    Honest Opinion, Should I buy The Crew

    Hello All,

    PSN has a great Black Friday Sale going and The Crew is apart if it. The Complete Edition version is on sale for $13.19 which is very little money, but nonetheless it's money that could be put toward something else. So my question is simple, for the people who have played the game for a good amount of time, what is your opinion of the game and is it worth a buy? How have the devs been? Have they been supporting the game with regular updates and patches to fix issues? I know they released a patch to enhance the visuals and weather effects some time ago, but what about bugs and glitches? If you're on PlayStation, how is the community? I know the game is approaching it's two year anniversary which could be mean The Crew 2 could be on the horizon and support for this game may be coming to an end. Any helpful responses would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    For 13$, definitely.

    As for patches and updates, there was a break for a couple of months, but now Calling All Units expansion is about to launch, which will begin the 2nd "update cycle". I'm not sure if they will continue with this pattern going forward, but it seems likely.

    Also, the devs have confirmed multiple times that they will keep working on the game for as long as possible, so this is definitely not the last expansion. No guarantees, of course, but I'd expect AT LEAST another year of full support, patches and updates. Well, actually, if this isn't the last expansion, then it's at least 2 years.

    If you're on PlayStation, how is the community?
    its kind of weird,actually.
    i moved from xbox to ps4,and the xbox community was Wayyyy more friendly and not so many trolls.
    so far,on This game,ive noticed a Bunch of rammers
    /like literally,im currently sitting on the side of the road with 2 of them now/when i ported to a new guy from this forum,
    they were chasing him and doggin him bad...

    and not many friendly people.
    lotta people run from you if you try to cruise with them,or port to a new location.
    like i said...kinda weird out there.

    killer deal tho,buy it and come play,ill intro you to the few cool people ive met so far
    the game itself is mad fun!

    Thanks for the info. I'm leaning towards just buying it based on your comment and some additional research I have been doing.

    That's messed up. I would have to say the majority of the people I run into on PSN are friendly and helpful. I hope these idiots didn't leave a bad impression on you about the rest of the community.

    In your experience, what are the races like? Are they competitive when facing the AI? Do they allow the AI to turn super to win races? Any info you can provide that will be useful is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the response.

    AI is okay in regular missions, mostly because they have a fixed level. For example, they start with level 12 cars in the first missions, then build up to around 800 or something along those lines for the final ones. So, as long as you keep upgrading your car, you should be completely fine.

    Faction missions are different, as they have high-level cars. Some race missions CAN be quite hard. But you can often use shortcuts to your advantage, since AI doesn't use them.

    Thanks everyone for the info. I'm going to buy it. I've always wanted to take the plunge and pick this up and at this price along with some feedback from the community it now makes sense. Thanks again.
