from amazon: (Verified Purchase only comments)

"Money grab by Turn 10. Graphics are better, but gameplay and car tuning are significant steps backwards. It feels more like the Porsche and NASCAR expansion packs than a full on (and full price) new releases such as:
Many "in-game" items are hidden and unavailable unless you spend in-game $ to buy loot crates. For example, I spent $300,000 to "win" a $200,000 car.
Night races (especially Spa and Le Mans) are darn near unplayable because you can't even see the track.
You can't upgrade cars without taking them "out of homologulation" which won't allow you to race them in their designed classes."


"An easy 4 stars as a racing game but against previous installments this is not up to par. No real improvement in graphics. Nice to have Maple Valley back but tracks are lacking. Call me crazy but I have always loved the music in Forza but this is unbearable. Lame rock song that has no sound or melody that plays over and over again. Sorry to say the first Forza title I wish I had not purchased."

 

"Let me start off by saying I have been hyped for this game for quite a while and, being a pretty loyal Forza fan, I was really looking forward to playing this game. Absolutely loved Forza 2 and was happy with but not overly attached to Forza 6 and horizons 3. I'm not a avid video gamer, but I AM a avid Motörhead. And to say I'm done paying for Forza Games is an Understatement. I am absolutely dumbfounded at how this game has passed as "new" or "better". It is literally Forza 6, with the cartoon aspect type graphics of Horizons, and the glitchyness and sound quality of the original Xbox. Without even getting through the opening races, the game crashed out 5 times. Im not even sure what to say about that. Fluke? Brand new game? Still loading at 98%? I'm not sure but I can't remember a game recently that has done that to me under the same circumstances."

 

Not everyone is happy with this Forza.

i think GT Sport user reviews will be just as bad. Lots of disappointment around that it doesn't have a proper career mode, and I don't think a lot of people buying the game will realise that until purchase

Middle-earth : Shadow of war, Marketing deal with Xbox...... still sells better on PS4.
#9th vs #24th.

Thats gotta suck..... maybe MS do a bundle?

Don't they already have an assassins creed bundle? Anyway, using Amazon for tracking software isn't proven to be as reliable as it is with hardware, though I wouldn't be surprised if it sold more on the PS4 anyway.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Amazon is a nice place to buy stuff and all but they sometimes get on my nerves with their random "exclusively for prime members" BS.
I'm talking about Amazon stores in Europe, I don't know if the same goes on Amazon US as I never purchase stuff there. I tried a couple times but it would tell me I cannot purchase from outside the US or something so I don't.
Anyway when I see something I care about, like games, I usually wait for the price to go down which can take weeks or even months, not sure how they do their pricing cause it seems to randomly go up and down all the time.
Anyway the point is sometimes the price becomes really interesting and suddenly, out of nowhere the item is blocked and only purchasable if you're a prime member which is annoying because it's an artificial hurdle to get you to sign into prime membership which I will not do no matter what. The only positive is that just as randomly as that block appeared it suddenly goes away a few days later and the item can then be purchased by everyone again.

They already announced 500GB and 1TB bundles but Amazon doesn't seem to have them.

That's happened before. I'm not saying it is the case, but I can't help wondering whether Amazon is refusing to take certain bundles from MS now because of how badly they managed the ridiculous amount of bundles they had last year.

Is kero around tracking Forza 7?

All new bundles are exclusive to certain retailers.

Assassin's Creed: Origins is only at Amazon, Target, and MS Store
Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels bundle is only at Amazon, Best Buy, and MS Store
Middle Earth: Shadow of War is only at GameStop and MS Store
Minecraft Limited bundle is only at Target and MS Store



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287
