Forums - Gaming - Update: GT6(81)>Forza 5(80) GT definite racing game according to metacritic

JayWood2010 said:

So was forza the definitive racer for the last generation? Or now does metacritic matter all the sudden when GT can beat an an unfinished forza by one point?

Really why are these threads still popping up? Who cares, play the game you like and stop the penis wars.  Nobody would care if these games were multiplat.*Looks at Need for Speed*

If you're going to complain about these "penis wars", don't contribute to them in the same comment.

I can't believe it. With all that cloud computing talk, 600% more this and that, next gen hype hype hype and it couldn't even outscore a last gen title on outdated hardware. Plus the loopholes and excuses never seem to end. Oh FZ still is the best last gen or Forza 5 is incomplete. Is it GT's fault that Turn 10 made an incomplete product? Nope, that's on Turn 10. They dropped the ball and the reviews show it. Now Forza is losing in sales and reviews. Microsoft better start that annual bundling process again or it's going to be a very bumpy ride for Forza this gen.

Its not loosing any sales its attachment ratio is miles better then GT6 which is loosing a lot of sales.

GT7 first week >> Forza 5 LT sales

Sure since GT7 will not launch anytime soon that is a pretty safe bet.

Polypony claimed over twitter that they are aiming to launch it next year.

god willing.

They can still update gt6 for the PS3 users while Gt7 is out, GT5 got some seasonal events after Gt6 dropped.



Maybe you guys are right. Maybe Forza 5 truly does suck. I don't yet have an Xbox One, so I can't yet be the judge.

Just tell me this. After spending so much time playing Forza Motorsport 4, is it even possible for me to go back to the Gran Turismo franchise? I don't relish the idea of using cars and racing on tracks that have (for the most part) been copied and pasted from Gran Turismo 4, a game that was released nearly a decade ago on a significantly less powerful console. And no car damage?

There is car damage. But while we are on the topic its horrid in both games. Forza being worst cosider how unrealistic it really is. And those tracks that your complaining about.  Are more accurate than tracks found in any forza game. And the premium car in gt still out number the total cars in forzas.  You can play gt6 with out ever stepping foot in a standard car. Its nice that they are there.  But youdont need to use them. Yet youll defend the rewind function in forza? Same deal.

The car damage in F5 is pure BS, i crashed a car in real life.  Crash F5 at 100mph and it look like some one stomped on the front end a few times.  I will not consider damage an advantge untill its real and legit not the fake damage Forza currently has.  After 10 hours of F5 gaming the damage in no way makes or breaks the game.  Yahh its there but its mostly irrelevent to me.

"There are seven new tracks in GT6, each with a unique personality and photorealistic looks. It might be the lack of flora in the area, but Willow Springs is nearly indiscernible from reality"  not my opinion but of road and track, people that actually dive the tracks and opinion actually matters.  So do explain exactly what track looks so awefull, dont make such a general statement any one with GT6 can easily call bs on.

The LaFerrai is not on the disc its in the first DLC car pack just like with previous Forza games the DLC cars show up in the show room but you can only buy them if you download the car packs.  Or in GT5 the 1966 VW Beetle is in the car dealership but you have to buy the car pack to buy it.


DLC a week after realese.  YAhh not a cash grab.

Laferrari is there in my game, so are a few other i cant access its not just a one of its kind.  It hasent even been out a month yet so much you got to pay extra for, this is pure BS.

GT6 hasent had a single thing cost extra yet, stop defending the scum behind F5 be it TT or MS.  Actions like this are not ok, release 1/4 of a game and have people pay extra right of the bat.  

Actually the LaFerrari car pack was a day one DLC car pack and its nothing new both Forza 4 and Forza Horzion launched with day one DLC car packs.  Plus there are plenty of other games that launch with day one DLC and there will be a lot more in the future.  GT6 might not have any DLC yet but it will have some in the near future but since its off to a very slow start sales with I doubt they will be as ambitious as they planned to be in regards to DLC.  Also Forza 5 is not 1/4 of the game.  GT5:Prolouge was less then 1/10 of the game then GT5 is and it still was almost priced at full retail cost at $39.99 yet I didn't hear a lot of people bitch about that one.

I'm using metacritic and my own personal experience the three games I metioned are miles better and in the case of Burnout and Horzion more fun then both GT5 and GT6.  Forza 4 is highest rated sim racer.  Burnout Paradise is the highest rated open world arcade racer and Horzion is the highest rated spin off racer.  Also Wipeout shouldn't be in the equation its not a real racing game since it doen't feature cars the only game you can compare it to is the F-Zero games and the highest rated game in that genre is F-Zero GX on the Gamecube which is a 89/100 on metascore.

You logic is flawed. Because reviewers score the games differently, it depends of the games currently released and played.

GT6 is a better game on all accounts than GT5 but scored lower. If you want to follow completely you logic, then I will tell you that GT3 is better than Forza 4 because it scored 95/100 at metacritic. Is GT3 better than Forza 4? Well I don't think so.

That's why we can only compare currently released games (in the same year or so) between them. So GT6 vs Forza 5. To make an opinion about a game it is also always interesting to compare user scores which in the case of Forza 5 are atrocious.

If 80/100 is considerd atrocious I'm pretty sure most companys would love to release atrocious content be that movies, music or games.



I highly doubt they can deliver on that unless they double their staff asap.
