A very twofold situation with Forza Horizon 5, on the one hand, little has changed in the game and the innovations can be counted on the fingers of the hand, here are some of them:
1) The main character is talking, but for the first time in the series in my opinion;
2) Expeditions appeared with different tasks where you will be given some semblance of a plot, very good;
3) You can remove or vice versa put the roof of convertibles;
4) The physics of cars has become a bit better, because many now do not hear the sound of a drift when cornering, which is often annoying, I understand that this can be more realistic, given the speed, but I like more arcade control and here it has become much better, because the car more confident turns and keeps on the road;
And it seems like everything, otherwise it's all the same Forza Horizon in which you drive, drive in different races, perform different tricks and collect rare cars, in this regard, the game did not change itself.

And on the one hand, the game looks more like the DLC for the 4th part, and this is true, because the territory is not as huge as we would like, the seasons were removed (probably because the country is hot and they are not especially there), and the optimization has become much worse The 4th part, despite the fact that the graphics have been updated mainly in terms of special effects, but it is also difficult to scold because the concept of the game works great, you also want to drive and perform tricks, complete tasks and challenges, leave the game for 30 minutes because "Well, damn it, okay, I'll go through another race and that's it" and it's all the same with a huge fleet of vehicles, cool sound, excellent customization of cars and beautiful graphics.

Outcome:
Is Forza Horizon 5 bad? No, the game is great. Is it bad that it hasn't changed much since the 4th part? Yes, and Forza already resembles some kind of conveyor, although it does not come out every year, because each new part is almost completely based on the mechanics of the past, with minimal changes, which resembles one well-known game and somehow I don’t want to scold the game, because it’s great , but you also need to scold, because you understand that without this, well, the scene of action will change, and the game will be completely different, in general, in such a way it would be possible to close up the game-service and just periodically add a new country, well, I'm still waiting for Horizon will visit Russia, because, well, I don’t know anymore, Japan and China are left to visit, but then it would be nice and Russia, because honestly, Mexico is not much different from Australia, and the local atmosphere is not very pleasant to me, to be honest,

Few kabrik with this function, but it definitely works on 720Spider and Ferrari Portofino.

You turn off all assistants in simulation mode, well, these are ABS, Stabilization, Smooth start?
What parameters should be set in order to directly feel the auto in the simulation mode, or is it better to just remove everything?

Still a great game, but a certain stagnation is already felt. The previous part at one time came more vigorously due to the change of seasons and an interesting northern setting, Mexico is some kind of "neither fish nor meat."

in general, the game is completely new, according to the video from YouTube, I also thought they did not change anything from 4 parts, but this is not so

graphics, the textures were drawn very detailed and high
-polygonal, the car models look in a new way, the graphics seem to grain, a Sharpen filter of some kind and a little cinematic, but you get used to it and you like the detail and clarity of the
sound of the cars everyone has changed, now it is already something close to reality, supra 20, you can hear aging and gear changes, and so all the cars and more bass ones

changed control for the better, the car now does not demolish like a brick on ice in every turn with a squeal of tires, only when really exceeded, you feel the heaviness, turn off the assistants and abs

in general, the game was made more fun, a lot of straight, long and wide sections are something like a hit nfs, and the control is simplified almost from there, now you take more rest from network races, almost all cars easily fit into the turns,

I of course fiddled with the settings a couple hours, so that my half-dead processor stopped going 100%, but everything turned out with a decrease in landscape rendering from extreme
games, the game never crashed in 14 hours

To avoid graininess, you can lower the sharpening in the nvidia control panel. And on top, pokemon suite efixes and reshiders. I have not inserted them yet, I am looking for a suitable preset from the authors. Graphonius himself looks decent in the game. Sounds are especially deeply and clearly felt. For the sake of this, it is not a pity to buy an over-expensive sound system. For then you can immerse yourself in the game very strongly. Well, this is most likely for true fans of the racing series.

Played on GPass in part 4. I opened everything I needed in 4 days, spending 3 hours. Honestly - for the sake of two or three pixel pictures of real cars, lgbt clothes / cyber prostheses and online jerking off, buying a face for 3000 is bold, guys. Corsairs with an excellent plot, gameplay and a bunch of other quests, where you have to think + 4 large-scale DLCs, cost 1000.
It is clear that this is a business for developers, but I'd rather go to a museum or to a photo exhibition for the sake of a picture

I don't know how best to start, I think I'll start from afar.
There are aviation games where airplane enthusiasts can fly their routes for months without any global goal or mission.
There are games about truckers, such as Euro Truck Simulator, where fans of this business have been transporting goods throughout Europe and beyond for years, also not having any global goal, this is more a game about relaxing after work, when you want to go somewhere in headphones then go and deliver something.
All these games do not need a plot and any meaning, these games are not about that, and the plot is superfluous there. Some games will be purely about aviation, others about trucks.
Forza has become for me the same game about passenger sports cars, someone can scold her for one or the other, as they scold Euro Truck, but at the moment Forza is the same monopolist in this genre, and she has other more or less sane competitors no. Let me explain why, again from afar.
Before I got acquainted with the Forza Horizon series, my favorite car game was Test Drive Unlimited, where you drive sports cars on a huge island in Hawaii - yes, it was an arcade game, where many cars practically did not differ in control, where you can drive on grass as on asphalt, but who will offer something better in this regard?
I know that then, and now there are super realistic car simulators, in which real tournaments with real pilots are even held, but they are all about driving on closed tracks. But I, for example, hate driving on closed roads, they get very bored and cramped there, and neither the car nor the controls are happy anymore, since I love the open world and the huge network of roads, and the choice to go wherever you want.
And I prefer an arcade game with a large open world than a simulator with a set of tracks. Therefore, when I at one time got acquainted with Test Drive Unlimited, it became for me the main game about cars for many years, where I could gladly return to ride in a thrill in a year, two, or three years, and it had no competitors. , at least for me personally.
The same Need For Speed, it was no longer the same coat in comparison with Test Drive, I will even say more - not a competitor, for me personally, for sure - there is no view from behind the wheel, there are few cars, the location is much less, and the control is too much arcade, all cars are like irons and there is no difference between them, except for a set of speed and acceleration time.
By the way, the second Test Drive Unlimited didn't work for me as the first did, and despite the fact that there was already Test Drive Unlimited 2, I preferred to play the first part.
I remember there was a stand in a consumer electronics store - a TV and an XBOX 360, and there some dude was playing a racing game reminiscent of the good old Test Drive Unlimited, only it was a different game. He drove a Dodge there with a view from the cockpit, and even from the outside it could be seen that the dynamics, feeling of speed, graphics, study of the environment, and the behavior of the car were much better than Test Drive Unlimited. I remember standing for half an hour and watching him play.
Nearby were green boxes from discs with this game, I looked and saw the inscription Forza Horizon, then the first part. It was also an XBOX exclusive, and was not available on PC at the time. I remember how because of this game in the same store I bought myself an XBOX 360, and I also took this game to him, it was about 2012.
Here they whine about 5K expensive per game, and I gave it roughly 20K rubles - 17K console for it (the first part at one time), and 2300 somewhere the cost of the game, and did not regret it.
Then I played all parts of this game, including the new fifth part, and so far I do not see a competitor who would at least lie next to this series, namely a game about an open-world car, there are simply no competitors at all!
The same The Cry 1 - 2 is just tears. Yes, there is a huge open world, but the physics of the car is just awful, and there is some kind of general emptiness of everything in the circle. I played the first part of the day with strength and demolished, the second did not even consider.
As for Forza Horizon 5, after the fourth part, the five made a very strong impression on me, I will explain why, again this is purely my vision and my situation:
In Forza Horizon 4, I played on a PC, far from new, 2013-2014 builds, played on everything ultra but with small freezes, and on an old 19-inch monitor from 2011, which did not even support HDR.
Needless to say, how I went crazy when I launched Forza Horizon 5 on the new Xbox Series X, coupled with a 60-inch 4K HDR TV, in comparison with part 4, 5 turned out to be a completely different game in graphic terms for me, it's like getting the light, I just went crazy from the beauty and juiciness of the picture.
Here they write that there are glitches, crashes, other technical problems in the game, I did not see anything like this - I bought, downloaded, launched and played, there are no problems.
What to say specifically about the game, I don't even know. I liked the fifth part more than the fourth, of course this is a better picture, and if you run it on a new device and a good TV, as in my case, the picture becomes even better.
I am glad that here, at last, the side of the movement is like in Russia, it became more comfortable for me to ride right away, like it’s right at home.
I liked Mexico itself more than England, as it became more sunny, and in general it is much more spacious, and the views are more beautiful than the mountains on the horizon.
Well, the most important thing that really pleased me is that the developers finally made a big map, and even if it is certainly not the scale of Test Drive Unlimited or The Cry, but unlike Forza Horizon 4, in the fifth part I have a place to roam, I there was always a lack of scale in the previous parts.
And now take a really large map compared to the previous parts, a huge selection of well-developed cars both inside and outside, pleasant control where each car behaves differently, and I'm really interested in trying most of the car fleet, and now taking all this together, then personally for me today this game is number one among the games about cars, so to speak, the best car porn.
I'm not looking for a plot, a meaning in this game, I personally don't need this here, all this would interfere with me here. Give me a car, give me roads, that's it, then I'll entertain myself.
For me it is a game of mood, here I am driving around the city in my car, next to a traffic light a new Porsche Panamera stands up, this car for me is from another world, I will never be able to afford this car in my life. And so I come home, start Forza, buy this Porsche, and ride it across the endless expanses of Mexico, at least here I will ride this car (and I really like the controls here, I even joked that in this game I see the difference more in the behavior of the car than in life, where the same K5, Camry, Cerato and Rio are absolutely the same cars for me in terms of driving, and I feel the difference only in terms of noise. , Subaru WRX and Ford Focus RS).
Or I looked at a new part of the Fast and the Furious, and somehow I had a desire to ride in the same way, I start Forza, choose a car and ride.
For me, this is a game of mood, I can not touch it for a month, and then suddenly, under the impression of what I saw, there is a desire to jump behind the wheel of a sports car and just go somewhere, I go and start Forza.
This is the only game that I will not delete until a new part is released. Other games I go through and delete, be it a shooter or an RPG, and this one will be with me exactly before the release of the new part, because the desire to jump behind the wheel can arise at any time of the year.
The sound is still cool, music is for my ears, I sometimes like to listen to the noise of a car engine in the garage, in the previous parts this was not the case with me.
I bought a game on HBOX through Microsoft Store for 4500 rubles, for such a game it is not money.

I remember in Need for speed MW - there was a good dramatic plot / scenario, the setting and pulling into the game from the first minutes.
Is there a plot in this game? - I just played quite a bit - and somehow there is no tie at all, they threw it on the map - and do what you want ... In what sense? What to strive for?

well, to get really crazy about the difference between 4 and 5, of course, but the drawing of cars and the sound of the engine is a new level, of course, nothing is better, I even turn off the music, listen to the howling of the engines, very realistic almost all cars are sounded, in headphones for bass, the columns do not convey the details,

only dark green some kind of sluggish grass in places, they could draw it brighter, in general for Mexico the game could be brighter, and not just go into yellowness

Is there really no change of seasons in 5? Is this faded gray-green and yellow grass all the time, or does it look like this only on streams? Or did 4 look brighter and more colorful?
I open the screenshots in the Steam store, everything is bright and rich. I look at the streams - everything is gray and faded, "under realizm". Whom to believe then.
