Forza 5 is a step in the right direction - if they reign in the micro transactions....
I spent the long holiday weekend playing Forza 5 and here's my pros and cons:
Pros
- Brilliant graphics - It is a beautiful game. I even like the realistic way the sun blinds you when it's just right in the sky and you turn to face it. Bring your sunglasses along.
- Drivatar - Stupid name, but it does give the other cars character and it's pretty cool to earn Forza money when you're not racing as your 'drivatar' has been while you are away
- Options - This game has every racing type covered in one form or another. As I am new to the series I don't know how that translated from previous version however I find the variety to be a sweet spot. Just when you start to get bored of one racing type, they throw something at you that's different (like racing with traffic added). Add to this a TON of racing options and I'm not sure how you can get bored of this game, maybe of racing too much all day - but not really the game's fault.
- Top Gear - The comments in...
Forza Motorsports 5: the dawn of the microtransaction
This game is gorgeous. Just. Downright. Gorgeous.
It's a great time killer, Some of the pros are breathtaking though
PROS:
Top Gear Announcements: I LOVE the cut scenes with the top gear guys, giving me information on certain car types....it's such a great touch.
Graphics -- WOW....
CONTROL -- Wow x2
Reverse - I like being able to un-screw myself, but I also like being penalized for doing so.
Assists - They penalizing you for using them, but hey, what do you expect? This makes it so anyone can race.....ANY ONE
CONS***
There is only one Con, and we should have seen this coming from a mile away: MICRO TRANSACTIONS. To hell with micro transactions...they are evil. They make the developer string along progress to be even longer... I have a theory on Microtransactions, I'll add that at the end if you would like to read it.
CONCLUSION:
Amazing, beautiful, breathtaking,...
Time to break out the ol wallet
I would like to start first to say that I have owned every Forza game created to include this one and have loved what they have done in the past.
That being said, It is a sad day for gaming when Turn 10 and Microsoft put out a game like this. Asides from the lack of tracks, cars, weather, or day/night (I know its a launch title) so I am not going to go into that. I am upset because Turn 10 made it painstakingly difficult to progress through the game and earn cars through races. They made most races pay out on an average of 5 grand (Forza 4 paid alot higher and "gifted cars" as you leveled). If you want one of the more expensive cars you are looking at about 250 races or 6-8 hours of play. If you will like to see all the cars this lifetime you can purchase TOKENS for real money and receive any car immediately. TOKENS are game credits purchased from xbox live (.99 to 49.00) and can be used for cars and parts, not DLC, If you want the DLC car packs you WILL STILL...
