Luckily in this game, you can play entirely without being invaded as long as you don’t initiate co-op.  Invaders can only appear if you’re playing with someone else.  Seems like they could just... take that out...but whatever, I guess.  At least you can play in relative peace.

This jerkoff locked me in a room with a tough knight.  I should have killed him when I saw him after the Godrick fight.

I made the same assumption since the game, ya know, explains nothing whatsoever about it.  But someone on here pointed it out and they were correct!  I’ve only ever been invaded when my wife and I play co-op, which is super fucking annoying.  But it’s better than just having to deal with it constantly.

You’ll be happy to hear that you can’t be invaded unless you initiate co-op (sigh) or invited invaders.  So you CAN play online and still see people’s hints and what-not that they leave behind (which can be useful sometimes!) and you get your health replenished if someone likes one of your messages, which can be a…

Maybe people just want to play co-op with their friends and not fuck around with pointless invasions?  Why can’t those things be separate? 

Exactly.  Why can’t the part just be a sport muffler or a brake kit for... ANY car?  Like “You get one free brake kit.  Use it for any car you want.” instead of “Here’s a brake kit for a Toyota G86 you will never buy ever.”

Ha!  I know!  I was “invited” to buy a $3.5 million Lamborghini that I’m definitely not going to be able to afford any time soon.  Oh and there’s a time limit on it.  LOL!  Fuck off.

I’d also like them to fix the RNG for the tickets you get after completing a cafe challenge.  I’ve gotten probably a dozen or more of them and literally every time,  I get the shittiest of the possible rewards.  One time I got a muffler for a car I don’t have. But every other time I’ve gotten the lowest credit reward…

I would also add the Valkyria Chronicles series to this and, if you have a Vita (lol!  no, really.. underrated handheld), there’s a game called Lost Dimension that’s a bit of a hidden gem.

Maybe because PvP is forced upon you when all you want to do is play co-op PvE?... I don’t know.

Exactly.  I could see if we were in like an opt-in area where you know “oh you can be invaded here but there’s really good loot” (like Dark Zones in The Division) or if were were on like a PvP server... but to just foist it upon anyone that wants to play online regardless is fucking stupid.  But nothing about the way…

I never played GT Sport because I was under the impression it wasn’t a full Gran Turismo game and was some type of neutered, MP-only game with like a quarter of the number of cards.  GT7, to me, is like every other classic Gran Turismo and that’s exactly why I bought it.  Are licenses annoying?  Yes.  But they also…

My wife and I play exclusively with a password and we get invaded every game.  It’s also usually after we just killed something really tough and we have low health or flask recharges too.  So it’s even more annoying.  And then if one of us gets killed, we have to go through the tedium of reconnecting.  I wish you…

Hey, if I didn’t invite you to my game for a PvP battle then you get what you deserve.  Stop invading people that are just trying to play co-op.  I know, I know... blah blah that’s how these games have always been.  But I personally fucking hate it.  

Oh buddy, I’m right there with you. I love this shitboxes in these games. And GT7 DOES have shitboxes. Can confirm. I have no interest in what are basically F1 cars. I noticed that there aren’t quite as many cars in this game, though. But I’m assuming those will be sold to us later in DLC.

That’s because you’re a human being with a SOUL unlike these monsters! Lol

These people should immediately be put back to level 1 and thrown in with the final boss for doing that!  Monsters!  Also that’s a tortoise.  

HA!  Wow.  They definitely nailed the aesthetic.  I could see any of these advertised in an issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly.

Umm... was the “before” a VHS rental copy from the 80's or something??  Tell me they didn’t put out such an ugly transfer at any point and charged money for it.

Yeah, I’ve started playing online now.  The goofy ass messages do make me laugh.  And some of them are pretty good ambush warnings!
