I've spent an absurd amount of time in Forza games over the years (particularly FM4, the obvious peak in the series) and I'd still agree with a 3 star review. Not because of the lootboxes, the irritiations around car tiers, mods, drivatars or anything like that. Just because of the 'divisions' and how they ruin the progression and flexibility of the game.
There's a whooooole lot of other things I don't like about the game but the division system is an absolute killer. It's up there with removing car clubs in the move from FM4 to 5 in terms of making it feel like the developers are just not playing the game.
I feel like the word o objectivity constantly gets used in place of what people really mean here. Listen, I'm perfectly fine with this review and Jeff reviewing it, but I honestly can't see why a few here have issues comprehending some actual critique towards the GB staff on this one.
You're obviously not 'fine' with this review though, because you just wrote a huge thing about how Jeff's review is wrong?
Reviews are opinions; this review is a reflection of Jeff's experience with the game. Your mutterings on how he's the wrong person to review are bananas.
Yea, on a PC you'd need a Fury X or a Geforce 980. Seems unlikely they'll be able to pack that in for $400 even a year from now.
Either impossible or being sold at a huge loss per console, which Sony aren't going to do.
I really don't see it. Maybe a repackaged PS4 with the VR parts integrated rather than an external box, but an actual legitimate hardware upgrade? What's in it for Sony?
Unless there's some sort of twist later, this seems weird and kinda lazy.
The 2nd area has vampires as enemies (I don't think that's a spoiler that matters, but whatever). Beyond that there's some 'cassettes' to collect with backstory but I'm not convinced there's any payoff.
From reviews on Steam it looks like people are only talking positively about the gameplay.
Well with all the good reviews i was expecting a little more from this game, but it just kinda a looks like another "one of those games" without much added. I was expecting cool ass powers and monsters to fight or something
Yeah. Played an hour, finished the first set of levels, not really sure about the progression.
The fact that the first hour of this episode features both an extended conversation about how Harrison Ford gets his weed and a super illuminating, smart discussion about That Dragon, Cancer is exactly why this is my favorite podcast.
Same, at least for game-related pods. I listened to this ep almost directly after listening to last week's Bombcast and... it's a real contrast. Maybe it's just the tighter format? Something about the pacing or the apparent lack of interest on the Bombcast really irritates me sometimes
