Current Events > Forza Horizon 4 is pretty fun, didn't think I'd like it but I do.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Didn't play it much after downloading it over a year ago, I had a code for it that came with my Xbox one. My brother played it more than I did when he'd visit or stay for the weekend.

I started playing it about 3 months ago, it's pretty fun to play. I just like collecting cars more than anything but racing against airboats,trains, fighter jets and dirt bikes for show case events is fun as hell. I also love the designs for the vehicles that other users come up with.

I have 4 different vehicles with the Jurrasic Park logo and colors on them along with the Jurrasic World logo on one of my trucks. I don't know how the fuck they make the designs but they're cool as hell.

Yeah, really addictive series. There's a ridiculous amount of content in there to keep you occupied for months. It was difficult for me to finally stop playing it and move on to other games.

Forza Horizon games were so good it basically killed the arcade racing genre.

---

Yeah they're fantastic games. So much fun and they're just chill games to play.

This. I miss the Burnout series in particular. Horizon games are close enough to dull the need, but not silly enough to ever fill the void properly.

I liked it tooooooo

I love listening to the music and drive more than anything,especially driving offroad and hitting those huge jumps.

Console maybe but racing games are still being made for arcades. Plus Mario Kart is still around, those are the definition of arcade racing

Literally the only racing series I enjoy. It's damn near perfect for someone like me who generally hates racing and driving segments in games.

Forza Horizon 5 is out in November and it's on Game Pass day one.

I love how some daily and weekly challenges are references to movies,anime and TV shows.

One recent drift challenge was called Initial Drift, an obvious reference to Initial D. Then before that there was "Tuna on Wheat", a reference to the first Fast and Furious movie.

You are now aware that the last new Mario Kart game was made almost 10 years ago.

That may be but arcade racers are still being made

I'm excited for Horizon 5. I skipped 4. Gonna bust out my ol racing wheel as well.

I also want to get decent a drifting. I used to ignore those events.

Are racing wheels still expensive as hell?

It's just too busy with icons

you can filter them

This, I only do that when I'm looking for a specific event.

Thanks to a buddy of mine who plays as well, I figured out the tuning relatively quick. I have so many vehicles set for offroad, it's ridiculous.

Well, in Mario Kart's case, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe killed Mario Kart (for now), not Forza Horizon. Deluxe is a case of a game that did too well, up there with GTAV and Skyrim. Games that make a company lazy because why invest capital in another game when your current game that you already put the money into is still selling millions.

Not to mention, now that the Switch has consolidated the handheld/home console market for Nintendo, we're going to see a lot less games overall. When Nintendo had a handheld and console system, of course they'd want to make a game solely for each one. A Mario Kart 9 would have been made quite a bit ago if there was a handheld for them to put it on.

I wanted to try a racing wheel at some point but I have bad shoulders and my arms would get worn out :(

---

I loved the whole series... except 4.
I don't know exactly why, it's just... It doesn't... FEEL right for some reason.
Not shiting on the improved driving mechanics either.
It's indescribable.
As Clarkson would say, "there's no fizz"

I get that. I think it's just that the treadmill they have you on in terms of getting cars and rewards felt a little too obvious? Addictive still, but

It runs beautifully on the Series X, too, felt like a whole new game.

I'd rather get Forza Motorsport 8 before Horizon 5, but still looking forward to it.

---

Forza Horizon 4 was the first game in the series that I played. Lots of fun and the event races are crazy.

The handling is closer to a racing sim than other arcade racers, but I'm still very much looking forward to playing Horizon 5. I like that 5 has more customization and I'm hoping they let us choose the seasons lol.

---

I'm playing on Game Pass and I have a bunch of preorder cars and stuff so I was already doing S races like..3 hours in.

I'm using the Aventador PO right now and it's ridiculous for drifting with the no wheel spin perk.
