Yeah! Totally agree. The opening intro is astounding on every one I’ve ever tried and, this time, it’s definitely gonna be the one I like as much as the rest of you lot. And then I hit the festival start grid and from there it just feels degenerates to something that really feels like it needs much more careful thought than what it just keeps doing.

Edit. At regs post up there.

Did you try knocking off the accolades? That seems to be the more curated experience if you want it, it’s just easily ignored too.

If you bounced off FH5 then I'm sad to say it's because you're simply not grown and sexy enough. I'm sorry. It is what it is. God bless.

Imagine wanting to glitch a Forza game fuck me

Just to add my tuppence-worth to the Forza Horizon discussion. 4 was my first, a little over a year ago. It has pulled me in, so I don’t think it’s entirely fair to say that it’s too opaque for new players. Yes, the map is full of stuff, but simply learning to use the right bumper to filter what it shows turns it from ‘too much stuff’ to ‘the right amount of the stuff I want to do right now’. I’d be pissed off if a more linear approach meant I had to complete street racing or drifting before I got to something I liked more. I’d also be pissed off if there were fewer events of the things I like. Filtering the map means you can play the way you want, and there’s a hefty chunk of things to do on map. I can’t really get my head around the notion of unlocking the full roster of cars before you even start to play the game ‘properly’. The game throws cars at you for playing. I also can’t get on board with the idea that the cars feel the same. Christ, the tuning options alone mean that any individual car can feel wildly different depending on how you tune it, let alone from one car to the next. Perhaps having too many assists switched on is the issue there. There are other things I could point to which might be described as a disappointment. The fact that the user-placed furniture in blueprints don’t work as expected (either not saving correctly, or things like spectator stands sitting empty). The fact that, when racing online, other racers can only borrow the leader’s car, as opposed to any of the five other cars the leader has for that spec, or another racer’s car. (I get that they want people to play the game to unlock cars themselves, but you could make more available, but limit the earning of XP to when you are driving your own car.) Hell, even the fact that online is still a horribly broken mess is disappointing.

Back 4 Blood. I don't think anything could live up to the idealised joy that the L4D games brought me in the past, even a game that is to all intents and purposes exactly the same in concept and execution. So why is it the most disappointing? Because no one here really played it and the real fun with these games is to be had in MP with friends.

I'd be up for it, I liked it but like you say nobody is playing.

Disco Elysium for me. I wanted to like it but I just can't play those sort of games. The highlight was chalice's review. Still makes me smirk now. It went something like....
couldn't find my shoe, uninstalled.
Nonsense.
