If thats what it means then I continue to laugh at gaming journalism.
Because Reviews decide if a game is mediocre, right? especially if they are all over the place?
You guys need to calm down. Try it on PS+, if you dont like it dont buy it.

There are several street circuit races in FH2 that have a super PGR feel to it, they really do.
Might have faired better in the reviews given the games out at the time.

I don't believe you've thought this through. . .This is actually great news.
Back to Motorstorm for Evo
FH2 has really colored the discussion I think. I'd be curious to see what avid racing game fans think of the game and nothing more. A game can be very simple but if it does everything that matters well, it can work. It doesn't need a million tracks, cars, and open roads. That's not what DriveClub has ever set out to be. Why are they marking it down for something it's not trying to be?
Would they mark down Call of Duty for being too fast and not tactical enough? Shit doesn't make any sense.

I like Jeff. I like Giantbomb, but watching this is infuriating. How is he not clear on what ps+ subscribers get? It hasn't been mixed messaging, it's been crystal clear, and he simply and obviously hasn't even tried to find an answer to that question, because it's out there in the open for anyone that wants to know. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Honestly the reviews arent as harsh as i was expecting
Looks like a modest 7.0 racing game for the PS4.
Its not like it has any competition at the moment and you get to play it for free.
Im gonna try it

You know the reviews for this have almost made me happy after playing the Crew Beta. The handling, the story I couldn't care about, the useless open world, I hated. I just wanted to race, and it looks like DRIVECLUB will give me that. The only question is will the free version make me buy the full version or not I guess.
I haven't payed attention to Project Cars, but is that open world?
True but the PS4 will get most of my playing time since it is my preferred console for 3rd party games now. Plus I have no interest in playing the Master Chief Collection or Smash Bros (never was my cup of tea), but I am all over Bayonetta 2.

None of the above that you mentioned actually effects the gameplay of the game.
So 2014 Driveclub is a 6 despite being a solid racer but will be a 10 next year when it has 150+ more events, more cars, and more paint colors?

"Your opponents are concerned above all else with the prescribed racing line, regardless of which car they drive, favoring the most aggressive possible speeds down the clearest, most obvious route. This lack of adaptability isn't much of a concern early in your tour, but when the cars get faster and the courses get more labyrinthine, AI racers tend to clump up around certain curves and ignore the presence of other vehicles, including your own. AI vehicles prefer collisions to deviations from the line, often smashing into you from behind and sending you careening into the vehicle in front of you, or sliding onto the shoulder, simply because you took the path most appropriate for your car."
Sounds like great fun, I'll give the PS+ edition a go to see how gorgeous it is, but I feared all along it was all style and no substance. I did get caught in the hype though.

What gameplay? What innovations to driving a fucking car are reviewers expecting? It's a racing game. What would people rather see it do? If it gets the feel of driving a car right and the excitement of racing down, isn't that all we should expect from a standard racing game? Are standard racing games no longer good enough?

Third party games are what sell console's these days. I also think that people want the most powerful console, since everybody is on the internet these days, buyers will do a bit of research before spending 400$ on a console, and make sure they get the best bang for there buck.

Maybe people will learn that beautiful doesn't mean good. I've said that I'll play only the "free" version, I'll stick with this (and I have canceled FH 2 pre order because the game was too short so waiting for complete edition.. if I'm still buying it).

Quite dissapointing.
But it looks fun and any ps+ user can check it out so reviews shouldn't be that important.
Still...Sony has to step it up with their exclusives. Scores are important to a lot of people and it seems like right now only Naughty Dog is getting 85+ scores.
It seems to me like they are focusing too much on graphics and not enough on the rest

First Destiny, now this. Okay reviewers, fellow gamers, etc. I quit. It seems no one is able to enjoy things like they are. Gaming press is changing, any game has to be perfect because of fanboy wars and constant hating on the internet.
This is a good game. DC is totally fine and very fun to play.

He seemed to like Forza horizon 2 fine
Xrd as a fighting game as more of an appeal on the consoles the majority already owns instead of the PS4. There's also a lot working I the PS3 versions favor. Free online, old equipment works on PS3 like sticks and pads, arguably a larger community, easier for TOs to do tournaments.
In all honesty the PS4 version only has its resolution working for It. I mean I'm not spending another 150+ for a PS4 stick for one fighting game.
But that's another discussion for another day.

He explains his dislike well in the quicklook that was linked, but man he just sounds so tired of videogames.
Edit: nevermind, he's just bitching about how the game is too punishing
I'll give the PS+ version a go I guess.
I do know what reviewers are getting at though, I think, when they say it's missing something. Some games you play and even if they're competent and solid they're just missing something. Like a spark of life.
Killzone, for instance, is a shell of a game. It blinks and it salivates like a living game but it has no soul.

They are not big on info and facts on that web, they don't give a shit, it's like they are some random guys from the street.

Some harsh words on those reviews. Some reviewers even looked pissed. lol
Man, I really dislike when they criticize the "lack of innovation", "no soul". Pure garbage.

But none of that makes any difference to his opinion of the game, he is playing the full version and judging it accordingly. It's not even as bad as not knowing the price of a game (which can affect a review due to money spent/content included).

Bought the game last night and spent about 3 hours playing it. I really like it. Can't wait to jump back in. Another case of reviews are just like opinions, man.

project cars is basically GT - circuit based sim racer.
If you're a racing fan you actually have a nice menu of choices available and something should suit your tastes
- DC is a straight shooting corridor racer with gorgeous looks
- FH2 is open world with lots of smashing through bushes and jumps like the Dukes of Hazard
- Project Cars is a more hardcore sim with real racetracks
- The Crew is an odd open world CARPG

I wish Sony had thrown money at a new Wipeout instead of this.
