What balance though? Anyway I'm not bothered about the score, just like talking about Driveclub. It's definitely the throwback I was looking for.

Forza Horizon is not that refreshing, there were plenty open world racers before it with more activities, longer races (TDU series, Burnout paradise), better races keeping you working for it instead of checking of race after race (Midnight club LA), and cop chases and better sense of speed (NFS Hot pursuit, Most wanted, Rivals) What Forza Horizon brought is apparently what you hold against DC, a more sim like handling model.

I enjoyed Forza Horizon but the track racing was average. The final race I didn't even have competition, the AI screwed up in the beginning and I never saw them again during the race. Plus all the slight varieties in tracks quickly became repetitive, same with the world that didn't offer anything new after the first 2 hours. It was fun going for speed records yet after completing all the rasces in 13 hours I was kinda over the game. I'm still looking forward to playing FH2, just not for any skill based racing. Same with the crew. Not for racing, for cruising coast to coast. I spend over 100 hours on ETS2 just for that too. Aberdeen to Verona through the channel tunnel without a speed limiter, reaching 160kph in a fully upgraded Scania :) (That has an addictive build your truck emporium game though, dunno how long the crew will entertain me)

The bar in arcade racers has been raised beyond visuals. Challenge mode is a game changer, especially for people like me that don't really care about online racing. Racing other people asynchronously is much more enjoyable to me, no wait times involved or idiots crashing into you.

FH not refreshing but you think Driveclub is? Please.  Nice graphics.  About it. 

Have you ACTUALLY played DC or are you jsut saying nice graphics and that's about it just to say it?

He's one of those people who bases his opinion on the opinions of the majority, in this case the ones who haven't played the game and likely don't even own a PS4.

Ahhhh I see. Well I am not one of those types.  It just baffles me when I see
 people down a game that they don't even own or have never even played. Heck the majority says the Halo series is one of the greatest games ever invented and is a must play yet I can't get into Halo at all. But you won't ever see me downing it or talking bad about it. The majority also says Gran Turismo is an amazing SIM racer yet I can['t get into it either yet you would never see me downing it. Some folks just can't get past the "conzole Warz" smh

Yeah its sad but what's even more sad is taht some reviwers who are meant to be professionals also can't get past this console wars.

Anyways I also partially disagree with you, both Halo and GT are the best series in their genres.

Oh I never said they were not the best in their respective genres I just said I never got into either of them. But I would never down them lol.

Agreed. The only racing series Ive been playing for the past few years has been DiRT but driveclub actually looks like a fun game to play. Someone on gaf described racing around in a blizzard barely seeing 10 ft in front of you having to rely on lights from objects passing by, full adrenaline because of  how immersive the experience is. It sounds like there's been a lot of tweaking to the mechanics In updates as well

You inspired me to make a video of a heavy snow run. That was intense. Took a lot of runs to get a win.

(Btw I can get the video to show when I edit my post, why won't it show up in the thread anymore?)


Clearly brings nothing new to the table. Every racing game released in the past decade has had driving conditions like that!



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Weren't you quite vocal about how wrong you were to buy this game at launch and you wanted a refund? Lol you were furious at Sony in the PS Nation thread.
