Hilariously, it was originally going to be called the Jimmy, but they typo'd the name in the paperwork when Suzuki was getting all the legal stuff sorted out, so here we are.
You care enough to comment
I'm waiting on a mod that reworks the combat so levels play less of a role on enemy health. I despise health sponges, but I otherwise like the pace of the combat.
How else is he gonna fish for likes on this site?
@anast Yes, imagine different people having different impressions of a game...
The most frustrating thing about this is that Harebrained Schemes just got about 80% of its staff laid off by Paradox. HBS made the successful BattleTech game a few years back, but Paradox shot down their pitch for a sequel, since they wanted HBS to focus on their own IP, and not one that they needed to give MS royalties to.
This is strictly Paradox's fault, since they gave The Lamplighters League virtually no marketing, so of course it was bound to not find an audience...
The Dynamic Render Quality is a big one. Why they couldn't provide a more straightforward explanation of how it works, I don't know. This is one of the big reasons why many people believed that the game runs terribly at lower resolutions, because you'd expect to set everything at ultra in the settings, but the Render Quality settings correspond to specific resolutions.
Ultra forces the game to output at 4K, even if that's not the screen resolution, with Hig...

Couch co-op isn't a major strike. Is it nice to have? Absolutely. But not if it compromises on the game's mechanics and graphics in order to have the game render twice for the two screens. This was a non-issue in older games, which didn't hide objects outside your view, which meant that there was virtually no performance loss in split-screen. The same isn't true for modern games now.

That's not an answer...
If the evidence is the day 1 car pack, then that has been a constant in every single game in the series. You get a day 1 car pack, the car pass, and usually a paid car pack by the end of the game's content support. You otherwise get new cars every update for free, usually one car as a reward every week for the week's challenges. We don't quite know how this will work with FM, though. It's possible they ...
"Graphically looks last gen, especially when it comes to interior car rendering."
It's hit and miss, depending on weather and time of day. Some points it looks absolutely incredible, others less so. They need to implement more natural-looking shaders.
"Heavily Monetised Gaas approach."
I fail to see any monetization. Care to provide evidence?
"Lacking in content compared to previous installments."
The Harmony Gold lawsuits certainly helped, but Piranha Games's MWO/MW5, Hairbrained Schemes' Battletech game, and the tabletop BattleTech kickstarters' immense success brought significant attention to the IP, enough so that even Target is carrying starter boxes.
No better time than now while BattleTech's popularity is exploding
This article doesn't mention that this roadmap was presented by MS before they acquired Zenimax, this was just a dream roadmap for them, which you can already tell is significantly different in the first few years from what we have now. This can't be taken with any form of confidence with how the world and gaming climate changed since 2020.
I don't think you're getting downvoted for dissing Xbox, I think it's because you're praising the controller
I say this as someone who's been a Forza fan pretty much from the beginning and played every Horizon game at launch, but there's not much you need to do to beat Horizon 5 in certain aspects. The game has phenomenal graphics and physics, but it feels hollow given the lack of a proper story and structure, and you so much as sneeze and you end up with half a dozen new cars that you probably don't have time to really enjoy before the next batch is practically given to you.

I love the Motorstorm series, but that's a very different genre of racing game. It's still a crime that Sony shut down Evolution, and I hope that someone tries to do a spiritual successor some day.
Loading takes no more than a couple seconds on my nvme, so sounds like something on your end.
How else will the naysayers accomplish their agenda?
You're joking, right?
Performance got a huge boost with last year's patch. Something like upwards of 30%, which seems right from my own experience.
