I have to agree on not wanting a HW and/or LEGO Expansions, they were fun back on its day, but Horizon 6 claims for something new, fresh, and...something that connects with the location, people have been expecting Japan for the longest time, so if the expansions happen to be a cheap tie-in with any brand that would work on literally any location in the planet, it's definitely a big miss.

The LEGO collab worries me since a 3rd Hot Wheels expansion would be a joke at this point, but...a 2nd LEGO expansion is definitely something I can see happening, to make it even with HW. We'll see...
Yeah, I'd much prefer to see content that relates to the location. Neither LEGO nor HW interest me tbh.
 
Just in general I’d really like to know how the community feels about drifting in FH, because the only time I read about it is when people complain about it.

Hate it personally. Mostly because it’s not about pulling off cool drifts around corners, but waggling around on straights like a moron.

So my impression is the focus they put on drifting is maybe not really justified.
I agree that the straight parts of drift zones are a pain and the dirt/gravel drift zones are a pain too. I like drifting IRL and I drift for fun in free roam. I do actually enjoy the drift Stunt Parties since there’s an incentive to not only get a high score but also to get them done quickly instead of dragging them out to squeeze in as many tiny drifts as you possibly can. I feel like they could increase the point bonuses for drifting at higher speeds, although I do find myself getting 3 stars and/or setting personal records for drift zones during Stunt Parties on occasion, so maybe I’m just doing the drift zones the wrong way when I drag them out and do lots of small drifts.

On tarmac I actually quite enjoy it, it helps a ton if you get a nice drift-formula car from wheelspins to do the drift zones (I got the Ferrari from one early doors and it was a 9/10 straight out of the box). It doesn't take forensic-level tuning to cook one up from scratch either, so much so I'm making a selection for online drift championships although that's due in part to grievances I have with standard play sessions (that'll be for another post).

The dirt road drift zones on the other hand can absolutely do one, it was such a chore getting those done.
 
Well, that's strange. I... don't think that's the right car. In fact, it isn't even in the game AFAIK :lol:

Yup, there's a mod out there that swaps the M2 with a M140i. Models are client-side so what if you buy it you'll simply get a white M2, but images are generated by the game uploading the UGC so it captures how it looks for that player.

I love moddability in games but I think having it leak into the online side like this is pretty bad. Things like this should be kept very strictly offline IMO - too much cheat or crash potential with mismatched assets.
 
Uninstalled it. I really, REALLY wanted to like it but I can't get into a game where you're thrown million dollar hypercars before getting your first wristband ;( I miss Horizon 1 Progression
But you can't use the million dollar hypercars to get your first wristband... :confused:
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 :D. If you enjoy it, great ! keep playin'
DLC cars don’t feel earned? You freaking paid actual money for them! Why did you buy them if you didn’t want them?! Why not just delete them from your garage? Anyhow, this is not the appropriate thread for your continued moaning considering nothing you said involved actually playing the game that day.
The irony seems lost on you - with that logic, every car should already be in your garage from day one because you paid for the game, right? Why even have credits? or XP bonuses?! FOMO events!? Auction house?!?! ;) S o r r y for preferring a sense of progression/achievement in games a different way to somebody else ha ha

Apparently this poster thinks that Treasure Cars being rare finds and DLC cars being free hurts the progression of the game even though you can't use them in wristband races. :confused:

He doesn’t understand that people buy games to play and people buy DLC to download and be able to use in the game without having to jump through hoops to use what they paid extra for. An expansion would include exclusive rewards that need to be earned but having to use in game credits to use paid car packs would cause a negative reaction from basically every player except him. Then asserting that optional paid DLC ruined the game for him tells me that he has no one but himself to blame for the game’s progression being ruined.

Apparently he was expecting to find Gran Turismo’s “the real driving simulator” quirks in a Forza Horizon game, like cars you might actually find in a barn IRL instead of usual FH barn finds that are cars more likely to be found in museums. Either that or he’s some sort of gaming masochist.

I like the barn finds the way they are and my only complaint is that I can’t buy more of the barn find cars because they’re typically cars I like enough to want to buy multiple of.

I wonder if he’ll actually reply now that it’s in a more appropriate thread but I doubt he was actually interested in having a discussion.
