I think it would have scored better if it was not delayed for almost 1 YEAR and STILL incomplete, also that "club" thing is very basic and nothing special. They should have made a new Motorstorm.

Eh?

Please rewrite your OP to include more than "Eh?". Give your reasoning behind your statement, write a sentence to start off discussion. As it is  now, it's lacking in content therefore not complying to the rules. 

Thank you.



Signature goes here!

I think they gave up on Motorstorm because Sony felt there was little appeal for a game like that. Excuses aside, the last game was a flop.

Driveclub has greater potential of success inspite of critical reception.

I don't think so. I just think that Driveclub is a very average game. Its looked that way from every trailer I've seen.

Titanfall and horizon 2 prove that good games are praised well by reviews still. 60/70 is still a fairly good game, just not an amazing game. Driveclub would have reviewed the same I think. After playing it yesterday its handling and invisible walls have alot of problems. I've heard some try and compare it to Pgr. It's nowhete near Pgr. Pgrs handling is completely different and isn't littered with false walls where they aren't needed.

what does destiny prove getting a good few points extra on the xbox metacritic compared to the playstation metacritic? Think it shows it's getting a slightly easier ride. 


no not at all. It would be because some of the xbox only reviewers probably rated slightly higher than Sony only reviewers. Meta is just an overall percentage of all reviewers. So a snapshot critic wide of its rough quality across many critic opinions. Nothings changed. And that's it. Theres no bs happening, and no Sony or Microsoft treated harsher crap going on. Last gen sonys games for reviewed well, even if some didn't agree with it. Forza is a series that's consistantly reviewed well. So it was always going to be an upill battle for Sony to beat it in reviews. Turn 10 and playground are top developers with a great review and game record.


why are xbox only reviewers giving the same game higher scores than ps only reviewers? They could be doing it for all the exclusives too. It's bs lke that that makes you wonder about meta.

judge it whn you play it. I've been playing it all day and it's like the spiritual successor to ridge racer and PGR. Anybody who like those games would like this game. I don't give a shit what genre of racing people think it should go under it's a bloody fun game that looks better than anything I ever played. 

 

I also don't get the whole content thing. It's like Fifa to me. 90% of the content is ever going to be used (not by me anyway)

By request of a moderator I'm gonna say stuff in the OP.

Driveclub is getting some low review scores. Low 70s at the moment. SUP WITH THAT?!?!

Could it be Driveclub is mediocre... or did the awesomeness of FH2 make it seem mediocre in comparison to critics?!?!

Would Driveclub score better it released prior to FH2? Vote now!!!


One thing I learned from all this is that the difference between medicore and awseomeness is only 14/100. 



LudicrousSpeed on 08 October 2014

Yeah, I think #Driveclub would have scored a little higher if people did not have a superior racing game to compare it to.

At the same time, on the flip side, how better would Horizon 2 have scored if it came after? If #Driveclub got maybe a 78 instead of a 72, then add 6 points to Horizon 2 as well and it's what, 90? 92?

Maybe reviewers are readjusting their scales for the new gen :)


I really, really hope this is true. I am so fed up of every game getting 90%+ when they are the same and the public rate the at ~40%.

wouldn't get paranoid about it. I

I would get paranoid over it. Ps4 version has more reviews to it to. As some reviewers only did ps4 version. Meta should of included those same scores in the xbox version to. But haven't. So it would be lower if they were included in xbox. Ps4 was considered lead platform I believe hence reviews done on ps4 version. Happened to 360 last gen. I generally agree with meta so far this gen. Although maybe not killzone. That deserved 80 imo.
