10 Small Issues That ANNOY Me in Forza Horizon 5! 

They should let us upgrade the airport drag strip when we progress through the game, they could add that to other parts of the game.

related to the pop up issue, I hate going for a cruise and triggering a PR stunt on every other road. And when you swerve to avoid a drift zone, you still have the ugly blue flags ruining the vibe of the drive- we need to have the ability to turn off PR stunts

I've been playing FH4 the last couple of days and have noticed that many details are just downgraded in FH5. The main example I can think of is the backfire sound/visual effects. Well, I kinda like the new VFX on FH5 because of how "quick" it is and it feels more natural, but I have no idea why they got rid of all the variety in the backfire sounds, there used to be like 5 or more different sounds for the exhaust pops which depended on the type of car and even the exhaust the car had installed

What annoys me the most? STREET RACING The "Street Racing"" in Forza is the dumbest most boring thing I've ever seen in a racing game. It always goes like this: "Hey Jake" "Hi Paul" "Say, my friend, you want to participate in some very secret races going down? :D" "Why yes Paul :) I DO" And then the actual race, literally the most positive racing with with the most positive soundtrack ever. why the actual hell am i listening to opera in this race with cars going at completely legal speed? Look, if you aren't gonna do it right, JUST DON'T DO IT! :0 crazy i know.

When change the filter for the map it should also remove it as a pop up thing

The worst is drift Zones where you actually have to drive off the road and back on otherwise it will trigger ghost mode for the ais

My main problem is forza is trying to recreate unicorn cars and doing it wrong. After a car is unlocked, it should be put on the autoshow. If you dont unlock the car in the playlist, and you buy it in the auction house, after that it should be available in the autoshow. Old Unicorn cars from like FM4 and other games were different because they were special versions of cars of cars already in the game. There's no reason why the Toyota Celica qnd the AE86 are only available on the auction house or in the forzathon shop or wheelspins

To me, horizon 5's map also feels very desolate because of the overall lack of manmade structures compared to the previous titles. I think H5 feels more like a reskin of H4 with a different setting. The lack of game changing features is what is making the series feel repetitive now.

idk but now that you mention it, a racing game set in the 60s sounds really fcking cool 😅

Every car that isn’t a barn find or Forza Edition (FE) should be in the autoshow. Money should also be rewarded based on how long and difficult a race is instead of randomising credits behind wheelspins

I think the truth is Forza Horizon was competing with Test Drive unlimited and to steer the customer base towards them they actually put alot of features and details and atmosphere into the earlier iterations of horizon. Even then they didnt have what TDU2 had. But now that TDU is no more they don't see the need to actually build upon their previously demanding consumer base because they are now "The only gig in town"...

Just finished watching your other video and this one put let the marathon going 🍿🍿🍿

Another problem is drift zones, when you are cruising, you still have the flags everywhere and it just honestly ruins it, even if you don’t activate the drift zone the flags are still there which kinda sucks tbh

I had good expectations about this game but I think I exceeded that, FH5 has a boring map even more than FH3 map but FH3 map had better aesthetics and atmosphere, and yes the exclusive car system is annoying, I never liked the festival playlist system since it was implemented in FH4, I hate PR stunts and it is more of a task than fun to have to complete the festival playlist to get the exclusive cars, I would like to have another option to get those cars apart from the auction house, festival playlist… For me FH2 will continue to be the best forza horizon, FH3 was also very good, in fact it was the last great Horizon

I personally love the atmosphere and older style buildings in Fh5 but we definitely need some better hangout spots like the parking lot and gas station from Fh3

the thing is, Forza NEVER listen to what we ask, they add maybe one or two tiny features the players ask for every game to disguise the fact they’ve done nothing else, and then add mostly recycled new cars, like the AMG GT.

Also i realized how forza can add indicators blinkers, by removing link it's possible to add indicators. by using the left d-pad button for indicators instead of link

None of this really bothers me if I'm gonna be honest. The most annoying thing would be the pop ups but even then, still not that big of a deal to me.

One thing you mentioned in a previous video is the transition from FH2 to FH3 is the template for the game felt new and modernized. Fh1 and 2 even felt modernized. Fh3 seems the most modern to present day. It seems like they've gone backwards like in Horizon 4 everything feels old too like in Horizon 5. This needs to be fixed but you know it won't. The developers are so lazy and unmotivated now it's not gonna happen.

8:01 blackpanthaa 💀

We need customizable exhaust tips. I hate putting body kits on cars only to find out they still have the stock exhaust tips.

FH2 had the best atmosphere in my opinion. I really vibed to it. 3 was pretty good too but after that it fell off.

I feel like fh4 just had way more of an identity than fh5. When I play 4 I feel like I’m in a social environment rather than a barren land by myself like when I play 5.

Agree with the Pop ups and the lack of people in the city. One other thing that personally annoys me, you just want to go for a hoon off-road? you flying across the map though the forest or across the fields then out of the blue a Trail Blazer pops up at the last second and it activates it or your driving along just cruising listening to you music having fun and a Horizon Arcade is across the road your on, so you have to pause the game to see how long it has to start. if its long enough you can carry on and drive though it, 8 seconds left, you have to wait or turn around.

No one really talks about this but the interior view on some cars are just so dark..even cars without windows or roofs like the BAC mono..

For the pop ups. Just go to the map and go the guide that tells you what each symbol is and turn them off. They won't pop up on the mini map either

I so especially agree with you on the cockpit camera not being good enough. We should be able to move it around. But also I would like to see out my backwindow also when I look back. That rocked and was so special in TDU

I love how you started out with the jackultramotive harlequin r8! Great taste.

I agree with the fov on console too, i honestly hate the fact that u cant adjust it. The new rs3 has a decent fov range but i wish more cars were like that

omd i hate that u cant quick sell as i dont have the auction house on my xbox so like i have so many cars that i have so many of and cant sell them unless i get the same car from a wheelspin then yh i can sell it

my only thought for why the interior are not 3d is because, due to the increased map size, if they put actual interiors it would make it unplayable on xbox one. fh3 similarities are understandable as well the Australia was very diverse and had everything in it, so when they tried to make a diverse map it was inevitable it looked like Australia. i do like abandoned places in the game, but the airstrip is the wrong place to do it, a new airstrip would be better. overall your points agree with. very good video

With the player Avatars too, all the clothing options and personalisation I wish they would give us something to do. Even just a social/walkaround share Forza Vista car meet type thing, have meetup cars and coffee and hang out and pop hoods on cars.

I wish we could put matte and shiny paint on a car simultaneously

6:38 The pop up thing has existed since FH1. It's not going away lol

To me Fh5 just does not feel like fh3, fh3 felt so much more vibrant and adventurous in a way. fh5 feels dead and I'm not just talking about the cities. I thought fh5 might be a mix of fh2 and fh3 in terms of atmosphere but I don't think it is anymore. Its presentation is so much less exaggerated to achieve a realistic look and it makes the game so much duller. This is one of the reasons I think fh5 is the worst horizon on top of the fact that the map is incredibly empty and boringly designed if you forget about the multiple biomes, and even fh4 felt much more alive. Fh5 is really making me lose hope for this franchise, it lost so much of its charm. I was really hyped for this game and it did not deliver, I'm not making the same mistake for fh6. Like it's really disappointing that when looking at your comparisons to fh3, fh5 looks so dull. Horizon should be radiating with energy and life (yes I do think fh4 actually does a better job at this than fh5, especially with its seasons, which is the reason I feel fh4 feels more "horizon" than fh5 even though fh5 tries harder at it at a surface level). It should be an exciting summer event, (yes seasons should have ended after fh4) but fh5 feels lifeless and stripped of the horizon identity.

They still haven't fixed the issue that causes yellow, orange, and green car paint to look faded and desaturated

I hate when I start a championship and then can't find all the tracks to complete it. And it doesn't even keep track of the championship to tell you where you're at or how to complete it. It's really irritating when you have two wins and one race to go, but can't find it on the map. Ugh.

As someone else already gave an example of; having the locations in the game uptade and upgrade throughout the lifespan of the game and throughout our progression would be awesome. Perhaps even an open area in the map where we build the biggest festival ever; one the size of a city with actual buildings and skyscrapers etc. after all, in theory, the mexico festival has been around for many ‘years’ now (with the seasons changing in game every week) so having a huge festival upgrade to something the size of a city could be absolutely awesome. Some other examples are: - Upgrading the abandoned airport (someone already suggested this) - upgrading an old temple (Could be a fake one to avoid rights problems) - The roads in general - other suff

Inb4 FH6 is set in Cuba where everyone drives 50s cars held together with whatever they can find

I agree with about everything except the hidden cars. It’s a way they can add exclusive cars and keep players coming back. I think it should only be for cars being added to the franchise for the first time.

The reason the hidden cars are so expensive is because the were only available for a limited time in the festival playlist. This means theres a low supply and high demand

You bring up some good points. As a guy who drives manual and uses the sound of the engine to shift, I find that the audio levels are really bad in FH5. Especially in the Hot Wheels expansion. The cars around you are louder than the car you are sitting in and some things in the environment are way too loud.

I personally like the Hidden Car side of the game where some cars have resell value. It adds another layer to the game of buying and selling cars on the auction house for sometimes huge profits. And if you miss out on a car you actually have to hunt for the car at a good price.

underrated youtuber ngl, good vibe , good content , very cool

Finally! I thought I was going crazy because nobody was talking about these issues

About the pop ups. Go onto your game map and press filters. Then turn everything off

5:41 That IS annoying. I HATE having cars worth millions, and not being able to sell it for the full price!

Got that JME instrumental 👌

8:48 they could add pedestrians like the crew 2, you know the ones who roll or move out of the way when u try to hit them. They already have this exact coding for animals. All they have to do is insert a roll/ leap/ moving out of the way animation and it would fix the atmosphere issue About the modern part, if they made everything modern it would be like Australia again, and you JUST COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT. But yes I totally think and love the idea of a modernistic map. But it would be hypocritical and look like the upside down world again

Bro I just finished watching jack’s rally video and the R8 in the intro confused the hell outta me

even implementing a option if you turn off all icons in map, it removes them whilst driving , do i make sense? idk.

One thing that really really bothers me is I love using a steering wheel but when I turn it only goes so far and my steering wheel goes all the way It just really annoys me.

What’s the share code for the wrap in the r8 in the beginning

in regards to the pop ups, I believe (did it by accident) in the map, if you change your filters for events, locations etc, it actually effects your Minimap and the world as well. so if you hide everything, it should eliminate the pop ups, not 100% sure about pr stunts tho like the flashing from speed cameras edit: you can hide players from the map as well, unfortunately it does not hide them from your world tho

Honestly, didn't even know you could specify what make and model you wanted your car to be before searching for a design. I'd just saw oh well I guess no ones made the design after searching if I couldn't find what I wanted

Something I personally love about Horizon 5 though are all the cars they've been adding, I love they added the 765LT, SF90, F8, Aventador SVJ all within a few months. It finally feels like when a new car comes out it's going to be on the game and I never felt that way playing horizon 4 and especially 3

The graphical glitches are constant I’ve reset windows change my RTX 3080 out for my old 1070, everything and they wont stop.

Something you should've mentioned is how forza horizon 3 has tons of restaurants with people in them

No one gonna talk about the huge number of cars that are missing?

For the pop up feature, go to your map and filter everything out and you don't get pop up's like those

7:51 you see a car flying by with a hedge

What about the modern airport at the main festival in fh5? That one has lots of drivatars and is modern

Is that jackultramotives livery on the r8? At the intro

Forza does this thing were they cycle between desert and tropical region between two games. FH1, FH3 and FH5 all have a desert theme. While FH2, FH4 and FH6(Japan probably) all have a tropical themes

Hmmm I wonder where the idea for that livery on the r8 came from

my man in the jackultramotive harleyquinn^^

One thing i dislike is the lack of customization and wreckage, also lack of color visual on vehicles, everytime i customize a vehicle, it feels bland and looks like all the other vehicles i made

2:11 I wouldn't really say the game is bug free because each time I turn off launch control it comes back on the second I quit the game and come back and after this NASCAR update if you use manual with clutch a bug will force the car to down shift with no input from the player and the only way for that to stop is to fight the bug by shifting up one gear.

Thing that pisses me off is that Teslas are not in the game. They were in FH3 why not FH5. I am not a fanboy of Tesla but i want to try the Model S.

I hate the fact that there is no option to turn off Launch Control or have every car have Launch Control when they don’t have Launch Control.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that FH5's graphics are that much better than 3. Sure, if you look closely, 5 is more detailed. But if you turn up the settings of 3 completely on the pc, it still looks pretty damn good....

mate literally just change the filter on the map to fix the race pop ups? i cant see what the problem is. its not like you'll need to see where races are if ur cruising anyways

anybody noticed that when this video was uploaded, the mclaren on the cover of the video was yellow. now its red.

as i keep saying forza are just getting lazy as

Another small issue that annoy me in FH5 is the drivatars and the lack of npc traffic. I think there should be a setting were you can remove drivatars when offline because they're so annoying when you want to cruise alone and a random car pops out of nowhere or they could make them more clever. Also, they should add more car models for npcs because I see too many beetles when driving and they should add more traffic because when cruising on the highway it feels so empty

i really really like your editing its just stunning

Translated by Google: What is a bit annoying is that there are no cities like Forza Horizon 3. Playgrounds Games should add Mexico City to expand the main map of Forza Horizon 5.

Fh3 was such a detailed game, you could literally almost read fo warning label on the doors of the businesses in the city

And yet once again I completely absolutely 777% agree with u yuwan sir especially about how the game doesn't feel lively with pedestrians walking around,hidden car's,and especially no quick sell for your duplicate car's

Cant you disable all the pop ups, if you just filter all out of map? I might be wrong, but I believe if you just filter everything out when in map menu, then it shouldnt be showing up on the map and in the game as well...

the fact that they still don't have working stickshifts and removed moving paddles drives me up a damn wall

Not related but it annoys me that playground skipped the bugeye wrx sti. its the only GD chassis they dont have, and even to spice it up it could come as the S202 model, Prodrive, or Type RA. also, i own one so kinda sucks not having the car in game

I never realized that FH5 was this troubled!

Indeed, it is Ridiculous that it Defaults to "Any" and not "Current Brand" and "Current Car" , they need to patch that to make "Current" as the Default, its Called QOL. Indeed, the PC port is a Disaster :( I do not know who Playground sourced it out to, but they did a *Terrible* Job :( Hopefully FH6 will bring in FOV adjustment on Console , it is *very* Rare on Console Games, but it is not unknown either. I am Very much of the View that once the next Update comes out, the "Exclusives" from the Previous Month should be added into the Autoshow. It is simply just being Consumer Friendly and not Excluding People from Content they have *paid real money for* unless they Jump through Countless Hoops in Playlist or Paying through the Nose at the Auction House ! Personally, as I think Live Services should be *Outlawed* under the Consumer Rights act, I hope that Playlist is Removed from FH6 and it goes to a much better Combination of Autoshow, a Used Car Dealer (with some Used Dealer Exclusives such, as, say, Classic Hot Hatchbacks such as the Renault 5 GT Turbo) , the Auction House (which needs to Function more like GT7's Hagerty Collection, just without the MTX, (Seriously, MTX just needs to be *Outlawed* Now.. £200 for a Virtual McLaren F1 is Beyond the Pall!) as its where all the Super Rare and Valuable Cars like the Ferrari 250 GTO (both '62 and '64 Versions) should be) , Barn Finds, and one on one Boss Battles for Concept (like the Aston Martin Bulldog) Fictional (like the Quadra Turbo R V-tech) and Movie (like the "Ten Second" and "For Paul" JZA-80s ) Cars, no more Time and Skill Gates and Limited Access Exclusives! it is *Anti Consumer* ! Indeed, It is Beyond Me why FH4 and 5 use a 2D JPEG with Parallax, it is a *massive* Downgrade on 3 and its Proper, if low Poly, 3d Interiors! ! it is just *Laziness* I think and it needs to Stop! Indeed, there is no Doubt in my Mind that , given the Return of some Nasty Bugs (Texture Pop in, Distant Traffic Cars wheels not Rendering,) and Graphical Oversights (Static Paddle shifters, Exhaust Backfire remains in Default Location even when the Exhaust Pipes are Moved) that were Removed in FH4... that FH5 has indeed been built on the FH3 Engine Build Code rather than the more Advanced FH4 Engine Build Code, this absolutely Boggles Me given that this is, Hopefully, the *Last* Forza Game to be made on the Downright Elderly Forzatech M Engine, (FH6, I hope, will be made on F-Tech like FM Reboot/FM8) surely it should be based on the best Version of that Engine? Indeed, for FH6 they need to give more Ways to Sell a Car. Quick Sell: Car Sells Instantly, but its only 25% Value. Used Car Dealership: Takes Longer to sell, but gives 50% Value. Auction House and Car Meets: Car will sell for whatever someone is willing to Pay. Indeed, they need to Patch in an Option to "Disable UI Pop Ups" and to "Disable PR Stunts". its Called QOL. Indeed, Via the use of Invisible Walls so the Player Car could not access the Areas with Pedestrians, FH3 had full Pedestrians, with Lives and little Visual Stories (Friendships, Romance, etc) while Still meeting the Requirements of a PEGI 3 Rating (No Pedestrian Peril) having them just stand around in Five, and only appearing in one Area, due to the lack of Invisible Walls elsewhere to place them behind, is Laziness. Given the N64 could support up to Four Different Faces Per Character Model, I do not see why the Much more Powerful base Xbox One (in Comparison to the N64) , let alone a Vastly more Powerful Series Console or High end PC, cannot have Support for Multiple Different Faces Per Character Model, other than Laziness. Indeed, Hopefully, FH6 returns to what FH3 Did, using Invisible Walls to allow for a lot of "Pedestrian" Areas, giving us actual Animated Pedestrians who walk around, or Sit on Walls talking, or hold each others hands, and adds in support for more than one Face per Character Model on Top, to make whatever the Main city is, lets just say...Valetta ...for Arguments Sake, feel more alive! I agree, the Map for FH5 does seem like a Time warp, the UK is an Ancient Country, but it still feels like the Game is set in the 21st Century , FH5 feels, in Many Places, indeed, like it is set in 1963! it is Ridiculous! (Note: You should have used the Vocho for full effect!) it feels like Old Hat! Even the Bridge, Stadium and Hotel Zone (Which feels like it is Straight out of 1985!) feel Old, as they still feel like they are from the 1980's. The Airfield is just a Rusty old Crashed Heinkel away from being stuck in 1946! FH2 had the best Airport IMO. FH5 had Fuel Stations in the Beta Build, so why they got Removed I do not know, I can only assume they were Removed on Request of the Mexican Government for some Reason. As I mentioned, Modern Cities are not likely to Happen due to the Fact they Perform *Abysmally* on Base Xbox One , Surfers Paradise, to this Day, even with *all* of the Performance Patches installed, is *Still* Dropping down to 8 or 9 Frames Per Second on those Systems, and it is getting all but *Impossible* to get Licences to Feature Real World City Landmarks in Games now, Playground Openly Admitting on Live Stream that FH4 had Edinburgh rather than London because London City Council said No as they did not want their Cities Landmarks to be Featured in the Game due to "Terror Concerns" , so getting Permission to Do modern Cities is getting all but Impossible, and its not worth it given the Terrible Performance issues they cause on the Base Xbox One. Hopefully, FH6 does indeed go over to F-Tech, which does *not* Support Xbox One, only Series Consoles and High End PC, unless You use the "Virtual Series X" Via Cloud to Emulate the Game on the Xbox One, so the Performance issues wont be there with a Modern City, but it still does not deal with the Issues of City Councils saying "No" to their Cities being in the Game due to Not wanting their Landmarks Featured. Peace.

I hope it starts getting better after the first expansion releases....

Some cars are exclusives, the trueno apex gt being one of them. You have to play the game in order to get it or pay an outrageous amount which I like it that way. It means you actually have to grind to get some of the cars.

3:23 Cars like the AE86 use to be cheap irl but not anymore. FH5 is just giving you that realistic experience... lol

yuwan on his way to use the exact same points in 17 different videos

6:34 we used to have it in FH2 and FH3 for half the price of the car but they got rid of it

I like the rarity of some cars in the game. Gives you a sense of pride in your collection.

If you change your map filters to show nothing, your mini map will be clear and you wont see those events i dont think

I feel like the only car game to have the pedestrian life really booming. Like actually for real is Crew2. That game they have the pedestrian crossing the street. They take pictures of your cars. And you can't fully run them over but they have there very own response to vehicles coming there way. Idk if it's just me but Crew2 is the only racing game that did it right with pedestrian (I said racing games not games like gta and so on)

The whole pedestrian thing might’ve been a performance issue. I rather have the solid 4K 60 than add a bunch of pedestrians and watch performance tank I mean the environments look gorgeous and the cars look very good too I prefer they keep it that way

When you see those photos i forgor the name of with nobody in them they seem wrong and weird and can make some people feel unconfutable this is what you get when there are no people, unrealistic drivers and a lack of movement in a game too. They will really have to change things up for the next fh game if they want to make a change. If they use that engine that the next motorsport will use that would be a great start

3:22 the inflation be wilin lately

Also there’s no gun shots or drugs. That’s not how Mexico is now

Honestly I wish they just did it like midnight club and made it so the pedestrians auto dodge when you try to go near them

6:10 I also hate it. I wanted to sell my duplicate car worth like 1,500,000 mill and it said 400,000 cr, I ain’t selling that I also miss Collecting festivals with Xp and upgrading festivals which gave free cars, discounted cars and also more events. I get the Forza Adventure thing but, it don’t feel the same And cant miss car meets. And modern buildings

I have another tiny problem that really infuriates me: LOOPING SOUNDTRACK They've been using this system since Horizon 3, where whilst you're in events, the same song on the radio will continuously go on for MINUTES before going on the next one, and the ending part won't stop looping until you exit the event. It wasn't like that in the first two Horizon games, but it's really lazy to have it like this. Completely unrealistic and NOT how radios work!

a thing that infuriates me about Forza as a whole is all the reused, inaccurate car models from X360 Forza games like some of them date back to Motorsport 1 so they're 17 years old now, how is that acceptable? even NFS is better than that
