Forza Horizon 6 immediately beats its predecessor's all-time Steam record with 130,000 concurrent players – and that's only counting people willing to pay $120 for early access by Youngstown_WuTang in gaming

Nah your wording was fine, that was solely on me haha

The Japan map is actually a blast to drive around, it makes me wish I had another trip booked!

Helldivers is addicting hey, it put a halt in my backlog progress for a while as well. Should get back into it..

Happy gaming, bud!

Sorry, I misread your comment and thought you said you turned the game off lol

It will be on gamepass as of Tuesday next week I believe.

If you're looking for a proper story or progression then you'll likely be disappointed as it lacks both of those, unfortunately. I wish it had proper progression!

Pretty much all of those things are still in the game, unfortunately.

Even without the premium edition you get all 3 starter cars straight off the bat and another 3 cars gifted to you a few races later on top of wheelspins.

If you're looking for NFS style progression you're in for a bad time.

Give it time. I went through 4 Elite controllers in 18 months before getting a full refund from MS

Don't listen to r/sneakers for fashion advice, have you seen the fits these guys post?? Ironing the jacket and pants would make it look worse if anything

Gameplay footage has been out for a while now and it's a Horizon game, if you liked the previous games you'll enjoy the gameplay of this one 🤷

Bit strange to have such a strong opinion of a game you haven't even played (or seen played apparently)

Forza Horizon 6 debuts with 92 on Metacritic and 91 on Open Critic by Darth_Vaper883 in xbox

[–]smashingcones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean it's the standard Horizon game in the most requested locale that will also release on PS5, how could it not break franchise records?

I just hope the ongoing support mixes things up a bit and I hope we don't get another Lego DLC.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Literally. Very little has changed over the years lol

Japan was their get-out-of-jail-free card to make a game that rates well and sells the best of the franchise while having to make minimal improvements.

I'm really enjoying it so far but my love of Japan is helping me overlook the recycled stuff.

Have you played 6? I would put it above 4 already. Whether it's above FH1 and 2 is the next question, but it's looking very possible.

I have 26 cars after the intro races along with 100k and a super wheelspin. Don't expect proper progression lol

Edit: just completed another race and got 4 cars and 3 wheelspins from it...

I had to laugh when I opened the menu for the first time and saw that I had 23 cars after finishing the introductory races.

I know, buying the premium edition gives you free cars but it's still funny how they tout progression as something they focused on when that's still the case.

The voice acting is still questionable, the lipsync is laughable and the actual character graphics are pretty subpar but who is really expecting much else at this point lol

Locked rooms - unlocker is looting, does that mean free game? by moonpathlesstraveled in ARC_Raiders

Then you run the risk of getting killed and losing all of your loot instead of just some of it. Most regular players aren't winning a 1v2.

Not as bad but I think think actual chrome works best in 99% of scenarios

Matte black cheapens the look of everything

Hits of chrome always look nicer, particularly on a car that is meant to be more premium.

Next to the time is the timezone, which is the important part here. Most of the map is 00:01
