It's the penalty system that kills it for me.  The fact that you get penalized but the AI doesn't drives me nuts.  You get penalised for the AI hitting you but they do not, which slows you down, but they keep going unempended by the penalty that they caused.  I'm not the best racing game player, I like the genre, but I'm nowhere near pro.  This has been the most frustrating experience I have had in a long time.  Things like going through the terrain to find shortcuts gets you penallized is annoying as well. 

I feel like they are penalizing the play for bad game design, and I don't have to like that.

I honestly have no idea what I was expecting.  I was hoping for something more like Sega Rally 2.  I like games like GT, Forza, Sega Rally, etc.  This game mechanics in Drive Club just annoy me.


Sounds like it to sim for you not enough arcade or to much hmm not sure.  I crash hard into them and hardly get a penalty when i do i knew i would.

There are frustrations but for me they are similar to sim games.  The only legit frustration i have is no reply button, some times i screw up late and the race is wasted.  Other wise its all easy, use a good line and all the issues you have will be gone.  

Iv never got a penalty for the ai hitting me, and i race as if its bumper care lol.  A habbit from old GT games.  

You sound like a pro racer, I'm a casual racer.

Two different type of players, two different experiences playing the game.  Maybe that's why reviews are so divided.  

I don't think it's a sim things because I did not have the same problem with GT5 (skipped 6) or Forza Motorsports.
