Playing Gran Turismo 7 on a stock (non-Pro, non-HD-upgraded) PS4, first full play:
Bad first impressions and I have a bit of a meltdown over not being able to skip the long, self-indulgent opening credits--and various other aged choices:
0:00 - start
4:00 - Front-end: bugs, news, etc
10:00 - unskippable intro credits 'O'
18:00 - Sarah & rage-buying
19:30 - Options
20:12 - menu music beta "muted" (via YouTube) due to copyright claim : PPP (to 21:03)
25:14 - Garage

2:33:19 - wrap-up & what's next!
By the end of all this hoop-jumping, quasi-RPGing, and UI long-roading, I finally had one car that almost felt like it was racing once in a while. But I'm gonna have to keep trudging through the unlocking of stuff for quite some time here, aren't I?
I could still swear Sport made me wade through less of all this; I suppose the mantra for 7 was more more more...and anyway some of that would also be rose-tinted glasses, I'm sure--did that five years ago, now.
Good thing I ended up turning off all the music because even some of the options menu music spawned a copyright claim. Lame job there, Digital Polyphony. Real lame.
