You know, I thought the same way until just recently, I decided to try Forza Motorsport 7 on a whim, and I don’t know what happened but a switch flipped or something, and now I’m nuts for the sim series. It’s super approachable if you’re coming from arcade racers. It eases you into the sim elements and has a ton of accessibility options. Incredible game.
Alright. The results are in. I’ve wasted an hour of my day to present you.

Thank you for everyone who has entered a full list (and everyone who didn’t, we love you too). I’ll also calculate who the most average XboxEra member is regarding their taste.
Alright, now it’s time to find out who is a completely average XboxEra user and who has a taste in video games that doesn’t align with the XboxEra community at all.
The lower your points, the more your personal hype aligns with the community Hype-O-Meter.
For me there’s something I like about every game I see. That’s why I can rank my hype for all Xbox/Bethesda games. Even though some of them I’ll probably never play.
