It's also actually quite a short game in terms of single player content. I finished all the Road Races, Street Races, Rally and Offroad races within a week - so apart from the season content and speed traps, what is there to do? The addition of the Accolades to do a Road Race with each class is a nice addition but the rewards are minimal and won't take long to complete.Problem is not copycat of FH4, but overall quality. From 3rd instalment with minor changes we could expect better quality.
1) Ai is awful.
2) Storytelling is full of cliche and makes me feeling vicarious embarrassment.
3) Eliminator is buggy and unbalanced. Like ,it was totally Ok for free update, but its current state is unacceptable for 60$ game.
4)where is ranked? It should be default mode for multiplayer
5) Map design is bad. Instead of easily readable environment in FH4 we get totally random unbreakable trees and rocks in bushes. Mountain is awful. 2/3 of the map is boring desert and fields.
6) Carlist is FH4-30%. Like, there is still few hundreds of cars that were in FH3 and FM7, but isnt in FH4, why do you use same cars again?
7) We are two weeks from early access and still dont have hot fix.
It looks like only thing that they put effort into is single player campaign. If you want something more than that its disappointing.
If you get bored after doing 1 race at each track/route racing games probably aren't for you.It's also actually quite a short game in terms of single player content.

That is kinda the problem with Forza Horizon and open world racing games in general, the longevity of the game often depend on what you like doing in the game. The seasonal event is mostly just chore to unlock new stuff.It's also actually quite a short game in terms of single player content.

DeLorean was correct on my One X last I checked, so maybe it only affects certain platforms?It's on my OG XBox One, too. And the Citroën logo in place of the Delorean logo.
They are a bit stupid and don't add anything to the game at all. Nothing but theatrics to be honest.Just to put this out there... what's the point of Showcases? They're fully scripted, rubber-banded, borderline QTEs that you literally have to try to lose (and the AI will try really hard to stop you from losing).
Not that I disagree with your point, but the weekly playlists are just recycled stuff to do but this time you get an emote. Other than just something to bait completionists into doing, it doesn't provide anything new.It's too bad there's never going to be any user generated content, new vehicles, expansions, weekly playlists for years to come, etc. /s
I'm sort of at the same point he is and I'm someone who still enjoys going back to FM7 to just hot lap. I think all I have left are the "Story" missions as I've completed the main 4 areas & the Showcases. The speed traps, drift zones, etc. don't interest me enough to start going for them like previous titles. Thus, I've kind of reduced my time in the game so far, to avoid a burn out.If you get bored after doing 1 race at each track/route racing games probably aren't for you.
DeLorean also has the correct icon on my XSX (no Citroën).DeLorean was correct on my One X last I checked, so maybe it only affects certain platforms?
D class Elite accolade is impossible now due to all the stupid hacked times on the leaderboards.
I reported the top five on each one under Road Racing hoping it gets someone's attention.
I got a Cadillac CTS V today from a barn find gift.I love randomly getting gifted cars. Just got the Forza Editon Mercedes racing truck from a gift.![]()

I did D class elite yesterday on a street race, used the one that’s near the hotel area (a street race that does a section of the emerald circuit) on the west coast in a D500 tuned Porsche 914/6. Messed up quite a lot during the race but got top 5% first try anyway.
That was after trying many road races before (both point to point and circuit) where I could barely make top 10% most of the time.
I'll have to try both of these tonight. Thanks for the tips. The first few road racing events are full of cheaters and impossible times, I reported several last night.I managed to complete all the 5% Rivals challenges last night using one of the shortest Street Racing layouts, can't remember the name but it is located just north of the festival outpost:

All six classes done on the first attempt except 'D' (because I first tried it in a stock Mini, a terrible idea). All I did was find which car that I owned in each class had the highest speed figure, then auto-upgrade the car to the max level in the class.
My runs were very cautious to make sure I had a clean run and will be lucky to be in the top 50% once more players try to complete these challenges. This is definitely a good time to be completing these accolades.
They talked about using the Playlist to highlight community EventLab creations this time around. I think @Northstar's comment applies here though. If racing a circuit you've already tried with a different car is recycling, then why play racing games?Not that I disagree with your point, but the weekly playlists are just recycled stuff to do but this time you get an emote. Other than just something to bait completionists into doing, it doesn't provide anything new.
It's actually one of my bigger complaints for how FH4 was handled, and all the exclusive content locked behind "do this nonsensical race for the hundredth time to get the thing" really made the game a drag at times. I'd turn on the game thinking I'd relax and run a lap or two of Goliath, only to see some car I wanted locked behind some dumb cross country series in supercars, and by the time I was done winning the thing I just kinda lost my enthusiasm for it.
I thought they had a few user-created track championships in FH4, but I don't remember it being very common, but maybe I'm just forgetting. Would be nice to see them doing that a bit more so that the weekly grind doesn't feel so uninspired.
What a joke... Where is Forza?! So this game is a popular and critical success, I just can't understand.
Yeah it's always much, much more satisfying using something that isn't just the most overpowered vehicle for the course. It's too easy that way and I get no sense of accomplishment from it.View attachment 1094330
Not the cleanest run though, could probably go another 1-2 seconds quicker at least.
I think that's my last rivals update, these leaderboard cars are lame as hell![]()
I did a 2:54 time there last night in the Renault 4 Barn Find@Sutuki I popped your Bajio Trail time and accidentally put myself like, right near the top of the leaderboard.View attachment 1094297
My time's going to get absolutely flattened by the time everyone dives into rivals, but a little achievement like this is something!

It only worked if the unbuyable car was first on its manufacturer's list in the car collection screen, but yeah you could get some wheelspin-only cars that way provided you had the credits to buy them. Most of them are absurdly expensive though, so that was a bit of a limiting factor which likely kept it in check among those who did know about it.didn't even realize this was a thing.
