A month or two ago they said they won’t be able to get into FH4 as it would require too much work. Thankfully they didn’t figure that out before getting everyone’s hopes up.
FM7 listened to the opinions of the community, fixed the unpopular specialty dealer and locked car system.
FH4 is the reverse. PG demands us further troublesome challenges and keeps locking many cars.
I know that the system that makes players regularly play games like this is the current trend of games.
However, these systems should be to entertain the players. Play should not be a duty.
To put it clearly, the current system that makes cars hostage and forcibly makes the game play is not fun.
I was a Forza series fan since FM1, and I also enjoyed FH4.
But, it is painful to play this game these days.
Too many cars are locked. If a new season comes, I will play a challenge for a locked car. And the rest of the days I enjoy “vacation”.
This “game” is already felt like “work”.
Forza I liked was a sandbox that enjoyed we favorite car.
The current Forza mimics the bad system of the mobile game. It is very disappointing.
When watching today’s streaming, I thought Playground Games was completely dark side.
They are so greedy that they care about everything that deprives users of too much time, that they do not get cars hard for beginners, and that conditions that Silver members can never achieve are absolutely mind-boggling It does not seem. They do not do so just to add new cars to showcases. Even though all this is the only way that all players are satisfied.
Nobody wants to do “a game that reproduces boring reality” at a festival like a dream.
I would like to know the progress of the expansion pack rather than increasing the dull obligation.
Three near identical RTR that’s idiotic. I’m so sick of the livery job cars we had 50 billion near identical versions of the Hoonigon cars. It just another example of PG approach of quantity of quality when it comes to new cars in FH4.
Also locking cars behind completion of every seasonal event in a limited time frame will be super annoying and frustrating.
On a more postive note I like the addition of the new BMW Z4 M40i
The most hilarious and clueless part of this all: To get players to play the game regularly, PG thinks they should FORCE players to play more of the game to get more rewards. Instead of, you know, making players WANT to play more of the game.
Well, it makes me want to play less. I like playing the game. But they want to make people play what they want in order to get rewards instead of rewarding players for actively playing the way they want. Nothing gets people logging in like extreme achievement near unobtainable grindfarming rewards!
Yeah, at this point I’m thinking of just taking a month (or more) off from Forza to see if anything improves. I’ve been getting more and more annoyed with the weekly events and how the devs have handled locked/exclusive vehicles, and now with this bombshell it’s a good time to just walk away and not log in to support these changes. Not sure how many others feel the same way, but I wonder how the devs would respond if overall player engagement dropped significantly as a result of these decisions. I’ve got plenty of other games on my backlog to work through (and FH3 and FM7 if I’m really wanting to drive) so it’s not like I have to play FH4 anyways.
I think many of here know how mutch i have play FH4, but what this stream is totally opposite to me wanting to play at horizon, well at least i have gamepass so getting new games is really easy. PG you want force to people to play every day and even worst you force peoples to play broken online instead of fixing it, well here’s my answer abaout it.
This is about where I am at aswell. I enjoyed the game in the first couple months but recently I login for maybe an hour a week to grind out any seasonal unlocks I want and then move on.
I might not mind this so much if they could Atleast be bothered to address the problems with multiplayer before forcing me to play it.
This new update is absolutely maddening! What the hell was the dev team thinking with the new unlock system? The current system has at least gotten me to play the game every week, but now it is going to be a huge pain in the ass to unlock those new cars and makes me less compelled to actually play the game.
Well, after routecomp 2, my fourstar review which also had the most “found this review helpful” dropped down to two.
It is now a one star rated game for me, that was my response V12. I am pretty much just playing now H4 because myself and a group of others have made our own fun in it, but also some other games for me I otherwize have gone to as well. My play will pretty much end once satisfactory goes live. I am pretty heavily de-incentivized outside of our bits of group fun and my series 7 races. I will not be doing a series 8.
It show really well that PG is doing something wrong when review stars drop down instead going up. For me while i enjoy driving diffent cars and building them but in recent weeks i have struggle to find motivation doing so because what is reason to build different cars when online is pretty mutch worst experience in any racing game, rivals mode is just joke comparing to any other forza game and even testing cars is made for really hard.
And i really dislike this PG attitude “you gonna play game like we want you to play it” I have been fine with so far when i have been able to skip all of those what i dont like when their is not exclusive rewards but now with horizon playlist, if want to get exclusive rewards you are forced to do everything, like somebody said earlier it seems that devs have look data “mmm it’s look that lots of stuff is not popular like online and playground games how we can get players to playing those, oh i know lets put one of the best cars in the game as a reward to completing everything in one month period time, that would make peoples to play the game”
And it’s just worse when last 5 months we have been asking to updates in multiplayer and PG refuse to do nothing abaout getting better and now they just force peoples get in ranked it’s easy to see online experience will be just even worst.
I was so excited that I was just in time for the stream to see if the patience I have on this game will be finally paid off, but NO!!!
The game was in a decent state despite all the faults people have pointed out, but I enjoy it a lot and play every day for all those seasonal cars even the MP one. but this so-called “update” just make everything a disaster. I like all the cars in the update but that’s is why it triggered me, like seriously, this “festival playlist” is what you came up with after a month. Locking cars behind seasonal events, I get it, it’s kind of unacceptable for the online trial but fine. However, you guys just have to make it worse that we have to complete all the seasonal events to get those two cars, even the Playground game that is currently used for locking wheelspin exclusive. You are forcing people to play the game as a chore instead of enjoying it.
and don’t give me that “not every car should be handed for you, work for it.”, I’m sorry but over the past few months I only need to do one championship to unlock those exclusive, So the game spoils me not my parent.
