It’s less about people becoming conditioned to be addicted and more about people accepting it and realizing it more than likely will not change. Hidden and/or unlockable cars have ALWAYS been a think in Forza, since FM1, with the exception of FM5, I think. It’s just the methods that are used to obtain those cars that have changed.
Forza is still about the cars, but some people have laser focused on things like wheelspins and cosmetics and think that T10/PG is no longer a bunch of car enthusiasts.
Right because FM7 had locked cars and now they are all purchaseable means we should accept cars being locked and things will never change.
And the lack of enthusiasm for the cars shows in many many other places but I won’t sidetrack this thread.
The tag line used to be Where Dreams are Driven and Dan Greenawalt even chose a gamer tag after a biblical figure strongly linked to dreaming, but now its all about still dreaming about cars you won’t get to drive even in Forza.
If you play enough then eventually you’ll get all the cars.
I’m now on second prestige, I only really use half a dozen or so cars, though occasionally try out another or a novelty vehicle.
I had a look through my garage yesterday and compared it to the list of hard to get cars.
I’m missing 3 wheelspin exclusive cars which I’m sure I will get at some point
I would be missing one of the perk derived FE cars from the R390 but I got that with a trivial number of forzathon points and then grabbed the car cheap on AH knowing the perk would be spent.
The wheelspins are just a way of randomising cars so not every one has the same car at the same time and gives the chance, subject to scalpers, to buy cars you want but haven’t yet won.
Most of the cars drive similarly in a category and with upgrades and AI scaling there is no such thing as a must have car in this game, you can win in almost anything unless you mash the upgrades and tuning.
Really don’t see what the fuss is about, the model has always been you acquire cars by racing.
You still can’t buy FE in Forza or H3 for that matter. Not all are in the auction house. in F7. Not sure about H3 cause I got them as they were released. Something to look forward to. If they don’t fix the multiplayer in H4 I won’t care much longer.
