The Crew is a game for those that like racers, and need something to occupy that slot between a simulation and arcade title. The Crew never fully delivers on the promise of an online racer with a huge, populated world. It does, however, deliver a competent racing game that is sure to please fans of the makes and models featured, and fans of movies in the vein of Gone in 60 Seconds.

Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.
You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?
It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.
Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.
I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."
As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).
He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.
I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !
This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.
Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!
I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
The series' next iteration is coming this year.
Now that we have great availability for GeForce GTX GPUs across retailers and at prices gamers can afford, there’s never been a better time to become a GeForce Gamer and ‘Join the Crew’.
They need to work on fixing these issues:
1.Stabilize the servers. Have had my connection drop 2 or 3 times during missions so I lose my progress.
2. Rubberbanding especially in chases is just insane. You could ram the cops into buildings and they will drive at light speed to catch up to you or they will spawn directly in front of you.
3. Car handling is still off. I use sport setup and I have full upgraded handling but when Im landing my car off a jump the car will sometimes randomly spin out.
4. Multiplayer matchmaking needs to match people with cars of a similar car level. Its not fun when you are a level 350 and the other guy is 1050. Should match people within 100-200 car levels.
5. Characters during missions talk way too much. Way too annoying during missions when you have somebody repeat the same thing over and over and over again. I know I have to win the race stop telling me that.
this game is a legend in the making /s
