As an active car racing fan, I'm a bit disappointed in GT6, but Forza Motorsport 3 was a quality race game. Definately my favorite to date, with GT5 a close second (have yet to play GT6)

Forza 4 was terrible though, free upgrades, made the game boring.


They where a bit too easy to get but it didn't make the game borig I rather spend my in game credits on more cars then extra parts. 

I agree, it's not perfect, but it's better then grinding like in GT5, and it's better then free upgrades which resulted in completely arbitrary performance index races in Forza 4.

lol I wonder how many here have actually played both franchise.

And have ever driven a fast car to have any sort of frame of reference to which game is has better driving relism and physics.


You don't need to have driven a race car to know what game has better feedback from the road, and handling...........................

Forza Horizon is a spin off game not made by Turn 10 and for what it is it sales are actually very good and so is its quality 85/100 metascore one of the highest rated arcade racers of all time.

That argument holds zero weight considering how heavily forza and mario kart are bundled. GT is a sales beast period.

 

He decided to boast about sales but that isn't the topic, so I gave a joke response.

Take note of my tongue in cheek approach.

Microsoft smoked sony last gen when it came to exclusive racers.

If you like your racers, the was no better place to be than on a 360.
Forza 2, 3, 4 & Horizon, plus Project Gotham Racing 3 & 4 ALL scored higher than any GT, Supercar Challenge, Motorstorm etc.

Driving enthusiasts disagree, clearly. The reviewers simply do not represent the driving community. And why would they? I mean, driving sims are probably some of the least "gamey" games out there, so game reviewers should mostly not be fit to review them.

But alas, GT is a video game, available for a video game console, and is therefore bound to certain criteria.

Being more boring and grinding then Forza will reflect in its scores.

Um the sales show clearly many don't find it boring. Gt is about the drive, not the race. Some reviews/people don't get that. You saying it si more boring doesn't make it so.


The fact remains, that since GT3, the GT series has seen a fairly steep decline in it's scores.

I'm not knocking GT for the sake of it, hell, i will go on record now and say that GT3 for me is better than ANY Forza (it narrowly beats Forza 3, but has the rest well beaten IMO)

But i think it's true what a lot of people have started to say, GT is still getting strong sales purely based on the MASSIVE following it got during it's ps1/ps2 heyday.

Forza games since Forza 4 has seen a decline in scores too and i must say a decline in sales as well.


True, however, Forza 2, 3 & 4 scores were consistant, Horizon is a spin off, and Forza 5 rightfully got lower scores due to it's lack of content, but heres the thing, despite the lack of content, it still scored pretty well, so therefore, i believe a full blown Forza 6 which is rich in content can get the series back in to the 90's in terms of Metascore.

GT though........... well, GT3 was quite a long time ago now, so i don't know if the series will ever reach the mighty 90's again.

You can boast when the series continues to greatly outsell Forza. ;)

 

*Insert comment about Mario Kart sales here.*

*Insert comment about GT series being massively bundled here*

For the record, I'm only responding right now because I'm waiting on a massive update for GT6.

 


Don't be taking my lines, pal. I'm the one who predicts that Mario Kart 8 will outsell GT6 and Forza 5 combined.

In GT5 the seasonal events make it too easy to earn a lot of money even if you don't finish in the top 3 you will still make a very good amount of money in a pretty short amount of time.  What really takes a lot of time in GT5 is for the car that you still don't have to reapear in the used car dealership it also sucks that it has a $20 million credit bank limit you can't horde money.  I'm glad that all the cars are available from the begining in GT6 since they got rid of the used car dealership.

Off topic, but the interpretation of the bundling ecosystem is becoming really generalized and misinformed. RE4 Gamecube bundles =/= SMB/Duck Hunt NES bundles for crying out loud.
