Eventually they are gonna have some good hits. Ninja Theory is great and if they acquire Activision they’ll have even more studions. But the management is awful
Ninja Theory are great?

They've had 1 game since 2003 that wasn't bog average or worse and their most recent game was Bleeding Edge - a complete disaster

They are probably the worst dev MS have acquired, not sure how they got on some pedestal other than being good with graphics?

I enjoy there games and obviously Sony did enough to have them make 2 exclusives for them. Hellblade ( timed exclusive ) and Heavenly Sword.
DMC had great combat and gamepay and I really enjoyed Enslaved.
Probably one of the better Xbox studios when it comes to actual gameplay.

Bethesda’s main team is on the down, 343 is lol. Mchine games kinda lost it so Ninja theory is nowhere near the worst studio MS has lol

It can also be played without spending any extra money after the initial buy. Ive enjoyed it and not paid anymore money since launch
The real question is, how many races have you won?

I want stats, chequered flag screenshots and pictures of Trophies.

And lastly, I wanna see your souped-up car.

Online… No races won lol. I played a few times online and I get destroyed. I found it a moral victory when I didnt come in last place :giggle:

But offline Ive enjoyed it. Ill take a pic of trophies when I get back from abroad but its not gonna be impressive, probably 20%? Nowhere near finishing the game either Or license tests. Im on Internation B And World Curcuits I have a few left on Americas and Europe but not sure if more gets added on.

My favourite cars are the Evolution 6/Final 15 and Honda White Integra Type R 98, they have the upgrades on the 2nd last menu, maybe 1 from the last menu. Im really not that knowledable when it comes to cars but Ive always liked these since I was a teen. Driving in an Evo in real life was so good.

TBH its the first racing game Ive bought and played since Ridge Racer on the PSP :ROFLMAO: …. Actually I played Driveclub (PS+) and liked it. And….? Need for Speed on PS3?? Not sure.
But my brother has a wheel now so gonna see if I can borrow that when I get back. ( After God of War and Elden Ring of course )

And the main compliment for all of those games are good graphics

Nah, Horizon has some decent combat, alot better than most open world games. To me it was quite unique. I love the different approaches to beating different types of enemies, and not many games have robot dinosaurs lol.
Outside of Batman, Spiderman and Ghost of Tsushima I cant say other games have better combat in an open world. ( Are souls games classed as open world now days? )
The world locations and NPC’s are very forgetable though.

Killzone 2/3, I love the way the gunplay feels heavy and the atmosphere of war. Killzone Shadow Fall was really bad…
