Why don't you do some research and what the real reviews looked like?

My only comment to this entire thread:
I have both Forza and GT4. I personally prefer Forza, but both are great games.
Anyone that says one blows the other out of the water is just being silly. We all may prefer one game over the other, as each has it's respective strength and weaknesses, but both games are great in their own ways. End of story.

And speaking as a mod, MSZ really needs to mellow out...

not bashing at all. The fact remains that damage is a nice feature but when it comes down to it...not important. Competitive races in Gt4 will punish drivers who can't drive. Forget driving into walls....just running into the grass etc., will kill times.

Anway, I was compelled to participate when someone says something that is incorrect.
When you got up said...
...I had to correct you with the facts. Don't take it as a personal attack because it's not. You said you played the game but you must not have played it in Career Mode to have seen that there is indeed a reason why damage does play a role in the overall gameplay.
Bash Forza all you want, but make sure you bash it with accurate information.

Downright scared. It is a procrastination machine.ok so - how many approx. hours have you and others logged playing Forza online? Why isn't anyone setting up races against each other here? If GT4 had online mode there would be a rampant online competition thread going on right here. Similar to SOCOM or Halo threads... What's the deal? Why aren't you guys organizing any online competitions against each other here? Just curious. Very curious.

Forza fans can enjoy their game all they want, we didn't cross the line like they did.
I am done with all Forza vs GT4 threads from now on.

How is damage in a racing simulation not important? That's like saying weather is not important in a flight simulator. If you hit another car or a wall, don't you think it should effect the performance of the car? Isn't that what a simulator SHOULD DO?
Are you saying that it's more realistic to be able to plow into a wall at 100+ mph and still have full performance capabilities of the car? If you're cool with that - more power to ya.

GT4 does emphasize on driving on the "line". If you cut the wheel a little to a direction you do lose speed. If you don't enter a turn at the right angle, you'll lose time. I do want to rent Forza. BTW, does "forza" mean something in Italian?

Anyway, I should hopefully get an XBox 360 this week to play with. Other than that, it's all quiet.

ahaha.....no need to take advice from Silver. Sets bad example of board conduct and then criticizes others
btw...i wouldn't be suprised if you get a PM. He must have pictures of somebody with a goat.
you've done a good job. Despite your PS fanboy status, your duties as a mod have not shown bias.

Everyone that is a mod wants to be a mod, no one forces you But you don't need to own Forza or an Xbox to start a thread about the online aspect of the game, because it sure doesn't stop the other GT4 fanboys from commenting on a game they don't own.

You are upset because I said "so bad". You wanted to be a mod just like the rest of us, right?And read it again, I did not say you were forced.

I'm not the kind of person that likes to drag things out like this - but as long as you continue to give me a reason to clarify something or reply to something, I will.
