So Forza Motorsport 5 is a game that plays itself? Sounds like fun.
And Battlefield 4 already has a map pack!?! That’s just wrong.
I’d almost want to try out Forza just to see all the other cars driving around like they were completely drunk after a poor performance by me in the previous map.
I’m so bad at racing games, I don’t know why the AI would want to learn from me.
