Yeah. The issue there is the huge number of 0s and 1s which is just ludicrous. I'd have to question how many of those are Xbox zealots or self-entitled, spoiled brats. On the flip side, there's loads of 10s as well. Not sure if they're genuine or just a reaction to the low scores.

Either way, I wouldn't trust it as an honest barometer of opinion.

At least here we'd get a more honest opinion from people we're confident have actually played the game.

I was so looking forward to this game at PS4 launch as I'd heard such good things about it but I'm seriously considering leaving it and waiting for Project Cars.

Anyone sell me on the idea of purchasing or convincing me that I'm right not bothering?

I can't blantently push you in one direction or another. It is a very good driving game, (from what I played last night), it is cheap (assuming you have plus). Project cars could be great, could be crap too. The plus edition could be out next week for you to try (could also be next month, who knows).

So I'm sorry I can't say get it or don't. The whole situation is a bit of a mess. But it's a very good racing game.

Servers are up.

Club: Digital Spy 1 created.

We should it like wrestling and have teams of good guys that play buy the rules and bad guys that don't and swear at you with their headsets then guys can jump from one team to the next backstabbing their club members. It could be like a big soap opera.

I'd go with the entitled spoilt brats. After the Horizon 2 launch the Forza forums were awash with posts like "I will never buy another Forza game" "This is a piece of shit" etc etc and they mark the game down for it's online component not working regardless of the fact that the single player worked perfectly.

Turn 10 shouldn't have let it get to that though. They know their userbase is large and should have had the servers running from minute 1 with minimal issues.

My copy arrived this afternoon. I'll make my own judgements. I'll give SP a blast. May leave it a bit before I try MP to let the servers settle down.

Probably PS+ subscribers marking it down. It's an excellent game, way better than a 5.9.

Bored out of my mind at work, looking forward to some DriveClub later.

Is it worth getting just for the single player option?

I don't think the single player tour will last that long. I'm fairly lowing through it. I have about 50 out of 250 stars.

It will get harder and I will want to go back and get the rest but if you're just going to play the offline campaign then you'll be done in maybe two or three weeks.

Buy it on disk if you're going single player only so you can trade it.

Just got a game alert when turned on PS4. Couldn't join though as servers are being wanky again

And when reading those 0s & 1s its easy to see which of those options they are.

For the most part the user scores on Metacritic are utterly pointless because too many idiots don't actually score the game, They score the system its on.

I tried the game for a while this afternoon but went back to FH2. I'll spend more time with it 2morro night and see how I get on.

Played this a bit before bed last night, and my god does this thing look amazing! Photographic! Handlings good too. Not sure about the club side obviously with no online.

People talking about sony servers are talking rubbish too, its only sony as far as "arms length" goes. They were evo servers. Also you cant just add crap loads of servers and expect them to work! There is software too that has to scale well. When will poeple understand this basic fact of network?

unsure whether to get this or not, is it open world? or do you just choose a race from a screen?

also, the online mode, is there lots of different things to do or just race against online people?

Online is down and its circuit racing, not open world.

It is stunning looking. The first really next gen looking game. The AI cars are a bit clumsy to say the least. Forever whacking into me!

When is this available for PS Plus subscribers??? Had a look for the Demo on the store and couldn't find it?

Update

Bit annoying that you can't replay a round within a championship if you miss out on a star, but instead have to redo the whole championship. Only a slight niggle though.

Up to level 15 now. Still yet to get lucky with the online servers.

I'm on level 15 or 15 too.

I had one online game earlier. It takes a lot of disconnecting before eventually getting connected so might just plow on with the single player for now.

It gets hard tho. I'm beginning to struggle with a few races.

Well I sent a request to join the club digital spy1.

I wonder if they're hoping by taking folks money like this they can then nick over to pc world over the weekend to buy a couple servers with the dosh.

Got to say if this is how games are going to work. Ie. They won't on release as not enough servers but just enough to cater for when the game settles down in a few weeks, then it does nothing for buying a game on release. Not just talking this game but any online game.

The servers working now?

They're working very intermittently. I was able to go online an join a club before being booted off again. This isn't good for such an eagerly anticipated release. Thankfully I am enjoying the single player for now.

I agree, I initially was going to play the PS+ Driveclub and then possibly buy it but now my interest in the game is going down by the day...

At this point I think I'm just gonna wait for Project CARS next month, it sounds more like my kind of game anyway.
