#3Reasons Time To Show Some Love To Forza...
If you’re anything like me after a hard time at work or college I like to switch on my XBOX and put in Forza and slay some tires. Recently Forza and Turn 10 have really smashed it out of the park with Horizon 3 however, I still feel as though Forza needs to up its game.
If you’re anything like me after a hard time at work or college I like to switch on my XBOX and put in Forza and slay some tires. Recently Forza and Turn 10 have really smashed it out of the park with Horizon 3 however, I still feel as though Forza needs to up its game. Now the next scheduled Forza game should be Forza Motorsport 7 and will possibly be available around 2018 or later. My incompleteness with the Forza series has led me to write this post about some changes and additions that need to be made.
Horizon... Is Dead...
If you cast your minds back to September, you’ll remember that Forza Horizon 3 was announced and the hype for the game was unreal, with the game being set in Australia one of the most beautiful places on earth, with more customisation than ever, more cars than ever, and more exploration than ever, it seemed like the perfect game for car guys and girls. However, a month after the release of Horizon, the hype died and people are a bit bored of the game, I full well know that I am getting sick and tired of Kiera constantly telling me what to do I get that she’s probably a very nice lady, but she does have a mouth on her. Perhaps a more story driven game is what’s next, I know that I would enjoy a story based Forza game far more than Horizon 3.
Moar Motorsport
Motorsport Is in the title of the game correct? Well then why the hell can I only drive on a track! There are so many forms of motorsport that the game doesn’t include into the main campaign of the game. For example Drifting and Drag racing have been seen as forms of motorsport for years now, so why are they only available in online game modes. Similarly, rallying and rallycross, now I know what some of you will say, which is ‘Thats what Horizon is for!’ But I don’t want to roam around some Aussie’s field I want to be charging up Pikes Peak or tearing up some dirt tracks in Wales. With the addition of buggy’s into Horizon 3 I should damn well hope that some of this maybe possible. A glimmer of hope was shown when NASCAR’s were brought into the game even then it took an age for Forza to listen.
Stop Being Sneaky Ba*tards With The DLC Content
Now, I like my Forza games to be fully loaded with the VIP and Car Packs etc… But there are some people out there that can’t afford a new DLC pack every month, Forza used to give those loyal players a free car in the DLC but they seemed to have stopped that which is rude of them, as I feel as though its telling those loyal players to f*ck right off. Similarly, with the whole VIP situation I don’t get why VIP payers don’t get anything more than a few extra cars, I expect to have some more future DLC’s free as I’m paying nearly £17,00 extra for the game. Furthermore, Turn 10 and Forza are driving loyal customers away by doing this, it’s nearly the same situation as the FIFA series, as people aren’t allowed to buy FIFA coins anymore meaning that they can only earn in game money which is next to nothing, compared with the price of player packs. So Forza if you’re reading this (Which you’re probably not) use those things on the side of your head more often, they are called ears and they are amazing parts of the body.
Thats all from me! What are your thoughts on Forza? Is the game dead or better than ever? What are your suggestions for the next Forza game? Am I stupid? Have a great day!
Thanks for reading!

I remember playing FH3 for maybe a month, but I still play X360 FH2 and enjoy it immensely (unpopular opinion)
Well, every Horizon game pretty much had a short story mode and if you were finished with it then you start doing what the game was meant for, enyoing the open world with loads of different cars. To complete the Full story in Horizon 1 it took me like only a week ( Horizon 3 took me much longer) Horizon 3 isn’t dead imo because most of the time I just drive around without any destination and thats whats the most fun about any Horizon game in my eyes. About the DLC part….ya I know to pay extra money is annoying but Forza does this since Forza4 in 2011.
Oh and don’t tell me that you don’t have 7 dollars a month, even if you’re still going to school that’s not really much
Great post however I STRONGLY disagree with the first two points. Firstly, it’s personal taste. I find Motorsport 6 an incredibly boring experience, however Horizon 3, I love. I find the open world amazing and all it’s small details. Personal preference I guess.
Horizon is not dead. There is a lot of people online.
Forza horizon has become a more online based game, the story dosnt mean anything anymore and without a big group of players it’s boring
I do kinda agree it always been focusing on online and not the story for the game maybe someday Forza might get story style like a chose you own adventure game but with cars which will save the franchise
I think the next Motorsport game needs multiple modern cars from their sports. And they need to really do NASCAR properly.
They literally released an australian car pack which didnt contain tge iconic australian cars, and if you want good experience with game you need to buy dlc because they release the cool cars with dlc’s and they are usually very expensive
Reason 4: were paying $60+ for it
And i’m here with a ps4 :(
