Has Forza Horizon 5 Been Successful? 

This video certainly won't be controversial 😅

I can already imagine the headlines Forza horizon 6 "Build from the ground up"

Feel like FH6 should have a ladder progression system like FH1 where we start at the bottom and work our way up to champion, and then once we do that, we have a FH3 aspect to where we accrue fans to upgrade the festival sites or a sorta prestige mode where we have to re run every race in D-S2 class to unlock an exclusive reward like a op forza edition car that you can’t get anywhere else or something…

I would personally say this: FH5 had a very slow start, but with this year the devs have finally cooked, so I say it's been somewhat successful (atleast much more successful then fm).

i love this videos where nick speaks his mind about the game we play, keep up the great content!

A trilogy pack for the older games would be nice

After unlocking all houses and cars (non DLC) in FH4 and FH5 I just play enough to unlock the new cars, then I don't play for a week.

Biggest problem for Horizon games for me is there is so much to do yet there’s nothing to do. I could do anything i want yet i dont feel any reason to play. Uninstalled FH5 after a few months and dont really see any reason to come back. Still like watching videos on it however

idk the horizon series has its pros and cons but a reboot wouldn’t be too bad

I want basically Horizon 3 with the Forza 5 cars

If we get FH6, i hope we get a full on racing complex with a quarter mile drag strip, 1.5 mile oval, 3/8 mile dirt track and a rally track.

4:48 okay no body is going to talk about that hacker

It wasn't a bad game but half the cars added were from previous games, there wasn't a big enough change between FH4 and 5, and I don't believe the game ever gained enough traction in the first place.

Financially, it’s better than ever Based on vibes/atmosphere, it’s been downhill for a while

The skill issue at the end is hilarious.

Yes it is successful, for new and casuals players, but isn't for older players, because the franchise didn't have many new things from one game to the next

I feel like FH3 was by far the most fun I’ve had in a Forza title and I may be the only person who’s got an issue with it but I feel like the reason that is, as well as the big difference between FH3 and FH5 is the multiplayer. I remember in FH2 & 3 when you would be put in a 12 player online lobby and be able to see everyone on the map, drive around with them without them randomly disappearing, and would be able to talk with those people in the lobby. However since FH4 & 5 things changed where the map just looks completely empty now besides the few that are in your vicinity. It’s just felt like the online presence and sort of the feeling of “life” in the game just hasn’t felt the same since the change to whatever it is now. Personally the only thing I ask for in the next Horizon is to bring back the old multiplayer lobbies. Or at least make it to where you can see everyone on the map and not have people disappearing when driving around. 🙏

Before watching the video, I'm gonna say the short answer yes, having played the game since launch I can confidently say this is easily my favourite forza horizon game and maybe forza game ever, mainly because how they've listened to the community and also the fact that the redone handling model they added in(ie finally getting rear wheel steer) I know it's not much but it helps it feel like the most 'Realistic' handling forza horizon game, plus the fact you can individually lock your brakes up when abs is turned off, don't get me wrong the game is by no way perfect however for me it is, from the car list, to the tracks themselves, plus the event lab is awesome 👌, and before one says, yes I do wish there was progression like the first game, but as a massive open world driving sandbox with hundreds of cars it's damn near perfection, yes I'd like if there were more convertible cars etc but honestly this game now is pretty damn awesome in my opinion, just wish there was slight more road variety and more roads like the rally expansion but overall yes it has been a success mainly due to the fact its on game pass.

D100 sticker gonna look baller on my swift

Less than a month until Xbox showcase , hopefully we’ll see forza horizon 6 🔥🔥😁

I actually really enjoyed FH5, only things I could wish for would be a map with more memerable roads (Different environments would also go a long way) with an accessible ashpalt track, modern citys with car meet locations and the cool street racing vibes like FH1

I think whenever fh6 launches, we will find good things and bad things about it, and some of us will go back to fh5 to compare, and will understand how amazing it is. It definitely has some flaws, such as the map being too big, and therefore, too empty, or the lack of interesting stories, but damn, the amount of amazing cars, the drivability, the graphics. This game is an amazing one, and the thing is, we will never have enough cars, enough customization, and this is not a bad thing to ask for more, but we have to set the expectations as we can not have everything in a game.

Hey Nick I just got my mystery sticker yesterday and I love it keep up the great work Nickypoo

Honestly for this year in forza horizon 5 isn’t bad at all actually it’s getting better apparently for the update for this year

Interesting video for my Tue afternoon. Thank you

That rimac trolled you and slowed down in that second race at the end😂😂😂

i dont know how you get high quality videos out every day, its what i look forward to every evening lol. much love nickypoo

fh6 definitely needs some major changes, feels like the game has been exact same except for the map since fh3

Forza Horizon 5 is a fantastic game, the only thing that’s an issue is how they added the cars that were cut from launch or weren’t in the game until they were Festival Playlist rewards. Overall, I think the best car additions in the last 3 years were definitely the 2021 Porsche 911 GT3 and Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. (Such cool additions)

Mr Beast's strategy is to change something before it gets old, not after. I think Forza needs a reboot before people stop buying the games all together.

One thing I've been missing since fh1 was a true story the entire bit of the game and driving more basic cars instead of being tossed a c8 corvette straight at the beginning

I think the thing that is keeping people around is the fact that horizon is an open work racing game will cool cars. But the thing that annoys people about the game, is the storyline has pretty much completely disappeared, and the weekly challenges are repetitive and that it's the same thing every week and it has been for too many years people want a change of how you unlock cars and the way the game is played.

You inspire me so much to to money glitches and you tell me all the latest news you taught me about treasure chest thank you so much

The most surprising part of this was that nick hasn’t driven every road yet

I spent so on driving on new roads to get the achievement. Love your vids

I tried getting in to FH5 but I eventually gave up after 20 hours worth. Technically and visually it is a step up, also engine sounds were markedly better then 4. The expanded seasonal content is also better. However outside of that I genuinely struggled to enjoy it as much as 4. Parts of the map are very pretty but sadly they are few and far between in a bland map. Towns look pretty, the jungle and tracks around it look nice but it’s really hard to be enthusiastic about shiny graphics when you’re driving in nothing but a dull brown for large sections. Car selection played a part for me too. I loved the base and dlc cars for the most part in 4 but most of ones I liked are missing in 5 and replaced with either soulless sounding electric cars or ugly modern sports cars. I’m hoping FH6 can do both of these better because at it’s core I still personally believe FH is a fun gameplay experience especially with friends.

personally i dont think a series reboot would work because look what happened with the 'built from the ground up' forza motorsport even if it wasnt directly a series reboot

I was telling my friend the other day I feel horizon 5 has shocked me with the amount of content being added to the game sense release. Even with Motorsports coming out the game has been supported. I wouldn’t say horizon is prefect but it’s in a way better state then Motorsports

Awesome to be apart of 3% of players who have driven on every road 😁 👍

I think if it had a story like horizon 1 race for wristbands and the pink slip races

Nick and keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

That D100 is definitely a troll sticker. Taking a few of these to the next car meet

Hi Nick i love your Chanel and the videos

Honestly, with fh5 in its current state, i love it. I often will play other games like grid or the crew, but there is a reason why I always come back to forza

I want to see the events for the seasonal cars/weekly challenges be divided by wristbands. So no matter your level or the cars you have, you can take part in the season.

For me the biggest success is the fact is that we still play it and that game still gets updates. It is kind of crazy and a bit sad that the most legendary racing series is now preaty much dead cause the to last nfs games did last for like a month ? Here you have a game that actually gives you content 😅 The only thing that I didn't like often is the fact that some players in Trial was just terrible to drive with. They use you as brakes ram you of the road cause they can't accept the fact that they are slower 🤣 Sometimes just crash into you insed of driving on the start of the race. Just why ?

That crash into the tree at the ebd lol 😂😂

I liked the hot wheels dlc in forza horizon 5 and the anti lag as well and the dlc car packs like the Italian car pack

I mean I’ve gotten every single achievement and all that and i still enjoy the game to this day, gives me a reason to play every week to get new cars and that, sure I’d be down for new things to keep it fresh but not change too much where it falls off, ether way I still love FH5 a lot regardless

I started with FH5 and really enjoy it. The only things that really bother me as I have no comparisons to later titles are: 1. Modded players/cheaters in Horizon Open and 2. The weird hump on the FH5 rear wing.

After three years, my frugal (except with Transformers) ass bought the Premium Edition. Granted, it was on sale for 50% off, so it only cost me $50, but if it weren't a successful game, I probably would have skipped it.

Reason I continued to use Game Pass was due to Forza with ongoing collections of cars you can unlock. I stopped for a while but this Retro genre and N Vision 74 is bringing me back in for another subscription. Love the game. Looking forward to FH6 one day.

I believe the game does need to have the ability to tune fast and slow rebound settings on all vehicles aswell as higher caster settings on cars and maybe king pin and steering axis offset and a better format of how the tuning is with the suspenssion like making it have nutons instead of whatever it has for the tuning peramiters mesurments

I want foza horzion 6 to have all the PR stunts have a way to see the best of class for each PR stunt. For example have a speed zone and see the fastest D class, fastest C class and so on and so on. It would be nice to see that for all speed traps, speed zones, danger signs and other stuff.

I wish you had more customization for the cars and had lines in the road.

I've played every Forza Horizon game. I've ploughed so many hours into them that it's quite unreal. Forza Horizon 4 is probably my favourite (over 700 hours of game time), but it did get fairly stale as we approached FH5. I'm still playing FH5 every week, and since launch I've so far played for 509 hours. It is still a fantastic game, I'm still engaged with it. My only real gripe is that the seasons aren't as distinctive as they were in FH4 and that as with that game, it's now starting to get a little bit stale.

I've driven on every road, got all the barn finds and pretty sure made it in the hall of fame but I can't remember. I haven't bought all the house's since I kept spending money too fast on cars and upgrades 😅

They should add some more free minigames like the eliminator

I think a change of story will work instead. Looking at FM reboot, FH can continue with what they have now, but instead, have a new story, vibes, something like that. Don't continue from previously, because it'll lose it's "wow" factor from new things, and giving an illusion that we're playing the same game

If i was a dev for forza and was part of the making of forza horizon 6 it would be really cool if they set the game in the near future with road ways thatll be like the magnetic roads from the hotwheels dlc

I played heavily FH5 during 2022/2023. Put 1395 hours, love this game! But now Forza Motorsport is top game for me. Already played 505 hours in 4 months.

Since they redid Motorsport 1 through 7 and then now it's just called Forza Motorsport. I'm guesstimating. They're probably going to do something like that for horizon maybe Forza horizon world. That would be cool and they can really diversify the map by instead of traveling to outposts each Outpost might be an airport in this diverse map that maybe not too big. Probably the size of the current map but those other outposts will fly. You or fast travel you towards more custom areas. Maybe in certain parts of the world so they can have multiple maps. Maybe the size of Mexico or even half the size or maybe England or Australia size. But these parts of the world would have very specific things in those areas and even add more over time. So maybe have a Japan map that you have to travel to and have it all JDM theme or a Europe map and have it a German theme or a Riviera map and have it a French and Italian theme and so on. They would be able to sell a lot more DLC that way and grow and expand upon it over time and give people what they want. They could even do a California map and throw Laguna seca, or make a custom track like they did for the Bernese Alps, in there or something. With a really strong base map and other outposts that you would travel to/fly to. And adh free and pay for updates or the enthusiasts of the game I feel would be a good path forward. They already do something similar like they did in the past with Hot Wheels rallying or off-roading but those extra maps would be a little bit bigger

Im crazy, anytime i play a horizon game, as soon as im in the game the first thing i do is drive every road and get that achievement

I havent played fh5 in forever...it was fun but the first year had alot of issues for me. Nobody was ever onlinr when i got on and usually had to do solo playing. I would eventually get people to play online with me but free roam never had any other people with me. Then when finally i would get matchrd with others in an "online" freeroam, they wouldmt even show up on the map. Idk if this has been fixed since i last played...a very long time ago...hopefully but this is why i never got back on after the first year

Ooooff! At the end of the video, Nick's Subaru crashed in to the tree!

i downloaded forza 5 3 days ago for the first time and can’t get off it it’s so good and btw can u buy CR or no

I don't think Horizon needs a full reboot, it needs expanding and enhancing and building a proper map without the sole purpose of being easy for a mini game within the game, it'd actually make it more interesting and make you learn the map more for there to be loads of obstacles, but I DO think the Motorsport series needs a decade off and the developers truly build the next game from the ground up, scrap original game cars and early franchise cars, rescan every car, rescan every track truly restart the franchise and develop a new engine altogether and it'd actually be a good thing, if FM2 or FM9 whatever they call it doesn't arrive until 2035 but it truly looks amazing, truly works amazing, details are all on point down to the smallest ones, returning entire categories of cars etc, I think it'd be the best in the FM franchise, but Horizon definitely doesn't need that hefty of a reboot, just expansion and maybe some tweaking to just zest it up a bit and get more realistic driving

nick i think you should do a 24hr achement hunt on forza like100% all acheivments

For the next game they should put all games together like GTA 6

Bringing back ranked races/drifting would be my first choice of change

Ok i gotta ask i got forza 4 and im willing to buy 5 is it worth the sale or should i just wait for 6 to come out? I wsnt the best graphics prettiest funnest game

I play fh5 almost every day and i enjoy it.. the only thing they should do to improve it is reintroduce a proper winter season like in fh4 i know it probably doesn't snow in mexico but would be an interesting addition

The Hall of Fame? I still haven't unlocked it and I've been playing since it came out :D I guess I need to work on that

The launch had its moments in success, but throughout its lifecycle, it’s definitely seen as a success in itself most definitely

This reboot needs to revert the festival to what we had back in horizon 3 so we can build and add a way to personalize our festival, or add home interiors…use test drive as the idea for what the ultimate forza horizon should and absolutely could be

I am apart of a 3% in fh5, finally 3% driven all the map along with other

I feel like they should try and get some advice from the crew when it comes to boats and etc.

Hey, you should do no rule challenge

I love FH5 but i hope that we'll see more bumper, hood, skirt, spoiler,... options in the game, something like in NFS. I was driving the '92 NSX and was sad that the only option for aero apart from the RB kit was forza aero 😕

I’m part of that 3%! That’s kinda insane tbh

I finally started playing Forza horizon again and it is awesomely fun.

I keep meaning to finish all of the stories, but never end up getting to it

I’d love to see an FH4 analysis because that game is still better in my eyes.

Forza has has always been a festival racing game but I think a good idea for a reboot as an underground street scene this a story like fh1 did

all i want with the next horizon game is wav or flac car sounds, compressed but still at maximum quality instead of the quite flat sounding cars in fh5 because of high compression

9:38 bro I drove every road in like 5 hours

Really wish they would go back to fm1, although if this is working and keeping the fh series going, then that's fine

Can’t believe I’ve been playing FH since day one!

As toxic as it may got, ranked mode was arguably the only thing that motivated me to play regularly back in previous fh games, mainly fh4. The competitive feeling that I got from it also helped and forced me to become a better driver / tuner. And since none of my friends didn't... and still don't play the game, It was probably the only way I could have fun playing solo. So yeah, It would be nice to have it back in fh6... Nah I take back, it's actually gonna make or break my decision to buy the game.

I personally would like them to return to the style of horizon 1. A more direct story line where you working your way to beat out a specific guy or crew. I also don’t feel there’s a huge reason to come back and continue playing fh5 because there’s nothing really to work toward. Sure there’s the weekly event stuff to earn a car or 2 but unless it a car I’m interested in I don’t bother. I only ever really play the game anymore when driving around with some friends. There’s lots I haven’t done yet but I don’t feel the need or want to actually go and do it

Not having competitive drifting is one thing, but having it in four and then taking it away in five was ridiculous. I probably had 2000 hours in four but in five I basically beat the campaign and gave up on the game

I been missing one road for a year now Still can’t find that damn thing

As someone who has done almost everything in the game and plays it every day, I think FH5 gets too much criticism

Nick can u create a video about the ultimate suvs

Random but odd fact, I have invested north of 100 hours into the game and only unlocked 14/15 barn finds. Couldn’t tell you why

Oh, what I would give for a separate career mode and sandbox mode. Playing around with cool cars is fun for a couple hours, but really having to upgrade your car and having new cars be a new, rare, exciting thing is what Forza is really missing. Maybe that's what Motorsport is for - but from everything I've heard, it's not even worth the storage space, let alone the price

Love this game I hope a good successor

I have 100% completed the games and the Xbox achievements. And have unlocked every car in the game. So nowadays I just come online on Fridays to collect the new car and then exit.

Most people still play FH 4 and 3 because of status, FH4 is my fav, this is a 7/10 where as those others are 8 and above

I gotta say as a person who regularly plays a variety of racing games. I think fh5 is one of my all-time favourites and that's not me saying it doesn't have its flaws. I do think if they took an additional year to make further improvements compared to fh5 i wouldn't be that sad. If we dont hear anything with the next 2 ish months, i think we'll know our answer.
