Nice try, but I didn't talk about Driveclub in that thread.

Anyway enough off-topic from me.

Nice try? I meant this thread here. The point I made by posting that link was to express my doubt that you've played Driveclub. You obviously criticize things without having first hand experience, or by letting others think at your place.

In the thread I linked, you went on and one about how Sony and MS are crap. Further illustrating what I pointed out about your bahaviour on these forums. 

No, I made a post criticizing Sonic Boom (a Wii U game) and The Order. I gave reasons why.

Get over it. You're bringing an unrelated thread to the table (which is off-topic btw, I heard you hate it when that happens ;)) where I said I criticize games without trying them. I never once claimed in this thread I played Driveclub either. I just repeat what I saw from reviews.

The only valid reason for posting that thread would have been if I said I never criticized games without playing them. Alas for you that is not the case.

Not sure why you have the desire to make things personal all the time. Attack my arguments, not the person behind it. You're just derailing yet another thread.

Anyway, won't comment on your response in this thread anymore, so don't bother.

That's the thing. What I've pointed out makes it clear your argument is baseless since you haven't played the game. Most players who played the game agree that Driveclub is one of the best arcade style racer in years. 

Yet you went on to find excuses why Splatoon's free DLC content post release will affect the review scores since they're not there at launch, yet you're totally fine that it happened to the reviews of Driveclub, despite it having been known prior to release that there was going to be free DLCs and improvements coming after launch.

That would be a good score, the same as my current favorite Wii U game. :p

Games like Tropical Freeze and Kid Icarus: Uprising that made me stop trusting scores, and choose to predict them just for fun. :(

I'd say 85 because the lack of voice chat and some maps not being on release.

76.


Marked down for no voice chat and one online mode at launch.

Based off what?


How well the demo was received. I would chop my balls off if it got a 70 or lower. Absolutely no way is that happening, even if it is missing a few features and some initial content.

Edit: How about we bet? A score greater than 70, I win. Otherwise, you win. Loser has to change their avatar to a picture of Bruce Jenner for a whole week.

Deal, now that we are betting I would say 74-78 range.

I would say 82-84.
Lack of content at launch, no voice chat and very limited local multiplayer will make it another under-rated games on the WiiU. Just like Tropical Freeze.

You can't say deal then change the terms. ;)
