Sorry but DF say Horizon is the best in its category class technically. So your welcome to like GT5's artstyle more.

And LOL at UC 2 and 3 being more acclaimed than Halo or Gears. Last time I looked gamers held Gears and Halo ( the later far more ) more acclaimed. When UC sells like Halo then we can look at how acclaimed it is for the gamers out there. IMO and many more who buy the games. Halo kills UC in all fields. But again tats just difference of opinion in numbers. Many more numbers where Halo is concerned.

Your welcome to use Meta as a guage of course. 

Mega ROFL at Halo as a declining franchise. Halo 4 is the fastest selling halo to date. And word of mouth is strong with this one. Best game of the generation. By some way. Who cares what some poor media reviewed the game at. Going by your logic, UC4 will be the lowest UC rated ever and possibly below 90 meta. UC is also in decline now according to your logic.

I disagree.

GT5 > Forza 4 > Horizons in graphics terms.

In gameplay, driving physics and AI I put Forza 3 over Forza 4 and Horizons too.

Your aloud to disagree aesthetically. But DF have confirmed Horizon > Forza 4 and GT5 technically. Its the best in its class. 

Artistically you can think what you want.

Same way DF said Halo 4 is technically in with a shout at best visuals ever on console.

Yeah Forza 3s AI was far better.

GT5s still where its at though.

As for acclaim -> awards & meta. It even got ND compared to the likes of Rockstar, Valve etc. Now thats praise! Not some nut job saying Halo 4 is beatiful no matter what meta says cause numbers caant bring him dowwnnnn.

That's not really true... it is in some contries like Australia but in others like UK it's is down compared to Halo 3 and Reach. I have some doubts now but I'm sure it sold near Halo 3 (over or under) and not toped 4 million first week... we need more data (NPD will difine my doubts).

And the U2 and U3 is way more acclamed for GRAPHICs than Gears or Halo... that's what Aldro is saying.

We are talking about visuals, no? GT5 and Forza 4 have better visuals than Horizon... more details, more clean, more beautiful... better framerate... the cars are leagues ahead (external and internal).

DF said Halo 4 is the best visuals ever in 360... that's what I undestand in the sentence... read it all.

Edit - DF removed this part of the article... I can't found it anymore.

Digital Foundry vs. Halo 4  - The new benchmark for Xbox 360 visuals?

Mods: I request this to be locked. Honestly, this thread will never find peace. Too much personal vendetta due to agendas to raise one owns ego (somehow). Im no better and I recommend you lock this!

This is laughable at best. Your basing your entire game experiences on a meta score. And awards? Did tose awards come from the 200 million gamers? Or some media ( of which the video game media is possibly the worst of any medium ). DF arent some nut job. They look at the technical aspects of the games. If you dont like Halo 4's visuals artistically thats fine. But technically its up at the top. In with its own shout of best technical visuals on console yet.

Playing GT5 after Forza 4 is like chewing wood for me. When it eventually feels like racing instead of walking I may play GT again. But tats my opinion of a series thats not changed at all. Forza has made itself fun, beautiful and customisable. GT is rushed ( or not ) half a PS2 game half a PS3 and boring like a procession. And why cant I paint my car yet? Like I can in real life?

Really?

So you like to disregard DF when it suits your graphics agenda?
