If you go to one of your houses, you can change your character there, just hit LB and you'll go back to the choices like hair, prosthetics, voice, pronoun etc.

This feels like the open world car game of my dreams. The cars feel perfect and I’m loving the simulation setting on the steering. Cars are super involving and feels like the physics are really well developed. Absolutely beautiful. 10/10 for me so far.

I'm relieved the performance mode looks good even on S, i'm fairly certain its less aliased than it was on FH4. Plays like a dream. Its hard to go back to quality after you tried it.

Looks awesome graphically but is nobody burnt out on this open world formula yet? I loved FH3, which was the first FH I played. FH4 was great too but not quite as good as FH3 imo. Since then we've had Crew 2, NFS Heat, and maybe even others that have tried to copy the formula. Just seems kind of boring? There is basically 0 progression as cars are thrown at you left and right which is par for the course for FH, still the same activities to do as FH3, I dunno. Definitely the best Forza Horizon, but it feels kind of redundant at this point if you've played others in the series as much as me. And if you haven't, then I guess your mind is absolutely blown.

Nah, because there is nothing quite like this game. So it's hard to get OD on this type of racer.

What an intro, very well done. World seems so well done you just want to drive around and look at it. Sweet.

Try starting the game as admin. I also had crashes. On loading in, cutscene's, character creation. But as soon as I launched as admin everything went fine.

If you religiously played FH4 up until the release of this game then I can see that because it really is just more of the same in a new setting. Personally I've not played FH4 in well over a year so I've been cleansed of the formula so to speak.
Having a blast with this at the moment. My only annoyances being that wheels are not working at the moment (there's a bug with the FFB), there's a memory leak on PC which causes the framerate to tank after a couple of hours in extended play sessions, and that the Dolby Atmos mix is off during races which means you can barely hear your own car over the others.

I am gonna have to look up reviews on this because Id like to know just what changed here aside from the setting. It feels very similar to both FH4 and FH3. I was never a big fan of the franchise, or open world racers like Crew in general. I have always struggled to find the fun in these games. Maybe its the progression or just the core driving around a massive map instead of intricately designed tracks you can aim to try and master, but this series just hasnt clicked for me, and so far it feels pretty much identical to the previous games in the franchise. Im still 2 races in so hopefully things will open up soon and I will get to see the new additions to the series.

Thank you this worked!Check if something called "nahiminic service" is not running. You can check it out in the task manager > details (or what is it called, I only have Czech version of Win). If so, kill it.
Here is the pic, where it's located:

Anyone playing this on PC? How do i turn on HDR?
I have it enabled in the windows setting but the ingame setting says my display does not support HDR.

Just tried this on Xbox Series X. I felt that I was watching the car more than driving it. Space physics, being dropped from a plane, jumping hundreds of meters etc. Does this improve or should I just stick with Rally? I have only tried the start, but got fed up instantly.

Turn HDR on in Windows before starting the game.

Finally reached the hall of fame, I can take a break now for a few days.
Final thoughts:
+ Map is really good, either best or second best after FH3. I really don't miss the UK although snow was nice, hope they make a snow extension in the future;
+ Game looked beautiful from start to finish, tons of subtle improvements from previous games especially in the lighting and geometry details, plus impressive faked reflection effects;
+ Progression is much better than FH4 with the accolade system, giving you reasons to actually win races, collect cars, etc;
+ Driving model is way better than FH4 especially with heavy vehicles, not something you'd notice if you're new but coming from hundreds of hours it's obvious;
- Set pieces are really done at this point and I would remove them. In FH5 they were really bad and kind of glitchy. The monster truck was the worst with those assholes ramming you off the road, and they never really feel like races anyway;
- Main character talking wasn't really on my wish list, it sucked but at the same time there was less story than in FH4;
- Night driving hasn't been improved and the game looks a lot worse during nights, I guess RT will be needed for that.
- Playlist so far feels worse than 3 and 4, a few good tracks but that's it.
Overall a solid 9/10 and this is before the expansions and extra content.

Thanks for this, fh3 was the last one i really played and I was really starting to get annoyed with the fast travel location restrictions and didn't know you could remove it like this.

I think you just don't like games tbh based on your previous posts:
you in the patreon? i need to double check if that's for this game or other rtx games.

Just joined Forza GAF this morning. This is going to be fun. I can't wait until this weekend when I have more time to play. I'll be playing at least a few hours each night during the week though.
I have to say, FH5 is my favorite Horizon yet.

It should be working then in that case. Check your HDCP status in the Nvidia control panel (or AMD equivalent if that's what you're using).

Where are those trolls that said this was gonna play differently because of aquaplaning?
The game is great, breathtaking presentation, stunning to just drive around and look, but this is a re-skin of Horizon 3 and 4, it's a pretty re-skin, but a re-skin non-the-less. You start with racing the plane, doing a few tutorial missions, meeting someone at the festival, choosing a car, the game opens up and you do the same races you always do. It's virtually identical. Now that I played a decent amount, I expected a lot more originality rather than the same old ways to progress through the map as always and the same old "story" missions with some of the worst writing in games today.
That said. Since there really aren't any other car games competing with this, and since it's so stunning, it doesn't feel too old, it still works well. But if you played a lot of Horizon in the past, this does feel like a used glove to some extent.

I thought you were cherry picking but wow the entire post history is just negative opinions about popular games.

Gonna give this a full go tonight. I played for a bit this morning before work. My feelings of it so far is that it's just a racing game with great eye candy. I want to feel some kind of immersion here. Hopefully it's there.
I couldn't skip in the beginning, but maybe that's intentional. How far in are you?
