No, it doesn't. NFS is for the arcade racing fans. Driveclub was supposed to be the game to compare with Forza since it was a sim. GT6 is coming out too late for it to affect Forza's reviews. People already had half a month to get all the FPS they needed before playing Killzone. So by then it got boring.

Just because Forza is the only next gen Sim doesn't mean the ones prior fail to exist or that Forza automatically gets a free pass. Even if we were to ignore GT6 because it's coming out too late, Forza 5 still lacks in content and gameplay features compared to GT5 and Forza 4. GT5 especially since it also has weather and night time racing.

Forza 5 doesn't seem to be a proper evolution and seems more like a step back or at best standing still.

 

 

We obviously don't agree and that is fine, but I think it could and should be rated just like everything else seems to have been at this point, and I think it will.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Despite having way more launch titles, it had way more bombas too, draging the average down to 67.7

Hey man, thanks for doing that! Hope it wasn't too much of a pain. Interesting to see the averages. Lots of 7th gen ports across the board. And third-party games doing a lot better than first-party games.

If you are including Lococycle then Flower for PS4 should be included as well. Same with Sound Shapes.


No Metacritic scores. If they had them we would also be able to include DC Universe, Warframe and Blacklight as well.

So apparently DR3 doesn't have framerate issues after a Day One patch http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=172469

You cant add games to a launch lineup unless theyre available on the day of launch, obviously.

I agree with you on the scoring for forza 5 and ryse, but only if you swap the numbers.



When are Ryse and Forza lifting embargoez?



is it true the ryse embargo lasts until friday?

now why could they ever possibly want its reviews AFTER launch?



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

forza is either tomorrow or the next day, ryse is basically on launch day.

Zoo Tycoon metacritic just dropped to 70.
