Forza Horizon 4 beat its previous CCU record on Steam with a current peak of 65k users, days after delisting news and an 80% discount

I want to get this for the Deck, but I cannot put up with the huge install size.

That Treasure Island DLC, music selection, and Bond cars are worth the asking price alone.

I'm one. Enjoyed playing the game via Gamepass in the early XSX days, but let my sub slide, so jumped back in with that 80% discount to secure the ultimate edition (or whatever it's called). I'd buy it again if they ever released it on PS5, too late for this one now I guess.

I got the Ultimate Edition for 20€, good game just so similar to NFS Heat, I don't know who ripped off who.
 
I feel the same way with games I already own. Seemed like they jumped in size from 10gb to 100gb+ overnight
More PC devs should be offering options like separating high res texture pack downloads. Even if I had a higher end PC handheld eg. the Ally or the Lenovo Go that would be capable of running the higher end textures, I would still prefer not downloading them to save size as it is hard to notice the difference on a small handheld display. I have a 1 TB SSD + 512 GB micro SD card in my deck and it is not enough.

Well, Forza Horizon 1 is quite old now, it was released in 2012 and NFS Heat in 2019. But even then, you had Test Drive Unlimited in 2006 as the same type of game. I still expect being able to race the complete "real world" before I die, I really like open worlder like those. Flight Simulator gives me hope that it's possible.

I liked Horizon 3 but I was just super confused with Horizon 4, such a weird game.

It felt like it had no real progression and no incentive to be good at anything. My first realization of this was when I played a race, I messed up during the race and arrived among the lasts, then I wanted to play that race again, I open the map, but I couldn't find it, I saw gold medals everywhere. It turns out that no matter what place you get, you get a gold medal no matter what.

What you do, how you play, the results you get, nothing matter, you just get everything like everybody else and that's it. It's a huge killer for an arcade game where you're supposed to be excited about scoring and playing well.

I guess it can still be fun if you just want to free roam, but... it's a really weird game design.

Heads up, the sales for the Xbox versions are here. :)

Standard, Deluxe and Ultimate - 80% off. I'm definitely buying that last one.
