Does it really matter at this point? The outcome is downright pathetic after all the die hard Sony fans stood by them, patiently. It upsets me as a gamer that they would try to insult our intelligence, and they continue to do so with weather delay.

LOL. What can cows say now? 1080p is all that matters anyways, no need for quality gameplay as long as it's 1080p!

Forza Horizon 2 - Metacritic - 86

GS - 8.0 (Reviewer: Kevin VanOrd)

IGN - 9.0 (Reviewer: Luke Reilly)

Drive Club - Metacritic - 70

GS - 5.0 (Reviewer: Kevin VanOrd)

Forza Killer my ass.

Up next, The Order :1886, LOL!

Cows hype thread = A

Lems hype thread = AAA

So who said Forza will be killed by Driveclub ? Some random fanboys ? Come on now ...

Killzone, knack, iss, dc, come on this is Sony's first party games wheres the 40% power the extra 400Flops ,yall should be embarrassed for hyping that game so let me get this correct

DC no real car physics, closed road, no weather patch yet lack content 1080p 30fps still have AA problems and delayed a year

Forza No weather real car physics, closed road, lots of content, 1080p and Locked 60fps, AA problems and its a launch title.

Where did all the power go?

DriveFlop ahoy! :D

Fair review, the driving mechanics work fine (he didn't enjoy the agressive AI + penalizations but that will vary from person to person), the cars and tracks look great it "just" (a big just) needs more "soul". Perhaps DLC will fix that but for now, it seems like a fair review (even when taking others into account as well).

Cmon Desmonic. Flopclub is obviously better. but what about these? Flop Horizon 2 or Forza Flop 2?

Ars seems to treat it with more kindness.

Apparently, it's not for casuals.

Only interest I have in this game is seing how it's going to compare against FH2 on Metacritic ;)

lol, GAF is angry at the reviewers ("what do you mean it's lifeless?!?") when they themselves have barely touched the game. Some of them are doing a point-by-point argument with the reviews, comparing their own 1.5 hour experience to the professional reviewers who have played more racers than them.

except gaff are usually more hardcore than these reviewers and from reading gs review its clear this game is super hardcore which is why most of these reviewers are not enjoying the game. its barebones racing and if u are into that stuff then u will enjoy this game

Or, people are like me and didn't vote in the first place and wanted to see what the overall voting hype was for the game...

I agree with both.

Polls are missing the option to see the current voting without actually voting AND TC (or someone else who had voted) should have taken a screen of the tally at the time of the review. A is in front right now (still makes it a flop as A = 7) but it could have been AA at the time of the review for example.

Pretty lame that they got rid of the "view results" option.

sony being sony again, by promoting statements like this they are only encouraging comparisons between the 2 games even though they are completely different, one is open world and the other is more track racer. but i knew lack of content will **** them up in the end, there just isnt enough there for me to actually pay for the game

But it's not sony that said it. Granted they plastered it on the video.

I get it when a publication says something like that it's hard NOT to put that on a video.

Or a good option would be a timer on Poll or an option for OP to close/lock poll after review.
