I wonder if the Forza franchise was damaged by the reception for Forza 5 (visual downgrades, rushed feel to it, missing tracks/cars from previous entries, microtransactions, etc). It can't help that Forza 5 has been a giveaway with many XB1 bundles, so a lot of people might feel that they don't want or need yet another Forza game. I think it would hurt Gran Turismo as well to try to release on a yearly schedule. Anyway, happy to see SoM doing well, seems that it's a legitimately awesome game. LOL @ the clickbait Destructoid 6/10 though. There's always someone like that to get clicks with dishonesty. |
Yeah, this is why I find user reviews in retailer sites like Amazon and Newegg more reliable because 1.) the sites check if you actually have the product and 2.) people can vote whether the review is helpful or not.
Shadow of Mordor is holding up very well while Forza is actually slipping away a bit. Doesn't help with the fact that the X1 fell from around #30 to #43 over the past few days. It could be that LOTR is still very popular and has a larger appeal than the Forza series.
