Lol, we can all see right through your fanboy bullsh*t... don't act like you're being all serious.

And having a quick look at you cows' favourite website, Metacritic, I see that Forza Horizon 4 has a higher overall score than cow/industry favourites like Spiderman & Horizon Zero Dawn, and neck and neck with industry darlings God of War & Uncharted 4. So not doing too badly.

And the best is yet to come.

I mean, if we're being honest though, most of the perfect scores on Metacritic came from Xbox fan sites. Don't you want a game that the whole industry can say is great instead of getting boosted by the usual suspects? Spider-Man was enjoyed by the masses, while FH4 appeals to an extremely limited crowd. There's nothing with FH4 that can WOW anyone, due to the confining nature of racing gameplay. Yes, you can take a car offroad, but in the end, it's still a car.

Do you not think Xbox deserves a better caliber title than that? So you guys don't look at year end lists feeling left out and salty?

@Pedro:

As an aside, not a game of the year winner, but my favorite xbox game was Blinx the Time Sweeper. It's better than any Sony platformer ever made IMHO and one of the best platforming games ever made.

If any game MS produced should have won a GOTY award I think it should have been that game.

The most imaginative, fresh and original game that ever came from Microsoft game studios. Probably the only 3D platformer I've genially loved but this was an original xbox title when MS was all in on producing new original games for the system.

If you've never played it, you should try it.

I don't really care for GOTY titles. I just play games and rate it on my preferences. I preface this to say that Blinx was OK, it just felt a bit clunky and I was playing it I believe last year with BC. It is still a pretty solid game. I would have picked Jet Set Radio Future over this game. But now that you mentioned it I may just give it another go. :)

Do that!

Also, Jet Set Radio is Sega Studios game not Microsoft, Sega just generously loaned that to their platform after Sony ran them out the console business (main reason why I jumped to xbox before even touching a Sony system).

I know its Sega. I wasn't thinking in context of exclusives (never really do) my bad for losing track of the context.

@hrt_rulz01: Racing games don't count as real "Games" to them since they are lucky to get 2 for the whole gen and they flop lately.

God of War has like what 13 iterations, Uncharted like what 6-7 maybe more? (If we are counting Vita too) Also how many GT's 13? Talk about milking franchises!

And Xbox is all Halo/Gears /Forza? Take a hike. You wanted them to get new ip they have 14 studios and counting! Sorry Your team is skipping the big dance because they have nothing to show, but you really need to get that sand out your vagina.

I believe that Gears 5 will be nominated for GOTY in 2019.

So instead of answering the OP's question lemmings in here are attacking him with childish 4th grade insults?

He really got under you guys' skin. What bunch of salty crybabies.

lol lemmings are so easily triggered. OP did a good job shaking the nest of xbox fannies
