Title: Forza Horizon 4: bet on the metacritic 92 (81 reviews) 92 oc (79 reviews)
Post by: Legend on Sep 23, 2018, 04:19 PM
Reviews: Forza Horizon 4 for Xbox One Reviews - Metacritic (https://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-one/forza-horizon-4)
OpenCritic - The top critics in gaming. All in one place. (https://opencritic.com/game/1573/forza-horizon-4)




Same rules as the GOW thread. (http://vizioneck.com/forum/index.php?topic=6155.0) Give a high, medium, and low prediction.

IE you expect it to get a 95 so you set that as your middle. Then you set 97 as your high because you don't think the game has a good chance of scoring above that. Then you set 88 as your low because you don't expect the game to score lower than that.

RESULTS WILL NOW BE SCORED SO THAT AN OVERALL WINNER CAN BE DETERMINED AT THE END OF THE YEAR. IF YOU HAVE THE CLOSEST PREDICTION, YOU EARN POINTS: SCORE +=100-(high prediction-low prediction)*2. IF THE FINAL MC FALLS OUTSIDE YOUR HIGH AND LOW PREDICTIONS, YOU LOSE POINTS: SCORE -=50.

Review embargo ends when the countdown ends. Feel free to post predictions and edit them up till that time.

Ludicrous Speed and Kerotan failed so they each lose. -25 points
Legend, Xevross, Dr. Pezus, the-Pi-guy, and Kerotan all were within 5 points of the mc, so they each gain +25 points

High: 93
Mid: 91
Low: 89

Feel like it really could manage that 92-93+ but I'm not willing to predict it. I'm super hyped though, I'll be happy with anything sort of 87+

High: 92

Low: 86

I like how if someone were to put 0 and 100, they'd lose 100 points.

Will be funny if there ever is a super hard to predict game and someone wants a range greater than 50.

High: 94
Mid: 92
Low: 87

Every FH has scored better than the last. Maybe this one will continue that trend.

Debating between UE or GamePass.

Glad I resisted the urge to buy GTS the last couple weeks since I bought a Pro.

I bought UE more for the early access than the content. I wanna be finished with it and ready for AC next week!

They're very different games to be fair.

Don't the seasons only change once per week? Doesn't seem possible to finish in a week. I'm hoping to be decently through it before Red Dead comes out. The Roman setting of dog Creed is very intriguing but I haven't played one since 3.

To me a racer is a racer. There haven't been many good ones this gen outside of Forza imho.

I guess for less exciting games we can use these threads as the review threads too.

Woohoo it continues the trend of scoring better than the last. I might win!

You get to play for 6-8 hours in like a baby mode where the seasons change frequently. Also the first hour is a kind of tutorial where you get a taste of all seasons. I'm gonna be coming back to it but I wanna be mostly done before AC.

Nah racers vary so much with their driving style. The Crew 2 for example is god awful to play while FH is fantastic, they take different approaches to arcade racing.

I'm the opposite to you. I'm happy to wait a few weeks and get these games half price on sale. Battlefront 2 last year waited a few weeks and got it on sale for only 35. Spiderman this year I'll get it in the November or December sale. Red dead the same. So many games to play it's throwing money away buying them all at full price at launch.

Yeah they can play wildly different. What I meant is if I have an itch to play a racer I'm good with a sim or an arcade and I wouldn't really play two at once so it's better that I waited.

I even downloaded OnRush from GamePass just to do some racing  :-\

Well the reason I'm doing this is so I'm ready to play lots of Blops 4 at launch, because launch is the best period for COD. But yes, I don't have much patience and most big games I buy on launch week.

I usually don't like racers which are too arcadey, or too much of a sim, which is why I'm happy when something like Forza, Driveclub or GT comes out.

Yeah I'm doing the same thing you are now. I'm waiting for super deals on games and buying them, I do that for games that I wouldn't have most likely bought like the division or Wolfenstein, and buying them for really cheap prices. Or I'll wait for games I want to drop in price like I'm waiting for GoW. I'm just playing more games this way and paying a lot less.

Only games that I will get at launch seem to be cyberpunk 2077, and maybe red dead (I'm hyped for this) and TLoU2.

Yeah more games for less money. Having a backlog of games you actually intend to play is very good because i feel no need to buy titles at launch.

Steam is the worst with this. I don't have any physical games in my backlog, but oh my gosh has my steam backlog been growing.

I feel sorry for all those people growing their pc backlog to the point they'll never play 90% of the games on it. That's even worse throwing away of money. My backlog is about 10 games bigger then it should be on ps4 atm and I'm pissed for letting it get that big.

For example i bought shadow of murder for 30€ on sale but still haven't played it. It's been on sale for under €10 since so i wasted €20 buying it. If it ends up on ps plus I've wasted €30. And ps plus is the problem. I can't keep up with all the free games I get with that so it makes it very hard to cut down the backlog especially when i play 4 or 5 games regularly online.

My backlog of games outside free ones:

The Turing Test
Undertale
Her Story
Riven

(I might be forgetting one, but those are the games I have tracked in my profile)
