People are just upset because it doesn't have a boost button or shoots guns, maybe GT6 will feature a Zombie mode. ¬_¬

No people are upset because the game was hyped to infinity and took 6 years to come out, while in the same time Turn 10 put out Forza 2 and and Forza 3 the latter of which is arguably at least on par with GT5 if not better.

It took 5yrs, yes that doesn't make a whole lot of difference but it was people who overhyped it and as a result are disappointed, people never look at things with a level head, they expect sex on a stick and draw their own conclusions and when it doesn't meet their expectations, they call foul play.

I am genuinely serious when I say I've heard people say it fails because it lacks a boost button and guns. As for Forza 2/3, I'll stick to GT5 thanks, whether it's better or whatever is a non-issue for me, what matters is in GT5 I won't get anywhere near the 1000 car marks, nor will I complete A/B spec or the Arcade mode or any of the special challenges or the drift challenges-

Basically what I'm trying to say is, the amount of content and quality in this game is overwhelming.

But if you won't get anywhere near accessing most of the content how is that a plus?  I understand and agree GT5 is great but in terms of quality if it is better than Forza ( and at the moment thats a BIG if ) It sill took them waaay longer to make a bunch of content that 70% of buyers won't even access while Turn 10 put out two huge sims in the same amount of time.  GT5 is excellent, but certainly isn't close to matching the hype in my personal opinion.

The same can be said about the amount of content forza doesn't have which GT does. If the livery editor is something you loved, then yea it would seem like that but to people who don't care about that type of thing GT5 has a ton of content.

When you say 70 percent of the buyers won't access what exactly do you mean? Also GT5P was released in the past 5 years, which in my opinion is a better racing game then forza 3 is. Now granted it has no where near the content, and it wasn't ment to but as far as what PD has put out the past 5 years I have no complaints.

 

In no way amI bagging on Forza 3. I love the game, my second favorite 360 game behind Mass Effect and def top ten this Gen, But I think people get to caught up in what Forza does and what GT doesn't and sees it as a bad thing. To me they are two different games with different approaches trying to reach the same audience.
