I've gotten a ton a flack for my opinions about Forza 5 around here. (Not necessarily from Oppo; mostly ass-ha, er, burners on the FP)

Well, looks like I wasn't the only one complaining.

A substantial update coming to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! this month – perhaps as early as next week – will make it easier to stock your virtual garage with expensive vehicles.

Prices for on-disc cars will be slashed almost in half (down 45%, to be exact), !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! reports, while racers will also !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! after the update. On top of that, developer Turn 10 is adding a pair of new game modes: Drag Racing and Tag.

In Drag Racing, up to 16 players can hop into a lobby and challenge other drivers in one-on-one straightaway races or simultaneous drag races for up to eight players at a time. The setup sounds quite similar to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Tag is a bit more complex with three different variants on the classic children's game: One player is designated as "it" and must run from the other players to win; one player is "it" and, upon tagging other drivers, will cause them to be "it" as well, with the last standing untouched driver winning the match; and in the last variant, one player begins the match as "it" and must tag other players to pass the "it" status, with the player having been tagged the least amount of times winning the match.

"We based our economy largely on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! data," Turn 10 creative director Dan Greenawalt told IGN. "The earn rate [in Forza 5] should have been the same," Greenawalt added, assuring that Turn 10 is "making updates pretty quickly and painlessly" and will continue to do so based on input from the Forza 5 community.

Every time I see a screenshot, I want FM5. Then I play GT6 and I'm happy again...

Then I look at all of the tracks, and the happiness grows.

Then I look at all the cars and find not a single Pinto Wagon, and I have a sad.

Good for you. You want a cookie? (That is sarcasm, intended in jest, as one would with a buddy. I know we aren't, but I wanted you to understand the way I said that.)

I was never whining, whinging, or nagging.

I have only ever expressed my opinion about the game.

Actually, I think they did this update wrong as well. "The earn rate [in Forza 5] should have been the same," Greenawalt added..." Clearly it wasn't or people woufd not have made such a stink about it.

Making cars expensive, and thus, 'exclusive' is just fine. I do not mind having to work for anything. What frustrated me was that the payouts for the races were really rather low, and you had to pay for parts now.

Instead of dropping car prices, I would they have rather made parts much cheaper, and given us other ways to raise money. There is no 'storefront' where one can sell designs and tunes, nor is there an auction house where people can sell unwanted cars.

Both of these allow those who do not have the time or willingness to grind toward their next car purchase to still make some money based on talent or recover something from their car purchase.

Either way, you are still 'working' toward your cars, especially when you are selling designs/tunes. The effort people put into those has always been impressive.

I should have clarified as well, I'm not actually mad at you, or people like you. I thought it was simply just terrible timing. I'm only a little disappointed in these companies that keep flip flopping (i.e. microsoft vs game sharing, turn10 for making my grindings seem trivial).

Hopefully their second December installment of Forza Rewards will be another huge credit bounty to help those who have shared your unfortunate timing.

You gotta admit, pinto or no pinto, the selection is better in GT6 than FM5.

Oh hell yes it is.
