Forza Motorsport Positive Metacritic Score Inflated By Bots

[RSC]

In a post on Reddit today, u/atyzer pointed out that a great number of reviewers on Metacritic are showing every sign of being bots with OriginalNames like RealPeople have, serving to inflate the Forza Motorsport rating. While there is no indication that Microsoft or Turn10 are responsible, nor does it suggest every other positive review isn’t from a real user enjoying the product, this does explain the discrepancies between the very average reviews on Steam and other review platforms compared to Metacritic.

It's a shame that a Forza game became so bad it has to rely on bots to get decent metacritic score.

"Wonderful and unique with the least possible defects, thanks to the production team."

LOL.

Under all this nonsense is not a bad game- at least it's running okay on the consoles, but that should not be the case, it should be running great with no glitches and it's not. The PC release, especially the Steam version it seems, is inexcusable. I hope they get it sorted out but, damn, they had six bloody years, right? The physics engine is pretty good, blows all previous FM titles out of the water. There are some...curious design choices to be sure but a lot of it can be sidestepped and at least they re-balanced the car levelling system.

I gave it a 1 star review because no game should be published in the current state that Forza Motorsport is, especially when its a flagship title of the console.

Yes there is a good, fun racing game underneath the hood of Forza, but it is ruined by everything else. I could swear that no one in the company did play test this game.

So far the new patch introduced more bugs to me than it solved.
