Topic: Drive Club Official Thread

If you are going to do it go for the 2TB. That is what I got and love it...

I would upgrade my hardrive but I am an idiot when it comes to those sort of things and I am afraid of damage my PS4 or losing all of my data lol.

It's super easy. I had no idea what I was doing going in but YouTube walked me through it.

Bikes is really good. A lot better than cars in my opinion, and that was a lot of fun. I do like bikes more than cars in general, mind you, but it really makes me feel like i'm zipping along on a Fireblade!

I finally got around to playing Bikes, and it's awesome! I haven't played Driveclub for months, so it took me a little while to ease back into it, but the superbikes handle really well. Just played a few of the first events in the Tour and took a couple of screenshots. It's certainly an impressive expansion.

It hardly needs saying at this point, but Driveclub really is stunning to look at. I follow Driveclub and Paul Rustchynsky (game director) on Twitter and some of the screenshots they share are phenomenal.

decisions........decisions........

So I decided to fire this up again tonight and yeah just as bad at this game as before lol. Just one question can you get the Bikes on the PS + version? And if so how?

@Tasuki: Very sure you can't. But it's worth the purchase, in my opinion. I played it solid one Saturday afternoon and just "got good", now I can just run perfect lap after perfect lap. I was crashing all over the place in the higher spec cars on the base game.

@kyleforrester87: I've been playing quite a lot recently but mostly in hatchbacks as I seem to be all over the place in the sports car. Maybe I need to persist with them for a bit longer and try and stop sliding everywhere!

@mrobinson91: Yeah just practice and it'll click.

I was smashing into every third barrier when I first got Bikes but I got a lot better with a good few hours practice! I don't have much patience for racing games generally but DC gets a lot right!

@kyleforrester87: Thanks for the info. Yeah I will probably go ahead and purchase the full game especially now that the price has come down, probably sometime after Christmas unless I get some money or gift cards.

Yeah I generally not a big fan of racing games too. The only racing games I liked were back on the SNES but I did like MSR on the Dreamcast and PGR on the Xbox and DC reminds me alot of them. I keep DC around to scratch that itch I get for a racing game but soon get aggravated and have enough of it.

Guess I just need to quit aggravated with it and put some time into it.

Played a bit more today and I actually did fairly well, I actually finished 4th!!!! In fact one race was leading for most of it but then right at the end my car decided to slip and slide all over and I lost 3 potions while I was trying to correct it and got fourth again. I tried a few more times after that but I couldn't get back to the lead, I think I was to aggravated at that point so I had to stop. Looking back now I am pleased at how well I did but sadly I need to get third or higher to move on.

Drive Club is going to be one of those games that I am going to get aggravated at alot but keep coming back too to try to get better at.

@Tasuki: Have you tried turning on brake assist or dialling down the difficulty? No shame while you're learning the ropes.

@get2sammyb: Yeah I am in fact using the break assist and it's helped alot. I started it on high and after a few races I dialed it down hopefully I get to the point where I won't need it, at least that's my goal. Didn't know that the difficulty can be adjusted might look into that next time I play.

I am really enjoying the game alot one of my favorite on the PS4 and I am just playing the PSN version. I should just get the whole game.

Btw @get2sammyb How come Drive Club Bikes was included in the GOTY choices?

@Tasuki: I don't think it was? We excluded it because I felt it was better as an expansion pack than a standalone game, and expansions are exempt. But shhhhhhhhh, we don't talk about Game of the Year here!

Prying eyes!

@get2sammyb: I play it as a standalone But yeah it is a bit light on vehicles in comparison to the main game. Hopefully that changes.
