Forza Horizon 5 |OT| Are you a Mexican, or a Mexican't?

I haven't played a Forza Horizon game since the first one and I couldn't get into it. I didn't play long, so maybe I just didn't give it a chance. But I just felt like I was kinda driving around aimlessly with no real purpose.

But I do like open world style games, even though I'm not a huge fan of racing games, I do enjoy them from time to time.

Should I give this series another shot? Is it one of those games where you need to kinda get into the flow of it before it grabs you? Or would I know right away if it's for me or not?

You should be able to tell early on. If you have access to game pass just give it a spin
 
Just started, not only is it the best looking game I've ever seen but that is the best intro I've ever played too, absolutely incredible.

Are there still seasons in FH5 or are they using the biomes as the weather thresholds?

There are but it's not a blanket winter, summer, fall etc. across the entire map.

It's instead weekly seasons like "wet season", "dry season", and two others I can't recall. This impacts the map in specific biomes/regions and may make previously blocked areas drivable. So even in the wet season there will still be regions that may not be watery, versus in FH4 where winter meant snow and ice everywhere.

I think it's really lame as an Xbox All Access subscriber that you can't get access early. All access my ass. Not paying $55 to play a game early.

But it's worth it. The 2 DLC
The 👑 next to your name for bragging rights.
Still cheaper than a regular game buy.
For only early access, i would not do it either, but the package is solid.

Hmm. And switching it back doesn't have any account/store issues, or require a factory reset?

It used to be an issue in the Xbox360 days when you could only change a region twice a year or so but since the Xbox One you can change regions at will, I do it all the time since I tend to buy stuff from the US store and never had an issue.

So how do we play earlier on PC? I have a VPN, I mean a ticket to NZ but it still says I'm too early?
I have the game on GP and bought the premium bundle.

Found a solution:
You need to change region not timezone under time & language settings/region. No VPN needed.
Happy gaming my friends!

Go to 'Region Settings', or type it into the search bar. Switch to New Zealand and you're off to the races.
 
Played it for an hour now, I think the biggest change isn't the graphics but the simulation aspects. After hundreds of hours on FH4 the difference when driving heavy vehicles (like the Bronco) is really noticeable.
 
Do we have an official club? I started one named Apex that I can share, or I'll leave it if we already have one.

I have put a couple of hours in and now that Dolby Vision is in as well this game is just gorgeous.

Have played it on all my TVs a C9, QN90A and the Sony X900H and honestly to me while in motion is looks best on the X900H
 
GFX are incredible. Cruising around with Hospital Radio on is as good as ever.

Feels like FH4 moved to Mexico in many ways, not a bad thing but I did clock 300 hours in that so I hope this has some new tricks up it sleeve
 
Game frequently crashes on PC for me. Seems like a lot of people are having the same issue. Hopefully it's resolved sooner than later.
 
Are people who are playing now purchased the full version and changed settings to NZ....

Or can you just use the gamepass version to do this?

I'm using the Game Pass version, NZ settings, but you need to purchase the Premium Expansion DLC to get the early access and play today.
 
once I unlock the game on a quick travel to NZ, can I go back to my real region and be able to keep playing?

Stunned by the beauty of this world, I'm based in the UK but FH4's world always felt bland to me, give me this/FH3 any day of the week;
