Hey, less drama and more Forza!

Did you know is the king of 7th gen racing*?

(*according to metacritic)

If you' don't like the topic of the thread, move along and let it die.

Yo, Forza, I'm really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Gran Turismo 1 is the greatest racing game of all time.

king of reviews according to metacritic yes but for everyone else no, if this thread was titled king of 7th gen metacritic then sure Forza wins but to say Forza is the best racing sim is quite bold but a bit silly given that there have been several other racers far more realistic better racing games (not GT) that may have scored less but were released during the 7th gen, are you willing to go as far and say Forza is better than these other racing sims when if put in a head to head, authenticism of the locations and cars etc, this thread was only made to derail the recently released GT6 but everyone can agree if the thread title was "king of metacritic 7th gen console racers" no one could debate this but as it's not it is open for debate.

gt6 towers above forza 5 as a driving sim, which is the whole point in games like this

if you want crash and burn go for rivals instead

oh wow, really sour aren't ya

anyway i rather debate the relevance of metacritic and even rating by using a numerical scale instead of :

-utter crap

-not worth your time

-could suprise you at times

-pretty decent

-pretty good

-amazing
