From what I've read I think I'm glad I skipped the Xbox One and FM5. The graphics of the cars and environments should be better it's on new hardware and I expect the sound and physics to be better also. This is a no brainer. But the game is unfinished and not worth the purchase imo or spending lot's more cash on dlc and tokens. Come on there is soo much missing from the game which should be in and everyone exploring the game is finding this out. Look at the whole drag racing debacle. This game is borked on release with more missing and not working correctly than is.With the whole nickel and diming Turn 10 is doing in the game it should of been a F2P model that came free with the new system. Anyone buying the standard version of this game $59.99 and not buying any dlc or tokens or anything more whatsover over the course of the game will have a seriously gimped game compared to others buying all the car/track/tokens dlc to have all the bells and whistles the game will ultimately will offer over the next two years. So how much is everyone willing to spend on FM5 just for the game alone? 60? 100? 200? 300? I imagine you could really sink alot of cash into the game if you want.

I know I'm breaking the rules of your thread Ink (I do not have FM5) but Parcells just spent some time perusing the Forza forums and I got to say it sounds like Turn10 did a good job of making it very difficult (race grind) for casual gamers to acquire cars in their "Car lovers" game. Unless of course you wish to purchase car tokens to speed up the process which is readily available at every turn I read...always willing to take more of your money. Not sure of the facts but one disturbed individual claimed it would cost you upwards of $50.00 worth of car tokens just purchase the Lotus F1?? Hope he was excaggerating.

Back to your regular scheduled programming...

No AUction House, No Storefront, No Gifting (you can share with everyone but you can't gift to a specific person).

You no longer earn XP, Affinity or CR when driving a showroom model/rented car in MP Lobbies.

So how do you earn XP?    You GRIND your way through the career mode which has very small payouts. 

The Drivatars are worse than the AI ever where. In large part because they have not been fully trained by their human counterparts. Here is my question? When will they learn proper technique if they are all trying to avoid one another by going off the racing line and breaking mid corner constantly. Mind you, every career event (regardless of the track layout) has 16 Drivatars waiting for you. angry

T10 ruined the series... It's destroyed.

Yes, but you must drive a car in your garage. If you drive a showroom car you will NOT earn XP or Affinity. Money is very hard to come by compared to FM4.  I know you are going to get the game Oldschool and I don't want to deter you but I feel I have to tell you that FM5 is a shell. Not just in regards to content either. All the things that helped our community thrive seem to have been cut out. I can't send you, nor can you send me, vinyls or logo cars. No more. You know as well as I do that trading and sharing those things was huge. You and I collaborated at least once on a project. Well, forget it, that is no more. We will each have to make all of our decals on our own. 

Oldschool, it's awful, I don't mean to affect your outlook and I know you will try it for yourself but can't help it. T10 absolutely killed the community aspect.

Oh, and some cars are NOT available to run stock in a MP lobby unless you own it/have one in your garage. Tokens. It's all about the TOKENS. 

The graphics are astounding. Play it for a couple of hours then go play FM4. You will be stunned at how much better it is. I guess that is what's really important.

Seems they've also destroyed racing leagues.

No replays, no saved lobbies.

I`ll stick to the tanks from now on.

Goodbye Forza (5).

Oh, and seems the fanboys are out in force on the forza forums, making every excuse they can, generally with snide comments for anyone who dares question/criticise the game. No change there then.

This game is turning out to be like a really hot girl that doesn't have a thought in her head.  Might be fun for a day, month, or even a year, but you wouldn't want to marry her.

Better off, hot girls think they're doing you a favor, the rest try harder...

Well I guess there is always hope for "The Crew"  Maybe we can set some races up in it.   I feel like they destroyed the stuctured multiplayer side of Forza, no clubs, rental cars, etc.  I enjoy the single player side of it but still its just different.

After reading this, sounds like my assumptions are pretty close. Time for a new racing simulator since T10 has crashed into a ditch.

I have not played it, but have all the other Forzas and 4 it was to easy to make money and such, now it sounds like they went to the other extreme. With it being on the XBone only and hearing that they cut tracks I was pretty upset about the game. But no Store Fronts? WTH!?!

Seriously? Man if no one thinks this game was rushed to make it at launch your eyes must be closed. How much for an incompleted game? Shit with all the microtransactions and DLC they should of gave digital copies out with the XBone as a free to play game.

I have high hopes that they are going to impement the missing features and fix the broken ones.  I think the chances of them shifting focus off tokens are pretty slim, however.  Maybe if the sales of tokens are extremely low and people keep complaining they will fix this in FM6.  But as for car clubs, sharing, and what not, I think they will be back.

Especially if you truly believe that the game was rushed, that is to say you think these features are only missing *because* they were rushed.  Wouldn't that mean that with time, after release, they will be eventually put in?

Anyone NOT know how Wheels feels about T-10 (?) PM me, I'll tell you.

Or...we could start a "I don't like T-10" thread...

I musta not got enough sleep last night, I'm a little grumpy. Wheels, buy the grand kids something nice and count your blessings, don't dump on others. Hey, I'm up $500.00 so far myself. wink I've played Gran Turismo, and I'll never go back, I'll never own a Playstation. I'll go PC first.

Not all fired up, just tired.

Parcells...I Love When Individuals Make Comments Like That....For One I would almost bet (With The Money I Saved On FORZA-LOTS) that I am probably the calmest guy here..If anybody doesn't know by now I LIKE the 'Ol School so the back and forth is just fun for Me....... Venting Makes Me Calmer.... Like I Said...ALL IS GOOD!!!coollaughcool

Yeah, I'm not aggravated, just tired, literally, up too late last night. crying

I've realized that Forza 5 is a single player game, would love anyone to deny it with hard facts n such. Any other point of view just doesn't fit well. At least not at this time, maybe it'll get better, but T-10's track records not too good in that direction. Maybe being a launch title they'll have a little more pressure on them to "fix it", but I'll drop back on "when I see it..."

Still haven't opened my copy, still haven't bought a console, still haven't made up my mind. probably will, I love to paint, and that may be the tipper, but I really like to race these days too.80

Oh...

Can It Parcells.wink

You are correct, sir! It is essentially a one player game. And, T10 does not have a good track record. The game isn't broken, though. It's exactly what they wanted it to be. It's just so unfortunate that all of the things that fostered community interaction have been eliminated. Gifting, SF and AH are all gone. I can't believe it...even though they said those things were out I still went ahead and picked it up because I didn't realize how much it would change the game for me. Oldschool, it goes against my way but I have to say to you - don't bother. It's just not the same old Forza we've come to love. 

The graphics are amazing, the physics are good yett still familiar and the painting is very nice ( i know youd enjoy it) but beyond that ,it has no soul. It just wants to lure you in so you can spend money.

I know you're not a SONY fan but keep an eye on the reviews from the guys here about GT6. You've become a damn good racer and it would be a shame to not have you try it if the guys here give good reviews. It's always been a great race game but it just lacked a little of the depth that Forza had. Still, you could get in some great racing for a fraction of the cost to try Fauxza 5. 

Hope this helps.
