I find this game extremely boring. The main reason I’ve been playing the Forza series is because of the livery editor. I’ve been painting since Forza 2, and I’ve gotten quite decent at it. The thing is, I didn’t just do it for the fun, or the recognition of it, it was my main source of income in the last games. Now, racing is fine and all, but career is boring to race since it’s so easy, and multiplayer is just plain annoying, that and considering I really only get Sunday and Monday to play, it’s kind f difficult to get a good stream of money going. Now I cash in the rewards once a month, but they don’t normally last too long. It just seems this game has no souls to it, without all the social areas missing. I really don’t understand the reasoning behind trying to maintain the economy of a game. Are there really people out there who care how much money you have, and where you gained it from? Now outright gitching is obviously deplorable, but to go as far as taking out the storefront, and the auction house because you couldn’t maintain a few glitchers here and there, it’s a bit far.
I don’t like to draw conclusions, but this game feels really rushed, and lacking. It’s a good possibility it’s Microsoft’s fault because they wanted it as a launch title. I like the game, I just find it hard to play for more than thirty minutes at a time, but maybe it’s just me.
It is just you. I have had this game since Day One and probably play it at least 3 days out of the week. But my friends and I don’t get bored because we mix it up a bit. We do little Top Gear like challenges a lot. Build a car with certain spec requirements for a certain price and compare them. It’s a lot of fun. You should try it out sometime.
Bored like you A JT,its the short races,crash fest drivatars,and same tracks over and over. I like the game,really i do,there just needs to be more of it!
There are 14 (give or take a couple) circuits with their variations and roughly 300 cars with DLC.
They give you the tools and the framework of the game, it’s up to you to make of it what you will.
I race online a lot, but when I’m bored of that I usually hit Rivals mode. Even beyond that, if I’m craving something different, I will pick a car, any car, and drive it stock. I record the times of each stock car on my favorite tracks in a notebook. Does this give me community bragging rights? No. I do it purely for my own enjoyment.
In life, I own only one car. I drive it every day to and from wherever I need to go. If I were to buy another car with the intention of competing in motorsport of some sort, I would be limited to a car I can afford and the circuits and events that are geographically close to me.
Forza allows you to maintain a fleet of vehicles and drive them in many configurations around some of the most iconic tracks in the world. You don’t even have to pay for gas. Pretty awesome, if you ask me.
I have had the game since December and I still play it every single day.
turn ten started working on fm5 at the same time they started fm4. forza vista was putting fm5 content into fm4. turn ten had over 800 people working on it and alot of sub contractors. there was no reason for it to be rushed, fm4 wasn’t and it was done in half the time. fm5 is exactly what dan wanted it to be. dont believe me? would you believe dan? Turn 10 - Forza Motorsport Interview - Dan Greenawalt & Alan Hartman by ISR - YouTube all the “1st game” and blaming ms needs to stop. ms pretty much gives dan free reign over making the game, they just control the legal and marketing. fm5 is what it is, and it was designed to be that intentionally.
and you do know they were designing a lot of this game without even having the console to test a lot of it on right? so a lot of it i would guess had to be changed last minute to make it work with the final product.
i really do wish everyone could have seen what we saw on our visit there. it would blow you away with that goes into this
Sitting in a room running virtual cars around and around like hamsters on a wheel can get boring quick. Who cares who the fastest hamster is? In the end they’re all going nowhere so what does it matter who gets there first? I still race daily because luckily for me I hate myself just enough.
All fine & dandy saying they told us what was in it from the off, what about keeping quiet about the glaring ommisions of basic features from previous titles that made 5 seem like a big bug riddled demo?
Remember as well that MS did a Uturn on how the console would operate and be used in the weeks before launch, only T10 knows how that would have impacted on the game.
They changed the fact that the console had to be “always connected” and would look to see you own the game, the U-Turn would have had no impact of affect on a Developers content or game in the lead up to the launch, the game would launch exactly the same it was the system software that was changed to scrub the online checks
the cloud is just a server. the one went back to x86 64 architecture. its basically a mid range pc other than the embedded sdram which doesn’t interface with the could at all or it would lose its speed and reason for existing. the reason online only was scrapped wasn’t because people didn’t know, its that alot was leaked and too many did know. watch the build conferences. alot of developers were making software, not just turn ten. they all had to know. some of them talked.
when a game really needs online you know it. mmorpgs would be a totally different experience with only npcs. if you lose your connection in an online race you instantly notice going back to the dashboard or lobby. there is no hiding it. then there are games that are online only strictly for drm even tho the developer’s claims that it is needed. the last sim city is an example of that. if forza were ever designed to be online only they wouldn’t have put so much effort into the drivatar, they wouldn’t have been needed if you were going to be going against reall drives all the time anyway.
but mostly because of fm 1-4 unless the cloud was there all along even off line since alot of 360s and original xboxes were off line only.
Microsoft should have stuck to their guns…or at least not made the announcement about the One… dead in the middle of the Snowden story. Talk about bad marketing ^^ Pity about it all is, Kinect is pretty much a mess…Now we hear of a google glass esque vr device coming from Microsoft…really have to wonder whats going on over there…
