I'll be honest, I have no desire to shit on GT6 and I look forward to playing it. I already have it on hold at Redbox...

Forza owned the 7th gen for racing. It owned it!


They are both 81 on metacritic, Gt6 has way more content and is a better sim. Massive thread backfire.

Hes comparing Forza 3 and 4 to GT 5 and 6. We can stay here and argue the merits of each IP but critically, he is right.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Well, I for one find it incredibly difficult to argue against the facts put forward by Metacritic.

Can we have a sales comparison?

Well depends on the goalpost I guess, sales wise it's no contest, so depends on the criteria.

lol you'd like that. We all know how that would end but I would link that to a meh movie that did amazing in the box office because it had great marketing and a fan following. Movie Green Lanturn comes to mind lol. 

Metacritic is just a number, they do give you access to every review. While it would be silly to read every one, even just a few fro your favite sites should give you a fair idea of why the number is what it is.

And GT5 outsold both combined so why really won? metacritic is a broken useless metric imo. Different games reviewed different times by different reviewers, with some arbitrary number score.....  Sorry if I don't put much stock into it.

That wouldnt fit the agenda as gt5 has out sold 3 and 4 combined. with  gt6 the two combined  will out sell the whole forza franchise..  ther is no competition, the players gave have spoken.

Totally disagree:

On top of that a game may geta  mlower score but still be betetr overall, it could mean it has some consistency issues, but when it's at its best it is an amazing experience. The meta for both games are close over all, what sperates a few points difference? Hardly means anything.

 

Like I said, play GT online virtually all complaints vanish, and you are left with the best driving experience on console.

lol ok. We got it. GT sells very well. Doesn't make it necessarily the better one though. That you can't even consider that possibility amuses me.

Like saying Call of Duty is better then Battlefield because of sales alone. Try saying that in a FPS thread and not get laughed out of it. lol
