Or when Poloygon gives it a 9/10

Must say though, reading the responses, the people here are class acts all the way.

Guess we all been burned by the harsh launch reviews in some way lol

I wonder how Selnor is taking it???
The game should be rightly slammed for 14 tracks and for being very similar to Forza 4
If you love the Forza series then you'll probably enjoy it far more so judge it accordingly

Atleast Forza still has a good past track record. Killzone should probably be considerd dead by now. Hopefully whatever IP GG is currently working on can fill that hole.

Equally bad, but I think that´s the price for Full HD :/ (btw, Assassin´s Creed 4 looks gorgeous in 1080p, any news about the resolution on XO?)

I bought it day one and it was £39.99. It was $40 on release too. So it was cheaper, not full price. But it was not cheap.

My point was actually that prologue had a lot less content then the previous GT game and Eurogamer back then didn't complain about it.  To me it seems that this gen the rules have changed somewhat in regards to the first batch of next gen games. Maybe they were more forgiving back at the start of this gen. 

WTF EGM...

In general, these are very disappointing scores for a Forza game. I honestly expected this to be the best racing game. I guess Forza 4 still holds that title by a long shot. 

Just ignore their review scores, they are just completely random

But I have to say I find the Eurogamer review really worrying http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-20-forza-motorsport-5-review

"All that's left is the grind, and it's not a particularly pleasant one. Unlike previous outings, cars don't unlock upon levelling up. Everything must be bought in Forza Motorsport 5, and all transactions take place in a slightly misshapen economy. A series will, on average, net the player in excess of 110,000 credits for just under an hour's effort - but with some of the premium racecars costing well over a million, it's a somewhat brutal grind. Good job, then, that there are tokens purchasable on the Xbox One's marketplace for you to attain the car you're after, or to temporarily boost the rate at which you gain XP. When you've already paid £429.99 for a new console, £44.99 for the game and maybe even £349.99 for the only steering wheel that the game supports at launch, such tricks appear a little unsavoury, and in Forza 5, mechanics greedily smuggled from free-to-play games trample over the elegant RPG elements the series once embraced so effectively."

I find this trend really really worrying and just hope that nobody buys this sort of stuff. If I pay full price, I expect to not have these sorts of things. Its okay as an added extra, but this seems to imply that the game is designed to encourage you to buy stuff. I hope they are just exaggerating it

Actually Prologue only had six tracks with twelve different layouts.  That being said I think most the reviews Forza 5 got are pretty fair.

Haha Sessler is still acting like Microsoft's bitch 10/10 pathetic it maybe a fun and quality racing game but considering the number of tracks, cars and features that are missing. A perfect score is a joke.

Polygon continuing to look the part of MS stooge as well. But at least they know enough not to throw out 10's.
