I didn't say you did say you said it was a pc vs xbox war. somebody/people hinted that so I was replying and in your post:
It seems like a few people in this thread were actually quite upset to find that when they received their copy of Forza Motorsport 4, opened the case containing Forza Motorsport 4 and placed it into their Xbox 360's, were then shocked to find they were not playing Iracing nor were they playing Rfactor but in fact they were actually playing Forza Motorsport 4
i replied by clarifying my point:
the point was that someone claimed that forza 4 was far better than many other games.the argument I had was that the physics are not the best (for xbox) and that Dirt 3 and race pro are better.
it's all very clear to me: the top 10 list will create/ result in different opinions which is fine. YOU are happy to play different racing games for different reasons. they have different qualities, some arcade and some simulation. i think that would make your decision of a top 10 even harder because...on what basis would you rank your number 1? would it be the best arcade or the best simulation? that aside, my friend marcin would not claim forza 4 was better for just picture or arcade quality. he like his "sims". he stated that forza 4 is the best and in my opinion I disagreed because of the physics.
I had an xbox before a pc. i never expected forza 4 to be Iracing because...I had never played Iracing at the time. However, i found the physics a let down compared to the other games (and the ffb). looks can be deceptive. so I was let down by the fact that the physics do not match the reality of the graphics.
i bet you're a very happy chappy in reality because, if you buy any car game you will be happy. you could buy the zx spectrum game and be happy because "it is what it is".
for me and many others (pc or no pc) I think we want to live the dream and enjoy something as close to reality as possible. Otherwise, why buy a steering wheel and sit in your sitting room? why buy a game that looks real with real cars and track? why not just stick to the same old?
anyway, i'll just enjoy racing sims and you just enjoy whatever game you play son
hope that clarifies. cheers
