Forza Horizon 5 |OT| All Roads Lead To Mexico

Give me the base game like all the FH has done till now. I don’t want any compromise with that.

On top of it, do whatever story telling narrative needs to be done

Fast and Furious, Tokyo drift, Initial D or whatever, I will except it.

Add on a third person mode in game as the Fable’s main character which is roamable on roads and open spaces. It would be nice marketing for upcoming Fable game

Yeah agree with you there, if there was a way to choose to disable it I would use it. The map is fine to find new stuff.

It’s offensively shit :slight_smile:

It is like they have introduced their own version of clippy. “Hey Dude, it looks like your trying to race”.

I get what you are saying and really it is throwaway stuff but the story/event races are basically 5 minutes of stuff I would rather mute.

You want a mature story in a game where you race trains, airplanes, balloons, hovercrafts and jet skis?

It is indeed a minor thing because the gameplay truly is fantastic, but if they were to change it in future games I’d be in favour of it. At times it’s like I’m in a F&F movie in how they interact, kinda.

It’s a minor thing, I certainly wouldn’t rate it any lower because of this but I’d welcome a change. :smiley:

Indeed!

I mean I get both sides, one side says it has always been cringe, it’s not FH without shit radio hosts or commentary, and the other side just wants that as a player to be treated like a grown up. The over the top acting and cringe can definitely be lowered and still be very entertaining.

I find the radio hosts amusing. They fit the game well but the stories are cringe :grimacing:. I don’t mind it much since it doesn’t affect my enjoyment of the game. But if there is any room to improve this masterpiece it’s the dialog and writing of the short stories. Everything else is really the best it can be. It really is the game of the year for me.

Seasonal playlist are so much fun with friends lol. Keeps the game fresh and a reason to come back on with my boys.

I don’t know… Would it still be Horizon without the silliness and over the top of it all? Some of the Stories are decent this time around too. I don’t think I want FH to turn into a Sad Car Game

We went over this already, it should be called Need For Grit

The writing will need to improve for Fable thats for sure.

improve is an understatement lol, it has to be exponentially stronger, writing is at the core of an RPG imo, racing games can at the end of the day get away with it. I’m just glad Fable has its own writing team that is more experienced in narrative games and doesn’t share from the same pool as Forza’s lol

It doesn’t need to go to extremes like that, but less cringe is always a good thing in my book. :wink:

lol fr, someone on that reddit said it along the lines of playing FH feels like it’s your birthday and everyone around you is just trying to pamper and hype you up more regularly than usual.

Yep, haha. Read that too, that’s a good way to describe it actually too. And apparently everything in Mexico according to the game is family, even rivalry. I mean, I get it. It’s so cheery, so happy, just slightly too much. It’s something I could personally do without. So if they do for FH6, great, if not, bummer but won’t ruin my enjoyment at the end of the day.

For Fable I expect a world of difference, I expect funny ass humor and good writing. The trailer sure set the tone, loved that.

Lmao, I know everyone glosses over the writing because it’s a “racing” game but yeah, it’s pretty horrid :rofl:

I know Fable is supposed to be cheeky in its humor but I hope they don’t think Forza humor is considered “cheeky”

Earlier this year I played Need for Speed Rivals. They tried to be serious with the most cringe, lame and stupid story and premise I have ever seen in a racing game. I’d take FH cheeriness over that shit any day.

(Do NOT play NFS Rivals, it’s SHEIT)

Yeah that NFS game that takes place in the night was very cringey, I don’t want that either. Thinking of a game that has good writing and a good story too, in a racer. Don’t think there are many.

This isn’t a story focused game.
