I have been playing Forza 5 and really got into it. I used to like racing games but last 2-3 versions just did not do it for me. F5 though seems to be different. Yeah, Driveatars are definitely an interesting component here.
There are a few annoyances with it too though:
- Not enough tracks. Need more tracks. I expect they will show but they will be pay for content...
- ... which leads me to #2: after paying $60 for a game, it seems like there is too much push to micro transactions within the game, IMO
- There seems to be a lot of grinding needed to afford higher level cars due to game economics?
Here is a tip though: log on to rewards.forzamotorsport.net and check if you have any rewards. I did yesterday and found there is a cool 1,000,000 credits waiting for me and I am half way to next level already too. That helps a bit with #3 above...
