DriveClub (PS4)

[psusnoop]

Is his game worth it? Is there multiplayer?

[SmoothPancakes]

I've downloaded the PS Plus edition. Haven't played it yet. In fact, still have a ton of crap to download. You download the game, then you download something like a 7 or 13 GB application data file then you download a 10 GB update file. Ridiculous. I still have 3-5 GB of the update file waiting to download because I don't feel like having my network speeds dragged down while trying to play MLB The Show and watch videos on my laptop at the same time by having that thing rolling in the background.

I just downloaded it the other night but haven't played it yet. Not sure if the update finished or not. When it does I'll eventually play it. The update was massive!

I think it is fun, but not necessarily the most engaging for whatever reason.

I think there is MP? Pretty sure. A few of us here have the game - we should arrange a TGT DC night.

BTW, there's also a TGT group on DriveClub. LMK who wants an invite and I can send one over. IIRC, the XP earned cumulatively as a group unlocks new paint schemes and items so it's worth joining, even if we rarely play as a group.

I downloaded it, like others have said it seems like a massive download, once the large game downloads then there is a large update, seems like it took quite a while to get it all downloaded and then installed.

I played it for about 30 mins, seems like a good racer. I think it would be more fun to race live against other people. I'm pretty sure this is one I wouldn't go out and purchase. I downloaded the PS+ free edition.

I'm game just let us know when

Send me over an invite

[cdj]

Hopped on now to add you, Skip - but PSN is down/goofy. I'll try again later.

[JBHuskers]

I think I'm a level 10 or something now. With more in the TGT group, I'll have to fire it back up again, it's been a month or so since I played.

[ryby6969]

I have the download and have been debating on paying the $25 for the full version. Hit me up with an invite too Cdj

[skipwondah33]

Ahh man I thought it was the full version..damn hopefully that isn't needed to play online or to enjoy it fully

[cdj]

This afternoon the game was $20 at Amazon, but now it is back to $47 ($40 digital).

ryby - you got it. Will add you & skip. Anybody else?

EDIT - Invites sent, ryby & skip. The group can only have six members it seems, so two spots remain.

[CLW]

When I get Internet at my new house id like to join

[psusnoop]

Ok I will splurge and buy it this week. My son will like to play it too.

I'll post when to send invite.

[cdj]

Thanks man - I dunno if it matters but I just have PS+ edition right now.

[skipwondah33]

Don't think it matters CLW. I have that version as well and I was able to join.

Though I found out quite a bit of the game isn't unlocked to me when trying to play other modes/vehicles.
