I guarantee the ones who paid 2x the value of the base game just for those 4 early days is a minority. Most people paid to get "the whole package" with dlc, car pass and whatnot, the 4 early days being just a welcome perk. But yes, sadly the early access bullshit is unlikely to go away - streamers will always want a head start and microsoft will happily charge them for it.

I got it for the expansions and such. The early access is a bonus though.

I'm planning on getting the base game (after getting the top-tier version the last 3 releases) but not until the pgg minigames are added back, and hopefully yes it goes on sale when it drops for all users.

$70 is too much money for a game. $120 is absolutely insane.

To clarify: it’s not ‘early access’ as in an unfinished mess.

It’s early access, because the premium edition lets you play four days earlier. The base version of the game releases monday, but if you bought the premium version with the future DLC, you got to play it on friday as an added bonus.

But yes, agreed, ‘early access’ as in selling unfinished games needs to stop. It’s an incentive for devs to take the money and run.

Also, a racing game without VR support? What is even the point of that.

Can that version play online?

Yeah but why? I am worried about people if they’re willing to spend $120 on a video game

Escape from reality. $120 is a lot less than buying and keeping any of the cars in the game.

That. And it's safer.

It's probably alot more than that but definitely escaping reality.

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.

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)

Yeah at most you get 50%

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).

Very few people. It's included with the ultimate edition.

Why not?
