[Smax]

Hey guys, is there a review that compares the game to Dirt Rally? Ever since I played Dirt Rally I find other racing games boring. I am only interested in how it measures against Dirt Rally before I buy.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Wonder how the PC reviews go.

I have it predownloaded on xbox one, have they said when on PC?

EG is waiting for the PC version to release next friday.

 

[vacantseas]

When does the standard version release on PC?

 

[Leflus]

Think it will drop below 90 as more reviews come in.

Either way, it looks like it's going to be a step up from FH1 and 2. Impressive work by Playground.

 

[BleedOrange]

What happened to NPD?

Digital sales are a thing now. Especially on the MS side with Play Anywhere. I'll be going all digital for MS first party from now on.

 

[Theorry]

When does the standard version release on PC?

27th.

 

[Primethius]

I think since NPD has shit the bed SalesGAF has had to find other numbers by which to make sense of the world.

Unrelated note (I'm jumping in without reading the entire conversation here): SalesGAF people are getting more data then ever actually. And the lack of huge threads means less trolls. It's a huge win/win actually.

On topic: Looks good. Can't wait to pick it up.

lmao

This is the best way to deal with the ibtimes review guys. Ignore it or take it for what it is, an absolute joke that obviously does not reflect the quality of the game.

 

[Gurish]

Will probably end up at 88, great scores, best racers are definitely on XB

 

[LordOcidax]

Just avoid this guys...

 

[FelipeMGM]

No wonder Kudo left MS Studios production side...

Think it will drop below 90 as more reviews come in.

Nah, not seeing that many 8's around, my bet is that stays at 90

 

[SensibleSucker]

It's Microsoft's first Xbox One 90 or above Metascore. Took 3 years, like.

Ori and Inside are 90/91 respectively, though Inside is obviously across both platforms now.

I tend to take Opencritic more seriously than Metacritic anyway due to their different algorithm.

Yeah ibtimes has you covered.

 

[Lichter]

Congrats Playground Games, Turn10 and MS Studios!

 

[Septic360]

Quarter to Three troll review incoming don't worry guys. Don't expect that 90 to last.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Ori is not 90, its 88 (which is amazing BTW, best ''indie-like'' from a first party this gen)

 

[Raylan]

Quarter to Three troll review incoming don't every guys. Don't expect that 90 to last.

Already too many 100, 95 and 90. More are coming, imo. I think 90 is safe.

 

[Montresor]

The game is at 90 metacritic. Congrats Microsoft! That's their first 90 metacritic exclusive game this gen!

Inside was 90+ but it was only exclusive for 2 months.

 

[Mahonay]

Game looks absolutely fantastic and likely the best racer of this gen thus far. Bummed I don't have an XB1 or gaming PC to play this on.

 

[Gowans]

EG is waiting for the PC version to release next friday.

SO PC comes out this coming Friday 23rd with the Ultimate access, no pre download?

 

[Rogas]

Forza Horizon 2 had 80 reviews, Horizon 3 has 44 reviews now. Let's see if it can stay at 90.

 

[Impulsor]

Yep I have to agree, I enjoy all his reviews on his channel That I've seen.

Karak makes the most thoughtful and deep reviews in the whole industry. No joke.

I ALWAYS look forward to them because he goes into very deep detail and talks about every aspect of the games he reviews.

So yeah, I really appreciate the work he puts into his reviews, it always shows. Really professional.

 

[Karak]

Figured that was the "day one" patch for people with review copies. HDR was patched in then, right?

That's why I put "done" in quotes, as in the gold version. pre day-one patch

Its been in for a couple days ya.

 

[BleedOrange]

Ori is not 90, its 88 (which is amazing BTW, best ''indie-like'' from a first party this gen)

Ori is also not platform-exclusive. Not that it matters much, the game is mostly associated with Xbox.

 

[EGM1966]

Sounds good. Need to see PC version though before I decide if buy or not. I'm hoping MS will make this a great PC version too.

 

[Theorry]

SO PC comes out this coming Friday 23rd with the Ultimate access, no pre download?

It will have preload. My guess its today as some people are now saying there is something changing with their order atm. So i guess getting preload ready.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

IBTimes UK trying to bring down that meta score, damn them I say!

Anyway, great reviews...will be picking this up Friday.

 

[JayWood2010]

I really get tired of these clickbait reviews. One reason I don't take overall scores too serious anymore. Best thing to do is not click on their review and just ignore it. Its sad it holds the overall score down, but that's what happens when metacritic accepts all these random unheard of sites to be put on their list.

Honestly I think it hurts these sites in the long run, and it doesn't really change perception. People still knows its a great game

 

[DeadOnions]

No but it is an MS game as they published it.

Pretty much the hardest game I've played and not given up on. Amazing.

Dude is reading Gaf confirmed!

And my opinion is that's a shit review that's not based in reality.

 

[CrazE]

Easy to see what sites need some hits.

Good for FH3 with those solid scores. Hard to make a game 3 times and have each one get better.

 

[Xater]

Some of you are way too invested in the metascore of this game. I am just happy it's apparently great and I can't wait to play it. I was already sold after the demo though.

That shows how important controls and loading times are in those games imo.
Everytime i died i never had the feeling the game screwed me but i knew i messed up myself and instant loading helped to keep the trial and error going. Great game.

 

[watdaeff4]

The IB Times review has to be trolling, there's no justifications in the text for such a low score. It's basically No Fun Allowed - The Review.

Looking at the second lowest review (We Got This Covered 7/10), they at least explain what they didn't like, some of it relating to technical issues.



However, they seem to be the only ones talking about such issues.

Yes, that's actually a meaningful review. There is nothing wrong with it.

IB Times? LOL. Just trying to bed "edgy" or has an axe to grind.

Some of you are way too invested in the metascore of this game. I am just happy it's apparently great and I can't wait to play it. I was already sold after the demo though.

Have you not read through the review threads of any major release? Esp the console-exclusive ones? This is tame compared to many.

 

[JayWood2010]

No but it is an MS game as they published it.

Microsoft owns the IP of Ori. Goes beyond publishing

He's probably reading the comments section in his review, there were some really nasty ones lol.

Oh, had no idea it got up on Open, guess it was because of the Definitive Edition

Game is great, and deserves the success it got. Really hope the sequel rumours are true

My review for ACG
Rated a BUY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHrxfqJFM2E

Easy the best Forza Horizon and in my book one it is very close to a full blown classic despite a couple small issues. Its funfactor is through the roof.

Just got around to watching this review. Really good job! You've just gained a subscriber

 

[MilkyJoe]

Metro.co.uk

In Short: The best Forza Horizon so far, and thanks to its huge open world and infectious sense of fun one of the best arcade racers of the current gen.

Pros: A near endless range of events and race types, with a huge open world full of interesting details. Great graphics and fun handling model.

Cons: Drivatars can still be too erratic, especially off-road. Festival motif can be a bit obnoxious.

Score: 9/10

[Gurish]

It won't stay at 90, it's very hard in any genre these days, but what was the last racer to score 90+? Seems almost impossible in this genre this gen.

 

[DirtyLarry]

Here is the only review that matters to me...

"I enjoy the shit out of playing this game and have always enjoyed the series."

[SillySinStorm]

2/5 from our reviewer, says it feels like Playground Games is getting bored of making racing games

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/forza-hori...s-drifts-off-wheel-xboxs-latest-racer-1582149

I have no words. And i'm not clicking to read that review either. Jesus Christ....

 

[viHuGi]

The game is at 90 metacritic. Congrats Microsoft! That's their first 90 metacritic exclusive game this gen!

Inside was 90+ but it was only exclusive for 2 months.

Gears of War 4 can make that 90 also, Xbox One coming back to mimic 360 old days wich is fantastic! Forza Horizon has always been one of my favorite racers, bought the first and loved it, along with DriveClub those franchises are just all i need for racing, too bad one is never coming back.

Kudos to Microsoft for having such a powerhouse racing franchise.

Well, someone has to be the first I guess right?
