Want to give this a go finally. Ridge Racer just disappoints me after all the hype so I wanna try this

I read 4 is the best but how good is it really compared to 5, 6 and 7 I assume /vr/ is a bit biased towards the older games which is why I tried /v/ before but no one ever answers there before thread dies

The only thing that always prevented me from giving this series a shot is that it looks very quantity > quality and like it doesn't have a lot of personality and tries too hard to be realistic and wannabe mature, maybe factor this into your recommendation
