I'm having a blast alright. I'm enjoying the game for the right reasons. Because I like playing​ it.

I decided I like Horizon 3 slightly more than FM7 so expect more activity in Horizon than Motorsport. For now.

For some reason I prefer the 488 over the 458 in H3.

It's funny though how I've been playing the game for the past four weeks and haven't noticed a single bug/error/similar. Wanna know why? Because I don't dig out the game nor the internet to exploit them. I just Play. The. Game.

I never particularly liked the 458 GT but damn you depicted it very well in that light.

@RobikV3 thanks man! [quote name='RobikV3']I wanted that Speed 7 HE for so long and never got one :( [/QUOTE] Ah man, you should've seen the Forzathon events as it was obtainable via a Forzathon challenge, because they're not coming in wheelspins anymore it's a rare one these days.

Those who are playing the game and who have played previous titles know what the new game has and what it is missing best. Unfortunately it is easy to get into a argument when you also have passion for a series and this in turn can make you more unaware of any failings that may be there. Nowadays a decent graphics level is expected but of course you are going to get those people who only see that as being a fundamental instead of looking at it as whole.
 
The negatives I see aren't mainly to with the visuals, they are to do with the loot boxes, the misleading pit stops, and the removing of difficulty bonuses.
 
I am more likely to side with the review that talks about the reduction of racing focus than anything to do with some ugly looking trees or reflections, because as long as the game plays well and still provides the same experience the series is known for, that's all I want. :)
 
Regarding if it's a big enough change compared to the last one, well Forza has gotten to a point where it is its own enemy here. Increases are expected all around; be it in car list, tracks and other areas. So we end up with getting what feels like a rehash with the same models and environments being included. But here's the crux, if these were to be removed then this would also receive complaints so how can they win?
 
Do they trim the fat in the car list by looking to available data and statistics and bring in more modern examples to make up the numbers? Inevitably doing this will piss some off and so it's a really tricky place to be in and deal with.
 
We all want what WE want. And when we don't get that, we will moan and be vocal about it.
 
It also doesn't help matters that games are dropped on the release date and then fixed later. Where we have the devs waiting to see what their playerbase finds and the feedback they give. With the latter that can be a good thing, but it is quite annoying to feel like players are basically testing these games at times when they hit retail.

Well you asked for it, so here goes. Some of this might be based on what I feel myself though:
 
1. Graphics. Not a giant upgrade from FM6 because it already showed the edge of the Xbox One console, so I expect a great boost in this when it rolls out on the One X. However, especially in the skies the graphics seem to profit from some upgrades. Especially in cloudy situations.
 
2. Car list. I was sceptic about this one but especially after seeing that FM6 had around 450 cars, a 700+ car list ex DLC is still a really decent upgrade. Quantity over quality maybe slightly, but variety is key. Plus, the DLC's are bound to be exciting.
 
3. Car dynamics. Although the exhaust movement is a tad overdone, the fact that spoilers, exhausts, other light exterior things and especially aerials, move according to the movement of the car.
 
4. Tracks: no tracks removed, old tracks upgraded, new tracks added, old tracks brought back. Win/win/win/win on the case of tracks.
 
5. Track based Forzavista: a nice addon, not bothersome when you don't need it, very cool if you like it.
 
6. Driver Gear: everybody loves collections. And a bit extra personalization is never unnecessary.
 
7. Reward systems: not too fond of the lootcrates but having them currently available for in-game credits makes them not harming at all. The wheelspin alternative is nice, it gives nice discounts on cars, or driver gear when you need it. Car collection upgrades are also nice, it means you have to actually buy or get cars to progress in getting cooler cars.
 
The list is probably a bit longer but this is all I can think of right now, take it or leave it. Main point regarding the nitpicks upon graphics: let's wait with being picky over graphics until it rolls out on Xbox One X. Currently, graphics wise I can't deny it's similar to FM6, but it's because in terms of graphics, FM6 has always been really good.

Why not find a review on the internet and answer it yourself?

It makes sense in this case... it's easy searching the internet for bugs and errors but I've actually been playing the game and the only "errors" I've seen were deliberatly found. Sure it's not good that a game has errors but exploiting them from the sideline is odd, if you had actually played the game you would know those little errors can't bother anyone when you're doing what FM7 is about: racing.
