Something else, because i am already way over my head in debt, sorry. :p Must be the biggest priced game i got on steam, and already had F1 and such from bundles, but they are so punishing, not even a big racing fan, but this one seemed so fun, and since it's coming from xbox it should also be playable with a controller as i don't have a steering wheel (yet).

In my case, after 242h played on the windows store version, I must say that I haven't experienced so many crashes, but to be honest I stick to the single player mode, I'm not an online racing fan (other than the co-op Forzathon live).

I liked FH4 so much, that when MS was delisting FH3 I got it and am now collecting cars there as well.

I don't know about the Steam version, but I'm sure that if you like arcade/fun driving games, you'll like this as well!

Thank you.

Arcade is definitely what i would want in a racing game, with a game like F1 201x i'd go in the grass or crash within 10 seconds. :p
I also stick to single player mode, definitely never would play online (unless it's with someone i know) so i am probably good there also.

As I said in another discussion when talking about FH, I like to describe it as a playground for car enthusiasts.
I played Forza Horizon 3 on my cousins PC... Wanted to get it myself but then they delisted it and made FH4 a 100 dollar game on steam. So that's about 10 times over my budget for games and for now I'll have to live without it.

But I liked it, The fact you have so many cars and you can basically mod them how you want is just perfect. Although I have a feeling it gets boring fast despite having shitload of content and options.

I am sure if they discounted it so quickly, they will do a bigger sale eventually, probably even a bundle although probably as usual without (all) DLC. ;)

Yeah that's a major risk, it getting boring, there should have been a sandbox part and a true racing part i think (not started it up yet so i dont know if its there or not, but guessing not) but it would also really depend on the person, like you said if you are a car/racing enthusiast.

I would love to get it even without DLCs if it where in a bundle.. I've been playing dirt, project cars, Assetto and I'm really craving something with open-world. I suppose Crew 2 (although looks like that one costs crazy on steam as well) could be a good alternative for the time being. Altough I might have the problem of being able to run it (same goes for FH4) so not in that much of a hurry to get it before market stabilizes for PC parts.

As for boring part - It was similar to me with Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Sim. A lot of content, trucks, interesting deliveries, but still gets boring after a while. Personally I really like to have some kind of story. Otherwise simple sandbox with races gets boring. But I haven't played Forza enough to be sure if that's the case with it. If the price drops or it gets bundled I'd most likely would get it (as I recently got G29 wheel and have been eager to play anything racing related)

Thanksss!
And about Forza Horizon 4, I used to play it on Xbox Game Pass, and then, after wishing it a lot, it came out for Steam. I was very very very happy, but then... they said "save files are different between platforms" so... That mean if you want to play Forza Horizon 4 on Steam... you have to start from 0, all again, because you can't have you save files from the Xbox Game Pass. I'm still waiting for Forza Horizon 4 developers to contact the Sea Of Thieves developers, because they yes made possible have you Xbox Game Pass save files on Steam!

I bought it but I have a pending refund before even downloading it. I realized Forza Horizon 5 will most likely come this year, so I'll wait for that since the past few FH games die off quickly since MS de-list them 6 months after release of the new one to force people buying the new game.

Hope you'll enjoy it tho.

That trailer for it, also certainly looks nice, probably takes a while before it hits steam though, i prefer them all on steam as the main go to, seems like bad business practice and kinda dumb if it just hit steam, to remove it within a year.

Thank you.

You make a solid point there. Even though it's MS and their business practices and decisions have been swinging between bad/dumb and good/smart the past few gens (especially on the PC department). I'm going to rethink about keeping the refund request or to just cancel it, play it and see what will happen this E3/coming winter (FH games always release just before winter). Unless Steam already makes the decision for me (the request is 3 days old already -_-).

What trailer? :O

I thought there was an official trailer on youtube for Forza Horizon 5, but seems unofficial (and most likely fake).

Yeah, that one you linked was a fan-made. Also the location is way off, the leaks show FH 5 will be in Japan.

Edit: I cancelled my refund request.

i'm not really big into racing games, but i've always thought it'd be fun to have one of those complete racing setups, with the seat, wheel, pedals, etc. force feedback from everything and slap on a vr headset. dirt 3 was one of the first games i played when i bought a vr set and it was pretty surreal driving around with that on, especially when going over hills.

Congrats on a purchase, its amazing game. I played like 500 hours on Game Pass and i am not even biggest fan of racing games. World is beautiful and there is a ton of cars to collect and driving is fun too, its rare in games when driving model is good for hardcore racers but in the same time you can put assists on and chillax with arcade racing.
