In Defense Of "Silly" Cars

1. It’s not a good fit for the theme It just seems out-of-place and can break immersion.

2. It can also be a big let-down when people have been waiting months/years for iconic cars to be added to the game/series only to instead get silly cars

3. When people take silly cars into open lobbies they can have an greater tendency to ruin races

All of these are good points.

1. To tackle the first part, I never really thought of Forza as that serious of a title, & as someone who races almost entirely using freeplay, I can usually find restrctions that keep silly cars out when I’m not in the mood. (would be nicer if there was another, easier way to do this cough cough) So I suppose if people take the game that serious then this makes sense, however I reserve that level of seriousness to actual sim-games. Simcades like Forza are still meant to be “video gamey” though, so sometimes it’s fun to do ridiculous things people would only do in video games.

2. I agree. It was really annoying in FM7 buying DLCs just to have mostly useless off-roaders and SUVs added. That’s why I clarified that I’d like a robust car list that covers its bases before going into the more silly things.

3. In FM7 most silly cars were banned online. I’d like to keep it that way with the exception of private lobbies.
