Gran Turismo 7 has been largely unplayable for half a day due to extended server maintenance (VCG)

This.
Microsoft was completely reamed at the time… and Sony was one of the first to jump on the bandwagon…
I’m amazed that a game like GT7 even requires an online connection. Outside of updates to fix bugs in the game and content updates, you should be able to play the game - period.
Its ok to provide enhanced experience if you happen to be online and want to take advantage of it, but to make a conscious design decision to require it for no real reason is absurd.

Update finally copying for me. The first few download attempts lead to server errors. Hopefully they got this fixed. People are gonna be pissed, myself included, if a weekend is lost this close to launch.

If this weekend starts without this problem solved...they will have to start allowing refunds at least for sure...this is a mess.

I remember all their dumb arguments
"Lmao where do you live where you dont have internet?"
"If you cant connect to the internet you probably have bigger worries than playing a videogame"

I would have already asked for a refund and reversed the charge on my CC for this kind of crap by now. This is also why I rarely buy any game on release date anymore…

I don't necessarily mind games being always online, but you sure as hell better get your infrastructure correct and deployment processes seamless. Right now I have a game on my PS5 that I can not play because they can't get their shit together, there should be some form of compensation for time offline.

To the people who bought this knowing it was always online despite hating it: you are part of the problem too.

It's Tom Warren and PlayStation. 19 seconds to download this already sounds like a lie...but to me, the Copy part took only me less than 10 minutes. Still ridiculous but yeah.

This is a car crash to forgive the pun. Could defend the progression but this is pretty embarrassing m, sticking to online only blowing up in your face. Still love the game mins you.

On fiber that's normal.

I know. i have it too. It's just that usually PS servers aren't that fast to me. I took almost 1 minute for this patch but yeah that depends on a lot of things.
Tom must be on dial up then because it took him 19mins apparently. It was 20 seconds

?? 19 seconds to download a 380 MB file is pretty normal if you have a decent connection. you can download 100 GB in 12 minutes if you have 1Gbps internet.
The copy thing drives me nuts because Cerny specfically said that the copy after patches would go away thanks to the PS5 ssd.
I upgraded my internet recently to 1 GBps and had to downgrade to 500 Mbps because of issues with my router, and was still able to download the entire 96 GB of Horizon in 20 minutes. But small 500 MB patches take 15-20 minutes to copy. It makes no sense.

Did the update 30 min ago. 13 Seconds to DL and a long ass time to copy it's indeed ridiculous.
I don't really care but it's weird. Just want to play this week end.

I played the shit out of GT Sports and very rarely do I remember servers being down. This is not the norm, but it made sense in GT Sports because other than time trials and licenses, there was literally no single player content in that game. It made sense that it was online only. It makes no sense in GT7 considering it has a single player campaign.
This is exactly what happens when critics and fans alike simply give in to shitty consumer practices. If critics had docked points for this and fans had revolted the moment it was announced as always online, this would not have happened. Even Dark Souls can be played offline.

Is it present on PS5 only games, like Ratchet and Clank? Or is it just with cross-gen games? I am not entirely sure, why that would be in any case...

I don't see what review bombing has got to do with it, he quite clearly said review bobmed.
Who is Bobmed? Looking forward to finding out in their review.
