Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

I don't have that much space on my Xbox so I wiped Horizon 3 and 4 off my hard drive. However, at present I can redownload them any time from the Xbox store since I own the games.

I just found out how fast the Hennesey Venom F5 is... It's so fast it actually caused a 10-fps drop on my PC! And the highway speed zone/speed trap has a new record.

It is my go-to car for all the 998p weekly speed traps/zones & jumps. Got an ofroad tune for it too so it can do the dirty bits as well.

I got the Mercedes-AMG Hammer Wagon last night and WOW does it make a proper noise! It sounds soo dirty and muscular, not unlike an old-fashioned that V8 you'd find in an American muscle car. I turned off the music just so I could hear it properly. I haven't done that with any car before! I'm not going back to Motorsport ever again. Forza Horizon 5 is perfect for screwing around and having some fun with an unmatched array of vehicles that are soo much more enjoyable to drive than anything in Forza Motorsport. I can enjoy rally cars like the Audi Quattro, electric hypercars like the Pinninfarina Battista, old grand prix racers like the Auto Union Type D, track weapons like the Lamborghini Essenza and performance sedans like the BMW M5. I don't care if it isn't a "sim" per se because I honestly think this game nails the fundamentals like GT7. It captures the feeling of each car without any of the annoying little quirks they may have in a full-on simulator. Forza Horizon offers soo much compared to the likes of Need For Speed, The Crew and Test Drive.

So today we get the new M5 CS. It does look a bit fatter than the old one, but first impressions are it drives nicely. I will no doubt race it plenty in the coming time. It has very good launch even stock...

The eventlab island one in the playlist this week was somewhat insane. Weaving around and jumping down onto the road felt more like an arcade racer than Forza, but I appreciated all those bends to drift the retro Japanese sports car that I was using (Supra iirc).

I liked the environment but the track itself wasn't very fun. The second one around Guanajato just sucked, the walls constantly grab you and it's very annoying.

The M5CS is not bad though, thankfully we can paint the naff copper trim that just doesn't go well with any color.
