Holiday Forzathon Shop deals end Jan. 2

Mostly what I think too, 4 and 5 easily sit bottom of my list for the series but either could be above/below the other, 5’s not completely without merit vs 4.

I’ve spent lots of time in Tour trying cars I might never have done which 4 doesn’t have, I prefer the change in driving physics in 5 (although that is something both games do better than the first 3 games) and online modes have been much more stable for me compared to 4, I don’t do the Trial or seasonal PG with a worry about a disconnection coming from nowhere being at the back of my mind anymore.

It would be 2023 by the time I’d finish if I did a full comparison and explained why I think they’re as bad as each other though.

FH4/5 need awd often. FM6 had some weird tune stuff with big front wheels, Mazda Cosmo esp.
fh5 has weird huge wheels in back pi tunes. Ugh.

This is why I completely laugh when someone calls FH or FM (in any form) closer to being a sim than arcade. The physics breaking setups are a blight on what could be a good game.

@NeubaumTurk_HK agreed, hard for me to even put Motorsport in the simcade category.

Horizon is an arcade game. You can drive a Porsche 917 straight up the side of a volcano in the snow. That’s an arcade game.

Maybe the new Motorsport will be more of a simcade. Maybe it will be more of FM7. Maybe monkeys will (content deleted).

I just hope every car doesn’t feel compelled to spin out instantly like they do in Motorsport 7, because jumping from Motorsport 4 straight into Motorsport 7 just felt awful.

F shop changes tomorrow again. Hope for interesting deals.
If you want to gift, do that first, then get one for self. I discovered buy for self, cannot gift.

Is it a 24 hour limit on gifting these shop-vehicles ?
I couldn’t gift my Son the Jaguar or the Ferrari earlier. He hasn’t either vehicle in his collection.
Do I wait until later ?

You can only gift one car, and if his name dont come up press cancel until it does. Make sure you are friends also :blush:

there’s 1 day, 20 hours, 5 minutes left as I type this

I think the theory is it’ll work as long as that market is in Mulegé . . .

. . . but . . .

. . . there is of course the matter of whether it goes on to work correctly with the recipient getting a car in their garage . . .

Somebody was mentioning don’t buy for yourself first as it counts as a “gift” and then you can’t actually gift to anyone else. And of course iirc (and you probably are) you need to do the gifting magic through the Wonderland entry to the FS or friends don’t show up/gifting isn’t an option for some… “reasons”… and for similar “reasons” said gifts can only be collected through the nearby “Gift” icon on the map… joy, it’s almost over :wink:

Good luck getting the car(s) delivered ! :+1:

Yeah, coding a system to reliably associate a database record with user B instead of user A…

I got the cars from the playlist menu but even then it still had the “gift” option. I didn’t try it, though, does it just fail?

Not here.
Part of the “surprise and delight”, but we’re waist deep in surprise. :person_shrugging:t2::man_facepalming:t2:

Well I for one am struggling to breath with “surprise and delight”, but I guess my head has probably just sunk that far down at this point…

I thought I’d seen some comment to that effect somewhere, and of the two I gifted to a friend the one that was “delivered” but never arrived was that route. But who knows, it could just be random bugs.

Would have been nice to see the SVJ and 20 GTR in the shop for Christmas and new years rather than wheelspin cars, or at least in addition to them. Particularly unappealing (or completely negative?) to continue having autoshow cars for special occasions let alone weekly. Hmm. In 4 the Portofino is 100 points this week if anyone’s curious.

again, the thing I really don’t get is that it was bugged one year ago, then the same bug reappears and there’s complete, deafening silence

That would be remarkable probably never. :person_shrugging:t2:
Other than that, Happy New Years/Feliz Año Nuevo.

Terrible choices, as always.
