Forza 5 microtransaction price list

See how much it will cost you to buy more tokens in Xbox One’s racer.

WeaseL3801d ago

80 * 100 Tokens @ £0.79 = £63.20
or you could buy
5000 Tokens + 3000 free – £64.99

?????? MS maths

Now that's what you call value for money ;)

You think those who buy microtransactions are more intelligent?

So much for playing and unlocking cars the old fashioned way. Now we can all be elite if you have fat wallets.

Fixay3801d ago

Those days are over friend!

VENOMACR12273801d ago

A lot of games have this. For Gears of War, you could buy skins for your gun. Madden you could speed up how quickly a player gets better. BF you could buy/unlock all the guns.

I don't blame companies for doing this. If someone wants to take the easy way and buy all their equipment, let them. If some want to get 1,000 kills to unlock a laser sight, good for you.

The nice thing with DLC, you don't have to buy it.

Drekken3801d ago

It is always nice knowing you bought a game at full price but the company you bought it from still wants to nickel and dime you.

Microtransactions are only welcome if it is a free to play games and it is not play to win. This is a full price game with pay to win. WTF... in what world is this acceptable? Shame on anyone who pays for these extras.

reaper243801d ago

If this is what defines next gen, I am not that excited any more. Let's hope sony doesnt buy into that too.

metalgod883801d ago (Edited 3801d ago )

This may just be a Turn 10 thing as they're the ones who developed it. Either way, it's just a way to take advantage of the casual players or the people who want fast cars but don't have time to earn them.

It's always sad to see this kind of stuff in games like this. Gran Turismo is doing something similar in their next title as well.

I can understand the fact that you want to buy cars with actual money to save time, but isn't the whole point of Forza and GT to race with a mediocre car, earn money, improve driving skills(get used to the physics), save up for a new car and then buy it? I thought that's what the point was anyways...

Zichu3801d ago

GT6 also has microtransactions. There was an article about it yesterday i think.

MidnytRain3801d ago

Pretty sure everyone's trying to jump on this help train. It's disgusting, and the people who are defending MTs are making it worse.

Play the game and you'll actually earn the money you need to buy the cars. I know, crazy, right?

Naga3801d ago

This. I think a lot of people are somehow missing the fact that these tokens are paid shortcuts to in-game credits.

This is not like a free-to-play scheme where paying additional money is the only way to obtain access to in-game content.

Drekken3801d ago

But it still gives the advantage to the guy with deep pockets, which makes it pay to win.

Naga3801d ago

That's fair, and I don't really care for that either. In a way it's rewarding laziness.

But by the same token - no pun intended - there are a lot of people out there who live busy lifestyles and thus don't have the time to grind through a game. Having this option can make the difference between enjoying a game and not playing at all in that case.

AlphaBlackWolf963801d ago

Okay, first comment, here we go. First of all, I'd like to say hello. Second, these microtransaction prices are ridiculous. Even though I'm (eventually) getting an Xbox One, and am a long time Forza fan, this is absolutely unacceptable. I wish they'd go back to the 4/horizon price system. You could buy the same amount of coins for $10.00, and they'd last the whole game.

metalgod883801d ago (Edited 3801d ago )

Hello and welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay. Anyhoo, I don't like the fact that you have the option to buy tokens or coins or whatever to buy cars in the game, but at least that was a reasonable price. Now it seems as though they want to charge much more because the cars are higher quality and there are less of them to purchase.

Wether the price is worth it is really up to the person, but to me, it feels like I'm being robbed. The game is already $60. Another ~$70 to buy a ton of tokens to buy cars with... That's not for me.

AlphaBlackWolf13801d ago

Is it normal to be banned after one comment? I'm an unbiased person and love both systems. I don't understand how I just got banned? Help me, somebody. I don't want to get banned again. I love this site.

FunAndGun3801d ago

Welcome to N4G. Come for the news, stay for the comments! :)

metalgod883801d ago

Not really sure why you got banned. I thought your comment was pretty clean and straight forward. I guess someone just hates newcomers or something =P Maybe it was a mistake.

AlphaBlackWolf963801d ago

Must've been a glitch, or a moderator saw something was wrong, because now I'm unbanned again. :P

Naga3801d ago

Same thing happened to me twice when I first joined. They told me the ban-bot can get a little trigger-happy.

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551731d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1731d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1731d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

lxeasy2422d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2422d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2422d ago (Edited 2422d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2421d ago

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

TheSaint2421d ago

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

EazyC2422d ago

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides

Keep it neutral, fanboy.

Profile picture, son. I'm an adult, I don't do that fanboy nonsense.
