I am amazed that Sony isn't more concerned about these companies they use for outsourcing their stores to. The PS3 and PS4 stores have always been unstable and untidy, crashing regularly. The PS5 store is barely fit for purpose and is missing entire DLC, Movies and Sales sections. The webstore is an awful mess and cannot be used for very much at all. And now the VIta store totally broken (temporarily most likely). It's really not good enough when these are often the only way to purchase games. I know some within Sony are not happy with the situation, so why does Sony keep allowing these companies to continue when it obviously is losing them revenue?
I'm a bit confused at this review saying that it runs buttery smooth at all times. I have been playing it almost a week now on and off and have never had a single race that has run smoothly. I've played well over 30 races in all disciplines I think and none run well. There are frame rate drops all of the time, especially at the start when all cars are bashing into one another. However, it's not just the amount of cars that can cause issues as the one on one races or even the solo hill climbs drop frames constantly. I've tried playing it in all Video modes, including the 120fps mode and get frame rate problems in all. Can this be my PS5 or somehow TV related or even the SDD as right now it runs extremely poorly? It's not a particularly good looking game anyway so I am unsure what is wrong. Oh, and it crashes a lot too!
You didn't need to log in as Online and then switch to Offline at all on PS4. If you press the Options button before selecting your profile, you can choose whether to show up as Offline or Online.
I really enjoyed this apart from that there is no invert Y-axis option (really, devs still forget to add this), has plenty of glitches such as being able to retake the same side quest but not complete it so it stays on your to do list, sometimes very lengthy conversations and a broken trophy for finishing the game. But it is often times amazing to look at and is nice and leisurely to play with no real threats.
I noticed they have messed up how it displays friends alphabetically now. If you have close friends (you can see their real name), they don't appear alphabetically in the Friends List where they should. Instead they appear where their username falls. For example a Close Friend called 'John Smith' with a username of 'Wanted' would appear in your list under 'W' but still show the name 'John Smith' first in the list. It's a small issue but a pain to have to look through 100+ friends trying to find what people have as a username when you know them by their real name.

Why does the cover of every football game have to have a guy looking as though he has just stepped on some Lego?
