Forza Horizon 5

Lemme guess, the ones you were missing were dirt roads that you hadn't driven down in their entirety, and you can't tell on the map because they're represented by broken lines?

You could also just get a PC or mobile device and play via the cloud with Game Pass Ultimate?

You can definitely now buy a car before the start of a race, it offers a "buy a recommended car" option after your garage recommended and your current car (which should really be the other way around tbh).

If you're restarting a race from the X button without going back to the overworld first; the entire previous race is wiped in terms of credit gain, XP gain, and win/podium on your player stats.

Finally made it to the hall of fame today. I done the 50 lap Goliath afk trick three times over the last week, ended up with about 6 million xp,nearly 700 wheel spins and about 30 million in credits. On a mission to fill that car collection and only a few of the rare cars left to go, its a bit of a pain trying to track them down

Finding the game pretty fun now (took a few hours to get in).. but there's not much difference to FH4, just more things to unlock. Maybe a bit too much, it's hard to get excited about "you have unlocked 209 accolades out of 1890" or whatever.

Had to turn the radio DJs off, I think they could have toned the chirpiness down a bit, can't do anything without someone screaming AMAZING, GREAT every 30 seconds. I get that Mexico is a lovely place, but this is meant to be a game, not a tourism ad.

Graphics-wise, I couldn't tell any difference between FH4 and FH5. 5 has nice storm effects, and trees and fences break now, but that's about it. I was kind of expecting some more next-gen, so that's a bit disappointing. Played on both the PC and Series X.

Still, it's part of Game Pass, so it's not like I had to pay extra to play it.

Same old problem with this series, I've only turned the game on and they're throwing Lambos at me. i've got 6 cars in my garage already including a $1m McClaren Senna and I haven't even raced another car yet. There's zero sense of achievement. Roll on Gran Turismo 7 where I'll probably start off in a second hand Yaris and work my way up.

On that Classic Muscle race thats beside the stadium, how do you know whats a classic muscle? I didnt see that term listed anywhere on any car.

In my garage or request car, im sure its there but i couldnt find it.

4 of us had to those 3 races in the rain in what was basically a rented bouncy castle.

I'm having a problem with the festival playlist, when I win a championship the reward isn't triggering so end up having to do it twice or three times. Extremely annoying

There was a patch at about 5pm today!

Was supposed to deal with connectivity issues!

Also, there's a lot in the known issues 😲

I've gifted a couple of cars, and got kudos in return. I don't know what the process is for receiving a gift, do you drive up to an existing barn and hope there is a car there?

Played some online races last night, didn't have any connectivity errors but the ratio of time spent actually racing to time spent waiting around was pretty woeful. I generally don't play online games so maybe that's the norm but sitting 2 minutes on a result screen, then 2 minutes on that horizon stage screen while it's waiting for players, then another 2 minutes on the starting grid, before finally doing a 2 minute race doesn't feel like a great use of time.

I only gift out any dupes I get. Which so far has not been very many, really just dupes I get from winning a car on the wheels before I earn it from the accolades.

I'm getting very annoyed at the seasonal objectives not completing when I win a seasonal championship, having to do each one two or three times is head wreaking

The fact that someone else has done that has zero impact on your game.

The game already hands you high end stuff from the beginning btw. Tricks like this only make it easier to complete the collection, but everyone can have a top range S2 car in their first session easily. The game isn’t designed to grind out the best cars, just to grind out completion stats.

Each car are in their own class so it doesn't matter if I'm level 400 with 500 cars and you are level 30 with 100. Theres something like 536 cars in the game, there's no way I'm grinding credits to buy all does. The game is giant car playground, it's not a serious simulation like gran turismo,Forza motorsport, assetto corsa etc

Are the NPC's parady caracters like in GTA? I feel like I'm constantly waiting from punchlines that never come.
