Let it go, papi.

I've played Forza Horizon 4 and 5, and to be fair, they're very well-made games. The graphics are amazing, the driving feels great, and overall the quality is obvious. But personally, I don't really see much appeal in the franchise unless you're genuinely passionate about cars.

To me, the games feel very repetitive. Beyond the races, there isn't much going on. The dialogue is pretty cringe at times, and there's barely any real story, narrative, or meaningful progression outside of commentators constantly talking in the background. After a while, it just gets boring for me.

Honestly, I feel the same way about Gran Turismo and most other racing games. They're impressive technically, but they're just not my type of games.

The woke stuff? It's insignificant.

I haven't been following the woke threads for the game, I figured there was one for every game as a joke or for clickbait. I expect there to be some basic inclusivism in a Microsoft related game like a gay character, maybe a gay dog or gopher but in the grand scheme of things most likely insignificant as you say and about the equivalent of driving through a fart cloud. You won't even have time to smell it before your car cuts through it and it's over with. Who knows, I'm here for the good times and Forza usually delivers.
 
One day someone is going to make my dream game that combines all the good aspects of the FH series only with better progression systems and festivals mixed with the destructive elements of the Burnout series. Till then I guess this will do. My sister loves this series.

I would prefer a Middle East location, personally. That'd be good depending on what they pick.

They should Choose Israel, everyone will love learning the history of the area and you could have like the Walls of Jericho run, Walk the Sea of Galilee, Retake the Golan heights, Mount of Transmission, Parting the Jordan, Slaying the Goliath, The Ride of the Three Wise Cars, Flight to Egypt, Cross the Red Sea, Wander the Wilderness, Flight to Masada, Fire from Heaven, And Flaming Chariot run.

Game writes itself.
 
This game shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. They're not gonna change the formula, because it works for the large group of fans that buy these.

Glad it's reviewing well! I'm so stoked to drive around Japan 😄
 
I feel a bit exhausted (pun/10) just thinking about playing this. I'd love to Playground let rip with their imaginations, create a fantasy world, futuristic or historical, Wipeout meets Mad Max, something completely out there and unexpected. Do we really need the same mechanics (pun/10) in a different map for another entry into this series? Feels like diminishing returns and this is from someone who enjoys the series. This latest version just feel superfluous, entirely predictable but competent. I wish there was at least something surprising and headline grabbing about it apart from being Forza in Japan.

Did they fix the progression?

I saw a video title/thumbnail on YouTube that said there's 3 ways to progress now.

Were there always 3 ways to progress?

Honestly, this game makes me turn off my brain for a bit because I ignore everything but the racing part lol

I'm sure I'll put another 100+ hours into this one like I have with all the others but FH5 really got too weird with all the stuff they added and the map wasn't as fun as 3 and 4.

It's one of those games like Diablo IV where a certain amount of repetition is part of the package.

Put on your spotify playlist, do some races and grind creds for faster cars.
 
Hopefully they can nail fable as much as they do with racing games, the hope is still alive even after that reveal trailer...

Whatever tech they have for modeling large environments seems to be quite efficient so they could be pumping out new maps/countries every 2/3 years it seems

The scenery is truly beautiful imho (both technically and artistically), but after the deep-dive in January I expect queer-slop in a beautiful environment if I am being honest.

Pretty much what I use GT7 for. I prefer a little more sim-like to my racing over what Forza provides but this is what I do in GT. Just put on a pod and run some races. Usually at a what point where I'm in between games but don't really feel like starting up something new yet and just want to kill some time instead of watching tv.

I'm more worried by the clunky ass combat they showed and some of old fables stuff they removed, with western devs, some woke in their games is expected so it's hard to be surprised at this point...

The higher the score the more "woke" the game or what?

It's a Forza Horizon game, they always review well, consistently in the high 80s to low 90s since the first one.

So no surprises here.

That said, 10/10 at IGN is close to a meme at this point whenever there is something clearly aimed at "a modern audience" like having 3 body types…

The series review scores are like clockwork, which is weird.

It's always been a 7.5/10 game to me
