Yes. Yes. It’s what I expect the first day youre able to play the game. I’m not impressed.

I doubt you will, since you call yourself a "sony pony".

Its either you are a troll, or you are taking your shit seriously.

Game havent sold any normal premium yet. It took laou2 4 days to get 4m. F5 got 1m before the real launch window.

Honestly kids like you are what makes it hard for people to enjoy either console.

I feel like I have the best car I've ever had, and I'm still very early on. So yeah, you can role play on your own and drive some clunkers but he's right about everything being more immediate.

Well I’m leeching from Gamepass so I can’t complain but in 3 and 4 the beast cars could be very expensive. In 4 they had houses with bonuses so that was a big part of the progression. From what I understand they still have that in 5.

This game is not that sort of game, at all. It's about collecting and enjoying cars and racing them in exciting places. A B rank car can be just as fun to race with as an S+ ranked one. There are legendary Barn Find cars that are low B ranked cars. This game isn't about min maxing and progressing, It's about everything you do being fun an exciting.

I’ve played 3 and 4 a couple hundred hours so I know how the serie is structured, I know it’s fun to just fool around etc but you could never just go buy the best cars from the start. Maybe you exaggerated a bit?
There was the wheelspins though, I’ve never liked how easy it is to get cars that way, they kinda just throw them at you. The barn finds were lots of work though, and worth it, loved the cars and the talks

forza horizon is not a carpg

Idk, unless they’ve changed it now you create a character, go through a story mode, do side activities, level up, find loot, upgrade. CARPG is not a bad summary at all

1.3 million now….New Zealand has had one hell of a population spurt, but I guess after Sauron got defeated it would be a decent place to live.

 

[pasterpl]

So we can safely say that ms sold over 1 million copies of premium edition of forza h5 and probably shit loads of standard ones that we will see in numbers starting tomorrow

[KaitlyynDuff]

I love this game, looks very realistic than most racing games lol

 

[MaulerX]

Pretty much 1M early access. Might be close to 1.5M by the time it officially launches on Tuesday.

The thirst is real. Amazing fucking game.

Quoting myself from yesterday....

Jesus it actually blew past 1.5M

 

[kingfey]

That is like 200k at $100, the rest at 50$ on average, the game would made around $85m.

This is without regular day1 sales, and gamepass sales. This is honestly quite sick, and shows gamepass+pc helps MS alot.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Early access and already 1m? Amazing work PG. With gamepass, this game will simply explode. My brothers are waiting for it!

And in one month we get a Halo with 100% free multiplayer and the campaign on GamePass.

Even though I didn't like what I saw from Halo, this is one of those times I wish I had an Xbox. Fuck me.

 

[Hinedorf]

16gb to go to have it ready for midnight release woo! My only experiences with Forza were through gamepass and I didn't last more than a few hours hoping this one sticks with me.

Finally a workout for my CX, it looks godly.

I just ended a session 20 mins ago and it was at 1,9 M

Pretty sure you need to finish the intro stuff and get to the leaderboard to be counted.

I’m at work, is it out now on GP in EU?

 

[M1chl]

Seems like it, there are ads "play FH5 now with GamePass" CEST time zone.

 

[anthony2690]

I’m at work, is it out now on GP in EU?

Yeah, has been since midnight

Also curious off the current player count today, has it beat FH4 week one numbers yet?

 

[Yeagerist754]

Just taken on Xcloud. Plays surprisingly well.
I think #1 might be cheating.

Better than the old COD leaderboards during the 360 days where the top 100,000 players had billions of wins and a negative kill count! Those tards never even bothered fixing it.

Damn impressive! Gonna give this a go in a little bit

Went up 50K in 20 mins. Now 2,8M. Good pace

I wouldn't be surprised if this does Sea of thieves numbers over the years. An established IP with an already huge player base from 4 surely can hit the 20 million player mark as well.

FH4 already had Sea of Thieves numbers. This will surely outpace it.

This is going to break records! Many of us are still just preparing dinner after coming home from work. I’m doing homework with the kids at the moment. Can’t wait to jump in tonight!

 

[EverydayBeast]

At least you can come out of playing forza with better driving knowledge, it’s a publicly respected franchise.

How is this on PC? Reviews on Steam are currently Mixed.

Over 3 million.

Okay, this should be post of the year.

 

[DigitalScrap]

It’s estimates. That’s what I said. 18 million GP subscribers assuming most are at 15$ tier vs 47 million PS Plus but at 10$ tier.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Only noon time too (eastern time). Tons of people wont even try it until after dinner. Might break 4M by end of today.

 

[Kacho]

63k people are playing on Steam and it’s rising fast. Not even at peak hours yet.

[LeftThumbstick]

Give it a week i can easily see between 6-10 million, or i'm being overly optimistic.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Must be the reason for low numbers on that CoD thread

 

[KyoZz]

RT mod for open world gameplay????!!!

WHERE??

A few technical problems that not everyone is geting. I have had a few little niggles but overall its been working good for me. A lot of PC gamers reporting crashes buit i have had zero crashes so far.
Steam reviews are not great to use as a reference point as a lot of the negative reviews are for stuff like their paticular brand of racing wheel isnt working with the gameetc. I even saw one negative review that said the game was arguably his GOTY but he gave it anegative review because one of the body kits on one of the Nissan cars had too wide skirts compared to reallife, and no i'm not joking.

 

[Fredrik]

Smashed my first XP board, on top of a roof at a building at the peak of a hill, awesome game

apparently discord is causing a lot of crashes on PC version, so maybe what ubisoft said, its not that far off lmao. either way, my gamepass version with windows store, absolutely zero issues but i dont have discord open.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Wheres that poster who predicted on launch day FH5 might only sell $1 million of dollar sales (not units) because the early release sales were already creeping up to a million on the weekend? And in the same post claimed FH5 should compare to Guerrilla's Horizon Zero Dawn in sales and if it doesnt it sucks.

 

[DaGwaphics]

That's quite the first board. The first one I hit was just sitting out in the street. LOL

 

[ManaByte]

Over 3 million.

I guess now Xbox has games.

 

[Yeagerist754]

 

[DenchDeckard]

If it hits 4 million on launch day, that's got to be insane right?

For a racing game...kekw.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Wait.. you mean. What!? Out of nowhere!
