The Story So Far

Well peeps 3 weeks in so how’s the game treating you are you a lover. a hater or just indifferent as for myself I love it but there are a few things I just had to get of my chest.

Number one the game is great the graphics are great and the gameplay is great so it’s all great then, however following all the hype I wanted to be amazed to be totally blown away and you know something I just am not. My hope is that it with the addition of being able to play it on the XBoneX that this will make the game the totally amazing experience I hoped it was going to be.

Number two, well as per the norm the game released with problems that were to easy to see and deal with but weren’t. the biggy for the Forza fanatics was the confusion over VIP players suddenly finding that the main reason for becoming a VIP was not included in the Forza 7 VIP pack that being earning double credits. Come on Turn 10 do you seriously believe we buy VIP status for the special rivals events, no it was not maybe it’s for the occasional special VIP car or paint hell no it’s for the double credits so we can buy cars faster, tune them more and paint the heck out of them. However as release probs go this is a long way from being anywhere as bad as some of the debacles that have occurred with others titles releases.

Number three was it to much to believe that the game released would be the full game and we would not be left hanging waiting for the auction room to be opened or being allowed to access our storefronts and why are we waiting for Forza 7’s first Forzathon along with the other small niggly things that just leave the game feeling just a little unfinished. Come on Turn 10 surely being able to access the games full arsenal should be something that is there from day one after all we paid for the privilege so maybe in future we should have full access to the game and not be left feeling like a bunch of beta testers refused access to the good parts of the game.

Enough bitching though because the game is great I love it and if the XBoneX does what I expect it to do then the game will be the totally devastating experience I had hoped it would be.

PS Why didn’t you release Forza 7 alongside the XBoneX because the way i’m going I might just have completed the game before I even get my XBoneX Scorpio Edition.

I am enjoying the game so far, but if I did not have a wheel, I would probably want to return it like everyone else.
All the bugs in the game don’t really disrupt me from doing 10s of laps around Brands Hatch in a tuned Honda NSX and having fun.
Although I am very anxious for the 2x VIP rewards.

One X is a microsoft product, so I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you. If it’s anything like their games it’s just gonna be all hype & nothing else for those who pre-order/buy Day One. I hope for your sake I’m wrong, but I definitely won’t be buying it.

I like it. The changes they made do not bother me much as I like the single player minus the Drivatar behavior in this version. I do not really see the fuss about the loot crates etc because I have only got FM6 Apex - FH3 (Which I have only had 4 or so months so missed any issues there) so, not much to compare it to previous editions. I just noticed a few days ago that I have a copy of FM3 still in its case for the Xbox but never owned an Xbox so that is a curly one and quite a mystery.

There are a lot of positives like the Auction House which at least by the time it opens people will be ready to part with some decent cars. I really like the Specialty Dealer idea and it seems to get me out on the track purely to buy them and with each level up sticking a car under my nose that I really want just to set me back and to add more miles to catch up. I am not sure but once you get to a certain level the cars seem to start at 400’000 on level up.

bring on the VIP X2 though coz it is getting tough.
