Pricing on this is something else, man. 70€ base, 100€ deluxe, 120€ for the premium. And they moved most of content into the premium tier. The only difference btw the 70 and the 100 € versions is the car pass ( which could act as a huge car pack as in the past they had a couple dozen cars ). Also the premium tier does not include future car packs ( which may be fair but i have a feeling they will nickle and dime us for cars already present in FH4/FH5 ). There’s a good chance the game will be good, but you can also bet MS will squeeze us dry.
Hard pass. After playing FH5 and leaving for a few months only to be locked out of races and stuff I had access to at the start of the game due dlc coming out and locking you out unless you paid for the content that we already had access too. No thanks. I’ll sail the seas.
When did that happen? I thought the paid DLCs were the Hot Wheels and Rally expansions, plus the car packs. I don’t remember them locking out previously free content, unless that happened within the last year or two since I stopped playing…
They’re lying or somehow completely misinterpreted what they saw in game. At no point did they lock base game content behind another paywall.
I honestly don’t remember. When I saw I was locked out of content I uninstalled and never buying another game or using PC Xbox Game pass.
based on past versions, is this one gonna be 1TB? /j
OPTIMIZING SHADERS
Looks cool but only going to play it when, it is 🏴☠️. I refuse to pay so much and then to be forced to get th DLCs for even more money. If it won’t be 🏴☠️ then I simply will not play the game.
i want a shitbox simulator, drive a rusted honda civic, without trunk cover with holes in the exhaust
Youre in luck
The Long Drive
One of the most hilarious yet endearing games ive played in the past 5 years. I keep coming back to it!
Snow tunnel looks cool.
Looks just like Horizon 5. :D But in Japan setting off course, which is very interesting to me. Its one of the few Microsoft IPs that do well in recent history.
Here’s hoping they have more than three blocks of city streets to race on…
I played the first game, I think, it was fun… Itching for some arcade-ish racing. Does the new entries have paid DLC cars, gated progression or any shit like that?
If anything, I feel like it’s the exact opposite? You can’t drive more than 50 meters without the game gifting you a new car or some shit.
I stopped playing FH3 because of that lol
Don’t know if the new games introduced gated progression though.FH3 onwards these games were full of DLCs, special editions, VIP status for faster progression, live service content, fomo mechanics, gambling, etc pp
The “story”, “writing” and “characters” are also painfully bad. Cutscenes arent skippable. You can mute those bland corporate written assholes though.
Gameplaywise it isnt a nice little campaign like in FH1. Its more like a sandbox where the game shits out a new car for you at every given moment but desireable cars are locked behind seasonal/weekly events and grinding. then the map gets clogged up really fast in thousands of races and other activities which you can do however you feel like. If your after a more guided experience your out of luck.
Still pretty solid games with great artstyle, tons of cars, very good driving physics, tons of content etc.
But after the Forza Motorsport 2023 desaster i dont trust Microslops marketing one bit. Playground Games’ track record is still pretty good and they overtook Turn10 a long time ago. But i’m going to wait it out until the honeymoon phase wears off and the more critical opinions start to appear.
Thank for the thoughtful answer! Kind of sad to all that FOMO in every single AAA game. Will wait for a demo and see.
I played FH4 and progression was quite easy I had good cars and cool cars early on but there were still cars to grind for.
I see, thanks!
Autozam AZ-1 my beloved
You know what a fun game is that works perfectly and doesnt require online data stealing accounts and dlc bullshit on unfinished games?
