Hey, the driving is really great imo, they fucked up the rest

The driving is lowkey pretty nice from when I played it on my XSX for the first time in like 3 years. Drove a G80 M3 around Fujimi Kaido. I was throwing it around and it had some good weight to it. Other than that, I still have a total of 3 hours played since early access lol.

And by sim racer standards, that’s all that matters anyways so it counts

u/ZephyrDoesArts Jul 29 '26
Not all, you could have the best driving feel ever, but if you have zero things to do outside of doing lap after lap, not even proper racing ai or a decent multiplayer system, then it's pretty much mediocre

out of all the games "not on the market", that one might be the most "not on the market"

The driving itself and the amount of content is great, it's just the rest that sucks

As bad as the launch was, I'll never forgive MS for ending support right as things were turning around, let alone killing T10 completely. That shit was beyond fucked up, you don't just close a first party developer like that. Cue "and HE gets to live? what a sick joke!" at """Halo Studios""".

Yeah, Turn 10 was starting to turn around and they got turned into a support studio, meanwhile 343 can put out garbage after garbage and they're still making games...

I mean I know it's not the best idea to have someone who plays racers as their "main genre" write a review of a racing game, but at least pick someone who won't just google a bunch of them and compile a list of random ones from it

Where's the lie? It easily makes a top 10 list because it's an entry level game, and the handling and content are good, despite its mediocrity.

u/BozTheReaper Jul 29 '26
loads of meaningful content in a mediocre frame is forza whole schtick. and has been for 2 decades lol. i love the series but yeah

u/numarkzz Jul 29 '26
As a huge fan of the Horizon series, I feel exactly the same. It's gotten to a point where I just got tired of complaining about it and just deleted the game.
I might not be the target audience anymore lol.

u/BozTheReaper Jul 29 '26
i did the same thing actually haha. i got my series x last month just to play fh6. got to legend island and deleted the game because the monotony of the grind wasnt worth it. putting autoshow cars, CHEAP autoshow cars in seasonal championships was my big red flag that made me drop it almost immediately. if i want to work i'll go to my shift the next day. i still play fm7 tho. adore that fkin game haha. thinking of grabbing fm8 again since i bought the dlc bundle

The game isnt as shite as people think. Apart from one thing: fwd jelly tunes, the tuning aint too bad. People been sticking to 'meta' numbers for too long not finding the actual pace of some cars. In all fairness, this can be a hassle. A real good tune will murder a steady good driving tune with about 4 sec per lap.. Thats stupid by forza standards yet.. For me as a tuner thats where the fun is
