[–] magnue@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (5 children) Always wanted to try Forza but I've never ever seen it on sale at a reasonable price. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 child) I bought Forza Horizon 4 on sale for $20 last year. I think it came with all the DLC or whatever. That seemed like a good price. I played a bunch and I'd say it was worth it. The game really pushes you to pay more money to buy more things, but I just ignored it. Overall $20 felt right. I'd buy Forza Horizon 6 or whatever for $20 in a few years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] datavoid@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (2 children) In bought forza 4 last year too.. but I had to buy it from a third party code seller, as it was removed from storefronts for no apparent reason.

Though both the real forza 4, horizon 4 and every other forza that had a digital release pre-horizon 5 got removed was just due to expiring licenses for some of the cars and the music. Considering they usually only last 4 years on digital storefronts, with fh4 getting culled after 6 years, I'd give fh5 another year and a half before they stop selling it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Stiggyman@ani.social 2 points 3 months ago Yeah at most you get 50% permalink fedilink source parent [–] rapchee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago you can now try the earlier ones with xenia (horizon 1 is cringe inducing for me, but the driving is good, motorsport is a gran turismo ripoff, but more forgiving, especially with rewind) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Poopfeast420@lemmy.zip 1 point 3 months ago* FH4 was heavily discounted before it was removed from stores (because of license deals), so FH5 will most likely get the same treatment, although it might take a few more years (and FH6 much later after that). permalink fedilink source parent [+] scala@lemmy.ml -2 points 3 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jedibob5@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago As someone who played a lot of FH5 on Game Pass, that never happened. The DLCs added new content, they never took away existing content and locked it behind the DLC. You must have misunderstood something. permalink fedilink source parent
