Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[UKMikey]

So after a few months of GT7 I fired up FH5 on Series X again yesterday. The new Xbox Update showed me time played.
That was pretty confronting. 33 days and 12 hours.
Safe to say I go my money's worth.

Curious to hear your numbers?!

36 days, 10 hours and 54 minutes so far.

 

[Edax 76]

Away from home this week with work. I'll post my numbers at the weekend.

 

[sirjim73]

I have hardly played the game at all... 18d 23h 55m

 

[Stray Cat]

1836.6 hours according to Steam, that's 76.5 days.

Probably close to 2/3rds of that was spent making liveries and vinyls...of course, there were many times I simply left the game running by itself with the editor open while I went off for thirty minutes or so to eat so the number is a little inflated, but probably not by more than five, maybe ten hours over the past few years.

 

[skazz]

I'm on just over 21 days... So around 500 hours.

It's by far the most hours I've ever spent on a single car-related game, easily beating FH4, but you guys make it sound like I'm just dabbling

 

[MSZ]

295.7 hours according to Steam.

 

[Nacho Libre]

I've played 42.4 days.

I am expecting a High number from you as well!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. You may well be right bud.

 

[Johnny Caisse]

114.6 days here.

 

[-Fred-]

47 days, 15h and 3 minutes apparently. I thought it'd be more than that.

 

[Digolgrin]

I stopped at 1006 hours according to Steam. That's about 42 days, give or take, which tracks with how I used to play this as a weekend thing.

 

[Edax 76]

I've just used remote play to access my Xbox.

I've been playing FH5 for 78 days, 13 hours and 47 minutes.

Ah, you've got me beat. The only other games I've spent so much time on would be Gran Turismo 2 (building hybrids with my clunky old CDX back in the day), Morrowind, and Skyrim, in that order.

Lol. I use the game to wind down a lot. I quite often do The Goliath or Marathon in a random car to de-stress, with Radio Eterna on. My next closest would probably be Fallout 4 I think, although back in the day on PS1 I put a stupid amount of time into Final Fantasy 7.

Damn, a day and 5 hours more than me.

You've both got some impressive numbers there. 👍

 

[Seb75]

I got 67 days, 4h and 11m
I probably spend a year playing Civilization II on the PC in the 90s 😏

 

[Cloudy]

Dang, I'm surprised so many of you guys have me beat on playtime. Almost four years on, I still play this game from time to time despite reaching end-of-life and have completed pretty much everything I'd like to accomplish. 3 Stars on all PR stunts, 100%'d the campaign for the base game, Hot Wheels, and Rally Adventure, got all the bonus boards, made a couple of EventLabs, joined the GTPlanet club, learned how to tune to a very basic degree, and most importantly got all 902 cars. I'm eagerly waiting for Forza Horizon 6 as I'm sure we all are, but until then I'll just be driving some victory laps around Mexico.

Me 2. I was thinking today about what it is that I play this game that much. For me it is the open nature of doing whatever you want.

These days I can hardly put myself to finish long Single player stories. After a long day of work I don't want to be messing around with difficult puzzles to progress in a story.

What also helps is the quick loading times on the SSD. It is a great game to start if you have 20 minutes time before you need to do something else. In the past with FH4 on the One X I would not even bother. I think it took about 3 minutes to be able to play FH4....

FH5 is a great pick up and play for 20 minutes title, I totally agree bud. I played FH4 a hell of a lot also. I played FH4 on the One X and I never found the load times too bad. Admittedly it was never FH5 on Series X quick but it was never off putting for me.

Judging by the play times listed above...
You all need to get outside more...
You must be paler than Count Dracula!

20 minutes every weekend is hardly shut-in levels. It would've been more but I stopped going for playlist completion and stopped at forty points a week.

 

[Populuxe]

I kinda like this game.

Mate I'm a ginger kid. I've been paler than Dracula since birth, it's genetic 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

 

[Emick81]

Good Lord. 287 days.

And we are going to do it all over again with FH6.

Hopefully you're one of those daywalkers who can go out in daylight without being burned by the sun.

Unfortunately not mate. I have two colours, red and white. I've only ever really tanned once in my life. I was in Iraq 2005 and for some reason I tanned (I've worked in deserts since and never tanned). I just looked wrong, I looked like a photograph negative gone wrong lol.

 

[Fezzik]

Quoting this here as it shows FH5 still selling big on PS5 in May (I think it's reasonable to assume almost all sales will be PS5 at this point):

Perhaps not, at least in the US. It's jumped back into the Xbox top 10.

Ive been playing Horizon for a couple of weeks now(98 hours to be exact) and yesterday I noticed your driver avatar bops their head during Skill Songs. As a person who does that in real life, I find it hilarious and one of the best little details I've seen in a racing game in decades.
