Letter from America: I love Forza 5 But absolutely hate its microstransactions

Jaz Rignall writes: "It's Thanksgiving out here this week, which means most Americans are taking a couple of days off to lounge around and relax in Boxing Day style. Except those foolish souls prepared to risk being shot, stabbed or trampled to save a buck or two in the depressingly awful spending frenzy that is Black Friday."

This is DLC thing is going to far. Players or clients or casuals, MS, NINTENDO, PC or SONY, we should not abide this kind of practice. If people buy them, they will continue doing this.
Do yourself a favor, Do a favor to the community, simply don't support DLC.

Sayai jin3790d ago

You know, you bring up a good point. I think that DLC was the springboard for micro-t's. Some companies will squeeze a dime out of a penny.

They don't called them microshaft for nothing

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.

bluefox7551729d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1729d 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.

IRetrouk1729d 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.

lxeasy2420d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2420d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2420d ago (Edited 2420d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2420d 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.

TheSaint2419d ago

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

EazyC2420d ago

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

Damn good month. No doubt

senorfartcushion2420d ago

Ps propagandist article and post.

Keep it neutral, fanboy.

senorfartcushion2418d ago

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