Maybe I just don’t know how my system is in context, but it’s cool to see it would comfortably fit in the Extreme RT category. Didn’t peg a 9070xt for that performance spec, but I won’t complain.
Won’t be on Horizon anyway, shit is….bad imo, for a big racing fan. The driving just kinda sucks, and such an emphasis is placed on off-road driving, you’d think it would have any kind of emphasis placed on how it feels and handles. But nope, shit is just….bad. I don’t expect 6 to improve in any meaningful way either, because why would they need to? The hype is insane simply because Japan and Cherry Blossoms.

Horizon 5 rallying feels great, but only on long-travel suspensions that don’t bounce like a cartoon.
Try the RJ Anderson #37 Pro2 truck, soften the suspension/tires, fatten the rear tires and take on that downhill mountain course. It’s utter bliss. I like the Ford Ranger T6 too.
…But yeah, it’s too arcadey. The campaign is so sycophantic and stupid, and MP matchmaking racing is so broken. I’ll probably skip 6 too.

Forza just kinda lost its racing appeal, I think. The settings are great, the visuals are great, the vibe is usually good, if a bit corny, but Forza has just turned into a hardware showcase with a good-if-dated physics model there. I don’t think anyone is playing Forza Horizon because the racing is great, and that is kinda the crux of my issue with it.
Which sucks, cause I played the HELL out of FM2, FM3, especially FM4, and they have just kinda coasted since. The most recent Motorsport was supposed to boast some robust online ranked racing, and it was the most measly ranked system in existence, penalties weren’t consistent, and the game has basically died out, even as of 2024.
