no, it doesn´t need more 10s because essentially it is stagnation on a high level and this entry, bar the seasons, doesn´t do enough new stuff, too much is reused from FH3 and there is stuff added which isn´t needed in a car game (emotes, clothes)

game is good but lets not get carried away...it wouldn´t even crack a 9 for me, it is a solid 8.5 at best
Puh. Guess I simply don't agree but each to his own.

However, saying the game isn't doing "enough new stuff" from FH3 is straight out wrong. I'm saying that as someone who put hundreds of hours into FH3.

That's crazy because it didn't for me. I tried two different zones multiple times and it only counted when I did one I hadn't three starred.

That's been mentioned more than a few times in the thread. I honestly just think it's a bit glitchy. I feel like it would be pretty short sighted of them to make it impossible to complete the Forzathon challenges eventually.

Oh.My.God! THE GAME LOOKS INSANE! Finished the intro 10 minutes ago and did the first stunt

What a game! The sounds of cars is unreal too

I just love my luck with wheelspins.

The two FE cars that I got suck, Volkswagen Type 2 (somehow a S1 class) and Peugeot 205 (which is the prize for the ranked league).

Yay!

At least I got the Windows XP shutdown horn.

Which one of you bought already Treasure Map? :)
Guilty...

I got the treasure map for 2 right before it went delisted because it was part of the "Complete DLC Package" they had for 23 clams, and it was so convenient I bought it for FH3 right after to get those stragglers I never would've found without.

I bought it for FH4 right off, since I'm probably just going to buy it anyways later down the line, and I figured that I might as well buy it now and right away go for all the Fast Travel boards because free fast travel (especially when you unlock Fast Travel anywhere) is so good!

Anyone know why the rest of the Laracer races aren't showing up?
I think they don't move. You go to the same place to access them, just select "next chapter" or "select chapter" to do the next part.

Game keeps crashing on X. I've noticed it's been doing this since I reset to play in 4K/30. Didn't have any problems for 15 hours prior to then

Got first place on both races in the Lambo event, but can't manage to win both events. My team can pretty consistently win the 2nd race, but we've never won the first...

So if anyone wants a tune for the Lamborghini Reservoir Sprint I uploaded my tune. I think it's a pretty well balanced tune and I've won first in both events using it. It's for the Huracán LP 610-4 titled LamborghiniEvent

Been a while since I've been this excited for a new game. Going to dump a lot of time into this tomorrow.

Wish there was a way to pre-load with Game Pass.

That Eric Prydz remix of Midnight City is so weak it hurts. That kick is just so thin they might as well have used a recording of someone flicking a piece of cardboard.

making the demo the actual game intro was a bad choice I don't even really feel like playing up to the point the demo ends. I mean I just spent an hour doing exactly that a few days ago.

Puh. Guess I simply don't agree but each to his own.

well, for me it isn´t doing enough new, it is getting somewhat old at this point. so it is surely not "straight out wrong".

as i said it is stagnation on a high level. there is room for improvement which is completely untapped in this entry:

-car collisions/damage model could been much better, it is the same from FH3
-more meaningful progression system is needed, not "just finish the race and you are good"
-showcases still rubberbanded and heavily directed, uninteresting to play bar the visual spectacle
-car selection while big just misses many great cars
-landscape sadly not so interesting, too much countryside, Australia felt much grander
-devoid of life, where are pedestrians in the city, where are hikers in the countryside?
-menus cluttered, too much submenus, too much white
-cars changing for an event and back takes a long time, i just drive my Subaru which is suited for anything
-online mode really underwhelming with not enough AI cars, feels more lifeless than offline mode which shouldn´t be the case
-the festival is relegated to be something on the sidelines, the festival aspect is not as prominent as in the other games of the series
-buying houses make no big impact bar a few houses
-those stuntman/delivery service questlines aren´t as cool as bucketlist challenges
-silly dances/emotes and stupid clothes at odds with the rest of the game, i really don´t like it, Fortnite/Overwatch and GAAS reeks its ugly head and i really despise those winning poses.


what it does great is the graphics(which is cool but no selling point for me), the seasons(which are on weekly rotation so that is a point of criticism on its own), the driving feel and the soundtrack-but all of this was already great in FH2 and FH3.

maybe i am too old to be easily impressed but all in all it could have been much more and if someone was a pedantic it could be called FH 3.5

in conclusion, i fully agree with the 8.0 reviews, personally would have given it a 8.5 because i really like the game but it just isn´t higher for me because it is too samey to the last entry.

i hope they improve the online mode to be more lively and the DLC´s to be something really special because this entry needs this extra oomph somehow.

I agree with some part of them! But I don't regret buying Ultimate Edition at all anyway :)

I've just been changing the season clock on my Xbox One every few hours. Makes the game far more enjoyable to explore and do events as all of them in summer was getting pretty boring.

They should really add an option to get out of the car and go exploring on foot. I want to do that!!!

Quick question:

Is this like part 3 where buying the PC version will give it to me digitally on the XBox One also?

wait a minute seasons change weekly? that actually really sucks, I've got the whole week off and was planning on playing quite a bit but this means I'll be pretty much done with the game having done it all in only one season?
