  Great video as always!<br>I agree that FH3 was the best title of the series. FH4 was good in the beginning, but rapidly lost its attractiveness to me because it felt so, meh, compared to the masterpieces that 2 and 3 were. And I really put some great hopes into FH5 but was once again disappointed. It is probably my least played Horizon title and mind you, I started with FH2 (also with the 360 port, so same as you xD) and only played FH1, afterwards at the time when 3 was a year old or so. <br>The only fun I had in 5, was driving up and down the volcano in a slightly tuned Miata, which also got very boring, very quickly...<br><br>I also started with FM3 as my first ever Forza and I hop back every once in a while. You know a game is great, if you enjoy to revisit it even so many years later!<br><br>At this point, I dont even know if they can stop the decline anymore. I am really, really hoping that the new Motorsport will be a good game again. Same goes for whatever a new Horizon title would look like... Id wish for a good single player campaign with a REAL story line (The &quot;stories&quot; in 4 and 5 are a joke), aswell as an environment, which feels more organic and diverse, like it did in FH3. Australia was the perfect map for a Horizon game, since it combined all the different &quot;zones&quot; of the map sooooo well. The environment always felt vivid but also natural. GB and Mexico in comparison kinda feel dull and the same-ish all around the map.<br><br>As to other racing games, I am most excited for TDU Solar Crown and I hope it will show us an upswing, or a turning point for the WHOLE racing game industry.

  FH5 is the prime example of &quot;So much to do, no reason to do it&quot;

  I love how in the first Horizon, you start as a nobody and you earn your way to the top. All of the new ones, you are the center of attention and it just feels like some &quot;influencer&quot; power fantasy

  When did the western gaming industry decide that &quot;playlists&quot; and &quot;battle passes&quot; are a proper substitute for a properly designed single player progression? This kinda affected all genres and ruined entire franchises, but for some reason racing games got hit the hardest. Not a SINGLE mainstream racing game resisted succumbing to the death of proper single player progression.<br>The fact that there are entire big Youtube channels dedicated to replaying GT4 over and over again TO THIS DAY with different rules and challenges should tell you the caliber of what we lost.

  I remember Forza Horizon 2 was advertised as &quot;you can go almost anywhere on the map!&quot;<br>First thing I did was collide with an indestructible guardrail.

  FH1&apos;s singleplayer with it&apos;s armband system is just goated. Forever in my heart. I&apos;ve beaten the game like 5 times, with last time being May2023 and if definitive edition ever comes out I will cry

  I want Horizon to go back to being about climbing your way to the top and with races being locked to certain car classes or car types. I would also like for the game to not be so easy to get everything. You can get the fastest cars in the game in like a hour or two just because wheel spins are so easy to get. I started with the first Horizon game when it came out and it gave a reason to keep playing.

  I remember while playing FH4, after getting bored of doing the series constantly, I&apos;d just customize a police car and post up on the motorway and chase people trying to drag race. Gotta make your own fun somehow

  Awesome video. Forza Horizon 4 will always hold a very special place in my heart. I remember getting this for Christmas, and I was super excited since, I only played Motorsport, but the 5th Motorsport was so bad, so I decided to give horizon 3 a shot, and I thought it was awesome. So once I got Horizon 4, I immediately played it for 10 hours a day. I had so much fun, and has always been my most played game. I never really had a problem, and I never really played multiplayer. It was amazing, and I had so much fun. I will always love this game. Honestly underrated

  Every Horizon game after the first one is missing the one thing that made the first game so great, the progression. Having to build your cars to be competitive in a restricted car class with the limited money you had from competing in the previous races was amazing. I feel like they went way too far in giving players the freedom to choose what car they used to the point where you could be driving races in some of the fastest cars in the game only a couple hours into the game. Nothing about that is rewarding and it ruined the series for me.

  Damn FH3 during its peak is definitely one of my top 5 games of all time, sad to see where it’s gone from then
