Why?

The negatives:

  1. No Ranked
  2. Bugs… far too may of them like cannot complete accolades or festival playlist dailies
  3. Inclusion of Eliminator in festival playlist. It’s bugged too.
  4. Low amount of cars than FH4 at start. I expected them to include minimum 700 cars
  5. Random Performance issues even on RTX 3080
  6. Blatantly cheating AI
  7. Night looks really pretty but it barely lasts few seconds. Maybe 10-20 seconds tops in freeroam. This is a dumb decision.
  8. Server issues. It feels less people are playing with me in same session.
  9. Tedious Festival Playlist compared to FH4

Few good things FH5 does better compared to previous FH games:

  1. Great lighting
  2. Great fog effects during night street races.
  3. Love new tires and brake system
  4. Like Arcade but it needs usability updates
  5. Some tracks are really good and very technical.

PS: Another observation is why do clouds move like there is a Category 7 hurricane in the sky? This exaggerated fast cloud movement takes away the realism. Cloud speed should be half of what it is.

Not so smart are we Mr Playground Games CEO. I setup this thread as a trap to find out your true identity.

Autobots roll out!

in short: 5/10 (current state)

longer version: I’m here for journey, not a 1-day trip. With the second option score would be lower by 1 or 2 points.
But I’m pretty sure I will stay here for longer, so I hope they will fix most of the bugs + add back missing online content ASAP. IMO it has potential for 8 (depends on added back content and expansions). It would be nice to get some anti-cheat and clean leaderboards.
TBF, even with current state I’m still having fun, but it feels like game was released too early.
My score doesn’t include graphics, just gameplay. All I can say that it makes my PC work harder (loading + driving at higher speeds) and doesn’t look better (compared to FH4 with similar settings) too justify that.

There’s something in the game which is much more demanding than FH4, though I have yet to work out what it is. The game also pushes the Series X way harder than FH4 ever did…FH4, after 10 hours, the air being pushed out of the fan would be barely a bit warm; after 10 hours of FH5 and I start to worry about the console’s lifespan as the air is hot (and that’s only in the 30fps Graphics mode…dread to think what would happen in 60fps Performance Mode!)
