Joined the DC Daggers club. I think we have one spot left.

I hit level 8 tonight and the Daggers are almost to level 12. The game is starting to grow on me the more I play. The Spotify app was built for this game. I still haven't encountered any weather effects yet, so still looking forward to that. We still have one more spot left if anyone is interested.

We won a challenge! Although it was one I sent out and only one other person from another club attempted it, but a win is a win! I guess when you invite clubs that have been around awhile there's no guarantee that they are still active playing the game.

I tried playing this the other day for the first time in months. It feels horrible to drive after playing so much Project Cars.

Really? How? Because I have not heard good things about Project Cars.

Depends what type of racing game you're looking for. Its easily the best racing sim for consoles, bugs aside.

So apparently because I downloaded the Sharefactory theme by accident, but hadn't actually downloaded Sharefactory, that put Driveclub in an infinite installing loop. Great. Installed Sharefactory and the game booted up fine (after 10 hours of downloading).

I was tempted to buy the full version before the demo came out because they dropped the price, but honestly the game isn't grabbing me from just the plus version. Any diehard fans with tips?

The demo is live again. Doesn't seem to be PS+ exclusive either. At least I didn't see the icon for it.

I see a giant "Playstation Plus Exclusive" banner over the game's logo.

Which is which? I honestly think driveclub is plenty sim-like. If Project Cars is even more sim-like, it would unplayable to me.

Driveclub is about as much as a sim as Need for Speed.

I dunno, maybe I haven't played a racing game extensively since Burnout or something, but I think I need something more arcadey than even Driveclub. Unless that first car they give you is just bad at handling or something.

Driveclub and Forza Horizons 2 are middle of the road, Need for Speed: Rivals / Burnout / GRID are arcade, Project Cars and Gran Turismo are sim.

Handling varies per vehicle.

Forza might be middle of the road. FH2 is most certainly an arcade racer if ever there were one. I think Driveclub leans more towards sim racing (except that there isn't the upgrade and minor adjustments we normally see with a sim racer).

I dunno, Driveclub just doesn't feel like a sim to me.
