Just curious but out of the people who don't think the game feels "Japanese" enough, who has actually spent time in Japan?

I havent been yet, I just wanted it to be more like above, you know bustling and alive while also having cool japanese > turning into english letters for instance for the Horizon Festival itself etc

I've been multiple times including one time where we rented a car and travelled outside of the big cities into the countryside. I've also spent a night at Daikoku PA (the big car meet under the highways that you always see and is featured in that video) and took time to travel around and visit different tuning shops and locations (including Tatsumi PA, and the Akihabara underground that people do car meets in).

I think they did a pretty good job at recreating the atmosphere in the confines of an open world racer. Japan isn't as outlandish as many people think and even a place like Akihabara just looks like any other place in Tokyo if it wasn't plastered in generic anime (I say that as an anime fan) especially during the day.

I do agree that it feels "barren" especially in the city but the problem is if you want it to actually be like Tokyo you'd barely be able to drive through it at more then 30mph and they obviously can't have a ton of pedestrians that you can possibly hit.

It appears some people just want a caricature of Japan where everything is covered in sakura.

I'll spend my energy how I want to spend it, and I don't want to spend it jerking around other users dick when all they want is to annoy and play internet detective or judge from a high horse, instead of talk about the fucking games.

Give me Forza Horizon Canada next. We have mountains, grasslands, forests, escarpment, cities lakes, oceans... we have it all.

How about the country which invented cars?
