Exactly. But I like to have an offline version of this one so that I can play this if I don't have internet.
I think it is important to have an offline version because not everyone has internet access but in saying that I feel the offline version should have the option of having updates.
Online games suck big time. All games should be offline with an online multiplayer option. Having said that, The Crew is among the worst mmo I've ever played. If you've not bought this piece of shit you call a racing game, consider yourself lucky.
I guess I also need a break from trolls who come out on nowhere and start ramming you. The offline mode could be fun imo.
I really hate when that happens. You are just racing enjoying the game and BAMM!! Some troll rams into you.
I've heard from a ton of gamers who don't like 'The Crew' really sucks. I don't even think the devs should bother with an offline mode anymore.
If you dont want to be influenced, then get the game and try it for yourself. Maybe that will clear any doubts you currently have.
