It took me 70 hours to unlock GT Open without buying any races, and I think that its not bad time considering that I took part in 10+ rivals, and I’m new to this series. But I’m not that much in sim games, I played some arcade in past and this game was difficult a few times for me. With more difficult beginning and not making cars more affordable this game will be even tougher/not welcome for beginners. I hope they made NN hot lap in GT B more difficult (but probably it’ll be, because getting to GT B will require more time and money, worser car maybe). If they made this game more difficult, because people like me completed it, then you should thank me.
