A few setbacks that will be fixed is a bad thing, not saying it isn't or that it's not worth demerits/penalties - but it's obvious that server problems at launch - as bad as they are to the consumers, to get such a hefty pounding over it where a reviewer is all like "I take my review back, I'm lowering my score until the servers get better - Oh hey, 6 months later the servers are better, here, have a 7.5 again" I don't remember seeing any other game reviewer that would concentrate the temporary downfalls of a game as if it's a Core Problem to the game fundamentally, that shows zero foresight into the content that the game does provide. Diablo 3 for one example, SO many people couldn't log on and the onslaught of hate by fans were everywhere. NecotheSergal 2721d ago (Edited 2721d ago - Yeah, but why rewrite a review because it's having temporary server problems due to being overloaded? Do you know how many games I bought at launch that had server problems at the get go? Almost every single online-focused game has had launch server issues that lasted weeks or months. This is hands-down one of the worst racing games of the past ten years. I'm just glad I was able to get a decent price for this game on eBay before it's value nosedived after word got out about how terrible it is.

I got this game free with my PS4 and I still feel ripped-off, I wish I'd had a better game filling that slot in the bundle I bought instead. If this was a multiplatform game it would receive the criticism it rightfully deserves, but because it's exclusive then all of a sudden it becomes immune to criticism and people laughably claim it as the best racing game around? What a joke. This game is terrible, and even giving it 7/5/10 is being far too generous. Well, except for the fact that this game's cheap copy of said Autolog system doesn't even work correctly and is broken. What was it in reality? A cheap, inferior copy of the Autolog system that Criterion pioneered with Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. What's worse is that this game was supposed to have revolutionary online play and team-based racing.

Unfortunately however, I play games for the gameplay, and not for the graphics. The list of faults and problems with this game is long, and the only redeeming feature I can possibly point to is the graphics. Now take the above two points into consideration with track design that is incredibly tight and narrow and the core gameplay experience is just terrible, and this is without doubt one of the worst racing games I have ever played. This isn't from reckless driving either, but simply sticking cleanly to the racing line and braking where appropriate etc. The AI is also abysmal and seems to lack any awareness of the player. Instead, the physics just sit in an uncomfortable middle ground of the two which results in one of the most dull driving experiences in the genre. They lack the sheer fun and thrills of an arcade racer and the challenge and reward of a simulation racer. Well the handling and physics are just awful. Those sort of shortcomings are why Driveclub shouldn't get a 9 or above, but again, it's an excellent racer and the most fun I've had in a racing game in a very long time.

That may be a design decision due to the heavy drift focus on the game, but I would prefer not to pull the ebrake through corners.I don't in reality. For example, in Driveclub, it's absolutely essential to use the parking brake to help steer through a corner, as the understeer of every car is pretty bad. I'm not asking for all out customization options, it's not that type of game.but the braking performance is not up to par with the rest of the game, in my opinion. How I wouldn't kill for a brake bias setting or an opportunity to feel like the carbon ceramics that certain cars have in reality were actually reflected in improved braking performance in the game. What it does, it does exceptionally well, and it's the most addictive racing game (and the most beautiful) I've ever played.but it is missing alot of customization features and the cars do tend to perform a bit too similarly, particularly the braking performance. I think 8.5 would be a fair score for Driveclub.
