Playing Forza for 2 days showed me why The Show is struggling
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN this is from everything read and hear the very definition of a system seller. Multiple resources have called it the greatest racing game ever
-
That’s not the problem because the prices of everything would just go up. The problem is cheaters generating unlimited stubs 24/7 and bots in the market. SDS needs to wake up
Lol they want Ohtani to be 7,340,500 stubs because we all get 15,000 stubs a conquest game. The problem is the pull rate and exploits. Also add in the fact if you start today you can finish the program for Soto and Lindor hundreds of XP faster than people playing from Day 1. People cheating having 30 accounts and trade on St Pattys day Mike Trout 300,000 stubs at a time lmao. It’s so easy.
-
@The412Smoke_XBL yeah sadly I’m on ps5. So I need to wait for the ps5 drop but somebody did say gameplay is typically the same game to game. Is it worth it to wait for 6 or just buy 5 for 49$?
5 has been and will be way cheaper than 49$ especially with a new one coming out. Wait till it’s 10$ or buy the new one.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN I would say go with 6. The scenery & graphics of Japan are just SO STUNNING.
-
@The412Smoke_XBL ok yeah I’ll probably just wait till 6 then when do u think it will drop on ps5 I haven’t played forza since horizon 2 on the 360
-
I hadn't played a Forza Horizon game since 3, so I was really excited when 5 came to the ps5. I played it a ton. I bought an Xbox series X last week so I could get 6 at release, and also play some other games on Gamepass.
Horizon 6 is way better than 5, so if you want to just get one I'd wait until 6 comes to the ps5. If you care about the festivals and anything online you won't really get to enjoy much of that with 5 since most everyone already has or will migrate to the new game. They did a really great job with 6. I've been playing it nonstop since Friday.
-
@aldridg6in_PSN I’m gonna wait for 6 any idea how long the wait will be also what are festivals. Last time I played I was like 10 and only drove around lol.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN Festivals are basically month long programs that give you different cars and rewards. There are 4 weeks with different races/tasks that reward different things, so if you miss a week you basically miss out unless those festivals come back up later in the cycle. They generally do but it could be a while. When 5 got to ps5 they had a voting system in place where the festival with the most votes was the next one up. I don't know if it was that way in the beginning of the cycle, and 6 doesn't have one up until next week.
All I can find is "later in 2026", so I'm going to guess that's November/December to give Xbox users a good 6 months of exclusivity. I could be wrong about that though.
-
Oh ok that’s not to much of a wait. I’m kinda excited to get it and venture out of my comfort zone of sports games.
-
I would say the difference is actually fun. FH6 is a joy to play, no matter what you are doing. The Show feels like an incredibly unrewarding job at a company that hates you.
-
This is so true it’s sad.

THIS! 100%
Like how fun is racing against other Door Dashers to make food deliveries? When I first saw you can make coin by door dashing between races I thought it was cute - But it’s REALLY fun!
-
Maybe I should play some MLB The Show today before Forza enters wide release tomorrow. I still have some Cardinals to Acquire but right now Ozzie and Gibby will take almost all of my stubs. Then I will be up a creek the next time they put a Cardinal in a pack or behind a mode I don't play.
I have not even earned Edmonds yet
-
The problem is stubs, Period…SDS simply doesn’t award enough stubs across the entire mode to be able to upgrade your team in a reasonable amount of time. In Forza you earn a good amount of credits for just playing the game. And it doesn’t take forever to save up & make significant upgrades. That makes it fun & the grind feel rewarding. This is how SDS could fix it…Say you load into a game of Conquest - You should get 1000 stubs for a homer, 750 for a triple, 500 for a double…Win the game? 5000 stubs, Lose the game? 2500 stubs…Then just double the values for online play…This would make grinding for players MUCH healthier. There’s simply just not enough ways to earn enough stubs to make a difference currently. This would provide that & players would actually FEEL that they’re working towards a reasonable goal.
Lol this is a completely ignorant post about 2 completely different games. First off stubs for HR? Seriously, how would that even be a good idea? You'd just have people doing nothing but going in against the CPU on rookie and hitting tanks at Costco. This would effectively make EVERY single card more expensive. You'd be paying 50-100k for bronze cards. Next I just completely completed live series collection NMS. Only got lucky 1 pull with judge and collected him. You get sooooooo many packs from grinding it's not even funny. Did the new mural mini season on a 28 game 3 innings on All-star run and by the end had 200 different packs to open. So even if you pull nothing but silvers in those packs thats 5k stubs in just silver equipment and jerseys to sell. Then you end up with 12 ballin packs and get 1 low 400 stub gold oh another 5k just on those. And odds are you will get lucky and get something. So please stop with the complete disinformation, simply because you lack the information or ability to do the work.
-
@Rhyno1986_XBL when that ‘something’ you get for getting lucky is worth 3000 stubs or whatever it doesn’t really register, but sure

Thanks Ramone.
Ramone hasn't called the shots in the last 3 games. But when he did, this game was great.

Forza Horizon 2 on XBO was the GOAT of the series.

Truth about Ramone. He was around during the glory years.
I got Forza 5 late. I'm definitely getting 6 being a "racing-head."
