Driveclub is my favourite Racer of the Generation! I love the handling, the sense of speed, the weather and lighting...!
Well there used to be a weekly thread here about how wonderful Driveclub is. It was like someone was getting paid to post it. seriously like every week.Remember when people back in the early days of the XBO/PS4 took whatever crap was fed to them and had arguments between whether Driveclub or The Crew (holy shit) were better games?
Or how Driveclub was replacing GT on PS4 because of GT6, and Forza Horizon was going to be finished off?
Or when people thought games like Knack and Ryse were adequate or good games?
I didn't have to play the game "thoroughly". A dozen hours playing a racing game in 30fps was enough. I don't know your definition of "thoroughly" for a racing game but I wish I'd stopped sooner. Every car handles differently? Yeah, I know, and I would fucking hope so in today's age. At least DriveClub's complete online functionality will cease so it can get its final nail in its coffin.no even fucking true. Every car handles differently, I don't know how stupid people like you post absolute nonsense about games as facts without thoroughly playing them.
I have played DriveClub for easily over 150 to 200 hours or more.
Its like the time a moron on GAF was arguing with me that Resistance 3 is trash and then admitted that he never played the game past first level.
Not a huge driving fan, but how do you reconcile the title of the thread with the first line of the OP?I played it quite a bit when it launched and it was reasonably fun. I played in VR also at launch, and that wasn't great, but no biggie. The dynamic weather and TOD is cool.
However, I've spent the last week playing Gran Turismo Sport after getting a T300RS-GT wheel and I decided to do a few runs in DriveClub and MANNNNNN, maybe it's just in comparison to GT, but I'm deleting DC cos the game just feels broken. The ForceFeedback on the wheel is almost non-existant and it's 30FPS. I literally felt sick nauseous while playing it. The camera is super jumpy, the jaggies are horrendous. The cars feel like they have zero traction.
Maybe it's not fair to compare it to GTS, seeing as GTS is aguably the best looking and feeling racer of all time. What the hell were Evolution thinking producing an arcade-y racing game at 30FPS? I think if it was (at the very least, feature-wise) 60FPS, then it would still be a game worth playing today.
I'm sorry to say this, but I'm not that surprised Sony shut down the servers early and closed down Evolution. It's simply not a title worthy of being in their 1st-party stable.
Ahem. You can't be serious. There are 2 racers on another platform that are both arguably better. Far and away?Is not a bad game.
But you are comparing a 30 fps over the top arcade with Gran Turismo Sport which tries to simulate the real world and is incidentally far and away the best racer of this generation of consoles.
Not a huge driving fan, but how do you reconcile the title of the thread with the first line of the OP?
Steering wheel is supported. It's just supported in a shit way. Nowhere in the OP does it mention that it's not supported. And nowhere is it suggested that the lack of good wheel support is the only issue with the game. It's far from the only issue. maybe you should read it again, slowly, if you've been having such an issue comprehending.So game is bad because your steering wheel isnt properly supported? Who plays games like NFS or Forza Horizon with a wheel. DC is an amazing arcade racer, best weather effects STILL 6 years later.
As just a customer I hold Sony fully responsible for the failure of DriveClub. Presenting the game as a freebie prior to the console launch, saying it would be available day 1 on console launch, butchering the game into a gimped version for PS Plus when it did arrive, failures on the quality control for launch, launching before key features were implemented. They threw Evo into the fire and then pissed on them to put the fire out. It was a shit show from Sony which all came about because they wanted to have some good press prior to the console launch.
The game itself, whilst not perfect, filled a void in the racing genre on PlayStation. It’s the most fun i have had with a racing game on PS4. And the most fun I have had with a racing game since the last Project Gotham game.
AgreeI thought it was subpar and pretty weak.since launch. Its never been in the same league as the GTs or Forza IMO
I had enough to explain why in a couple of sentences in this thread ...Ok from now on everyone here needs to create a thread everytime they dont enjoy a game please and explain to everyone exactly why they didnt like it.
I found it being great, but of course if you compare it with GT Sport it might not be so good anymore.. Red Dead Redemption 2 is good too, but if you compare it with Breath of the Wild it will look like a shovelware walking (or riding) simulator.
Agree
The game was horrible on launch and I suspect the only reason it got airtime was because the ps4 had a lack of driving games at the time.....the game also had like 50 patches to make it fun
Gt sport does have it's flaws but is a much better driving experience
Steering wheel is supported. It's just supported in a shit way. Nowhere in the OP does it mention that it's not supported. And nowhere is it suggested that the lack of good wheel support is the only issue with the game.

hyperbolic.
Wow. So much vitriol. Show us on this doll where the bad game touched you.I didn't have to play the game "thoroughly". A dozen hours playing a racing game in 30fps was enough. I don't know your definition of "thoroughly" for a racing game but I wish I'd stopped sooner. Every car handles differently? Yeah, I know, and I would fucking hope so in today's age. At least DriveClub's complete online functionality will cease so it can get its final nail in its coffin.
It's ok OP, I know you're just salty that you never 3-starred the Venom Hot Lap.
Shhhhh, it's ok buddy, we're there for you.
Those were a walk in the park compared to Elite Level 19.^^^ Dont forget the Venom Hot lap in the rain as well
Driveclub >>>>>>>>>>>> Any Forza
I loved DC..but nahh.
Forza Horizon is a lot more fun I have to say for sure.
I think "quite a bit" has a different meaning than "a bit" as you stated in your last reply.Just because I played it a bit when it came out doesn't make it a good game.
Just because I had a small bit of fun with it doesn't make it a good game.
Perhaps it was pretty much the only option of racing game on the platform at the time, but hasn't stood the test of time whatsoever.
I don't agree that the title of the thread and the first line aren't compatible. I think you'd have to be pretty dense to feel that way.
100% agree. Reminds me of the old arcade racing games where your car was floating across the track without any feel to it. Not sure why anyone would play driveclub when there's better racing games out there. Driveclub is absolute trash.
What are you actually on about? Just because I found something "reasonably fun" or had a "small bit of fun" doesn't negate what I said in the original post or make DC an objectively good game. Everything that's said is relative to a person's expectations and experiences. What you might consider good one day might be shit the next day and vice-versa.I think "quite a bit" has a different meaning than "a bit" as you stated in your last reply.
I think "reasonably fun" is different than "small bit of fun".
I think it's unreasonable to think I'm dense when in your title you say Driveclub is "not good at all" but then say you played quite a bit and reasonably fun. Maybe you're the dense one if you can't seem to understand someone could see that as contradictory.
I mean doesn't the fact that it's reasonably fun and you played quite a bit mean that its at least an okay game? It's hyperbole that is not only unnecessary but...essentially false by common sense standards.
I'm not apologising for sharing my opinion, but feel bad for those many people who actually enjoy the game and have expressed their enjoyment on this very forum. I was once myself a champion of this game also, espousing it's great visuals and gameplay, but upon closer inspection, I realise it's just not a good game.I'm just wondering why you keep apologizing for having an opinion
60 fps is always preferable in every game, but DC is fine at 30 fps, so is Forza Horizon.It being a racing game but only 30FPS is sort of a big bummer honestly. Racing games imo are one of those genres where you need fine-tuned precision and where stuff like frame data is important for making frame-specific adjustments in your controls. 30FPS just makes sucks a ton of that away. 60FPS is always preferable when it comes to racing games, whether arcade-style or simulator IMHO.
