Many of the people who are ok with it, didn't buy it for it's social aspects or MP aspects, they bought it for the SP, the point to point tracks etc... That is certainly not all of the people who bought it, and nobody's white washing that this should've been fixed pre-launch, I've said it myself numerous times. However, the game is far from unplayable (like, let's say, Skyrim PS3 was for most people, and yet still got 10/10, and few (if any) score adjustments were made). Remember, not many people even cared about the PS4/XB1's social features pre-launch, there are still a chunk of gamer's out there who simply like SP games (I'm one of them). Again though, it doesn't excuse this problem, and if anything, I sincerely hope that in the DC post-mortum, Evolution is transparent about where exactly this went wrong. Full disclosure would be best, in my opinion. That having been said, they've been pretty vocal about their progress, and everytime they release an update it comes with some kind of word from them. The only thing I'm bothered with now, is the lack of comment on the PS+ version. Granted, it makes sense to me that they'd hold off on it until they've fixed the issues (as does the idea that they could turn off the social aspects/MP aspects of the PS+ version and release it), but, that it makes sense to me, doesn't mean they shouldn't have a comment on it nearly a month after the free version was supposed to launch. |
I meant it more in general. So I'm also questioning the practices of the SimCity 2013s and the Battlefield 4s and whatever else. I'm not exactly sure what features DriveClub has in full and I'll take your word for it that there's still a point to owning it now, but apparently the current issue breaks a large chunk of the game and arguably the 'main' point of it. What I'm trying to say is that I find it unbelievable that a lot of gamers apparently have no standard anymore. Companies can just bring broken products, take money and be done with it. Is it strange to expect a working product (again not singling out this game)?
But this is sublemental to my other two posts, I agree with what you wrote
