Edit: 14.7GB

I've been trying to get into this game but I've already hit my ceiling. I'm only level 18 but I just can't win any races or even place in the top three. I just am no good at sim racers and I don't think I have the patience to practice.

I just got this game a few days ago and really loving it. The challenges are great!

Ya I was saying on the ps4 thread I'm not much of a racer and haven't enjoyed one since Burnout Revenge on PS2 but this is really hitting it for me.

I just really like the feel of the game, the tracks, weather and cars. The challenges are brilliant too. I just find them so addictive.

Also there is actually still a space in my club if someone wants to join.

I played this today on a friends PS4 and I enjoyed it thoroughly. If the free PS+ version was released many more would see this. It was only after playing it that I put the extra €12 onto my PSN account to buy it. Before playing it I wasn't touching it with a barge pole. How do I join your club tok9?

1 of my friends is joining it once it's installed so we've a full club. But I'm sure you'll be able to find one here too.

this is a great game but it is really difficult to get good at, Im only level 12 and get slaughtered, can't even get 3rd place. I guess I don't practice enough tho!

This is far from a sim, it's about a stage up from Need for Speed in arcade feel. Forza and GT are more sim like in feel.

It's just practice to find the exploits in the car's handling. The key is to brake a bit more than you think you need to to stay on the corners and don't go off. After a bit you will get to know your brake points with various cars.

When the game first came out I was winning most/all the races online and offline with no penalties no problem. Haven't played it in a while so more people must have it and practiced at it.

When the game first came out if you went off the track slightly or hit anyone that was it, all your speed was gone and you had no hope of winning once that happened. I see that's been relaxed alot in updates since.

Pac1Man

I haven't played the game but the best generic tip I got for any racer was to try and keep the back wheels in line with the front as much as possible.

It sounds simple and condescending but it helped me a lot back in the days of PGR and beyond.

Currently downloading now, nice to read the playability has improved. Can't wait to see the weather effects.

Just played my first race, feels amazing. As many have already said, there's a great sense of speed, and the graphics are superb. If anyone is up for making a club or has an extra space in one, I'd be on board.

Any one else fall victim to this bump?

It recently taught me that it's possible to flip your car in Driveclub (didn't have enough system storage to save clip that time).

How many do u need for a club? And how does it work? I've done no research on this game other than knowing it had a ropey start but looks amazing.

I'll have a look at a few YouTube videos in a bit.

5uspect

Picked it up too.

It is up to six players in a club. Once you join a club everything you do will contribute xp to the club.

murphyebass

Just had a few races.

I'll definitely get my €22.50 out of it.

It looks very nice. The rain effects are beautiful.

And most importantly it handles well. Mistakes so far for me have been my own fault and not the game so looking forward to throwing a few hours into it.

All in all a welcome distraction from Destiny. This and Smash bros will be my take a break from Destiny games. Lol

Will look in to the club stuff in the coming days josey_wales
