So is this PS4's Lair? Or was that Knack?

 

[Loudninja]

About what most expected heh.

 

[gamechanger87]

Guess that sums them up...

Yup they are definitely swimming in M$ money

/s

I like Polygon. I think they are one of the best reviewers out there.

 

[Cyborg]

Uhm......Not that good!

 

[User 479360]

Lower than I expected

Our copy is supposed to arrive this week. Hopefully I'll enjoy it more than some of those lower review score writers.

 

[Floex]

USGamer: 7/10
GamesRadar: 8/10
Joystiq: 6/10

its free on PS Plus so hey

It isn't though.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

A 5 and 6 out of gate, huh?
Seems like Smash will be the game of the month then...

Bayonetta 2.

 

[Brazil]

So is this PS4's Lair? Or was that Knack?

It's not a bad game. It's just empty.

 

[LiK]

Oof, PS+ version for me then.

 

[ComputerMKII]

The Crew redeemed?

 

[BruiserBear]

What I expected. The game is pretty, and according to others it drives well. That's just not enough these days.

 

[fastmower]

I'm going to rent a then make my decision.

 

[OverBlood 3]

People keep saying 'but hey it's free' it's not free. A small section of the game is free.

 

[Salex_]

Jesus some of those summaries are brutal. Part of me is glad that glossy graphics aren't enough to hide less-than-stellar gameplay, and a bigger part of me is gutted that it's not reviewing better as I was going to use this as my gateway game to justify a PS4 ;-)

It's not getting bad reviews because of the gameplay. Did you read any gameplay impressions from people who have been playing the game for the last few days?

 

[jyoung188]

Ouch, these reviews seem harsh. I'll be downloading the ps+ versions to try it out for myself.

 

[Ol No Bones]

Review scores in general are getting lower. I welcome this. This game was probably a 8.5 last Gen but this Gen its a more realistic 7ish.

 

[Sid]

Dem mediocre scores and surprisingly this is the only PS4 exclusive this fall.

Reviews so far seem cloudy with a chance of score drops.

:lolol

 

[sublimit]

Never cared for reviews (positive or negative) especially from big sites.The opinions from certain GAF members hold much more merit for me and from what i've read in the OT so far people seem to enjoy the game a LOT.

Still very excited to try the PS+ version and judge for myself.

 

[killatopak]

Where's early retail guy that said the game would is absolutely 9+ for review.

Anyway, gonna try the PS+ version. Let's go!

 

[Ricky_R]

No romance

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Looked soulless from the very beginning and the EGX demo was so startlingly mediocre. Really wish I had an Xbone for FH2; can't believe NFS Rivals is still the best racing game on PS4, which isn't saying much.

 

[hwy_61]

Oh boy...

 

[Foshy]

I found GT sterile as all hell and the only feeling I got from Driveclub is " We want it to look better than GT."

I don't know, I absolutely love the locations they chose for DC.

Yeah, the menus are very simple with no fuss attached. Does that make the game "bland", seriously?

 

[valkillmore]

The Crew redeemed?

The Crew should be shaking in its chassis.

 

[dark10x]

That is indeed quite low. Hmm...

I hope this doesn't continue to deter developers from making circuit based games. I've come to realize that open world racing games just aren't for me. :\

 

[naeS]

Whatever, I played it this morning and it was really fun. Even better once we get the GAF League going.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Gamekult review: 5/10

tl;dr: Too old-school

[MikeE21286]

Damn....pre-order canceled :/

 

[Brazil]

The Crew redeemed?

At least DriveClub drives well.

 

[reKon]

Tough gen for games. You gotta really bring it to get those strong reviews

 

[baconcow]

lol@ Metacritic user review:

waiting a year for this **** Few cars, few circuits, stages of cardboard, old lighting techniques. And this is the power of PS4? PS4 is a radiator to warm the house in winter and in summer I use it as a paperweight.

yeah,ok.gif

 

[Nightengale]

Scores are slightly lower than expected, but the overall criticisms are pretty much in line with what I expected.

Personality and content.

 

[Dahaka]

This i one of the main reasons I don't bother with review's anymore. So much fluff without any depth or reasoning. It's like a college kid trying to impress his professor with his essay.

"Worthülse" as we'd say in Germany. I fucking hate them. Facebook-era has exploded the usage as well.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Soulless?

 

[Final Verdict]

Ouch!!

Gamespot 5/10

[Ape]

Welp.



Had higher hopes for this game.

Not really surprised to tbh

Sure you were

 

[Yoshichan]

I hope this doesn't mean anything... I truly do hope that Evolution will be fine and that they will continue doing what they love.

 

[Sendou]

Every game ever made?

This comes up every time when an anticipated game doesn't get 9/10 and 10/10 across the board. Even 8/10 isn't good enough in some cases. Surprise! People have different opinions. Just because others dislike a game and write about it doesn't have to mean anything regarding to how you perceive the game when playing it.

 

[kingdoug87]

Edit: beaten. Scores dont bother me, not like im not gonna try the plus version.

 

[Larogue]

Wow...

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

I find it hard to believe games like NFS: The Run and 2012 Most Wanted will be higher rated than this.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Psn plus version it is then.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Giving a part of the game away was the smartest thing Sony could have done. Unless it's legitimately unfun, it's immune to bad scores for a little bit.

I haven't played Driveclub, so it could be pretty mediocre on its own accord, but I cringe to think what the Metacritic will be on The Crew when it launches with the "driving a cat on ice skates" default handling.

 

[njean777]

It never looked revolutionary at all. It looked pretty, but that was pretty much it.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Project Cars to the rescue.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

It's depressing because now people are going to look at the review scores and say, HEY IT'S FREE.......poor Evo...

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Reviews are entirely unnecessary for this game. People can just try out the Plus version and see if they like it or not.
