Nice! 9.5
Pretty much my thought too at this point, I'm not even bothered by the loot system, I'm having way too much fun to just race and upgrade my cars. Didn't think I would like it nearly this much. I just wish it had more old classics and Saabs. My favorite car so far is the Volvo Amazon, upgraded to max. The VW Beetle is crazy fun too when maxed out.
I used up almost all my "adult time" playing Cuphead and some Ruiner this past week. I'm deciding how much sleep I'm planning to give up tomorrow for Forza.

I have a work project to finish off which I might do an all nigher for tonight, have a nap then I'll be able to sit down and dig into this for a good few hours tomorrow.

The fact he thinks this is more realistic than AC or PCARS makes him lose his credibility. I've also only heard bad things about DiRT 4.

I'm surprised some folks are shocked. I thought the demo was really good. I'd say the game is getting the reviews it deserves.

funny reading xD
If you've heard nothing but bad things about Dirt 4, that means you haven't played it and probably need a broader circle of influence.

Dirt Rally is the great game, Dirt 4 is poor in comparison.
That, or they played the much better Dirt Rally.

Getting this when I pick up my One X.
Damn fine scores. I'm drooling a little.

I get what you're saying, but I never said a word about it being better than Dirt Rally. From some playtime myself and even just looking at review consensus, Dirt 4 was solid. Reviews were overwhelmingly "in the green" out of 40+ takes.
If secondhand impressions of a game tracking in the 80s by metascore is "nothing but bad things," I'm serious that it's a weirdly slanted viewpoint.

I've played and loved DiRT Rally. I trust the opinions of certain people here on GAF and gtplanet and they were all disappointed.

Nope. Although I don't think I've played a bad AAA racing game aside from NFS 2015 lately.
I remember he gave Forza 6 a 3/5, so that's some turnaround.
"Its taken 12 years and seven attempts, but Forza Motorsport has now firmly set the bar by which all other racing games will be judged. As well as creating a graphical showcase for not just the forthcoming Xbox One X but the standard Xbox One itself, Turn 10 Studios has also produced a game that rights the few wrongs of the last game and truly focuses on the player experience. The result is supreme.""
Seems GamesRadar's fell in love with the game.

Nice, scores are pretty high.

I'm very lucky, I haven't had any issues whatsoever. It's been smooth sailing for me since I got it on Friday.
Which is actually extremely surprising to me because I'm on the very latest Windows 10 Insider Preview build.

Regarding the difficulty and racing.
I don't know, I have been playing this game all weekend and it seems like on the short races I was pretty much beating everyone. I am playing on above-average aggression limit turned OFF and long races which is about 7 to 10 laps.
I have found for some reason, I don't know if it's the distance or the aggression, but I have really had to work to even be in the last five or six races. I don't think I would play a few races and decide that this difficulty and AI is the same as past for as. it definitely seems improved to me.
F6 to me was one of the worst, you either had one car way out in front that you could never catch or you would go past the field and be gone for the rest of the race.
What I'm seeing here, my last race as an example is I got past places 9 and 8 and was working hard to try to catch up to 6 but eight and nine stayed with me for about 3 laps straight, passing each other, passing me, cutting me off on the corners and fighting me until I calmed down and tightened up my lines and slowly pulled away from them over the next couple of laps. finally catching up to the front group on the last lap and still was never able to pass them.
So I think we won't know until we've played a while and it really depends on each person's difficulty level and tuning of their car of course but I am finding it challenging. More challenging than the past and more fun.

My review (in Chinese of course), 8/10
I thoroughly enjoy the reworked career, the handling is great, it looks fantastic, but the amount of random, unsolvable crashes on PC really soured my experience, I'm willing to change it to a 9 if these tech issues are ironed out quickly, but after Forza Horizon 3 you'd expect them to learn.

That both sucks and sounds totally legit.

Any word on when auctionhouse or marketplace are releasing?

Doesn't any review mention the shitty AI or is that a problem existing to gaf only?
I believe ACG talked about the AI being overly aggressive.
Karak

Ya I talked about it a good deal. It was one of the things that bothered me. I did change my style of racing a bit and it calmed down, but that Drivatar setting didn't seem to do much compared to me being ultra careful.

Only because people were criticizing forza's physics and some of the default handholding features including driving lines, rewind etc...for a sim racer. Have no doubt, this franchise has always been seen as a sim....So there's no reason for anyone to rewrite history just because people had some issues with the direction of the franchise as it relates to it's physics and target demographic.but people are saying it is not a simulator?
Where are the reviews though, this is the slowest reviewed game I've seen in a minute.....

Eurogamer mentioned it as has Karak (see above).
It will never be fixed as long as people continue to turn a blind eye to it. Good thing we have rewind though right guys so you can simply reverse the obnoxious AI ramming you into a wall and damaging the fuck out of your car!

US Gamer called out the MT's too in their review yesterday.
US Gamer - 8/10
Gamespot has posted their review too.

There's a lot of reviews missing from the OP here. There's 41 reviews now on opencritic, seems normal for around release day (yesterday).

Glad this game is getting amazing reviews. I wonder what changes Playground games will make to the forza engine for FH4.
Forza 5 introduced the unlock tokens. I'm sure it's disheartening for the devs to have to put that sort of shit into their games to squeeze more revenue out instead of focusing on actual features. But it is what it is. Those f2p hooks don't belong in retail games and should be called out.

Already 88, lootboxgate and vipgate could not go unnoticed =)
Which is so stupid. You dont have to use any of those things. Its Not like you are forced to use any of this. Shouldnt Impact Score at All.
Oh, don't be fooled... he's only arguing for it to be classified as a sim, so he can say that it fails as one.
Was posting in another thread that he never thought Forza Motorsport felt any more realistic than Project Gotham Racing 1.

This game shouldn't reviews as good as it is, I hoped more reviewer would deducte points from all that loot and MT crap I was just reading about the VIP scam too.
I don't own Xbox or care about Forza but this kind of bs business practice may affect us all if other pubs saw it was successful and got a pass by both media and players, they would implement it and even go further.
Disappointed 😞

And 79 on PC, bad performance / micro stutter also did not go unnoticed.
