Long story short - Forza has more cars that I like and I would want to drive with a remote since a racing wheel and pedals and a dedicated racing seat is not an option.
I remember first clicking on mygt.net on the car list in Forza 4 and seeing ALL the BMW's (e34 M5 both pre and facelift), M1 (never released!!!!!), 850i, e30 M3 i think and all that.
I only wish there was more 90s Audis and MBs like even the W140 S-class and the coupe C140 AMG versions perhaps, then the 90's Audi RS2, RS4, RS6 all of them. but they do have those Audis from the early 00's so that is also very very cool.
Also, SO many DLC packs.
with GT5 we have gotten THREE dlc packs with cars. thats it. all. You got 1000+ with Your game, what do You want, MORE? go and be happy with Your 60 skylines, 40 mx-5's, 45 rx-7's and happy when You finally get your Audi Quattro '82 or Bmw 2002 Turbo '73. or Daihatsu Midget Type-II '98. it was such a funny car that it was just cool to own something like that.a spare wheel right down windscreen. same place where cars USUALLY have BADGES'N'SHIZ, the midget had a spare wheel. ok thats it.
I cant deny i have MANY happy memories with GT but its mostly with GT3 (i was like 14-16 then, GT4 demo was a big deal 1-series BMW both 120i and 120d on a random track, i remember i got that off the net and it fit on a regular 700mb cd-r heh, it prolly got gave out in the japanese bmw dealerships or maybe in the u.s. aswell but def. not here in Estonia. so i just downloaded the version for my ps2 and played it. and then came the fine March day when it was finally time for Gran Turismo 4. I drove my car straight to the store that i knew had it on the first day it got released in EU, got there, payed the exact amount, and went into my car (Mitsubishi Galant 1991, hatchback, 5-door. same body as on the Mitsubishi Galant 4X4 VR4 Turbo '89 which was a rally beast back then, though
also available in gt4/gt5). and i drove home and put it in my ps2. and the fun started. i really-REALLY had a good time with gt4 and it is WITHOUT A DOUBT the best GT game made.
GT5 had such high expectations that they were not impossible to fill but they failed soooo hard and it really looks even 2 years since release that they STILL dont care which means, that was what they were meaning GT5 was supposed to be - which is, absolute ********!
They have, in MY humble opinion, completely screwed up the whole series and defecated on the previous games with this "monster" they had the audacity to name GRAN TURISMO 5. i mean, why not just release it 5 years later than they promised ok we know they do that always, and name it Gran Turismo Online so it would not have been such a HUGE waiting and such a HUGE letdown. hardcore fans wouldve still bought it first day or pre-ordered it the first chance they got. and they couldve let the GRAN TURISMO 5 name for PlayStation 4 when it gets released and they have time to make themselves at home with that hardware.
1 thing is 4SURE: POLYPHONY NEEDS to hire 10-20 AMERICANS and 3-5 EUROPEANS to their team as well. from all the footage ive seen its 101% JAPANESE. how can they EVER think of trying to make a game for the WORLD? are they CRAZY? if we look back at WWII, then Yes, they are. but, really, the head honcho kukumuri haihuchu or whatever, the talk he talks, its not what a head of Polyphony Digital, head of GT-series should talk. this game lives a nice life in JP and i have no doubt they give their own people DLC's every week with JP cars throughout history not missing even 1 NISSAN or TOYOTA or HONDA and thats fine. but its JP. and im through with it.
now that ive introduced myself somewhat (hehe), i have only one big and burning question i need answered (and then some more not so big and burning ones) and i thought, why not ask them in this forum, where I will GUARANTEED, for sure, get the most detailed and honest answer?
Looking at the Car List of Forza 4 - how many cars are there that I WONT be able to enjoy?
Meaning, how many are such total EXCLUSIVES that they came only if you bought it from GAMESTOP, or if you preordered it from amazon, or etc etc.
How many DLC packs are available right now for me to buy as a European who plans to join Xbox Live the second I get my console.
I dont know if Estonia is on 'the list' - its not in the PS Network so i chose the closest country and people to me, Finland - and if necessary, i'll do it again with Xbox Live. But I want to be a part of the live experience and definitely buy ALL the DLC packs if only they are still available.
So, in concl. , How many DLC Packs from FORZA 4 are still available to a new Xbox owner and Forza 4 owner?
Does Xbox Live Marketplace work on real money meaning credit cards etc. only or can I also buy it with "points" meaning I buy a lets say 100$ card from a store in my country and enter the code that i got for the 100$ i paid, and i can transfer it to my account on the marketplace?
thats how it is on psn and i love it because if it were not for this i wouldnt be able to buy ANYTHING from PSN because im registered as a Finland user and they would automatically say sorry but You're registered in Finland and You are trying to pay from Estonia. Not possible, sorry.
In conclusion, how does the MARKETPLACE work? are there various options for various people around the world or how would it be possible for a NorthWest European like me to buy ALL DLC packs for Forza 4 that is possible.
Final and the most less important question - Is Kinect a necessary 'thing'/add-on to enjoy Forza 4? I, myself dont really think so, what about You?
I Thank YOU for taking the time to read my maybe hectic or at times 'babbling' text, English is my 3rd language with Estonian/Russian being 1st and 2nd (i cant write in Russian, though, only speak) but I feel that my writing in English is pretty good, meaning the correct "appearence" although sometimes my sentences might seem goofy, the words are 99.5% correctly written. It's from reading on the internet from a VERY young age and playing games on PS, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox360 (now gone but will buy one again).
I had a 360 for only 3 months from EU launch date to 3 months later when I sold it (didnt even know about Forza back then, and even if i did, i wouldve said, hahahha, yeah right, GRAN TURISMO 5 is gonna blow ANY racing simulation AWAYYYYYY. well yeah, its still blowing itself away with a real annoying sound.
I await all the responses from You, ANY information is VERY VERY much appreciated, answers to my questions or information in general, i welcome ALL contact.
