Or more specifically, sliding around on ice skates disguised to look like vehicles.

I hope so. That delay got on my nerves.

I think driving rocks in the game. It only took me the tutorial to get used to it and before I knew it I was drifting corners and weaving through traffic. I like to think of myself as the driver of the groups I'm in.

Yes they did fix it,  I played the beta when it was horrible to drive in the game.  Last patch before the Key To the City addressed the driving responsiveness and now they drive normally.

Yeah, driving is a lot more responsive. That or i've just gotten used to it.  But i don't notice the delay anymore

If you mean is the driving still server side? Then yeah it is. Everything still goes round corners like slicks on an oil spill.

Even in the gameplay shown before release the driving still looked terrible.

I haven't had any trouble with the driving, except for some of the faster cars are a wee bit too easy to flip over if you're not careful.

Only if you use the handbreak.

I dont know how the driving was but its fine now. it requires just enough skill to make chases interesting. I just am not used to using a keyboard to drive a car.
