Cheese is awesome. Especially when placed between slices of bread and grilled. If enjoying a grilled cheese sandwich is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
I agree with a lot but not all issues the OP posted.
The Outback skill chaining (or any area without many trees) is indeed cheesy, I also disliked the fast rate the barn finds pop up. I don’t agree with the showcases to be over the top though, IMO they are ment to be over the top. I like them that way. Btw I also lol’ed at the credits after the final showcase. Worse credit display timing moment ever.
I would even add 1 extra cheesy point and that is the silliness of difficulty settings combined with AI rubber banding. It doesn’t matter if I play highly skilled and finish top 5 most of the time or play unbeatable and always finish 10th-12th, the credits gained are the same or even better at unbeatable. Rubber banding in this game is one ugly beast and the effect should be decreased or an option given to turn it off completely.
I can just about put up with the cheese, the thing that starts to grate (no pun intended) is the repetition from the DJs, when you’ve heard about the guy doing cloverleafs in a Fiesta for the hundredth time for example…
The worst thing I’ve experienced in this game so far was definitely the final showcase event. It wouldn’t even work as the first showcase I found it that dull and underwhelming. Was a big anticlimax for me. I remember doing it and thinking. Is that it!?
The DJs introductions to Skill Songs are over the top and get very repetitive very fast. But I’ll be turning the DJs off soon, much like I turned off the GPS pretty much straight away.
Now if only there was a way to turn off Anna suggesting races to you every 10 minutes when you’re clearly having a good time just freeroaming…
If you go race the same cars in Forza 6, they sound much better. None of the cars in this game sound anything like what they’re supposed to do. They all sound like copy and paste sounds.
I would agree on the point that they devalued a bit of the experience by recycling animations and sounds. For all the work and time it wouldn’t have been much to give warren a few more lines or at least a few festival upgrade sequences not just the same one.
I hate myself a bit for this one but not every car needs an optional 1500hp L539 or a 1000hp LS3 (plz correct this if it is wrong Aventador and Chevy SS is where I see those motors.
