How Come When We Compare Forza 3 and GT5, The Sales Dont matter but....

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"]You're missing the option GT5 > Forza3 and Killzone 2 > Halo 3 which is the correct one :)Ninja-Hippo

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"][QUOTE="Jandurin"]Neither Forza 3 nor GT 5 have sold a single copy. WTF is this thread doing here? Is it from the future?shawn7324

First off, Halo 3 IS the more successful game than Killzone 2, in sales and scores (going by Gamespot, Metacritic, and Gamerankings). So this hardly helps your case ArmyGuy.

Forza 2 may not have sold as well as GT 4, the game that was released in the same window, but it did outscore it. So of course when comparing Forza and GT,. do the cows compare games in the same release cycle? Of course not, they fall back on a game from EIGHT YEARS AGO, and no matter what, still proclaim it/s 9.4 >>> 9.2.

Which brings me to my next point. ArmyGuy, you want to talk about hypocrisy??? What about the double standards of aging of games? Cows want to insist that Halo 3's 9.5 doesn't measure up to Killzone 2's 9.0, because of "progressing standards". Which is fair enough. So why does this same principle not apply to the Forza vs GT argument? Then all of the sudden, GT3's 9.4 score is etched in stone and retains its value for... 8... 15... hell even 40 years as far as cows are concerned!

Of course they have to use a game not only from EIGHT YEARS AGO, but also the last GT game that was out before there was any other sim racer competiton on consoles (Forza) for reviewers to have anything to compare the standards for. They will always use that 9.4 from 4 years prior to Forza 2 with its 9.2, just because they want to have a better number to use.

So Halo 3's score, still in the same generation, doesn't hold up to KZ2 in "changing standards", but GT3, a game from a whole previous gen, can ALWAYS be used against Forza 2 to say it's actually better.

Ain't that just grand :roll::roll:

[QUOTE="shawn7324"][QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] The point doesn't even make sense. 'Either you can have Forza 3 is better than GT, or you can have Halo is better than Killzone - you cant have both!' What sense does that make? How about we go with common sense and say that the gaming community obviously thinks Halo 3 is a better game than Killzone 2 - judging by sales, sales of ODST on top of that, massive critical acclaim and redonkulous online numbers. And as far as Forza 3 and GT goes, lets wait for either to sell a single copy before we make rules on what can and cannot be said about them. Eh? :|Ninja-Hippo

So, why is anyone even talking about last gen consoles?

Only Forza 2 and GT5P should be used in arguments, Forza 3 and GT5 have yet to reach the hands of any consumers, and Forza 3 has only been reviewed by a handful of reviewers.

(All race sims suck, by the way.)

You're missing the option GT5 > Forza3 and Killzone 2 > Halo 3 which is the correct one :)RedruM_I

You almost had it. What's REALLY missing from the poll is 'Forza > GT AND Halo > Killzone' ;)
