I'm a Gran Turismo fan, but in my opinion, Forza is the better series of the two.

I mean, currently I only have 3 but considering I never used the majority of the cars I had in 4 whatever it has will probably be sufficient. I know they've been teasing the car list for a while but I've largely avoided reading or watching anything about the game ahead of time.

you get to choose between three cars at the beginning but then are given all of them. 20 seconds later you get another new car.

30 seconds later you get another new car.

you're also using these cars in their races, so the car you chose you don't even get to use for a while

it looks like real life but then you see a person

Yeah with Forza horizon 4 it was the same way, I had over 100+ cars in my play though, constantly changing until I find a real good one

Overall I'm enjoying it. There are some changes I'm not a huge fan of, but it is also early in the game so there is still time for them to refine things. I started playing FH4 late in its run, so it was already a pretty polished experience.

Day 1 had some terrible connection issues, but they seem to have gotten that mostly straightened out. Guess we'll see if that holds up under the sudden influx of players today.

Day 1 the 5th. I was constantly getting disconnected and there were times where the game thought I was online, but I couldn't see any other players or live events. That seems to have been mostly resolved.

yeah thats probably why they did the early start in the first place, to work out some of the server problems

I could use a different hair style, currently I think I have a mullet.

I like that most of the FH4 festival staff are back.

It really feels exactly like FH4, only better graphics and a new map. Its perfect! I was afraid there would be new staff and I wouldnt like them as much as the last game.

Also you can change your hair style at your house or at the Horizon festival spot

I'm not crazy about what they did with Forzathon Live (Now Horizon Arcade). They cut the amount of time down to ten minutes and a lot of the events are more time consuming. They also run like every ten minutes so I've yet to be in one with more than a handful of people and a lot of the time I've been by myself.

I havent seen the Live events yet.

I felt that same way even in FH4, the live events were always a coin toss between a bunch of people and just by yourself

Definitely some balance issues with some of the story chapters. You'll go from something you can 3 star in your sleep to one that is basically unwinnable without lowering the difficulty.

I had one time when I was in the third round of Arcade and actually had other people...and then got disconnected and immediately failed. That is the closest I've been to actually completing all three rounds so far.

The loading screens are a bit rough (especially at the end of a race)

its just a black screen. Atleast in Forza horizon 4 they had your character dancing and listening to music while you loaded

maybe theyll fix it soon. I come into FH4 late in the game as well, so I dont know how that was at launch

oh cool they just gave me three more cars, that are vastly superior to everything else the game has given me so far

this game has no idea what sense of progression means. maybe that's on purpose, but it just turns me off.

Just did the Goliath which is basically a giant circle around the entire map. Took about 15 mins to circle the whole area from coast to coast.

The map is massive. it really helps me to start filtering the world map icons after a while, because so many new activities start cluttering up the map the more you play

I have it unlocked but I haven't done it yet. I was never a huge fan of the super long races. I don't know how people do some of those custom races with like 50 laps. I just get bored driving for that long.

I saw a video where there's some sort of auto drive thing, and so they leave it on overnight to get a fuckload of points and other rewards.
Yeah, apparently FH5 has some sort of AFK farming but people would do that kind of stuff in FH4 too and I don't believe any of those were AFK. I haven't actually looked at how the AFK maps work, I figure that will get patched eventually.

I was sitting there looking for the stuff it says Id won and thought I was going crazy.

Yeah, not sure why they went that way rather than just giving you the stuff right away. Its not like there is an inventory limit.

Apparently there are times when you just can't see other players in Arcade. I was doing one earlier and I could see the score going up, but it was a Danger Sign event and I was right in front of the launch point and I couldn't see any other players. I've also been in events where I can see other players, so I'm guessing this is yet another bug rather than a feature but it makes it really hard to judge how many people are in a particular event.

The Sesto Elemento? I actually managed to get one of those during the early access and it has been my freeroam car since then.

I haven't done the Titan yet, I did the Colossus and Goliath and I have the Juggernaut unlocked.

Still haven't managed to get through round 3 in Arcade, best was about 3/4's of the way through round 3 on a Wreckage event. At least I've gotten enough points for both cars this season without it.
