Indeed, IMO nothing feels earned though; ie. starter car(s) aren't stock, and you receive three of them modified. DLC cars are (still) just added to the garage rather than having to purchase them, barn finds off the bat are rare cars, rather than just some random 'niche' cars etc. Not my jam and mayo unfortunately
I mentioned what I was expecting - FH1-style progression; Devs seemed to insinuate you were a 'nobody' entering into Horizon Festival, much like the legacy times. Great, I thought. Seems clear as mud to me; All I said was I missed Horizon 1's sense of progression and I don't dig games that hand you everything on a silver platter from the get-go, so I uninstalled it, unsure how that's 'rage quitting' but you do you boo

. If you enjoy it, great ! keep playin'
