Forza Horizon 4 has an amazing amount of content that will keep you busy for a long time and rewards you for playing how you want to play.
An upcoming change in Forza Horizon 4 can prevent completionist gamers from earning all achievements in the open-world racing game.
Steam Deck stats show that Forza Horizon 4 is now in the top 10 played for the handheld device. An 80% discount and FOMO does help its cause.
Microsoft appears to be setting a great example for its fans by sending them free codes for Forza Horizon 4.
I'll give praise when praise is due. This is a great move on Microsoft's part. Kudos.
.....Forza Horizon 4 should have never been delisted this early though. I never particularly cared for the music, they could replace or remove music tracks for all I care. You don't see Gran Turismo delisting their games bc of licensed music. Make better decisions in the production stage if the music you choose is going to cause the entire game to get deleted from gaming history.
"You don't see Gran Turismo delisting their games bc of licensed music."
That's false. You assume it's music license? It's the same with Gran Turismo
Gran Turismo Sport was released in October 2017 and delisted in 2023. All servers shut down, impacting the game's functionality.
Forza Horizon games, when delisted, you will still be able to play multiplayer. .
But it's not just music that's a problem the cars themselves are licensed to along with car accessories.
It's like licensing for any sports game or even a old-school Tony hawk game where every inch of the game is a licensing agreement from boards and wheels to skaters to music.
It's the biggest problem with sports game longevity and driving falls into the category
No, with Game Pass there's extra deals that gives you 10% off all DLCs. You don't need to own the game.
@gold_drake
Could be cheaper to buy DLC on sale if you enjoy the game a lot on Gamepass and then wait for a sale on the game if you want to “own it.” 🤷♂️
I do it all the time. Buy a season pass while it's on sale and then Gamefly the game. Still cheaper than buying it.
If it's a MS first party game you could assume the game will be on the service forever (obviously this game has licensing deals that don't allow that). So yes, people can and do buy dlc for games and assume they have the base game for as long as they have gamepass. Crazy right? We live in a world where people choose how to spend their own money.
So apparently people really are buying DLC for games they rent.
That's very interesting. I'm quite interested to see how this shakes out for Call of Duty this year. Given FH4 is about 6 years old though, if it's any indication for the move going forward, you'll be waiting a while for that benefit to come through. Possible 5 full COD iterations later.
Sure, and they're regularly put out. Being delisted hardly matters with an annual franchise.
My point is I'm interested in seeing what DLC purchasing trends look like for those playing Call of Duty on game pass
Same, As it could turn out costing people more. With cod mw1 and MW2 I played both monthly right up until the next cod came out. So mw1 (2019) - cold war and MW2 - MW3. MW2 cost me £58 on disc. Think I bought the battle pass twice. If I was to do the GP route. It cost me £8 a month for GP so total cost £96 and at the end of that I loose access unless I buy it or continue renting. Then if I buy a few battle passes. It's just going to cost a lot more.
However, Credit where it's due. I felt ripped off with MW3. Wish I didn't buy it. At least with the new black ops I can rent on the cheap for a month. If I enjoy i can get it on pc or playstation. If I hate it i got to try it for £8.
Amazing Reviews. Can’t Wait unti next tuesday
"From day and night cycles to dynamic weather and now seasons in Horizon 4 the series continually finds new ways to improve with each title."
it only took 4+ years for them to attain what DC did a long time ago.
congrats to FH4 for finally joining the future. it's still not on the same level, graphically, as DC but congrats all the same.
