I’ve spent way too much time power washing and home flipping - so I’m right there with you. Ha.

Question on the FH5 DLC. I pre-ordered the DLC season pass last year. So, I now have the Hot Wheels expansion.

I did not take a -0.5 since I bought the pass last year, but I could theoretically take a +0.5 if I ever “complete” it?

Am I correct on the above?

If so, what are the conditions for “completing” a game like Forza and the expansion? I think I completed all the non-seasonal races, etc in FH5 back in January or Feb, but I never really considered it “complete.” I haven’t checked back on the game until yesterday, so I have no idea what may have happened since.

This is a good question. I’m in the same spot, bought the premium add-on last year. I think this, and the main game, should count as a completion once the campaign/story is done. So yeah, once the Hot Wheels campaign is done that is a +0.5.

Been playing it a bunch too. I don’t why I like it so much but I just do. Very tempted to play House Flipper as well, I enjoyed it on PC.

Yeah, we’ll have it count as a +0.5 when you’ve completed it. I already did the same thing this year with the Kaito Files DLC for Lost Judgment, so the precedent is already there.

We’re kinda leaving that up to each competitor, so if you feel like you’ve done enough to the point where you’re done with the game and satisfied with it, you can mark it as complete. But personally I would say just reaching the Hall of Fame would be enough to mark it as “complete”. I don’t think you necessarily have to do everything for it to be complete.

I’m halfway through but got interrupted by the Power of the Wash… I was gifted the game though so no points either way.

It’s really good though, so everyone should indeed play it!

Xenoblade 3 vs Digimon survive next week…torn on what to get. I might hold off on the switch games until my first born comes later on the year where I’ll have 0 time to play Xbox.

You really should give it a shot.

Also makes me pose the question here: I play a lot of roguelikes. I suppose beating a run doesn’t count for this backlog challenge? Because if they did…I’d be trouncing you kids. :rofl:

Had another winning run this morning. Saw credits roll and everything!

@PhantomFox

You can remove me from this challenge. Best I will be at is “0” so not much point.

I will be watching this thread though to see who wins. Earlier this year, I thought @profjjj had this wrapped up and was running away with this challenge but @Mort has come roaring back (props by the way bud!!!) to make this a competition and @outrigued is in this race as well being only 2 games behind Mort. This challenge will be really interesting to see how it all plays out. Would be hilarious if it ends up in a three way tie. lol :joy:
