we are dismissing it because its barely any content and offers little new. its like 25% the size of fortune island which was already small and offered little
Yes, although it's more NFSU 2 meets Gran Turismo once you start turning off assists and use sim handling. Races are at fixed points and I think you can race drivatars roaming the map if you enter the solo mode, although you miss out on hourly forzathon events.Hi guys, i'm interested in buying the game but i have some doubts on what the gameplay loop is.
Do you roam around the open world looking for races? can you upgrade the car? Is it similar to NFS Underground 2 as concept?
Thanks for the answers, i'm thinking about it playing now that i got Gamepass PC
You should read my original post. Ive changed nothing. I was never disappointed in the lego aspect specifically. I was disappointed at the sameness and dearth of differing content both expansions provided. Both forza 3 expansions offered very different experiences than what was offered in the base game. These 2 expansions dont. Fortune island plays and looks near identical to the base game just with far less detail and various parts of the map looking straight up unfinished. Its also quite small. This new lego map is even smaller and again plays exactly the same. And if you minus the legoized bits it looks the same tooThat's rather revisionist. In the past four days since the reveal we've had people whining about Lego cars getting into their serious Forza game. Now that we know there are only three Lego cars and they are entirely optional, you've changed to whining about the content being too short.

If you love racing for the thrill of it, you'll be in for a treat.
Glad to hear it.
Same thing happened with me too as I thought it had already downloaded. Not only that it froze my XBox for a good 2 minutes just initializing the download. All was eventually good though.
I also no doubt agree. Really damn well made all around.
This is literally my only critique. Especially since the lego cars handle the exact same as the other cars and the only thing that makes them Lego is visually they are made from Lego's, I think it would have been great if every car you raced as also Lego's just to keep the visual look and feel consistent.
The other small thing is why are some trees still actual trees but others are not? That last one is a super, super small critique though.
Overall I think this may be the best expansion yet in a Horizon game and I have played them all.
People dismissing it just because it is Lego's are really doing themselves a disservice. It is entirely still Horizon, just the visuals are changed to be Lego.
anyone else noticing some framerate hiccups in the Lego expansion?
I'm on X. It just stutters occasionally. Also have a pretty solid 100mbs connection so not sure it it is just not optimized as well as the main game otr what?
That's what I was thinking they should. Because I kept seeing the Lego car commercials vehicles on CN/NickelodeonCross country events are really fun in this expansion. They already had a big focus on wrecking shit and now most of the shit you're wrecking is exploding in LEGO bricks. Perfection.
Does kind of add to the disappointment of there being only three LEGO cars though, none of them are any of the offroad types. Here's what they should do, there's already fake cars in the game from FF and Halo, just add the Mad Max looking vehicles from the 2nd LEGO movie =D!
Yea might be something is definitely up. Even in the menus going into the pause menu at times it's slow and janky and even completely locked up on me today.
trail is just a wheelspin so I'm guessing low interest in general without the lego dlc influencing thingsAnyone else had trouble getting enough people for the Trial and Playground Games sine this expansion was announced? there never seems to be enough about to play.
Maybe the Lego has put everyone off.
Do you have other game platforms open like Uplay or Steam when running ds4windows? The only thing I had to do was set it to run as admin (in the shortcut properties itself) and check off 'Hide DS4 Controller" to get it working for me OK + Forza. (I play wired)I don't suppose anyone knows of a good reliable way to use a playstation 4 controller with this on PC. I have to use DS4Windows in a weird way. I have to click and unclick exclusive mode while the games running and half the time it doesnt work and it crashes the drivers keep needing to be updated. Is there maybe another way or can I go through steam or something.

Yes but sometimes it comes down to the time of day and and prize for that week. It's been quite a few times this season that 2 or less people have joined which usually means a complete waste of time against the AI.Anyone else had trouble getting enough people for the Trial and Playground Games sine this expansion was announced? there never seems to be enough about to play.

I played like 3-4 hours of this expansion (and I really enjoy it), I only did the first 3 Lego Stories (I don't like doing them all straight, I prefer coming back from time to time) and did many events.I guess barely anyone is playing this Lego expansion.
I just finished the Lego Stories part of it, got 3 stars on every challenge (which is not hard at all, you just don't follow what they suggest), and so far only .51 percent of gamers have unlocked that achievement. So not even 1%. Perhaps I just do not play enough games or am not good enough at the games I do play to see these types of achievements, but I think that is officially the lowest percentage I have ever seen for an Achievement. Usually I see like 2 or 3 %.
It's a damn shame too as there are some great events to enjoy.
Just an FYI I also play several games at once. I am playing Ape Out and Katana Zero on Switch, Rage 2 on the PS4 and this expansion since it was released. I have not played this any more than 2 hours any of the days since it was released and I also did not play it every day. For example I did not even touch it over the weekend or yesterday. And it has only been out what, since Thursday. While I enjoy the hell out of the game it is not a game I can play for all that long. With the Lego Stories I did 3 one day, 3 another day, and the remaining 4 today. I also consider myself a pretty casual Forza Horizon 4 player. As I said earlier in the thread I had not touched it for 4 months prior to this expansion coming out. I would imagine the non casual player who has put hundreds of hours into the game could breeze through this expansion in one extended gaming session.I played like 3-4 hours of this expansion (and I really enjoy it), I only did the first 3 Lego Stories (I don't like doing them all straight, I prefer coming back from time to time) and did many events.
Not every players will do the 9 stories right away and get all 3 stars directly (I got the 3 stars on the first 3 stories on first try though).
Also there's more than 10 Millions players that logged into FH4, thus 0.51 is more than 51 000 players.
The first achievement of the expansion you get when reaching your house was earned by 4.75 % of the players owning the game, so nearly 9 % of the expansion owners got that Stories achievement.
The expansion launched a week ago and is not included in Game Pass, I think it's still a good number considering that kind of achievement.
It mainly depends on how players spend their time on games, I play several games and move from one to the other depending on what I want to play, and tomorrow I'll add one more to my current games list : Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled.
I have 3 days and 15 hours of play time in FH4 and did not finish all stories yet, and I may only have one or two completed with 3 stars (the Drift one in the first expansion was quite easy, but "only" 1.79% got the 21 stars).
Other interesting numbers :
- 81.51% got the very first achievement, so more than 18% never finished the intro (nearly 200 000 players)
- 11% got the first Fortune Island achievement
But I think the achievement numbers can be wrong if it counts logged users when another user is actually playing, I already saw a game appear on another profile that was logged while I was playing that game on my account.
anyone know what is in the 1.3 gigabyte patch I just got on Xbox x?
Sweet thanks,

With that said, while I have really enjoyed my time overall with the expansion, I do think I will stop playing it fairly soon. While I still have a good amount of brick challenges left, adding shit to my virtual Lego house is really not enough to keep me going. And as of now I have no events left on my map.
Does anyone know if I will unlock more if I get to a certain point on the house? I just added the swimming pool and it is saying I should now build a log cabin or some shit. I can get the bricks needed for the latter pretty quick if I want, I just really have no strong desire to do so if I have unlocked all the events.
I absolutely love forza horizon but I have grown terribly bored of it lately. I think the time has come to just put it down and wait maybe a month for the weekly events. I've collected a lot of the cars anyway.
check your messages in game, I think the points are thereso all my car mastery upgrades are gone. i googled and apparently there was some bug with an update but they refunded players their points. i received none. is there any solution?
