Did not buy the Season Pass
Bought no cars from the pack
Will probably not buy any DLC Packs, it depends on what they have to offer, I'm not blindly giving money away
Might buy a Track Pack depending on content.
I would have bought the LE if it came with the Season pass, for some reason (greed), it doesn't. Did they seriously expect me to pay $60 for the game, the $20 charge for VIP, and THEN the extra $30 for the season pass? That's $110. No way in hell. I can buy an entire new game for that extra money. Come on.
And this is the second game in a row that (I feel) Turn 10 has held back a great car for the first pack DLC- Aventador this time, GTR last time. Just because you CAN treat your customers/ fanbase this way doesn't mean that you should. I strongly dislike Turn 10's DLC model. I think it's a disgrace.

Hopefully I can get on after the debate.SarBear said:

I think I'm going to have to agree. If it wasn't for Best Buy paying for it, I wouldn't have purchased a Season Pass, either. I'm still wondering what the hell the perks might be for VIP.....other than an art book that I still have shrink wrapped and five cars. I think it's a good marketing gimmick to get a few more dollars out of Forza faithfuls, but in the end it's really screwing over us. Especially if all they plan to do is send out cars that currently exist in the game. In Forza 3, that wouldn't have been that big of an issue IF they sent out multi-million dollar cars. ....but they just sent out regular cars with strange liveries.
:/ Answers, Turn10. Group is starting to sound like your average Real Estate company that takes your money, closes up shop, and moves to a different country.
I'm getting sick and tired of trying to learn to fly helicopters in Battlefield 3(that shit punishes you if you're starting out), so yea, I'm getting on Forza here in a bit. Not sure what y'all are up to, but I'm down for whatever. I'll probably join an online race and will invite club members whenever I can. Do the same for me and I'll join whatever. I need some driving right now. I need my fix.SarBear said:

Bought the Season Pass
Didn't need to buy the November car pack
Will See if I buy anything after the Season Pass is Up(depends on how good the DLC is up to that point)
Will buy absolutely any track pack put out
Will play Forza for food
Got my forza 4 going multiscreen I have barely had anytime to play hopefully this will entice me to free up more time.

Not going to buy the season pass (I like to buy cars individually because I tend to like 1 or 2 cars out of a whole pack).
Did not buy the whole November DLC pack.
Bought the Charger (makes an awesome police cruiser/taxi). Still want that Aventador, though. It sucks it's pack only.
Don't have the season pass, but I will continue buying whatever cars I deem worthy.
Definitely! I want more courses like Bernese Alps!

Not going to buy the season pass(Probably won't play a lot of this once I'm finished with career mode. Maybe a little bit of Rivals now and then)
Won the DLC in this thread. Would not have bought it if I didn't.
Won't buy any DLC packs more than likely due to answer one.
Track packs(unless they include the new york track from FM3 I believe). Probably not though.
Does anyone else hate when they put events like the SUV races? I mean, I'm fine with driving almost any car in this game but those. They're so sluggish, huge, and ugly.

This is why I dont do World tour mode. Way too restrictive in what I'm forced to use. I either use the event list if I want to play single-player, or I play online in user-created lobbies where I dont mind using silly vehicles as I'm not having to race against the god-awful AI.Aurarian said:
Seanspeed said:
No, it's not World Tour mode. It's the event list. I had to buy the SUV for two events but they're so awful and then you add the AI in a track like Ladera. I just want to punch a hole through my TV. I don't know about anyone else but driving SUV's or gigantic trucks is definitely not something I want to do in a game like this.

For real man. How many people, in this thread alone, have asked what it is exactly their VIP status is worth? The Forza faithful deserve better.SarBear said:
And if they release another car pack DLC before they release a patch (season play AI or for whatever), or fix the pre-order cars nonsense, I am going to be pissed.

Not likely to buy entire car packs, but it all depends on content
Did not purchase anything from November yet as too many other games came out...
Most likely will buy the Charger however
Will bloody rob local kids for decent track packs let alone anything with the old Pacific PtP! Yeah T10, 2k space bucks for a good track pack from me, easily!

You'll spend hundreds of hours trying to complete every event. I've never understood the desire to spend all that time playing against the frustrating AI. Especially if you're doing races that you're not having fun in.Aurarian said:
This game offers so much in the way of 'play-how-you-want', yet some of you adhere some strict playstyle and you're simply ruining it for yourselves by doing that.
You still dont have to do those SUV races if you dont want to.Aurarian said:
And if you just enjoy driving alone on the track, you can always create your own races and still make good money/xp/affinity that way.
Just sayin man, there's absolutely no need to do stuff you dont want to do in this game.

Bought the Season Pass
Will buy every pack after the SP (most likely unless it REALLY is a shitty pack - like 10 Skylines)
Will buy any Track Packs - definitely. I love me some tracks!

They're already done, so it's a non issue at this point. I know I may have been whining a little about them, but that's alright. I enjoy doing all the races and that's primarily why I bought this game. I didn't know anything about Rivals mode or anything new that was added to this game till I put in my 360. The only thing I was looking forward to was the huge career mode and driving all sorts of cars like I had done in Forza 2 and 3.

* Bought the Season Pass
* Will buy any of the next DLC packs or any after the SP is up (I believe there will be a Season Pass #2)
* Will buy any Track Packs (Viva Rally di Positano & Gimme SPA!)
Also:
Will soon buy another year of Live Gold for only Forza and Otomedius.
Bought 1x LCE & 4x standard copies for pre-order codes

Bought Speed Wheel (half price @ BestBuy with FM4)
Will buy FM4 Ultimate Collection when it comes out if it contains any exclusive content.
Will eventually buy a Fanatec CSR-E & Rennsport wheelstand setup.
I don't buy many games, but I fully support the games I do buy.

Double post, but new page.
So, um, only got the 458 in my File Depot bit. Is there a reason the preorder gifting is so spasmodic and random? Some people have two cars, some have one, some have different ones.
TBH, I would've actually preferred the Joss if I had to choose, given my Australian heritage and current location.
Holy hell though, that 458 FM4 livery is sex though. Is that Jube's work or m0dus'?

Yea, that was fun. Definitely need to build more cars, though. Haven't got anything that good for the tracks with long straights.SarBear said:Good races, Seanspeed.
I still wanna know what you have in that F355. Next time you'll have a very tweaked F430 waiting on him.
The 355 is just the stock motor with some power upgrades. Sounds fantastic, as a Ferrari should.
I'm working on a F430, but there's so little room for improvement for it in A-class that its hard to get it right.
I'm gonna check out the 92 NSX and Shelby Series 1, though. Looked pretty competitive. In your hands at least!

Oh, I agree. That is why I don't mind buying the Season Pass and the DLC. The only thing that still irks me is that it is pretty obvious they did hold a few cars back from the game to be in the DLC. It is not enough for me to really consider a big deal, just a minor annoyance.
Edit: Oh god, someone get me away from here:

I've been pulling my hair out with the Diablo GTR trying to keep it in S class but trying to find a way to get the sport gearbox in it so i can adjust the final drive. there is so much gear left at the end of even the longest straights but any upgrade puts it to 702...i tried finding even the heaviest rim to add some weight but can only get it to 701 at the lowest with that one single upgrade.

Bought Season pass
Will consider buying car packs after season pass runs out
Will buy Track Packs day one.
One question which has probably been asked before but I can't wrap my head around it: I love love love driving the HKS evo but it's a unicorn, so the only way to get it is by being gifted one from T10 ? Why would you let me drive my fave racing car around Tsukuba and then not let me have it for the rest of the game ? Seriously, what the fuck is up with that? I can understand making them hard to get in-game, but making them impossible to obtain through dedicated play (I've put in about 80hrs since launch and will put in far more in the future) feels sort of backwards and obnoxious.

Holy crapola, I've been criminallly ignoring Forza lately. Feel guilty about it!
Bought MW3 (which is really just a map pack for Modern Warfare, so boredom set in after ten minutes) but id's Rage has been taking all my attention. One of the best FPSes I've ever played, I'm totally sucked into it.
Dan, don't fret - I'll be back in a day or two. Keep that beard free of biscuit crumbs and I'll see you soon.

It really doesn't look as great on the pictures as it does in the game, so give it a go and see for yourself. The paint is available for both M3 GT2 cars, I'll keep the one that would be more popular. Of course #79 looks a little better so I would go for this one If I were you. Enjoy guys and please give it some good treatment and leave some feedback.
Cheers HD
#79 and #92 BMW M3 GT2 --- VINCI CANAL + Racing --- FIA GT2
This might (probably) be a double post but I care not a jot - that paint is FUCKING AMAZING, Hertz.
Bravo. Kudos. Medals. Diamonds. Gold. Frankenstein. Merkins.
Further words fail me.

For those looking for great tunes, definitely scope out:

Emw rusty (best vdub tuner)
There are so many more! I'm posting from memory, but for those interested in the best painters and tuners in the Forza series, check my favorites. I have around 50+ people listed, including the names of guys reaching back to F2 who are in the process of starting F4 storefronts.
Also, got the 458 last night! Still no Joss though, that's the one I want!
