Thanks! but what does the list and the number of post got to do with anything I said?
I only called out Madkat because I found it curious that he own the game but then he's got tons of post here and other GTS thread deriding it while I haven't seen him much in the OT except the two post which I pointed out which were also both in negative slant.
So I wondered why he is spending a lot of time complaining about it instead of playing the game if he really owns it. He answered it saying he owns it and he got it just for his collection. Which makes sense I guess.
Also, I'm not the first the one who noticed

Yup. This is fair.
Yeah, a solid review with no piece of info that is glaringly wrong at least (unlike that weird customization thing in the forbes review, LOL).
a shitload of Cars and tracks and the game probably running in 60fps. But still, it wouldn't have GT's driving.
Edit: It seems I misunderstood it as if driveclub came out today (meaning 3 additional years of dev time). But still additional budget and staff would've made a noticeable difference. Maybe not to the 60fps extent but noticeable nonetheless.
Man I wish I had really liked driveclub's driving but unfortunately didn't gel with it. I basically had the game as a relaxing tool where I'd turn the HUD off turn on random weather and sped up tod and just slowly go through different tracks enjoying the scenery and atmosphere.

DC: 3.5 years
GTS: 4 years
6 months wouldnt had made much of a difference in terms of time.

This.
I only played DC for about 6-7 hours, but for me, it was easily the least pleasurable driving game Ive ever played. Looked absolutely incredible though.
The game to me is about a 7.5. The driving feels amazing, but there's such a dearth of content that it makes it hard to recommend unless you're really into competitive racing. Even the online, the thing that this game was supposed to be focusing on, is very light on content. Currently the dailies are essentially weeklies, so you're stuck doing the same 3 tracks over and over. The game also doesnt feel like there's much sense of progression with Sport mode having all the eligible cars for a given race unlocked for you to play.
I mean I guess this is why they called it GT Sport, because besides the driving this game doesnt feel like a GT title to me. They pretty much pulled a SFV.

The relative lack of silence regarding DLC specifics isnt great, either.
My biggest complaints are the dailies being weeklies, server issues (if they persist beyond launch week Ill be furious), and no real, publicly available schedule for more content. Im sold on the platformSport Mode is like crackbut I need to see PDs plans for forward progression. All we have on that end is sure, more is coming! Not exactly reassuring!

I find this game really compelling. The content that is there sounds amazing, I want to play it, but can't really justify spending for it when I already have some similar games that I already love and still need to complete.
With regards to the reviews, GT is it's own biggest enemy here. It sounds like comparing Sport to previous GT games, makes it look thin. It's actually kind of baffling that it doesn't even have a proper campaign mode. In a Racing game, I would assume that's one of the most basic thing you could do, build the UI, build dozens of Race scenarios. Let people Race in both single player, and multiplayer, that's essentially it.
Either way, the online portion sounds pretty cool, I love the E-sports slant. I look forward to playing it eventually, and especially look forward to it's proper successor, and may just wait for that for now.
Also, I think Polyphony could to well to take a serious page out of their competitor's books. Use some of that insane amount of money GT titles usually make, and outsource a lot of the content. Do whatever it takes, to add hundreds more cars, another 10-15 tracks, and build a proper campaign mode.

I agree on this part. Like I can understand maybe not wanting to work on a bunch of cars you have modeled time and time again (and that could possibly be one of the factors as to how this car roster ended up being this way with every car except for one being 2009 and onwards), so maybe outsourcing should be considered especially for those older cars (road cars in particlar). Have a polishing pass in-house to make sure nothing odd sticks out. Tracks however, I think should be handled by PD themselves.
The tracks are not switching daily and are scheduled to change on a weekly basis (rather than everyday like the beta) at this point in time,. that's what BBQ meant by "dailies are weeklies"
BBQ_of_DOOM

Yeah, Ive got close to 15-20 hours into it. Tracks arent switching daily, in fact nothing has switched daily, and they are more appropriately called hourlies.
Or were, before the new 5 minute frequency kicked in.

This. GT played such an important part in me getting into racing games in general. Even GT5 with it's myriad of problem at launch, I put over 35 thousand miles into. I am vocal because I am a huge GT fan and getting this shell of a game after over 4 years of development time is infuriating.
The AI sucks. GT has always been about the driving. You do better to fix the AI. Not strip the entire single player out of the game and give us the shell of whatever GTS is supposed to be.
Damn this game doesn't even look like it will reach the 80 mark. Oh PD...
Forza retains the crown. But at least now people can enjoy the best racer on PC too

What crown? Because considering I actually play these games and don't just look at their metacritic scores it's not deserving of any crown this year.

I'll be honest, I didn't see anything too inflamatory in his previous posts. He or she does tend to be a tad one sided.
Back on topic. The reviews don't seem to be negative from a gameplay standpoint. I'm gonna give the demo a shot. Really wish I had any justification to Buy VR. I love cockpit view, but it's just too limited in most of these games where they don't let you adjust seat position. Bonnet view is my go to. It'd be fun to try cabin view with a vr headset.
The demo is already done it was a limited time thing.

Ahhh. I didn't realize that this was the case. Who want's to give me their PSVR? I'll buy GTS if you do.

I see Horizon as separate to this discussion because it's more of an arcade game and the work that Playground do is on a whole different level to what Turn 10 have been doing this generation. It would be a disservice to lump them into one.
But the serious answer to that question is that the 3 games that have released this year have all dissapointed in various ways. If this was a race then all participants are DNF.
A tad? Lol.
for a second there I thought you guys were sad about that particular poster being banned.
glad to see I'm not alone in thinking that some of the stuff they have posted was insane, it was a long time coming.
It'd be in there best interest to have an active demo out there readily available for people to try out, because otherwise many may just dismiss the game outright based off the review/metacritic scores. But yeah, I suppose it being reliant on their servers, it would be best to wait till the launch rush on the servers dies down a bit and things stabilize.

They really should get out another demo that stays up for people to try. It didn't change things for me, but there were quite a few people who were down on the game yet ended up loving it after trying it out.

If they bring back the demo version where the sport mode dailies are actually daily while us suckers who bought the full game are stuck with the weekly dailies.

I think it's a totally fair review. There are plenty of good things about the game. But the lack of content is killer.
It's a very empty game when you add up the tracks and real car models. Sure there may be loads of content added later, but you can't review what may or may not happen later.
I feel they shouldn't have released this at full price.

Wow, 75? it's a bit low...
It's strange that well known IPs don't do well this gen. Well, at least PS4 would have the install base to back this game up.
I hope Assassins Creed Origin do well.

Amazon UK reviews pretty harsh currently:

Strange. The game is perfect according to one review, right?
I will be so upset if Origins doesnt deliver, but then again Syndicate reviewed poorly and I loved it.

Not that strange when they made big changes to the standard formula. Some are loving it, some not so much. PD took a risk with this and while it's mostly paid off, they have taken a bit of a hit for daring to be different.
Although to score as well as it has, shows how good the actual core game holds up, despite the lack of content, compared past games and the competition. As long as PD can add new cars, tracks and new features at regular intervals, then the game will get even better than it already is.
