Are you guys still entertained?

Its been nearly 5 months into the Forza Motorsports game, and i am wondering if any of you have gotten really bored of this game. I was bored 3 months in due to the lack of clubs & overall boards, but thats beside the point; Are we all still entertained?

I still greatly enjoy it, I don’t play for endless hours everyday, only every so often. But each time I do play, I enjoy myself a lot. just maybe that’s the key for me and my enjoyment, moderation of my time with it.

yes, my main focus is now to tune cars, especially non leaderboardcars and have fun. yeah but a shame that we are still miss a lot of new old features like club, own created lobbys, local or overall leaderboards etc…

Nope. Been bored for a while now. Open public lobbies would be the best news ever.

I’m entertained every minute I play this game. Sure, I’ve only had it since late January, but I still love racing career, some rivals racing, some public lobbies, but mainly creating liveries. Never a boring moment with Forza 5. :slight_smile:

Ofcourse there is only so much hot lapping one can do…

We need public custom lobbies… Badly…

I am not bored at all with Forza 5. I’m about 75% through the career. I absolutely love beating people online who are in LB cars & beating them with non-LB cars. Chop that up to there tune being off or bad driver. Whatever. I play about 2-4 hrs a day. Will play after work this evening. Looking forward to the next track download in June. That’s been on a 2 month cycle so far. Ready for the last car pass car pack in May. I will continue to enjoy Forza 5 with my thrustmaster tx. Looking forward to Project Cars as well (pending reviews and people thoughts on its physics & frame rate). I’m all about sim racing.

I’m more entertained than I was at the beginning.

The more I learn about tuning, the better I get at driving, and the more people I meet in lobbies, the better it gets.

I tend to Forza like this:

  1. Start the day tuning and running test laps to warm up

  2. Spend a little time in career mode (X class mainly, as my private lobby friends aren’t into X class)

  3. Alternate between private and public lobbies; meeting new people and engaging in lighthearted trash talk in the public lobbies and then moving on to clean, friendly racing in the private ones

If you really want to know how I feel, I just posted this topic recently:
I must be the luckiest Forza 5 player in the universe…

So, yes. I’m still entertained. Very much so. The more I learn, the better it gets.

Yep, I miss the online championships like TORA made possible by replays. I’m quite astounded by the lack of basic ‘racing’ features missing, like the results of a race! I’m already resigned to the fact it’ll be a long wait until FM6. I won’t be buying any content for this version, as much as I’ve loved the Forza franchise.

The race results from online are there. After pay out & XP/Affinity screens, the screen where you hit continue. It’s to the far right for race results.

For career, why does it matter? I don’t recall seeing it in career. You could hit start before you cross finish line to see what place the drivatars are. However, for me, I don’t care about race results in career mode. Kind of pointless. As long as I get gold (usually 1st on unbeatable), I could care less in career.

I’m bored tbh, I only really enjoy this game when I am in a race series now, without that the game just lacks the competitiveness and caters to casuals that play this game for a few months then stop.

Ditto … got the game and system Day One, and still enjoy the game immensely. I think the TX wheel and a PlaySeat help with getting immersed in the game, and slowly but surely adding friends who are clean racers makes MultiPlayer more compelling each time, despite the wreckers, which I consider part of the challenge of the game, and look for creative ways to avoid them on the track - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

I did about 75% of the career before venturing online, but there’s still quite a number of races to do when no-one’s around to play, and now that I have some friends on my list, I have Rivals to race against, which is trying sometimes, but the sense of achievement when I beat a Rival makes it worth while.

I don’t know how to tune, paint, or design liveries, and probably will only ever get into tuning in the future, as I have no artistic talent at all, but I consider at least half of the potential enjoyment in the game, even after five solid months, to be waiting to be discovered …

I didn’t had much artistic talent when I started designing fantasy liveries in FM3. I was so-so, but with more practice I became a lot better. You can’t say you can’t do anything good if you really haven’t tried.

I’m not just talking about Forza - I have no artistic talent period, and that’s from years of experience :wink:

Very much entertained, for every minute I’m playing. Missed one (1) day of play since Day 1, and that was because I was on a 3 day business trip.

Lets say it otherwise then :stuck_out_tongue:
Bored senseless.

Offline doesnt offer much challenge.
Online offer a bunch of aggressive players (Barely played since: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVu7cJQVaww)
About the only time I log, is to tune cars for other player.

seems like the really fast guys are generally rather bored, not sure if i i quite fit into that group but i am also bored, if it wasn’t for a few racing series i’m not sure how much i would be playing. not sure if its the crashers or how few and far between competitive lobbies have been but online racing, which is where i used to spend most of my time, has lost its luster

Still loving Forza 5, every minute of it. Especially since Fanatec’s have gotten back in the game :slight_smile:
