtime (Elden Ring being the only one in recent years
) but I don't have any racing games and it's an obvious gap in my library.

strawberry float it, I've ordered this as I just need to scratch that itch and I watched the Digital Foundry review of the PS5 version and it just looks superb.
Should arrive tomorrow, just in time for a rare free evening to myself in front of the TV

If you check my posts in the previous pages and I loved it. It's probably the best Gran Turismo ever I've played.

I've put a decent amount of hours into this, here's my take so far:
Pros:
- graphics are AMAZING, it runs extremely smoothly and everything just looks hyper-realistic. Truly a WTF IS DIS REAL scenario.
- handling is fantastic, the Dualsense really fights you on the triggers when it comes to heavy braking, very impressive
- all of the cars and tracks just nail it, it's really quite something when you manage to climb the field and win a race on the last corner
- I do enjoy the menus as it gives me some focus on progression, but I also think there's a con in there...
Cons:
- music is typically weird, GT has always had a pretty odd choice but whatever
- rolling starts seem to be the only way the races start, which is a shame
- also irritates me that in a championship race I can win the first race but then I'm right at the back again for race #2, just not realistic
- roulette rewards are BULLSHIT
- the little avatars that waffle on at you are pretty annoying. Go away, Luca, just shut your mouth
- I do feel that the progression isn't as natural as in previous GTs. I wanted to buy my old Japanese street car and just climb the ladder, whereas the Menu system forces you down the path that GT wants you to go down, so you end up unlocking loads of cars that you may or may not have any interest in. I can see their thinking behind it, but I would have preferred total freedom to do it my way. I dunno, a bit undecided on that aspect.
- I also have no idea where my race replay screenshots get saved to (My Library? Where the strawberry float is that?)

I think I've only once not won the lowest cash amount, and that was when I won a crappy car part. Hopefully any kids playing will learn gambling doesn't pay

I think after the 4th one I totally checked out, I have zero expectation of ever getting anything decent from them. Bastards

Played a load of this now and I'm really enjoying it. On last night's play I won the World Tour Championship 700 using my ridiculously OP Camaro ZL1 1LE ‘18 (power limited to scrape in at 699PP), the car is absolute rocket . Still bummed out with the constant rolling starts - starting at the back of a field of 20 on the Nurburgring Nordschleife is a real challenge and it's normally a case of 1 mistake and I've lost any chance of a podium finish.
Up to about 2million credits now so going to invest in one of the top cars and put some miles on it, will have to research what might be the best one to go for - any recommendations?

I find lower powered mid engine stuff more fun than things like that red bull or formula cars. Give me a 300bhp mid engine rwd car any day, stick some gooseberry fool tyres on it and go to the nordschliefe!
Edit: like this, where I had the worst tyres on the rear and good ones on the front for drifting, and totally forgot before taking my first lap of that track. You can actually see me gooseberry fool myself the first time I try to take a corner

Lower powered stuff is definitely more fun, if you go past the limit it’s not an instant off most of the time either, so you can have fun without it being irritating if you keep going deep on your braking points. I’ll nearly always stick with my soft slick tyre clad, overly powered Civic Type R thats prone to understeer
