Jesus..........

 

[SmartWaffles]

Since we got our review copy late this is a review in progress and will be later updated with impressions on late game, PC port and final score.

It is in Chinese, by the way.

But our tentative score is 9/10

Pros:

-Gorgeous Australian visuals
-An Xbox One technical marvel
-Sensational racing
-Packed with content
-Attention to Detail
-Great Chinese localization

Cons:

-None, I can't find any yet!

But awell opinion is a opinion.

 

[CaVaYeRo]

Mine is 9/10, with a good bunch of 'buts' if you come from playing a lot of FH2:

http://www.gamereactor.es/analisis/331203/Forza+Horizon+3/

(Spanish). Still, best open world racer by far, far, and must-have for Xbox and PC newcomers. Ask if in doubt. Too bad they don't add some more love to racing wheel users :/

 

[RawNuts]

I'm just here for the footage.

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Unfortunately the PC review build is not yet available, so it'll just be Xbox One reviews.

Yeah, I we were told we could get access to the PC version, but even as of now it's not available ;(

with titles like DiRT Rally rediscovering the fundamental, basic thrills of racing simulations, Horizon 3 feels tired.

I can't even take him seriously right now.

I haven't played the game past the demo, but that's a real standout from the other scores so far.

The game is desperate to keep you satisfied; it's insecure. Complete a race and it will shower you with points and money. Almost every half an hour, you're awarded a free car, and it's usually something high end like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari.

Is this a bad thing? Lol

Massive, full and with a list of things to do which borders upon incessant, Forza Horizon 3 is a driving game both without direction and made by a studio seemingly – understandably – bored with cars. It isn't wholly different or worse than its predecessors, but after four years of these games, and with titles like DiRT Rally rediscovering the fundamental, basic thrills of racing simulations, Horizon 3 feels tired.

control + f dirt rally = 3 matches. sorry it wasnt dirt rally?

 

[danowat]

I can't even take him seriously right now.

I am usually quite forgiving with stuff like this, different opinions and all that, but they are way off the mark.

Gamespot 9/10

This is so off the mark that it isn't even funny.. It probably adds more new mechanics than any Forza game before it.

My man! Same deal, I really couldn't find anything wrong with it.

 

[Inuhanyou]

The game looks nice. I wish the ps4 had its equivalent.

Sony canned Evolution. No Motorstorm equivalent available :/ The most we could hope for is a remaster

 

[xviper]

really excited for this, hopefully it's better than FH 2( which was already perfection)

expecting 83-88 MC

[SomedayTheFire]

i love how weird these threads get when there's one bad score.

 

[xzeldax3]

I'm eager to hear how the PC version is. Too bad it wasn't ready for review.

 

[SmartWaffles]

I am usually quite forgiving with stuff like this, different opinions and all that, but they are way off the mark.

I wonder whether he even played any of the Horizon games before, or whether he likes over the top fun or not.

 

[Drewfonse]

Can someone who has reviewed the game comment on the ratio of road races vs offroad? I much prefer the road races, especially in supercars. Thanks!

Hope you get all the clicks you are going for...

This is ridiculous

 

[Peru]

I'm pretty sure I'll dig this game, but as always, please don't jump on any reviewer who thinks otherwise. The ibtimes review seems fair enough. Not everyone has to love this. And yes, just _having_ to point out that one negative review counts as jumping on it.

Like clockwork the poster above me goes for the 'attention' accusation. THAT is ridiculous.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Playing the demo this game made me want a new Motorstorm

I think it's more like this guy just dislikes any racing game which isn't DiRT Rally.

He doesn't even give any points to why his opinion is that way! Has he just been dumped or something?

 

[Samurai G0SU]

That launch trailer was bizness too!

 

[Servbot24]

Is this a bad thing? Lol

Hard to say since presumably none of us have played it, but I could see where that could be bad. If you're constantly given high end rewards, they stop feeling special.

 

[gossi]

It's okay not to like a game, guys. It would be boring if we all loved No Man's Sky.

 

[Eggiem]

Nice reviews, but I cant spend 70€ on the PC version.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Playing the demo this game made me want a new Motorstorm

: (

Well you can play a new Forza Horizon game which is even better.

 

[RichGS]

2/5 review from IBT UK is a joke.

 

[Forerunner]

Damn, these are so good ass scores. This is my first Forza in a long time (I think I bought the first two and that's it) so I'm excited.

 

[user_nat]

Hard to say since presumably none of us have played it, but I could see where that could be bad. If you're constantly given high end rewards, they stop feeling special.

Forza 5 copped a beating for making high end harder to reach. Seems this is an area where it is hard to please everyone.

 

[Blastoise]

straya cunt

 

[Hoo-doo]

Excellent scores. Looking forward to playing this at 60FPS on PC.

And like clockwork the posts of 'hurr durr just looking for clicks' have arrived. Christ. Let the guy have his opinion and stop looking solely at the score.

 

[Theorry]

Congrats Playground.

 

[Patrick Young]

I need some PC reviews... and where's the PC preload?! There's only 49 hours left!

91 Metascore at the moment.

But currently only 8 reviews

 

[SpideySenses]

Disappointed in the scores, can't believe this is zero Dirt Rallys out of Dirt Rally, the only important scoring metric.

 

[Zalman]

I figured this would be a good place to ask... I've never played Forza. Is it very online/community heavy? I'm looking for a single-player focused game with missions, races etc.
