Is anyone able to sum up the additions the season pass has? I have had the vanilla game for a while and enjoyed it, trying to suss whether the pass would be worth it for me.
its not a bad game but another game called project cars does everything that driveclub does, but only 1000x better and with more depth. at this point there is NO reason to buy driveclub
The latest update has the Hud on/off mapped to a button now, doesn't it? It's just another excuse for me to crash though, fiddling around trying to get my GPS on and veering (slightly, no rough-riding up the mountains) off the road.
They added extra months for the season pass but it was 38 cars,176 events and 80 liveries.Is anyone able to sum up the additions the season pass has? I have had the vanilla game for a while and enjoyed it, trying to suss whether the pass would be worth it for me.

Neeeevermind.
Totally surprising that you're blaming DC fans on this, instead of the 'list all this shit' troll posts we get - that are suspiciously similar to the ones that pop up in 'Why is the PS4 selling so well?!' threads - where people have to swim against a tide instead of enjoying this game.
And especially when you are one of the first to pile in on a xbone negative post, I find you incredibly irritating.
I swear, we have at least one thread like this every month regarding DRIVECLUB, lol.
I don't see what's wrong with giving us the option to have a driving line. Make it off by default if you want, for the identity of the game, but often times a driving line is definitely needed. Playing the Norway tracks at night and heavy precipitation is downright unplayable, and anyone who says the can race in those conditions and get a good time should show proof. Also, I was hinting that the tracks themselves are not very great. I am perfectly happy with memorizing tracks, I have tried to do so, and playd the Nordschleife hundreds of times now, because it is a beautiful track. My two cents.
Lmao, what? You want people to prove to you that they can complete races in heavy rain/snow at night just because you can't? I mean...take a look at my trophies if you want, the DLC expansions packs have plenty of night events in heavy rain/snow, some of them in Norway. It's completely doable. I hate to say it, but it's simply a matter of 'getting gud'.
And in regards to the track design not being great - I couldn't disagree more. DC has some of the best fictional tracks I've ever played in a racer. From the long sweeping roads of Chile, to the tight, windy tracks of India, full of elevation changes, negative/positive camber changes. Evo have made tracks that are hard to master, but are so fun to drive when you finally do. They have a great flow to them if you put in the time to learn the correct lines.

I was one of those that blindly shat on it when it got it's mixed reviews but i figured for $18 i thought why not?

Is it normal that still like Driveclub more after playing Project Cars?
Driveclub is huuugely underrated
It does have faults however, worst for me being when doing multi round events you have to complete the whole thing in one sitting otherwise you loose your progress. I missed a race challenge during the second race in a three race event and had to repeat the first again just to get to the second.
They are pretty easy to be honest (if you want look at my trophies) but if you are finding the need to use a driving line in any circumstance than perhaps you aren't analysing your scenery. When you play Forza turn the damn line off as well as it only gimps your ability to observe surroundings and therefore negatively effects your ability at other racers. My brother use to be super good at racing games then he got Forza used the line all the time and is bloody awful at them now. The problem with the Forza lines isn't that they are there but they aren't even optimum lines so they aren't teaching you anything and people get reliant on them.
Here is a video of the elements final race by Kie25. And even though my times don't have a spot on his - I think the closest I have come is 3 seconds behind him - I could beat that race easily you just look at the road and ignore the effects.
I'm really enjoying Project Cars, but playing it makes me realise how many things I take for granted and miss from DriveClub.
Honestly, DriveClub is pretty much everything a Simcade racer ought to be. All its missing for me is city tracks and Japanese cars.
Where is everyone buying this for $20??
I always try to grab all the stars on a multi-race event in one sitting so I can get used to the tracks , and restart a round if I miss out on one. As long as you quit before crossing the line in the last round you can keep at it round by round.

And with the crappy performance of PCars on PS4 there's every reason for me to keep playing DC and ignore PCars entirely.![]()
Fair enough, but for me in that video, when it hits 0:25, I can't see anything anymore. At that point I would slow my car down enough to stay on track but end up in last spot. That's the annoying thing in tours, AI do have their own line to follow and visibility obviously does not affect them, nor is the AI less difficult in heavy precipitation. So in the end you either drive as fast as you would during daytime and ram into a lot of things, or slow down to stay on track and lose your spot.
It's really not that hard. the earlier events are where you should try.Well, you're the Lord of Pwn, so these things come easy to you, no-scoping your way into first place.
Learn to love drift events, and do drift challenges. especially ones where the better scores are high already. means you should get about 10-15k per run at around 2-3 minutes each. also i think drift points are getting fixed in the next patch so it should be easier.Last week I'd thought I'd check how far I am off the platinum trophy, turned out I was very close.
Till I saw I need 1.000.000 Drift points, I'm on 350.000ish....
DAMN!
You've picked the final event in the elements tour to show there, which is the hardest dlc they issued and they lowered the difficulty on all dlc after this point. To get to this race you should know the tracks well and you cant use this 1 race to put the driving line crutch in every event.

Again , it's not the AI that is at fault, it's in 95% of the time your fault for not minding what is happenning in front or you or behind you.Yeah, I mean that collision stuff and yes, it is riddiculus to put such a rule in the game with an AI this bad. For every single turn you had a 50/50 chance that somebody would just drive into you and make you loose the perfect rating. I'm sorry, but there is just no way you can put this bullshit in a positive light.
If you play the game , you'll get the trophy without trouble without even trying for it.Hmm, this trophy list doesn't seem too bad. Platinum might be poss--

Show proof ? I've cleared the element trophy/campaign.. That's more than enough proof given what is that campaign.( Not saying it was easy, but it's doable )I don't see what's wrong with giving us the option to have a driving line. Make it off by default if you want, for the identity of the game, but often times a driving line is definitely needed.

Still waiting on a season pass sale.
Well...
This seems to happen a lot, people love controversies. The Order is slowly gathering its fans too as the game gets cheaper and more people try it

The Order will always be polarizing though but DC is indeed "legit", from day 1.
Im just waiting for a good digital sale on the PSN store.... game has been full price since forever.

The Ai is not agressive. As long as you don't make mistakes, the Ai is not a problem.

I think they have to be very careful putting it on sale in case the PS+ is ready to go, they need at least three months clear between a sale and Plus for this game.
PC FTW
Where did you get this idea? Plenty of times I've seen sales on games that become Plus games very shortly after.
Not only that, but the Plus version is not even the full game.
The Venom time trial in the rain was close enough...No. That's not how it works. You add a driving line and that makes you far more adept at doing cornering challenges than people who don't use a driving line. It also means you get far better times than those who don't use driving lines. This is not how the game is designed. It is an equal playing field and only skill and mastery of the cars will differentiate you - not driving lines.
Nothing is unplayable in this game. You're just not good enough, I'm sorry to say. If any of the events were unplayable, there would've been uproar and evolution would've addressed it immediately. That has never happened.
The elemental tour was one of the most fun tours in the game. It was pure skill trying to negotiate the tracks with low visibility and a slippery road. Also, the only notoriously difficult race with weather was the last race in the elemental tour. All other races have fine visibility in all situations. You either have very bad eye sight (which you might want to get tested if that's the case) or you aren't paying attention to the tracks to learn the corners instead of getting your hand held by a driving line.

Fair enough, I am good in Forza and Assetto Corsa, so I thought that skill would transfer and I'd be at least decent in DC. Was surprised to find that not true to be honest, oh well, I still enjoy driving in the rain, just not racing.
