The storyline could be allot better.
If you ask me, there shouldn't have even been one.
It's a racing game, not a soap opera.

I haven't even tuned or driven all of the cars I've collected so far, and I only have 46 of them. I like most of the cars in the game so I have many more to go.But for cruising to be replayable, there really does need to be more roads and vehicles.

Annoyingly when they offer to de tune my car for the event I don't want it. I have my own b class tune. Why not let me put my tune on?
I have to go to Dax, select my tune then go back.
...NO HONDA CIVICS???!!! whats the crack with that.
If you actually had a racing career of any kind, you wouldn't be making millions of dollars running three lap sprints on international racing venues against 11 mostly-stock roadcars. Welcome to videogames?Also... If I were actually going to a music festival... I wouldn't be broke, and I wouldn't there to race. Feh! Poor story.

I do despise the whole target demographic, festival setting they wrapped around it. I thought a similar ploy wasn't received to well in Dirt 2.
I do wish you could customize your driver or at least if they had a few selections. Supposed you're an Asian female playing this game. It would have to suck to see your character as a fake Tom Cruise all the time.
Just saying that Horizon isn't the only racing game where you have to deal with playing as one character, whether you liked the person or not. It was the same thing with Midnight Club LA. And some NFS games too.
Every time one of the comically cliche characters talks, it makes me want to stop playing the game. The idiocy is just too pervasive as I can't even be allowed to roam around and sight-see without being accosted about not being in a race for 5 goddamn minutes. If only the game had some more audio controls so that I could mute them just like the awful music and turn the engine up then I would like the game a lot more. Thank god they let me skip at least some of the scenes.
I know some will think it's not that big of deal, but it's bothering me to the point that I'm reaching for the remote and muting my receiver as I enter a race just to avoid having to hear my character be referred to as "dawg" for the thirtieth time.
I personally wouldn't have minded slightly fewer cars if that meant a larger map. If it was around the same size as Ibiza I'd be extremely happy. It just seems to be too small for an open world racing game, particularly when compared to TDU.
Despite TDU's flaws, I still prefer it to Horizon because there's so much more to do and explore e.g. taking photographs to earn cash, finding wrecks, houses, hairdressers and far more roads, not to mention weather effects too.
Apart from simplified collisions, some improvements to aerodynamics and suspension modelling, and tweaks to the tire model, it's pulled straight from Forza 4. To me, it feels exactly like the transplant that it is, replete with the strengths and flaws of its donor.Did they take the physics engine from Forza 4 or did they use Driver's? Because it almost feels like a little of both.
I've been meaning to give Driver SF a whirl, I keep hearing good things about its driving model. I'm not sure I'd go for that "Shift" mechanic and the whole wacky storyline, though.
@Shouden
Do you mean Horizon's traffic? I'd understand what you mean if they're a suspiciously similar pool of cars.
I think people's disappointment in Horizon's "short life" stem from the lack of fanfare and lack of...anything once you beat the game. The repetitive radio DJ announcements and Alice's braindead nagging can make you feel like you're trapped in some sort of Groundhog Day. FM4 was just as bad on the conclusion of World Tour, with its inexplicable loop straight back to the beginning, but it doesn't pretend to have a "world" with characters in it.I've only just spanked the Darius and I'm disappointed by the lack of ceremony at the end of the game. This game sure was fun but there's not really much to do once all the discoveries have been made. I haven't completed the PR stunts at each outpost and I'm still 94.4%. I guess for me this was ultimately more of a snack to consume between instalments of Motorsport lol.
Yeah, the whole Quantum Leap aspect made me raise an eyebrow, but I'll have to give it a go when I get a chance. 👍The storyline in Driver is a bit weird...they made some of the interactions between Tanner and the passengers pretty funny. They get old sometimes, but it's still funny. Definitely worth a rent.
