ITT reviewers who didn't like the game must just suck at racing games.

So by that logic I should be familiar with modern weapons systems to have a trustworthy and honest opinion on Battlefield 4?

Thank you Blood for your review. Will definitely be checking it out. My understanding is that your the driving expert at GT so it should be a good critical analysis of the game.

Sony are going to have to remove it from PS+ if it doesn't get above 80
lol...they've changed that PS+ policy
Yeah, I pretty much agree. Getting a Wii U for the holiday season is mighty tempting.

Swedish video game forum - connected to the Swedish magazine LEVEL reviewed the game three times:
Review 1: YES
Review 2: YES
Review 3: NO

I see it was made by a website I've never followed. Just don't know if the Website watermarked their quote on it, or if Sony is citing them for an ad. Or if someone else is citing them (fan made).
I can't believe that's official. Haha that Sony confidence...
Oh well... Sony can still cite BioGamerGirl!
That's a common thing on this site.

Yeah. I'm definitely seeing a philosophical shift in scoring this gen.
That's a good thing.
Seems to be where i expected it, around 70-75.
I have Ryse, and it also. But basically that doesn't mean reviews should be expected to feel the same way. OT's in general are filled with people that will like a game more than the average person.

I thought the game would probably be a 7-8 title, then they delayed it a year which made me think a year of polish would amount to an 8-9 or so. Surprised it's still a 7-8. -_- It does look pretty dry from the gameplay I've seen, but there are a bunch of games like that people love, so I guess I shouldn't hold it against my personal preferences, probably still gonna pass on it.

Yeah, right off the bat they sound like they know nothing about the game. I'd think a reviewer would do just a bit of research to at least find what's in the plus version prior to writing a review or doing a quick look on the game. Hell, I've watched streamers that were more informed about the game.
I predicted a metascore of under-75, so yes, i nailed it.
Ok, now explain ''that feel''

I've preordered digitally - yey for my fiscal prudence - but I'm not letting the reviews faze me, especially after Destiny, a game I still love to play that reviewers loved to gripe about.
On the bright side, no review says it's broken, and the graphics seem to be praised a lot. When watching the trailer leading up to release, I just felt like the team behind this game seemed like great people with passion for their work and, thus, deserving support.

To most extents. As does InFamous (fantastic game), and by the sounds of it DriveClub. Innovation isn't the same as solid gameplay. People need to realise that.
Almost as bad as Gamereactor.

Yeah, but I was speaking in general reviewing.
Its not scoring too bad. Especially this gen when reviewers seem to be more harsh then ever before.
Between a 7 and a 7.5 is about all i expected tbh.
Will still get it down the road but ill stick with Horizonfor now until i get bored of that as i tend to do quickly with most racing games apart from pgr3 and split second.

Looks like it will be a 7ish (?)
Can't go wrong with trying the Plus version though.
I'm not sure where I am with my PS4 purchase though. I was set on getting one when Alien and DriveClub hit, but I might try Alien on my 'cloud PC' instead now. On the other hand I still do want to throw a car around with DC's tracks and rendering.

But you'll notice that Microsoft's two racing games look completely different from one another. The strange thing about Driveclub from the very beginning is how similar it looked to Sony's other first party racer. I've heard lots of members of the gaming press refer to Driveclub as a sim racer, like GT, and I don't blame them for that. Watching a clip of the game would give you no indication it's different.
It's not over yet, it could end up at 76
Wouldn't that quote be from vg247

Scores are exactly what I expected. Game is one of the best looking games of all times graphics wise. But if that's all you have and nothing else.. well, graphics alone don't make a great game.
And LOL at Polygon.
edit.. "PlayStation Universe" 95. ha ha.

Yep, that's what I expect from a review. Judging a game for what is was not meant to be is unfair.
Welcome to the club of those that actually know and like racing games and good driving models, and not just cruising around games (which are great on their own, but they're not the be all end all of driving)
You beat me by 0.1 point, but still. Glad to see someone else that reviewed the game and not its hype.

Sounds like the rumors of it being originally intended and designed as a F2P title for launch feel a bit true from the universal complaints of a dearth of content. Also sounds like it should not have been a full-priced racer at $60. No wonder they were doing everyone a favor by getting rid of microtransactions when all they were really doing was dropping the pretense of it being a full-fledged retail product that happens to have the same price and same expectations of worthwhile DLC.

Truth, best current console shooter franchise with halo. SF reviews were a joke
Why not try the PS+ version first?

You can't turn off Traction control etc?

So does infamous and driveclub. This narrative that PS4 exclusives have terrible gameplay is utter nonsense.

But it should be enough to let you know if the game is for you or not. Much more than a demo would.
Haha what? So it's a Sony thing now?

86 on Metacritic isn't very "mixed"
So, the game that got pushed back a year still isn't amazing :l?
Oh well; at least their is a the PS+ Version people can try to out see if they like it or not .
Really is a shame that it is reviewing so badly; Evolution did very solid work with the MotorStorm games, so I hope they don't get shut down because of these scores....
Then again, Studio Japan is still kicking despite Knack being mediocre, so who knows.

So it was delayed almost a year and it still ended up being mediocre, damn Evolution Studios dropped the ball...
I'm going to go out on a limb and say these guys probably suck at racing games.
Keep up the good work.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
This.
Why anybody bothered to actually buy this game without trying it first is beyond me. I actually have no interest whatsoever, but the fact that Sony is giving me a large demo as part of the PS+ package I will happily give the game a chance to win me over.
