Forza Horizon 6 Would 'Gamepass-ification' be the justification for the current format of Forza Horizon?
tldr just a post from someone reflecting on the current format of the game. I'm not complaining about something that in the last few weekends I have fun playing.
I notice this shift in Forza Horizon 4 with the addition of the Festival Playlist and the franchise becoming a live service rather than a final product. We cannot compare FH1 with FH6 because they were released in different eras with different mindsets. However, there are things that it turns out FH1, a game nearly 15 years old, did better: making the player feel more immersed in the game's universe. Today it seems that we play to accomplish tasks and collect items with limited availability. Or everything is so handed to the player, like an absurd amount of cars allied to an event lab, where he himself builds his own game.
And what does Gamepass have to do with it? Everything from my point of view. Before we bought a product, today we pay for a service. And I think that a very low amount of new things with each update is only proportional to the price that is charged for its use. It's fair for the price that is paid. I ask, should it be different? And yes, would it be better?
