If they’d put multiplayer lobbies in the paid DLC, people would whinge about gated off multiplayer content - doubly so if the DLC lobbies were sparsely populated.
[Mod Edit/Removed - we already have a discussion thread on LEGO, let’s keep this thread on topic - MM]
On FH3 we had multiplayer lobbies on Blizzard Mountain & Hot Wheels. I spent quite a few hours in both.
I raised a support ticket when Forgotten Island was released noting there was no multiplayer lobby and when was it due to be implemented. To date haven’t received a response on that one.
This is where a definite piece of expected functionality has been removed. This is the main reason I won’t be pre-ordering FH5. I can just play the freebie version on game pass and ignore any DLC as after the limited content it gets stale without multiplayer.
I also find FH4 empty without interaction with other players. They should have given us the option to be ghosted or not around other players. (Oops, going off topic).
I’m curious if H5 will even be available on gamepass with all the negative feedback H4 has received. Of course it has been given a lot of praise too so who knows.
In keeping on topic it is very strange to see no MP on either expansion. I 1st started playing MP on H2 and found the mainland to be a bashfest extravaganza. Once Storm Island released my friends and I only played over there because it was all off road and there wasn’t many barriers to save awful drivers. In H3 Blizzard Mountain became where we always played. I was hoping Fortune Island would be that place to avoid the knuckleheads but no MP. Pfffffft!
Yep. This and Fortune Island might as well be separate, single player games.
Without multiplayer, I’ll run all the races once or twice and never again. 2 days of content, just like FI.
How hard would it be to give everyone all the tracks for multiplayer only? That’d solve the fragmented tiny player base issue.
My first and last forza game for sure. Such a sad waste of a great engine and license.
Playground games has consistently been disappointing with this game from this to, taking forever to fix bugs, making online playable, almost every speed trap leaderboard is cheated/glitched and not even acknowledging some bugs (no game chat on PC) thread is over 30 pages long. In hindsight I wouldn’t have even bought this game let alone the ultimate edition
This expansion like the last will take a few hours to do everything and then there will be no reason to come back
Thanks for the replies everyone. I’ll add that the “playground games” like king and infected are also missing from the FH4 DLC packs. These game modes were present in the FH3 DLC packs. It is quite odd that PG built a stunt park which would be perfect for playground games too.
I am hoping to get a discussion going on the support page on this topic and I’ll update here if anything comes of it.
Perhaps multiplayer is not actually as popular as it once was? No one on twitter seems to be discussing this topic.
For me, multiplayer is the only reason I play these games.
I suggest all players let PG know that we want multiplayer lobbies in all content. There is still time to add this to both DLCs. FH4 is an amazing game when it comes to graphics, physics and environment. Now just let us play the game online with other players in a 12 player lobby!!! And we want custom routes included.
You can submit a ticket here as a “suggestion and feeback”. PG can take a while to respond but they do.
Hey y’all!! So the lego expansion came out and i was wondering, before buying it, if online adventure is available or not.
I hope it is because i think that that beach and airport look like amazing places for playground games.
