!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Frankly, I’m quite disappointed. There could have been so many other things that could have been done with the game, like more mountain roads, but instead they give us a licensed GTA 5 Stunts update. It seems very out of place in a title such as Forza.

Your opinion is wrong and you should feel wrong.

I don’t even have a Xbox One but I thought it looked pretty cool. Didn’t see a Wave Rippers Deora II which is disappointing.

I’m pissed. I hate this expansion and I haven’t looked at it yet. I would prefer fast and furious

I also don’t really like it but at least Forza has much better physics than GTA V

Great another studio goes and panders to the GTA V crowd because they think that’s what gamers want now.

I would have rather had Drifting, Dragging, Bathurst, New Zealand, ANYTHING.

And I still collect Hot Wheels like insane, so it’s not like my inner child is dead, it’s that this is not what I want to see in a game with a, “Forza,” title. If this was a Playground/Turn 10 made Hot Wheels game, I’d be down.

I think it looks fun, Horizons has never been serious anyway. I’d understand being upset if this was an expansion for a core Forza game but, in a series where you find can jump a Prowler 700 ft off a cliff I’m not going to be too bent out of shape (and neither will the cars because of the ridiculous damage models).

Disappointed at first, but the trailer looks kind of promising, so the jury’s still out.

Disappointed, but I’ll still play it. Was really hoping for something focused on rally, or off-roading. I would have liked to see them add in rock crawling.

On the one hand I wanted them to add more technical roads to Horizon 3. On the other hand, GTA V Cunning Stunts are great with the only problem being the shitty GTA driving model. Horizon 3 doesn’t have a shitty GTA driving model. Colour me excited.

The version of the game I bought included the expansion pack. If I’d known this was included I’d have saved my money. Even as a kid I wasn’t a fan of the Hot Wheels tracks.

If not for the Hilux, Trackcat, and Australian Charger, I’d skip it.

The govt should mandate that all American cars should come from Hot Wheels.

I mean it’ll be kinda fun, and I already have the expansion pass but I really wanted some more track and twisty road specific stuff and not unrealistic stunting. I want twisty roads damnit.

Exactly. Though, they did add a couple HW cars to FM6 in one of it’s DLC packs.

And those same two cars are included here as well.

Personally, I look forward to it, because it’s literally full scale Hot Wheels track, with the ability to make your own tracks and races. That’s something that hasn’t been offered in a Forza title, period.

Now, if only they could add a track editor for the normal map and Blizzard Mountain...

Plus, the HW cars include a classic HW legend, two of my favorite modern HW original designs, and the car that just happens to be an upcoming Super TH in the 2017 mainline.

The other non-HW cars are also great additions, especially the Trailcat, Hilux, and Valiant Charger.

In all honesty, I’m actually happier that this is what the second expansion is instead of just Porsche, with Porsche being a normal car pack instead.

Plus, I’ve already got the Expansion Pass, so there’s no way I’m skipping this when it’s already paid for.

I’ll still buy it and give it a shot, but that’s mostly for the Hilux.

BTW, C&C this weekend or are you busy again?
