Forza Horizon 4 |OT| Seasoned to Perfection
- Thread starter Klobrille
- Start date
Yeah, I am not happy about the exclusive new cars behind the 100% bullshit. It has actually made me play the game LESS now because I know I won't get the best cars because there is literally no way I will get 100%.
Finished my 100% of the Seasonal Playlist and can definitely say that I won't be doing that again.
I'm pretty sure doing what I had been doing (dailies, weekly, Pr stunts, championships with exclusive car prizes) will be enough to reach 50% each playlist. Anything I miss from not reaching 100% I'm more than willing to wait to hit the Forzathon store or do without.

I mean I do like returning to the game once or so a week but that's on the back of how nice the core visuals/world design/handling is, there's really noting they've added in the weekly content that has really drawn me to play.
I still hate this festival playlist. It feels like busy work than letting me play how I want than anything. I wish they would scrape the thing or at least rework it so that it's doesn't have to be 50% and 100% to get the cars. Not everyone is gonna be able to do that.
edit: does the game still disconnect at the end of an unranked ffa adventure?

I am definitely playing FH4 for longer then I stuck with FH3. That is thanks to seasons. But the festival playlist stuff feels like a misstep. Still fun though.
I find myself torn on FH4. I love the setting. But I just find the way events are set up less inviting than FH3. What I liked about the last game was that every race location also had a corresponding championship. That means there were hundreds of events to work through. These don't exist now and they were my favourite way of playing the game.
Exactly how I feel. The way that FH3 unloaded events felt a bit overwhelming but with the seasons mode, they had a great excuse to introduce them gradually and keep you coming back.
Instead, the whole map feels smaller cos there's less to do and the weekly stuff just emphasises how much it's lacking after you finish all the events. It was one of my favourite games of all time up until I finished everything and now it just feels hollow. Massive shame.
Haven't been playing as much lately but since the festival playlist started I haven't had enough FP to buy one or both of the Forzathon vehicles. I know most of them are just cosmetic but oh well..
Really hoping the final expansion is coming soon.

Yeah, I haven't booted up the game in a couple weeks now. I still haven't 100%'d everything of the "main game" or the DLC, but the weeklies are just not very interesting, certainly not enough to bother wasting my limited gaming time on. In a sense, I don't mind: I'd hate if I had to "hate" Forza because of a chore to go on with every week to make meaningful progress. On the other, there's just not a lot of motivation to bother with these weeklies and dailies. I'd much prefer a more linear content-adding process, in which they add a new race, event, car every now and then, which then stays in. Having remixes of the same events every week is not interesting to me. Not enough, anyway.
I still wonder why they don't add more hill climb events. It is the perfect game and setting to do it, just create some great up/downhill roads and let us go to town. Even the Fortune island expansion didn't really have any.
I love when you get a super spin and all three are just clothes :)
They've basically left it up to the community to make the rest of the events.

Yay, they're lowering the festival playlist completion threshold to 80%!

Condolences 😢
E: I think the update might have just borked the percentages in general. I was at 50% total completion (for 4 seasons) before the update and now I'm at 40%, and my season completion for last season is 73% even though I did everything but the Playground Games and Online Adventure.

Thank goodness! I'm glad. I was worried I had missed out on winter. I only need to do the seasonal championships in winter and then spring for all the achievements in the game.
Same as everyone else who isn't changing their system clock :P
Funny, I've had this game since early access and had no idea until last night that some production cars are wheelspin or Forzathon shop only. I was pondering how Forza 7 has the 2018 Civic Type R and how Horizon 4 seemingly doesn't...
Favorite car is RNG. It seems like it wasn't in the game quite at launch but still... Kind of a bummer to discover that the car has been available for some time and I didn't know about it because its unlock method is pretty elusive.

FH4 does have it. But now you either have to wait until it rotates back in the Forzathon shop (for a large amount of FP) or Auction House.

That's not so bad. I'll still be playing the game by June (assuming they *barely* squeek into H1).
We'll, once you've been ranked once you only have to do one adventure per month to complete the requirement, so it could be worse.
One thing I forgot to mention, there's also a Barrett Jackson car pack (unsure if free or paid). Comes with car pass, I assume the price will be like the others packs.

Awesome, shorter adventures should also mean more willing players. And I'm over the moon about collisions being disabled at the start of races, my no.1 reason for losing online races is chucklefucks ramming into my ass and shunting me into the wall when I brake for the first turn.
I think they're experimenting with a fix to slow down wallriding in PvP.
As somebody who has no interest in the Online stuff whatsoever the new festival playlist just seems pointless as I don't seem to be able to unlock the cars just doing single player stuff (not for last two weeks) after a break of a month. Unless Fortune Island has stuff and haven't visited in a while.
It's mitigated a little by the fact that you only have to suffer through one online adventure a month in addition to the weekly single-player stuff to unlock everything.
I may have a closer look then, I enjoy doing the championships and didn't mind doing the rival events. Will investigate further with the new monthly update.
