DestideForza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed
Reisenthis may be a me problem but FH5 really didn’t do much for me. every game needing to be a forever game with unlimited constantly renewing stuff to do kinda sucks the fun out of single player games
and i don’t think this will be that much different in that regard even if japan sounds cool
bassomitronAgreed. FH4 and 5 are fun, but the monetization is obnoxious and it often felt clunky just to get into fun racing activities quickly.
Also the intro threw me off right away, at least in 4 there was still a veneer of you starting as a lowly pleb, 5 was just “YOU’RE THE SUPERSTAR!!!” right from second one and it was just patronising.
Turning off the dialigue so the cut scenes were just people standing around was the best improvement for me.
It’s not just you! Forza Horizon has been the main series of video game I looked forward to. I loved 3 and 4.
It didn’t take long for 5 to concentrate fully on the weekly bullshit and making the game more about puzzles than driving.
This is the first Horizon game in over a decade that I couldn’t care less about. It just feels like a sad shell of the previous games.
I remember seeing a cool driving thing to do only to be told “you need to pay X to do it”
Nah
FH5 was fun at first but agreed, the unending FOMO event system just kind of sucked the joy out of it awhile. Just let people play the game.
More importantly, though, just fuck the whole XBox/Microsoft gaming system in general. I was dumb enough to FH5 through the Microsoft store back when I had Windows, so I can’t install it on Linux.
And even if you buy it on another platform like Steam and sign in with the same account, it considers a “separate purchase/subscription” so none of your dlc or cars carry over. Just anti-consumer as fuck.
To make it worse, I found out the hard way that FH4 on Steam doesn’t have wheel support, so if I wanted to use a wheel (with full FFB support, not just a wheel pretending to be an Xbox controller), I had to re-buy on the Microsoft store.
Really, for most people, there’s not much reason to buy the new ones, except that they keep de-listing the old ones and making them impossible to buy.
Oh so that’s why I couldn’t get it working on fh4. Then again it was pretty awful to use a wheel on fh5.
Really, for most people, there’s not much reason to buy the new ones, except that they keep de-listing the old ones and making them impossible to buy.
Isn’t that because of music licenses or something? I wish they’d just patch those out for people who buy it after the licenses expire.
They also delist previous titles from stores. Forza 4 disappeared a while ago, 5 will be gone soon. Wouldn’t want anyone buying the older, cheaper, maybe better titles instead of the latest one.
Seeing the series’ progression so far, I just know microsoft will stuff it full of FOMO crap and monetization, as well as a lot of AI generated stuff ( which, admittedly, may not be all bad ). But still, I’m fairly excited for it.
Japan setting, something is be gonna blurry/censored. 😆
Why? The porn thing?
Exactly 😅

Given the sales success of Horizon 5 this one will probably be even worse, they will expand on everything bad that was Horizon 5.
Controversial take: FH5 is entertaining, and the weeklys are a challenge to knock out every time.
Except for when The Trial decides to run The Colossus as one of the races. I’ll just grind the 5pointers instead, it’s quicker.
I enjoyed FH5, but FH4 was better. 5 is the onky one I don’t actually own yet, I basically did everything at launch during a Gamepass trial. I plaued FH4 almost daily for like a year or more.
Ricky RigatoniDidn’t 5 just release this year? Why are we already talking about 6?
FH5 came out in 2021.
…what year is it
Atleast two years since covid-19
Fh5 was released on PlayStation this year. It was released on Xbox like 4 or 5 years ago
