- What is with people and tuning now a days, this shit wasn't in the PS2 days why do you want it now?
- You really gonna complain about a season pass now? Should've complained in 2013 when that shit began.
- That is what the Season Pass is for (plus there where like 8 add-ons on launch day)
- Low number of what? are you counting reverse and circuit? what?
events I understand because of launch issues.
-Barebones in what?
Yes some of his complaints doesn't make sense. He disliked the soundtrack but Music is off by default, yet he said having none at all would be better so he turned it on. Such irony...

I bought it recently thinking it would be easy for casual pick up and play bursts but ended up not liking it. More sim than I wanted and its tough as hell. Trading it in.
I'm pretty sure I made that gif, do you have the thread where you got it from?![]()
"you can't judge it because it was turned off by default!" wat, again wtf does this mean? i turned it on because i obviously wanted to hear if it was any good, after discovering that i didn't like i turned it off
Is this kind of concept obscure or what?
or should i've been aware of the quality of the soundtrack keeping it off?

I think the devs idea was that you enjoy the sounds of the cars. The soundtrack (which I've not heard) is just kinda a bonus for those that want it.
Haha, DC fans are so precious.It almost seems like you didnt like it because the car doenst drive itself.

So he doesn't like it, it's not like he punches kids.

I got DC last week, really liking it even though I'm downright awful at it. It's the kind of racer I hadn't played since Burnout, that makes you forget to exhale until the finish line.
Drift events can suck it though.
What also could use some work is the AI that gives negative shits. It's almost like playing online, if you're in their racing line they will ram you like you weren't there.
Racing a supercar in the rain like that on open roads seems down right terrifying. So everyone is good with 30fps racers now with limited car selection and no tuning. That's what's hot in the streets now? For all its faults Forza 5 is still the best current Gen racer to me. Driveclub has its spot and I'm not saying its not a good game. But racing game of the generation? Maybe if you only have a PS4.
I can appreciate why people like it, it's very pretty and stuff, but I found it thoroughly joyless and uninvolving. The handling lacked both the knockabout thrills of an arcade racer and the poise and finesse of a sim. It was this ineffectual middle ground that just wasn't fun or satisfying.
i wanted the soundtrack on but i thought it was shit, so i turned it off and i gave my opinion
I'm just trying to understand what was so "Such irony" in my post
I got it on the cheap after being deflated by the reviews but intrigued by the Gaf response. It's a good game. Really good. Gorgeous to look at, satisfying to control, straddles a good line between sim and arcade, and has a terrific sense of speed. It is lacking somewhat in the way of personality and standing out from the crowd, but it is indeed a legit racer. I should probably return to it soon since it keeps getting free content added.

The sense of speed, graphics and dynamic lighting/weather make it stand out from the crowd imo.
Shame that that 71 metacritic average is made up of reviews (bar a handful) that rated the game at launch or just before launch, when it was a bit of a mess. But what can you do.
No doubt the game is much, much better than it was months ago. The lesson here is for the developers.

It's almost like they reviewed it entirely objectively.Shame that that 71 metacritic average is made up of reviews (bar a handful) that rated the game at launch or just before launch, when it was a bit of a mess.

It's pretty much another LTTP thread, without the acronym in the title.As much as I love the game, we really don't need a thread every time someone decides to play it and realises it's good as the thread always devolves in to the same thing.
Servers worked fine during review process...
Don't complain about review scores.
Absolutely. DC is great. Easily the best racer I've played in a long, long time. Forza 5 was a huge letdown and imo is the lowest point of the entire series.
And I'm not quite sure why people always list the fact that DC has no tuning as a negative. DC isn't a sim, and even if it was, tuning isn't a mandatory requirement for every racer and doesn't always mean a game is better for having it. There are plenty of great racers that don't have any type of tuning. The PGR series, for example.
No tuning is a positive to me.
For DC specifically, I'd agree. I do like racers that feature tuning, though. I'm not entirely against it.
This is the biggest issue for me, it tries to please both camps and ends up pleasing neither IMO.Every time I see praise for this game it baffles me. Yes it looks gorgeous.. but outside of that it's nothing special. It's not a good arcade racer and isn't a Sim. Handling is subpar. . Ai is fucking atrocious.
There's ton of other arcade racers I'd much rather play even if they look 100 times worse.

I don't even really get the "sense of speed" thing people are going on about, it doesn't feel especially fast to me. Maybe it's because everyone is in love with the cockpit view, I dunno, but it doesn't feel as fast as NFS Rivals for example.
Incredible how much my mileage differs (pun intended) to you guys with this game. As I say to me it is the perfect balance between sim and arcade.

Part of the reason I think people think it's fast is the tracks tend to be pretty narrow. Which is part of the problem Ai turns into bumper cars.This is the biggest issue for me, it tries to please both camps and ends up pleasing neither IMO.
