Since you made this thread, GT's score has gone up 4 points :P Don't jinx it!

I'll be honest, I have no desire to shit on GT6 and I look forward to playing it. I already have it on hold at Redbox...

But this ultimately means Forza 5 will get shit on less. That makes me happy!

How does a last gen game getting reviewed lower than a current gen game help it get "shit on less."  Especially considering they are only 2 points apart...



I just wished gaming sites would be more consistent. GT6, Knack, Ryse and Shadowfall (as a few examples) got a fair review and yet games like Call of Duty and Madden are allowed to be garbage every year and get a free pass.

EDIT: Looks like GT6 has gone up since you made this thread XD. Might pass Forza... maybe.



I really believe that Gran Turismo is now overrated becouse of PlayStation Fanboys who can not accept criticism and that the last Gran Turismo which has revolutionized the series was Gran Turismo 2!!!

Fanboy logic at play here. Basically they can't bash Forza 5 for not hitting the tradional 90+ meta when the last entry of their own IP scored lower the the latest Forza. And while only a few points difference, one is in the 70's and one is in the 80's. Two different quality brackets, even if one is high 70's and the other low 80's.....might as well be a 70 and 89 and would still be considered the same :P

GT3 was awesome and was made in very little time. Then it kind of went wrong with GT4.

Except that's not what's happening. The logic is that: GT6 is being nitpicked as a last gen PS3 game and Forza 5 gets a free pass despite the lower amount of content because it's on a next gen console.

The 2 point difference thing happened like 10 minutes ago - GT6 was at 75 all morning.

I still expect a few more troll reviews.



It seems that many new AAA games have a hard time to stay above 80, lets hope game reviews keep it like this and not a temporary "lets all be harsh on the launch of new consoles" moment.

Rly? Because I thought Forza 5 was punished for being a launch game. Its about the quality of what is in the game rather then the quantity of cars/tracks. That is what saved Forza 5 from the 70's IMO but the lacking of quantity prevented the 90. And as for GT, it sounds like its the video game aspects and not the SIM factors that is weighing down the franchise, not the last gen graphics
