Re: Why not Forza?

@eduardocampos192 

As you wish.  

I like (mostly) Forza Horizon 3 minus a few things, never had a chance to play Horizon 1 or 2.  Forza Horizon 4, however, is a completely different story.  Aside from a lot of cars that I like, there is NOTHING in Horizon 4 that appeals to me:  

- Certain cars being locked behind ridiculous grinds.

- Ridiculous grinds, being nearly impossible to complete at times.

- Overpowered, Rubber-banding AI. 

- Lack luster stories, with ridiculous objectives, that must be completed using horribly pre-tuned cars.

- Developer ignores feedback.

- Developer actively deletes most of the negative feedback.

- 70 Gigs of hard-drive space just for the base game.

And my least favorites of this list, going on since Horizon 3 (for me):

- Traffic spawn distance is annoying.

- Drivetrains options are limited to AWD, since anything but AWD sucks for grip.

- Car builds are restricted and some cars are overpowered (Sound familiar?).

And on top of all that, Horizon 3 in 2019 can't even be played with a controller anymore, since cars now refuse to respond to steering.

    Thanks for a chance to look at the FH from a different perspective. 

    You convinced me to do some more research before getting xbox.

    I did enjoy FH 3 (also did not play 1 and 2). For some reason i enjoyed the car customisation  process and roaming around the map. The races weren't that much of a fun.

    Still, NFS has to step up.

    You are most welcome, and I agree.  If the NFS franchise doesn't step up their game, they will end up becoming a distant nightmare.

    @eduardocampos192 I played FH 1-4 but didn't enjoy any of them(Except the European scenery of FH2.But not the gameplay)The series fixed after FH2. FH3/4 just added things a racing game should focus on-House/Clothes in FH4 and drone mode in FH3/4 are both example of PG lacks idea of what the core of an arcade racer is. I admit FH has way more cars than any NFS(Thanks to FM4 huge list)But they never step in right direction of innovation since FH3. FH2 was repetitive but alright since it's just a simple racing game with some collectibles like Barn Find. The continuous recycling is every more lethal than what Ghost is doing to NFS. I don't think FH will last long in the future
