Driveclub is so broken they haven't released the PS+ version. So not the same thing.

It was also delayed 11 months. Any problems should have been fixed during that time.

COD is a billion dollar anual franchise. AW has sold a good bit less than some previous cods. Absolutely no excuse for the lame connection and shit netcode most people are experiencing.

I disagree. Reviewers are telling you their experience with the game.

A game going to crap post review doesn't reflect the experience the reviewer had.

well that's a load of bullshit. I love how it was OK for some reviewers to update their driveclub reviews post launch but they never do it for a game like AW even though the online standard is absolutely shit right now.

shikamaru317 ps4 apparently but it also occurs on xbox one . everyoens ping at some of the matches were all read and everyoen was teleporting.

With DC no one coul dget on for ages plus the ps plus edition si stil lnot out and won't be till sometime next year at least after january next year , which was promised to be release on launch day . Its different to COD issues. The game is for me the best COD since MW2.

What does the bolded have to do with the reviews?

The OP is right. The problems with COD:AW are not as big as with Drive Club, but they exist, so reviewers should deduct points or update their reviews to reflect that.

not having the free edition , sinc eit was promised to be available at launch and having to wait that long for it , is one of the reason for teh decrease scores , whreas everyone on COD can play the game

Well I'm glad to see someone getting worked up about something so important...

It wasn't necessary for reviewers to change their Driveclub review. They reviewed the product before it broke. Again, the game went to shit after launch and when reviews were completed.

Also, Driveclub's critical reception has more to do with the gameplay, not the online features. Online features were working fine during reviews.

Yeah, its not like Driveclub was a critical masterpiece and then the reviews changed. lol

CoD makes a lot of money so there should be no bugs? Yeah, that's a realistic expectation...

The best way to avoid problems is don't buy games at launch.

I saw a few video reviews for Driveclub and heard critics discuss it on podcasts. Online features had little bearing on scores. The complaints were with the game itself.

I own both Driveclub and AW. Driveclub online is really broken. You wait around 10 minutes for a Game to start and it only works every third time. On top of that, the challenges, an elementary Part of the Game, are still not available - 4 weeks after Release.

I had absolutely no issues with CoD: AW online Mode. It's not comparable to Driveclub at all.

Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.
