this may be a me problem but FH5 really didn’t do much for me. every game needing to be a forever game with unlimited constantly renewing stuff to do kinda sucks the fun out of single player games
and i don’t think this will be that much different in that regard even if japan sounds cool
Agreed. FH4 and 5 are fun, but the monetization is obnoxious and it often felt clunky just to get into fun racing activities quickly.
Also the intro threw me off right away, at least in 4 there was still a veneer of you starting as a lowly pleb, 5 was just “YOU’RE THE SUPERSTAR!!!” right from second one and it was just patronising.
Turning off the dialigue so the cut scenes were just people standing around was the best improvement for me.
It’s not just you! Forza Horizon has been the main series of video game I looked forward to. I loved 3 and 4.
It didn’t take long for 5 to concentrate fully on the weekly bullshit and making the game more about puzzles and Hot Wheels-style excitement than driving.
This is the first Horizon game in over a decade that I couldn’t care less about. It just feels like a sad shell of the previous games.
I remember seeing a cool driving thing to do only to be told “you need to pay X to do it”
Nah
