This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
That option still exists. You can very well not claim any of the reward cars and progress through the game at your own natural pace.Am i the only person that misses when you started off with a relatively crappy car in racing games & progressed to better throughout. Everything is just handed to you these days. I guess the argument is 'you can use whatever car you want'. Racing games just felt more structured & rewarding when you had to work for better cars, races, car parts etc.
I've always been of the opinion that more options to choose how to play is a good thing. If someone can't resist the temptation of going down a path that will be less satisfying for them, that's their problem, their lack of self-discipline, not an issue with the game.That option still exists.

It doesn't entirely remove the temptation of course, but it isn't as black and white as "everything is handed to you these days" as there are other factors at play. The largest of which being time. This is the best way to get people into the game for immediate satisfaction and fun without having to spend hours obtaining the one (or several) car(s) someone wants.
I agree, it is rewarding. But it has many problems too. How do you achieve this type of progression? You can lock cars behind levels and make early races with low exp and low credits prizes. But than all those races become obsolete once you unlock the better ones.Am i the only person that misses when you started off with a relatively crappy car in racing games & progressed to better throughout.

Do you know if we had like Forza 2 on Xbox 360 and now I'm on pc, how am I going to to get it.That option still exists. You can very well not claim any of the reward cars and progress through the game at your own natural pace.

If you have an account over on Forzamotorsport.net then it will register what games you've played there.Do you know if we had like Forza 2 on Xbox 360 and now I'm on pc, how am I going to to get it.
Is there a way to check what games you have played (because I don't know if I'm in the right Microsoft account) or can you check what rewards I will get on Forza 5 release dayIf you have an account over on Forzamotorsport.net then it will register what games you've played there.
I can tell you that I recently switched to the pc and that I no longer own my xb1 and it still has records of what I played so I think you're alright. 👍Is there a way to check what games you have played (because I don't know if I'm in the right Microsoft account) or can you check what rewards I will get on Forza 5 release day
Try this site. It works for me. https://www.trueachievements.com/my-xbox-storyIs there a way to check what games you have played (because I don't know if I'm in the right Microsoft account) or can you check what rewards I will get on Forza 5 release day
I think your argument lacks a bit of nuance. Relying on players to treat every game as their sandbox as the ideal approach to gameplay is only a 'good thing' if it serves the intention of the game's design. As an extreme example, 'Grand Theft Auto IV' would not have benefited from giving the players millions of $$$ at the start, because it defeats the thematic elements of the game's narrative, ie. being a first generation immigrant in New York.I've always been of the opinion that more options to choose how to play is a good thing.

No. I installed them all on my Series X except FM5 and played Horizon 2 and 4 minutes before starting 5 (I also played 3 last week) but I only got the Senna.Just a heads up, started playing FH5 now and it only gave me the FH4 loyalty car (Senna). My strong guess is that it not based on gamesave but in game install (on disc console). Say this because I have played all the FH+FM games but only had installed FH4 on my Series X...
And have to play them before start FH5...
It appears to be linked to your XBL account, as I got the Viper (from playing FH on console), and the GT2 and Senna from FM7 and FH4 on PC.My strong guess is that it not based on gamesave but in game install (on disc console)
