Comment on Racing fans, is Forza Horizon 6 for me?

I don’t recall if burnout had cop chases, but if it did, note that FH games are very milquetoast, in that they try to not feature anything resembling illegal driving. If you fancy those, The Crew 1 (or 2) might be more your thing. Otherwise, FH is imo the single best non-sim open world racing game. It gives you a huge playground to dick around in, a crapton of cars, allows tuning, looks great (even on lower end hardware), sounds great and features arcadey but still somewhat complex handling. Its biggest sins are the fact that it requires servers, so it’s not exacly future-proof, it features some FOMO stuff and wheelspin gambling mechanics which are bound to get worse in FH6 (nothing ptw though), and it’s tied in to a microsoft account.

forzas do work offline, but since they handle connections, online features won’t, there’s no p2p

True but for FH3+ they were further integrated with the Xbox login and I don’t think you can try them without an actjal account and login. I did emulate FH1+2 and they were perfectly playable as SP games

didn’t you need to create an account since at least the 360?
or the difference is that you didn’t need to do it online there?
also did you use xenia? has it come that far? or something else
