@StylesT Agree, Forza have a nicer feeling while driving and unlike GT7 it feels when you hit another car. In GT7 I do not feel if a CPU driver touch my car!
Really a joy to see and play. Yakuza have never looked better and the story hooked me almost immediately. And there is a trial of Infinite Wealth included in the game.
Forza Motorsport are not what GT7 is for Playstation. Forza Horizon is the big racing game for Xbox, not Motorsport. Despite being different beasts. PS has no other huge first party racer then GT7. Motorsport has the better racing and realism, but GT7 has way more diverse content. Motorsport is lacking severe in that department.
They have a different approach! GT 7 is a moving art gallery and FM more down to earth and dirty. Gameplay wise I prefer FM, feels way more realistic and I love the granular dialing in of the difficulty and choosing starting position. Also the cars in GT 7 may seem to avoid you and not hit you, but it is an illusion. You just simply do not feel those small hits and even barely a full crash on another car. In FM you feel every contact and crash really feels and is very visual on the cars.
Love the Photo part of GT 7 though, with a huge number of locations to photograph in. And the Cafe menu is cozy.
@iplaygamesnstuff If you feel like that then play something else! You will probably hate Forza anyway. I have had no issues with the AI so far. Offline play outside of Switch is soon very rare. But sure GT sport, F18 and Drive club has it. I think Forza Motorsport is a really solid racing game that look gorgeous and handles amazing. And looks very true to reality most of the time. The Crew Motorfest is very colorful and has load of contrast.
Tried it yesterday! The tutorial was riddled with braindead police enemies, aiming was way harder then it should. And it does not look that great even. Enough for me to stop playing it and uninstall.
@tallythwack Sorry, but thx to the battery compartment we always had the option to use rechargeable batteries, batteries or battery pack. And if there is one thing that sucks with PS5-controller, it is the battery... it needs to be charged way to often.
@Markatron84 It´s a very good physics based brawler. Containing loads to do and beautiful graphics. It was delayed and people loved the demo for som years ago. Also was in The Top 3 most wished games on Steam for a very long time.
I have a good time. Takes some time grasp the games possibilities cause there is so much options. And you really build your legacy from almost Scratch, but it is rewarding and the game offer so much if you some patience!
So true. Takes forever to blast it with missiles. Serve as a decent skill check (in typical FromSoftware-style), cause if you do not use tactics and the moves you have to your disposal you're dead meat.
I was not up to snuff the first times I tried... But when I learned that melee was key I downed it in 3 minutes. Took many tries to reach that.. (my first AC-game). Felt so good!
The Dev that complained and assumed it has to do with overworking and or not caring is acting like a idiot. He certainly made himself look bad and uninformed. Bad "career move"!!
Good game, played som hours. Very much a "Horizon-like". Looks decent, but not as good as FH5. Handling is very arcade, with some tweaks it feels good. Will buy on sale! I would have love a The Crew more like the first game with a decent story
Honestly the only cloud streaming service for games worthy of mention is GeForce Now Ultimate. It is amazing with 4K 144 hz streaming with way lower latency then consolses. If they weren't so thin on major titles it would be the best game streaming by far.

74 on Metacritic is very decent for this type of game!
