I don't know what people see In Forza 3 and Gt5.

I got Forza 3 with my 360 , and i have played a couple of GT games before , other than looking at the cars which why lie are many and some of them are mind blowing , i don't see anything interesting , races suck , the AL is so bad , they are not anything special , people keep on debating about which game has better physics and different things , i mean if you want a realistic car game , go drive your real car ! Also i never really liked racing games maybe that is the reason.

Also i never really liked racing games maybe that is the reason.

im in the same camp... i think the people who like racing sims are the same people that buy madden every year... and probably dont own any other games for their console.

I think it's the fact that you don't like racing games :P

If you don't like them, why would you look for the appeal in them? You probably wouldn't.

not everyone can drive cool cars and people love racing. the graphics of these games are usually the best for the systems. driving a real car has consequencesthat arent present in some racing games and not everyone lives near a race track or has a place to top out their car. they dont have the real money to make a 4 banger have 500hp.

im just basing this off the fact that the people i knew in highschool who were hardcore into GT pretty much only played like madden and tekken.

and considered any other games to be for teh nerdz!

been discussed before...

Both series are very very fun with friends.

Me and my dad and my cousins meet up online in Forza3, set up matches and race agaisnt each other, its tons of fun.
We each have our own cars, custimized with crazy pictures/paintjobs and its just fun as heck.

I like GT and Forza series the most out of any racing series. They are somewhat realistic (not as realistic as some of the pc racers but compared to other console racers).

its the gameplay, its perfect in these series.

i never really liked racing games maybe that is the reason.

...maybe it is. :|

QUITE the opposite. I have never bought a Madden game in my life.

Ill buy GT 5...midnight launch...because of the many layers of gameplay it will offer. I appreciate the depth and challenge of a great racing sim.

By the way TC, if racing games arent your thing, then why bother trying to understand their appeal or their fans?

Also i never really liked racing games maybe that is the reason. D-RS

Simulation racing is a niche genre, not everyone's cup of tea. I'm sure you're one of those people that play run and gun shooters like MW2 and think it's "real".

Most people who say that, are bad at the games, and don't have an appreciation for racing.Peiner09

trying to understand something that you dont is a pretty progressive and intelligent stance, dont you think? If we all took the time to understand other people's interests the world would be a much happier place :D

Fair enough lol

Well, like i said i appreciate the depth and challenge of racing sims.

I get it though...racing sims are definitely not everyones cup of tea.

i played them too... but thats an arcade racer. I understand arcade racers.

it would be like if someone played a platforming sim... where you could only jump a gap of a few feet and climbing was tedious and slow... i think it would suck the fun out of the platforming genre.

Reality check: video games aren't real.

Now if you own a Ferrari and have access to say, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, then good for you. In the mean time the rest of us will have to settle for something less.

ok...this is an issue with racing sims, yes. Hopefully GT5 will have addressed this.

Of course, there is always the online aspect. No substitute for human competitors. That will require some skill.

So you're saying you don't actually know what driving in a race car feels like in real life? Interesting...

Because I'd imagine it's very different than driving in a camry.

[QUOTE="D-RS"] In Forza 3 the races were easy the al was terrible , the driving was ok great but that Al ! D-RS

EDIT: I have to be 18 to be able to drive.

So you're complaining about a game that you don't like and are not interested in and can't figure out why other people like it? You're either extremely self centered or just like making pointless threads.shahchip

Err no. Never bought a Madden but do play MotorStorm/Pure/NFS/MotoGP etc etc. Guess that's because I like racing in all forms :D

so if the thrill is driving faster in a car than you can in real life... why wouldnt you prefer arcade racers where acceleration and handling is light years in the future? Think of the cars as the year 2100 prototypes :)

Racing games are up there with tennis games as far as I'm concerned. I never think or care about them, and it's weird to see people using them in arguments for systems.

I got Forza 3 with my 360 , and i have played a couple of GT games before , other than looking at the cars which why lie are many and some of them are mind blowing , i don't see anything interesting , races suck , the AL is so bad , they are not anything special , people keep on debating about which game has better physics and different things , i mean if you want a realistic car game , go drive your real car !
