This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
When a game is good and "free" a lot of people will play it.By far the most popular car game today. As soon as I saw the FH2 trailer, I knew this franchise will become big, even bigger than Motorsport. Today, even bigger than GT and NFS.
And this matters how?When a game is good and "free" a lot of people will play it.
Weird, I can only play it by spending money. Am I doing it wrong?When a game is good and "free" a lot of people will play it.
You're right, a dollar is a dollar. My bad.Weird, I can only play it by spending money. Am I doing it wrong?
Oh gotcha, its free if you ignore the part where you have to spend money to play it.You're right, a dollar is a dollar. My bad.
I even put free is quotes. Hoped that would avoid misunderstandings.Oh gotcha, its free if you ignore the part where you have to spend money to play it.
Also, mine isn't a dollar, am I doing it wrong?
Yeah, not exactly sure what the quotation was supposed to change. Makes even less sense when you consider your quip after pointing it out.I even put free is quotes. Hoped that would avoid all the incoming BS.
I thought the GT side of the forum was defensive but this is heating up more than I expected.
The game is good and is easily/cheaply accessible. There is no reason why it wouldn't be hugely popular.Yeah, not exactly sure what the quotation was supposed to change. Makes even less sense when you consider your quip after pointing it out.
Similarly, Squid Games is free too as long as I pay for Netflix.
As for your quick edit about being defensive, I for one don't care for the game, and in fact find it to be very boring. Just felt like pointing out something that makes very little to no sense.
Weird, mine is not $1-3, am I doing it wrong?The game is good and is easily/cheaply accessible. There is no reason why it wouldn't be hugely popular.
I'm not sure why the "free" is such a point of contention when perpetual deals for $1-3/mo have been going on for about 3 years now.
Weird, mine is not $1-3, am I doing it wrong?
Yup, and that's because the constant mislabeling, intentionally or otherwise, of it at "$1-3" is only for a one time promotion and isn't exactly truthful. After that it reverts back to $10-15 depending on the option chosen. So if you only happen to play it within the window of the first month, then yeah the price is relatively small. If you think you're going to play the game for more than 4 months, it's smarter to just buy the game outright - especially if you aren't playing many other games on the Gamepass.Neither is mine, and I even bought mine at a discount because of a friend who works for Microsoft and gets access to the Friends and Family store. Granted, it was for a year..
I was able to follow what you were saying easily enough --- someone mentioned that it was bigger than NFS and GT.When a game is good and "free" a lot of people will play it.
So did I, but it didn't make it any more correct. Either way, no one said it was invalid(at least partially.) It was purely in snide, as you can see with the follow up comment when asked about it - especially considering that its not $1-3 either for any people besides the most newest of members to the service, either. The sentiment that it's a good popular game is a valid point, trying to quip that it's free isn't in any way whatsoever.I was able to follow what you were saying easily enough --- someone mentioned that it was bigger than NFS and GT.
Your response simply points out that being an exclusive game on Game Pass almost guarantees that there will be a larger player base.
FH was already on the rise beforehand, but what you wrote is still a valid point.
I don't get the anger at this comment. It seems like such an innocuous statement, including poking fun at the idea that Game Pass is free.When a game is good and "free" a lot of people will play it.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the comment it was responding to mentioned that Horizon is now bigger than GT and NfS. The response therefore has at least some implication that the reason Horizon is bigger than those games is because it's good, which is not really something that anyone needed pointing out. And because it's "free", which is vague enough that it can be interpreted pretty unkindly. It's hard to get a lot of nuance into such a short statement, and so people see whatever they think it is that the poster is trying to say. Even the responses didn't clear up much.I don't get the anger at this comment. It seems like such an innocuous statement, including poking fun at the idea that Game Pass is free.
Always someone to QQ no matter what. 😅When a game is good and "free" a lot of people will play it.
It's your opinion that is all. Doesn't matter if you're in minority or not. Although saying that is boring because there are no substance that doesn't make much sense. It definitely doesn't make it the truth.So I'm in the minority then with this game? I played about 2 hours and just quit, boring as hell. The graphics are great, but there just doesn't seem to be more substance in there for me.
I'm bot a fan of the driving, because I played FH4 to death and I don't feel it's that different (other than locale)It's your opinion that is all. Doesn't matter if you're in minority or not.

Let's look at FH2. The map is smaller but it's designed in a way to favor driving on roads rather than off roading. It has no story whatsoever and the only thing left after you have completed the one time last race is driving back to the next location to do the next championship. You would be surprised how many players think that the FH2 formula is not boring at all while still believe FH5 is a hollow/shallow experience.
I don't know what you looking in a racing game. For me handling is no.1, options (tod, weather, tuning..) are no.2, car list, AI is next, graphics and sounds next and the location(tracks) last. Story? I don't care. Now FH5 for me does everything listed better than the previous titles. Even if you say that the location is bad you still have the Event Lab which let you literally build your own track.
I'm in that same group too. I also feel like is not that different when you take the map out. But at the same time I just have no motivation to go back. Because I like racing in FH5 more.I'm bot a fan of the driving, because I played FH4 to death and I don't feel it's that different (other than locale)
Luckily I have it on GP, so I don't have buyers remorse or anything.
There was no anger involved, it was more so finding out the intent for a statement that is extremely commonly used to drag something down for little to no reason. Then the person doubled down on another thing that isn't entirely true either, that made it seem like the intent I originally questioned was correct.I don't get the anger at this comment. It seems like such an innocuous statement, including poking fun at the idea that Game Pass is free.
While I lasted a good bit longer than you, I don't entirely disagree. I shelved it mid December, about a month or so of playing. It's a fine game, but it's growing stale to me. Although, I think that's more racing in general lately rather than isolating the series as a whole.So I'm in the minority then with this game? I played about 2 hours and just quit, boring as hell.

If you are in India, GamePass was something like buy 1 get 7 months free not so long ago. I think both games are on there if it's an option for you.i want to buy forza horizon so which one i choose Forza Horizon 4 or 5
I've always found Horizon to be like this. It's great fun, but I play it for four to six weeks, do most of the stuff once and then I've had my fill. I come back for expansions for a few weeks and occasionally potter around in between but it's never been a game that I find myself engaged to play for years straight.While I lasted a good bit longer than you, I don't entirely disagree.
