Forza is good for features and single player but the physics are always a bit off for me and it’s not very good to play on a wheel.
GT7 has terrible menus and single player but the online is better, physics are way better and it plays really well on a wheel and is well balanced against others who play on controller.
In terms of graphics they both look good but just have different styles. I think the attention to detail in GT is usually a bit better. But that just my opinion/preference.
Assets Corsa Competizone is better than both of these games it’s just not very well optimized on consoles unfortunately.
To answer the question of the article though, No Forza is not the best racing franchise of all time. I think that would have to go to iRacing, rFactor, ACC or Live For Speed. Obviously this is just my opinion though.
Also, why is everyone comparing Forza with Mario kart and Burnout??? Totally different games 😂😂😂
@cburg I think it’s a bit aggressive to say that people that don’t like the game want Xbox to fail. I didn’t overall enjoy my time with it and I love my xbox! Would never want it to fail lol. I know many people that do not hate on xbox but they just didn’t like the game 🤷🏻♂️
It’s all just opinion dude. Like you say there are lots of good Xbox exclusives like halo, Forza, pentiment, AOE 4, SOT, etc.
It sold 10 million copies because people are nostalgic for Spyro. I don’t want to see a new Spyro game nor do I think it would sell very well. New IPs please!!
@Foxx_64740 armored core isn’t an rpg at all, but it’s a great game! Baulders gate 3 is probably what most people are gonna be playing if they want a decent rpg (myself included)
@Foxx_64740 there’s a mod called Starfield made by Bethesda that fixes starfield?!
Seriously though your sarcastic comment is very presumptuous. I love rpgs (especially space rpgs like mass effect) and was obsessed with fallout 3 and 4
@Dsswoosh you talking about Deathloop???? I played it on Ps5 at launch. And on X when It launched on GP. I don’t remember any performance issues at all. Certainly no where near as many problems as starfield. But fair enough if it was running terrible for you!
@EVIL-C I was super hyped after the direct showcase. As soon as I heard what they were doing with review copies I knew it was gonna be a bad game. You can look on Reddit for more honest opinions about the game (purexbox isn’t the most impartial place 😅)
Always find it weird the way you guys and pushsquare don’t tell us what system the game is ACTUALLY coming to. It’s like you’re pretending here that PlayStation doesn’t exist and at pushsquare like Xbox doesn’t exist.
Just something I’ve noticed and think it’s funny 😂
@EVIL-C I would at least wait for the reviewers that didn’t get hand-picked by Bethesda to publish their reviews. Will give you a much better idea of what the game is actually like.
The problem is, so far it’s only out of 50 reviewers. Why? Because ms/BGS hand picked who they wanted to review their game.
It’s technically already below 87 for Xbox on metacritic because the now infamous IGN 7 review isn’t included for some reason. That will bring it to an 85 at least I reckon .
And then when all the reviews from EG and everyone that got left out of the review copies, the meta score will tumble even further.
Ms and BGS basically tried to manufacture a high meta score so that as MANY people as possible would pay for early access.
another reason not to focus on the meta score is the fact that Microsoft/BGS hand picked who they gave review copies to. We will have a much more accurate meta score in a few days when all the media outlets that didn’t get a review copy publish their reviews 👍

Didn’t enjoy starfield doesn’t = I HATE Xbox 😂
Re: Bethesda 'Ready' To Support Starfield For At Least Five Years
Let’s hope they can do a cyberpunk-style 2.0 update because it really needs it
Re: Phil Spencer Reveals Which IP He'd Like To See Revived On Xbox
I’d love to see the “madness” games come back. Specifically Motorcross Madness and Midtown Madness. Loved those games!!!!
Re: Phil Spencer Reveals Which IP He'd Like To See Revived On Xbox
@Lightweight Xbox doesn’t own this IP anymore. Think it’s being revived by Ubisoft

Re: Poll: Have This Week's Xbox Game Pass Releases Lived Up To The Hype?
@themcnoisy most people don’t take 6 weeks to install a game to be fair 😂
I’ve played Heist 3 and Lies of P fairly extensively. Both are pretty meh 🤷🏻♂️

Re: Starfield Has Already Surpassed 10 Million Players
Great news.
Although, is this really surprising when there are 25 million GP subscribers?

Re: Poll: Starfield Explorers, What Do You Think Of Fast Travel So Far?
@EVIL-C yeah but you are missing the point a bit, no? Nms has a fast travel system but you still explore space in a natural way with your spaceship.
Re: Poll: Starfield Explorers, What Do You Think Of Fast Travel So Far?
It’s lame. Very, very, VERY LAME
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (September 4-8)
NBA 2k24 only thing that interests me.
Was gonna play starfield until the nonsense with review copies happened
If it gets a good review from eurogamer or purexbox I might try it.
Re: Review: Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon - A Stellar Slice Of Mech Action That Stays True To The Series' Roots
Game is fantastic! I’m actually amazed how much they stick to their roots with ACVI.
Last Raven will always be my favorite AC game but this comes very, very close!
For anyone that is worried about the difficulty, pick this up in November with FuturePress’s guide book 👍

Re: Starfield's Game Pass Upgrade Is Currently The Best-Selling Item On Xbox
@Kang81 yeah I won’t touch early access for anything. It’s a total mugs game
Re: Starfield's Game Pass Upgrade Is Currently The Best-Selling Item On Xbox
@Kang81 yep they’re doing it with BG3 for consoles as well
Re: Starfield's Game Pass Upgrade Is Currently The Best-Selling Item On Xbox
@Dsswoosh 5 is harsh but ok. Entitled
To your opinion. I dread to think what score you’d give redfall 😂
Re: Starfield's Game Pass Upgrade Is Currently The Best-Selling Item On Xbox
@Dsswoosh “ We both agree that both Redfall and Deathloop were garbage”
No. No we do not agree.
Redfall was an unfinished mess. Deathloop was a polished masterpiece
Re: Starfield's Game Pass Upgrade Is Currently The Best-Selling Item On Xbox
Looks like withholding those review copies to manipulate the metascore worked a treat!!

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think Of Starfield So Far
Game looks really good. I’ll probably avoid for now though. Mostly because of all the weirdness with review copies has left a bad taste in my mouth.
Look forward to purexbox’s review !!
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think Of Starfield So Far
@hypnotoad why chuck the IGN review out? Have you actually watched it?? 😂
Re: PSA: Starfield Streams Will Reportedly Go Live Ahead Of Early Access
@K1LLEGAL o think you misread dude. Chill 👍
Re: PSA: Starfield Streams Will Reportedly Go Live Ahead Of Early Access
As you guys are UK based have they given you a review copy? And will your review be out tomorrow??
