Forza Horizon 4 |OT| Seasoned to Perfection
- Thread starter Klobrille
- Start date
Don't forget you can set your home to festival sites too, that works for spawning there.
This is the first Horizon expansion I've actually played (despite picking up all the others in sales well after I finished the main games--oops). I'm a bit surprised at how small the map feels, but I suppose crafting a whole new open area to drive around in isn't exactly easy.
I like the idea of the Island Conquerer, though I'm not sure how I feel about them giving you so much money in treasure chests that are only accessible if you own the expansion, so that people who just have the base game are stuck without. On the other hand, if there are expansion cars you can only buy through the autoshow, I guess that makes more sense.
One minor thing: am I the only one who's disappointed the radio stations didn't change? I can only listen to Ride or Die so many times.
Yep, in fact I'm pretty sure there's a new voice line from one of the festival crew about how they made space out back for all the drivers to hang around on the island. It seems like you're intended to use the festival site as your homebase for Fortune Island.

Might wait for a sale on the expansions. Fortune Island looks alright but nothing special like Blizzard Mountain was. I do really want to check out the upgraded storms though.
Looks like I won't be doing the weekly, again I'm not paying 500k credits for a car I don't even want.

The first time you go careening off a cliff into the ocean in the pitch black on Fortune Island is perfection.
Progression on Fortune Island feels really short; it didn't take long at all for me to reach level 10. I think it might have benefited from having a different progression system from the main game, something like Blizzard Mountain or Storm Island tried.
That's what I'm doing. Already got the 10m castle. Now saving up for the big one in Edinburgh.
Nothing of the sort. You do races/PR stunts to get influence to advance, same as the main game.
Finished Fortune Island last night. As with the previous expansions, I find them to be a lot more fun than the main game. Having found all the treasures, I finally had enough money to buy a castle. Still needing the last barn find I fucked it up and bought the wrong one! I feel so stupid, I didnt even look as I figured it would come with the Edinburgh one -_- Now I have to grind/sell 6 mill again or wait for the next expansions *sigh
Yeah I got all of the treasure and im at 11m, another 4m to go
Finished the Fortune Island expansion! Short, but pretty fun. Could use some more Cross Country races though, and the new weather is not as extreme as I expected. Still, Fortune Island sits right behind Blizzard Mountain as one of my top 3 Horizon experiences (3rd is FH3 base map itself).
I finished most of the Fortune Island content, still have to do the Drift 2.0 storyline and a couple achievements, but all events, stunts and such are done. Excellent expansion pack imho, very atmospheric, great locations for skill chains, and the treasure hunts are a very fresh and welcome change of pace. Really enjoyed the extremely long downhill drift zone too. Plus the 10 millions (which amounted to less because I had to buy some cars and setups to get all challenges done) was enough for me to buy the last 15m castle too, and with all the spins and such I'm already at around 4 millions again. The next weeks I'll be doing some more mop-ups in both the base game and the expansion pack.
It's a bit small, great looking map but will you ever play these online? Is there a separate team adventure playlist just for it?
God I just started fortune island and it further cements this game as my game of the gen.
To our British fans: is Fortune Island loosely based off of Shetland / North Wales?

Not really Wales. But Shetland, Skye and the Faroes I think.
Having played through about 3/4th of all the various activities I'm liking Fortune Island a lot. The hilly/mountainous terrain and the winding roads are a great addition to 4's base offerings and all the dirt racing events make me very happy :>. Looks very good too, winter's going to be amazing.
Looks like alot of people getting the expansion bundle

So what with my xbox breaking I let my gamepass sub lapse and I haven't played for a while, but I've kept the farming going, I have a bit of influence to redeem now though. Wonder how many spins and levels that gets me.
Holy shit. How do you do your farming? I have a crappy Android phone I just leave plugged into USB at home and stream with audio only the whole time. Every 24 hrs or so usually nets me about 10-15 wheelspins, that's pretty much the only reason I play it now.So what with my xbox breaking I let my gamepass sub lapse and I haven't played for a while, but I've kept the farming going, I have a bit of influence to redeem now though.

Certainly glad I didn't buy it outright, once I bought the most expensive house I never felt there was much need to complete the rest of the events/classes or whatever in it... and the Mixer farming made plowing through those events unnecessary. Oh, and the AI is shit in this game, too.
I have a spare PC at work I have left on mixer 24/7 since release.
Beat fortune island. Did all the races and found the treasure chests. I was able to by that castle finally in the main game, lol.
I;ve got some problems with how the game handles it's progression but I still love the series. Always something to do and the facing is as fun as ever.

Just a little update but if any of you are experiencing crashes, please submit a support ticket.
We are looking into various crashes and trying to get these fixed.

It would be nice if there were more options for multiplayer besides team adventure.
Like a pure racing one where you it's best of 5, the race type changes randomly and you can change car between races to match.
Yep, wonder if Playground games just wants you to experience the open world but just give me matchmaking into races like that.
In every Forza Horizon game, I always spend money on the treasure chest and reveal all collectibles. Even on DLC maps (like Blizzard Mountain, Hot Wheels Island, etc...). I've decided to skip that for Fortune Island. I love puzzle games and I love riddles and it seems like it will be fun to piece together exactly where the treasure chests are located.
Started Fortune Island recently and one thing I've noticed is playing through this game just makes me wish I had Playground's Fable in my hands. Their world design is amazing.

By all means, this spectacular Great Britain, an exotic island with treasures, the character customization, the giant open world... it all feels like very useful knowledge they're putting together for Fable. They know how to make exciting and spectacular game worlds, that's for sure, we'll see how they'll manage with one full of people, battles, quests.
Whoever came up with this week's trial championship was pretty sadistic. Three *five* lap dirt events in slow ass big rig trucks. The last one took almost 8 min @_@. Luckily three people left after the first race and me and someone else were able to carry what remained of our team to victory in with the next two.
It might come from wheelspins too? But that event is the only guaranteed way yeah.
I think it's been doing that since the beginning? I've always had the new dlc car splash page a couple days before they were downloadable.
Yes though in my case it's advertised cars not available for a week or two.
Oh wow, sorry, I didn't realize the car you mentioned wasn't this week's ^^
The best thing about fortune island for me is the treasure mini-game. I enjoy earning/tracking down the chests and getting 1 million credits or even a really nice vehicle. This makes up for the lackluster spins I always seem to get in the main game.
