Well there we go, 894/894. Another Forza title checked off with the maximum amount of unique cars owned.

Looking back on the FH5 years, I really liked the game and the map when it was just released, but the chore sure kicked in not so long after release. Both Hot Wheels and Rally Adventure couldn't really change that feeling, they were NOWHERE near close to the awesomeness of the Hot Wheels and Blizzard Mountain expansions for FH3.

The FH formula sure hasn't changed much since FH3 (especially if you don't care much about Event Lab) so I wonder if FH6 will bring anything new to the table. Looking at what Ivory Tower did with the Maui expansion for The Crew Motorfest (read: an actual MAIN MAP expansion) I honestly think this is a MUST for FH6 as well in the future.

Either way, FH5 coming to PS5 sure is a good thing. Even if it's just for making sure Ivory Tower has some competition on PS5/PS6 as well. ;)

Okay so I've completed the last playlist of the game (well...proper playlist!) I know that for most of you this is like an end of a era and its kind of like that for me, except I've still got two cars left to get.

I've mentioned on here before that I need the 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Station Wagon and the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser AT37, I even though I've played this game a lot in the last three year and rarely miss anything I still missed those two, I know that the AT37 was a 40 point reward on one playlist that I didn't complete and the Station Wagon was a 20 point reward on one of the Donut Media playlist that I only got 7 points from, yes I'm now kicking myself for not getting both!

I know I get get them also on the auction house but I have tried an none showed and I know they can turn up in the backstage shop and the playlist votes they are doing, its just something of a waiting game now.
 
Since it's time to wax lyrical.... I logged in to FH5 every single week from launch until this week, and completed at least 20 points on the seasonal playlist every week. I guess that behaviour will gradually slow down now... But since I still love the game I'll probably login regularly for years to come, just like with FH4.

In the beginning I missed a few seasonal 40pt cars while playing through the base game, but that was solved relatively quickly. I've been on 100% garage completion for ages now.

I'm at work so I can't double-check until I get home, but I'm pretty sure I got to 895 cars. I got the '32 Ford FE, the OPI Ford GT, and the Oreo Zonda (I bought a code off eBay.) I think those are the only three truly exclusive cars?

894 is the maximum if you got the 3 tie-in cars. Look at the post above from @breyzipp who also got all 3.

I am some way off maximum (about 840 cars) because I was burnt out by FOrza MOrizon halfway through and had to break off for a few months. Hopefully I can pick up the other cars bit by bit, maybe. Maybe not.

I joined FH4 late (in 2019) which means I have spent the last 5.5 years of my life feeling like I was doing almost nothing (gaming wise) but chores in 3 consecutive Forza games.

Now we've got to the (virtually) end of FH5 and with FOrza MOtorsport being the same FOMO ******** just with a different title, I am totally FOMO'd out and have to actually play games to enjoy them going forward.

That probably means jumping off FM23 for the foreseeable future (as a minimum until they actually add a career mode) and may mean skipping FH6 altogether on the basis it WILL be the same weekly chores-athon as FH4 and FH5 just on another map.

Otherwise, GamePass is single handedly getting too close to ending my gaming life altogether. I'm trying to fight that currently by playing Grid Legends which actually has a career mode [remember them? FH4, FH5 and FM23 players may not] and The Crew 2 (which is at least full of content now to do in my own time without obsessing with getting 20x4 points/completing 34 races of 8-10 minutes to "earn cars").

I can't play The Crew Motorsport yet because its also the same FOMO for now.

I think underneath there is a solid game somewhere in FH5 (although that's largely down to EventLab, the "career mode" at the start lasts what 8-10 hours?). Unfortunately, they've forced me to spend 2 hours x 3.5 years = 300+ HOURS doing FOMO chores. Which left precious little time for anything else, if I wanted to play more than one game at a time.

I need help team please. I cannot find Neon Tank in Playa Azul this week. Can anyone help me?

Cheers.

Edit: Found it. My son has just discovered it. How could I not find that? 🤦‍♂️

I always give up quickly on those location finding tasks and just consult internet :)

It's the big kid in me, I like finding Tanks lol.

Usually they're not too bad to find, but I really was stuck. I'd thought I'd ask the professionals.

Just got this week's car so that's me done too 😥. Unless anything changes I bow out on 892.

I suddenly realized why we never got the Ferrari Purosangue in FH5...

Forza would put it in the Sports Utility Heroes category alongside SUVs, but Ferrari doesn't want anyone calling it an Sports Utility Vehicle :banghead:

I think it's just more Ferrari being Ferrari. We haven't gotten any new Ferraris since... honestly it feels like since Year 1. We had more new Lambos than we've had new Ferraris.
 
I guess if you look at their car list, we are missing all the cars released since 2023 indeed.

The only things on the list below that we don't have are:
  • 2022 Purosangue
  • 2023 SF90 XX, F80, 12 Cilindri

I found the tank by looking at my map. There was a spot in Playa Azul where other players would appear or drive up to, pause, and then drive away or disappear from. I went there and found the tank.

Is it me or does it seem like it’s always night in Mexico, now? I know they said they were tweaking it to make nights last longer, but I feel like they’ve overdone it.
 
For the Horizon crowd, an interesting turn of events in the land of Forza Motorsport 2023: https://forza.net/news/forza-motorsport-update-17

Most of the cars in Update 17 are port-forwards from FH5, but the Hyundai i20 N (Hyundai's current representative in the World Rally Championship) and Elantra N (the road car version of the Elantra TCR we've had since Apex Allstars) are New-to-Forza cars landing in Motorsport first. If they come into Horizon with Horizon Realms, that might signal a move to South Korea for FH6. We'll have to keep our eyes open when the time comes.

Road Elantra N and i20 N are both cars I'd LOVED to have in Horizon. And now you can have them... in FM2023. In other words, only on the track. Even though they're road cars.

...on the flipside, I have yet to even try FM2023 due to certain factors cough launch. nuff said cough FH5 still getting updates, many of which actually killer cough meh FM2023 updates. Maybe this is my ticket for giving it a shot, who knows.

FM2025 is clearly not FM2023, you should try give it a chance.
 
This whole FOMO thing is extremely annoying....I still don't know if they have said that the events will be permanent. I still haven't purchased the Xbox Series X yet. (I know this comment should be in the FM23 section)
