Which game is giving you the Superior Experience right now GT5 or Forza 3?

Which game in your opinion would you rather play an which game is delivering a better experience for you currently and which game would u say desrves the better rating based on your current gameplay agenda which is on it GT5 or Forza 3?

just wondering what u racers are playing an which game is the best for you in your opinion and would u rate higher thx

No more than 20 people should be voting in this poll because that's the amount of people on these boards that probably have both games, lol. In my eyes if you have one great racing sim why would you want another UNLESS it was either:

1) A much better game

2) You're an auto nut

Both different games. GT5 is better with the driving aspect, whereas Forza 3 is better with customization. Overall I would say GT5 since it is an overall better driving experience.

GT5 especially since the new patch!

omg everyones voting for GT5 why was it rated an 8.0 on gamespot if its so much better than forza which got 9.5 just barely a year ago?

what were the guy rating it thinking if its a better game shouldn't get the same or higher grades or no?

is it strange that as soon as I bought gt5 I started replaying forza 3 :? I donno. i really wanna get into gt5 because I've always been a fan but it just takes tooo damn long to load:evil: I'm sure I will though and it will probably consume most of my time just the way forza did when I first got it. When u start these games its just soo hard to stop:(

I only have Forza 3 so yeah...

Forza. According to Gamerankings' score, it seems Forza has dethroned GT. Unfortunate seeing as it's been like 10 years since the last GT and only a few between the previous Forza.

Yeah, how many of you actually have both games :roll:

Unless of course you created it to be nothing but flamebait, and forgot to switch accounts before you made your second post...

Hahaha. You can tell he's very emotional about it

lol no the comment isnt odd bro im just trying to stir the pot a little bit i mean we got ppl here voting fro gt5 an it got lower score from GS so i was just pointing that out to the voters so they can respond its kinda not just a poll but also a good convo starter i think

Highly unlikely that anyone has both especially since people are posting GT5 and offering no explanation or reasoning to their answer whatsoever....so basically an Xbox vs. PS3 thread.

Hmm well let me think ummmm well im going to have to give gt5 the edge over forza 3.

Forza 3 by a long shot. I just went back to it tonight for a few races to make sure my impressions of GT5 weren't so sour. I've spent about 120 hours with Forza 3 and almost 30 hours in GT5 now. GT5 has some nice ideas and a surprisingly decent handling model, but everything else is one notch above garbage. The recent patch has helped a bit, but even the most basic of interface issues and streamlining are completely insane. Forza 3's entire interface is beautiful and quick - GT5's is convoluted and painfully slow. The most basic tasks become painful - Forza 3 shows you colour-coded boxes on the career mode indicating which events your current car can enter. GT5 requires you to enter extra menus to see which cars are required, which ones you have that are eligible, and god help if you if you have to go and buy a car because you have to remember what the specifics are and then manually check vehicles one by one. Forza 3 lets you search all cars (not just your garage) by pretty much any parameter. And then the racing itself. Handling is very comparable between the two games, with GT5 taking a slight edge for having a more raw feel with all the assists off. Unfortunately, it comes at the expense of the sense of grip, of which you have none (save the ear-piercing sound of nails on a chalkboard that they've substituted for tire squeals), and cheap tires are modeled horribly. There are more opponents in GT5, of course, but as they're so dumb I'm not sure if that's really an advantage or not, or the framerate drops that occur when everyone enters a corner at once and you get the close LOD models all at the same time. Forza 3 runs smoother, has no tearing, and no weird issues like GT5's incredibly low resolution effects buffers that gives the 8bit look to shadows and car edges when subjected to smoke/snow/rain. The rain effects in GT5 (while not present at all in Forza 3) are downright embarassing. Apparently no one thought to copy PGR4. And in terms of tuning and customization...again, Forza 3. There are more options for upgrades/tweaks (engine swaps, brakes, tire compound and tire width) and the tuning menu gives you actual parameters and not just Polyphony's dumbed down numerical systems. I'm not even going to mention more than 'painting' itself because GT5's disposable paint chip system is embarassing compared to Forza 3's limitless painting, let alone the decal editor and online store where you can buy other player's designs with in-game credits. The Nascar/rally/Top Gear additions to GT5 are also pretty lame, and aren't worth much more than the bullet points on the box. Top Gear events are wasted with the low power cars and joke events, Nascar is nightmare inducing thanks to Zombie Jeff Gordon (and the events are no more fun than turning a corner) and rally is severely underutilized...which is probably a good thing considering how bad the game's rendition of dirt and snow is.DJ_Lae

Wait a minute ,So where as GT5 in your eyes simulates driving better, has more content, You Picked Forza because of a better user interface, customization options and ran better?

He's basically asking do you own a PS3 or Xbox...Vadamee

So true.

Reality check. GT5 is a PS2 racer in HD with some premium cars tacked on.:P

Yea in forza 3 you can paint ur cars pretty colors Ha Ha Ha Ha!

I have the CE for gt5 and forza3, prefer gt5 mostly because the physics and wheel support matter to me most.

Nice joke :lol:

I am going with forza 3 for now till gt5 gets patched we all know the issues on gt5. Oh I have both in case you are wondering.

Nice joke :lol:

GT5?

:lol:

I know, I know. I'm killing 'em tonight.

On a serious note, TC. Do you really think you're gonna get a straight answer from cows who hyped GT5 as the second coming ultra gfx king, and now are trying to justify GT5's failure. It flopped for a reason.

I have both games, and i say GT5.

Its very close to be honest. I love both games alot.

I started as a GT fan, then a forza fan, now a fan of both these two games here.

Wait a minute ,So where as GT5 in your eyes simulates driving better, has more content, You Picked Forza because of a better user interface, customization options and ran better?

Blinblingthing

Everything else goes to Forza - even graphics, which is never something I thought I'd say pre-GT5 launch. GT5 looks like ass outside of its photomode output.

edit - GT5 doesn't have more content, either. Even ignoring Forza 3's overlong career mode, the game has more tracks and a lot more variety in the races available for different types of cars. GT5 gives you 36 races and a couple dozen special events that range from mediocre to terrible.

that took 5 years to make for perfection and now are coming out with a patch already.

Same here.

Dunno, i don't play racing games.

GT5. but only because the 360 has such pisspoor wheel support and my Logitech DFGT won't work with it. and i now refuse to play a racing game with a pad, it would be like playing rockband with a pad

I would say both are worth having but if I had to chose only one to own, GT5.

The Fanatec wheel and Clubsport pedals are not "pisspoor wheel support". The Fanatec wheel is arguably better than Logitech's. Perhaps they're not easy to attain, but they support Forza 3 more than adequately.

only own GT5 so cant say, but im having sooo much fun with this game especially with the wheel setup, and the new patch made the game even more great :)

plus free DLC coming in this week, PD did say its an ongoing project so yay :D

ITT : Cows saying GT5 & Lems saying Forza, even if they haven't played them.

getting a fanatec is only slightly more likely than getting a unicorn, try walking into a store and saying ill have forza3 and a 900 degree wheel please, yet you can walk into any store and get gt5 and a 900 degree wheel

Even with the patch I still think that Forza 3 is a better game.

GT5 especially since the new patch!

Wait, whats the new patch? My ps3 is offline right now.
