You can't turn off traction control etc....

 

[antijoke]

It doesn't sound inherently flawed, just very little content and a bit dull. I find the penalty for cutting corners too much as well, as well as the aggressive AI. Still I will play the PS+ version.

what is this true ?

Yes, it's in the GameTrailers video review I just watched.

see for yourself

 

[antijoke]

I wondered when the 'reviews don't matter' would start rolling in.

Sometimes that's the case, but when the reviews are highlighting glaring areas of concern (can't turn off traction control etc, penalty system for cutting corners) then I think they are justified in putting what they feel as an appropriate score.

For the record I don't think 7, even 6 (or 70+ on metacritic) is a bad score. Seems to be a mental stick in some peoples mind the scale starts at 7.

 

[antijoke]

Really is that what you are gonna pick up on specific to my post? You really should look at my post history as its what I've always said.

Cheers for the concern

Wasn't picking up on it, just commenting further about review scores.

It is inevitable that when things like this happen (low scores) people say well reviews don't matter to me, I'll enjoy the game anyway, well in this instance the reviews highlight some pretty big enjoyment killers for me, and some areas that jut boggle the mind why they are not included.

And OT, I hate to think what state this game was in last November.

project cars is up and coming. it's not the only racer, just the only racer exclusive to ps4 at this time..

I've actually played forza 5 and its really not all that , it's light on content and felt empty comparable to the pretty meaty forza 3 I played years ago, haven't played forza 4 .

gt 7 will be interesting.. see how it pans out. but Drive club was never going to go head to head with forza...

You say Forza 5 is light on content?

It's like, 3 games of content compared to Driveclub, and it actually managed to come out at launch.

 

[antijoke]

Wow not aimed at all but some in here are right whiny self entitled moaners or complete trolls.

What does this even mean?

 

[antijoke]

No-one is saying others cannot enjoy the game though (I'm certainly not) I'm just very disappointed in the end product that we've got.

Yes I will try it for myself with the PS+ edition but there are issues for me with this game, so we can't voice a negative opinion of something we feel let down by because we're self entitled moaners........

 

[antijoke]

For anybody who doesent no yet the was announcee this morning that the ps+ version has been delayed because servers are knackered from the US release yesterday there working on getting the game running instead. So may affect the release of that version in the uk aswell friday i would assume. Only people who buy the full game will be able to play at the moment.

Tinfoil hat off/[on]

They've pulled the PS+ edition because of the poor reviews and they know it's a waste of resources and no-one is going to bother buying it after seeing how crap the game is.

This post may contain traces of sarcasm.

 

[antijoke]

I'll be honest, I've yet to come across a new game that doesn't have server issues on first week of launch.

It'll be 'reet

Really?

 

[antijoke]

Most recent AAA games with a strong focus on Multiplayer.. Battlefield 4, GTA 5, Destiny etc have had server issues.

Never experienced issues with recent CoD games.

 

[antijoke]

No I am not new to console gaming, your claim was you are yet to come across a new game that doesn't have server issues......not recent games, but any game...that's what surprises me.

I had no problems with Black Ops 2 to just pick one out the air randomly.

 

[antijoke]

Disappointed, but you haven't played it?

Why the roll eyes? Can't I feel let down based on what I've read, seen in video reviews and read from other users who have played the game?

-Invisible walls
-Bunching of AI cars
-AI too aggressive
-No replay
-No rewind (ugh)
-Off track reset & notification
-Collision penalty
-No weather day1
-Non fleshed out career
-Only EU cars
-Servers down/flakey
-Limited gameplay modes
-Mulitplayer 'limited'
-Limited car customisation (design & tuning)
-Clubs poorly implemented
-Buggy UI

That's a breakdown list of the main low points from reviews, makes for some disappointment from some of them.

 

[antijoke]

On first week of it going coming out? iirc black ops 2 was laggy as hell

Yep first week of it coming out, played it every night after release day, and played it at midnight on release date as well.

 

[antijoke]

You might love it though!

And as for a lack of rewind? Lol. Drive properly in the first place! Made me laugh when it was included in Forza which is supposed to be a sim. I don't ever recall drivers being able to "rewind" after a crash in real life! (Just ask Bianchi)

I just listed all points, I am not fussed by a rewind feature, I don't use it, I just kept the list complete.

 

[antijoke]

It's an arcade racer and nothing more. So penalties for going off the track is fine by me.

An arcade racer that penalizes you for going off the track? Don't recall playing any other arcade game that does that.



Surely that should be a simulation game.......

 

[antijoke]

Yeah, what better way to increase sales than to tell their potential customers that there are server and connectivity issues with the game.

Honestly people, enough of the pessimistic cynicism.

We live in a world where MS pay people for parity. Anything is possible.

 

[antijoke]

Should've just binned the whole thing, made it an 8-bit style racing game, would'vebeen met with critical acclaim.

We certainly need more 8 bit titles this generation.

 

[antijoke]

Does trolling mean having a differing opinion to someone else?

It does yes.

 

[antijoke]

From where? The official Sony Playstation magazine?

 

[antijoke]

AVF...user Benny posted it..that ok?

No need to be so over protective.

It was just a jovial poke about the positivity of that 'review' compared to the gaming press reviews.

Sheesh, people get bent out of shape so easily.
