I personally think that the festival playlist for fh5 needs to be removed. It really seems to hinder the game more than it helps as it makes the game very boring and repetitive the more you go through the playlist over and over again every time it changes. It makes getting new cars added within each monthly update feel tedious and boring, therefore making getting new exciting cars people want feel nauseating afterward, especially for those who aren’t really into the cars themselves and more so prefer racing. It also makes the game feel way too similar to fh4 and it makes you feel like you are playing the same thing all over again except on a different map with some more cars. I wanted this game to feel different than the previous entry. Take how fh2 felt like a massive change compared to fh1. The map was way more open, more types of races, more flexible car builds. It felt like a massive contrast to fh1 and a much more upgraded and bigger experience. Fh5 doesn’t feel all too different from fh4 and it makes me feel disappointed. Removing the festival playlist and perhaps focusing on adding new types of races, modes, and adding new ways to get new cars added with the monthly updates using the features promoted with fh5 such as doing expeditions opening up for remixes or through accolades or by possibly unlocking achievements associated with the game to get new cars would make the game feel way different, seperate itself from fh4 and be a lot more fun and exciting to come back and play. I truely want the best for this amazing franchise of games and for fh5 to become one of the best modern racing games of all time. Thanks
I agree, the playlist stinks and has been getting worse and worse… but removing it leaves …what?
There is literally nothing to do in this game anymore and removal of the 1 thing that give some new content, albeit crap, would make this game pointless to even turn on anymore.
That’s true that the game would be left with not much else with the festival playlist removed but I feel that removing the festival playlist could pave way for some much more interesting features that would make that big change feel that we’ve experienced for the past few horizon games. Like the example I gave comparing fh1 to fh2. In replacement of the playlist I’d like to see the developers do more with the features they adding with the game like accolades, expeditions and new modes/events that promote the new monthly updates, or create new co-op style events. Use those kind of features to earn new cars, wheelspins, that kind of stuff. Give players more of an incentive to come back and get excited for new updates apart from just the cars themselves.
For a week I put up a survey in my Forza focused discord server called HCJ asking whether or not they want the festival playlist to be removed. According to the survey, 4 votes to 2 says they want it removed. From a community of around 50. So there’s some community input there. It’s time that the game makes a change and make the game feel different and way better in the already great quality of the game.
