Forza Motorsport 4

After playing this with my buddy a few times, I have some serious issues with the game.

Ease of play

-there's a fucking option that allows you to race without even having to break...wtf? Just hold down the gas and turn...way too simple, shouldn't even be an option.

-way too easy to upgrade the cars. After 3-4 1st place races with a certain make, you have 100% off all of the upgrade parts for that make, and on every car you get in the future made by that same company. It makes the credits/money virtually worthless unless you're wanting to buy a car that you haven't won yet. In less than 12 hours of play time, we have nearly 2mil credits just sitting there.

-bonus cars: you get a **** free car after every "driver level" you upgrade to(there's 120 level total). After playing for just a couple of hours, we go 10 free cars...there's no challenge. Now after a good 12 hours of play time, we have about 40 cars stacked up.

Basically, this game is way too easy and there's not a feeling of a good story mode since everything just gets given to you. I'm used to play the GT series, and it's definitely a more rewarding feeling starting from scratch and having to upgrade every single car you get with your hard earned credits, doing 10 races so you can get that final turbo/na upgrade. The game play is good, and the graphics are decent, but this game is just not for me since it's just want to easy to obtain free cars and free upgrades.

I agree that there is little in the way of feeling like you have earned your rewards, but maybe you are looking at this the wrong way. Try driving with all the assists off, manual with clutch, and get first place in EVERY race. It becomes pretty challenging in the later stages when RWD R1 cars become involved.

I don't like how the clutch is either on or off, no slipping allowed.

I've always driven no assist so I never noticed they gave that much of an advantage.

They dont give a advantage. You can put up much better times with the assit off.

I get pissy if the game I'm playing is like the need for speed games, let alone taking braking out all together.

I'm still pissed the gtr is maxed out little under 800hp and the supra maxes out at 850. hell the rx7 in forza 3 did 1k now it's down to 650

I know the racing is challenging if you want it to be, but obtaining and upgrading cars is generally not even needed, the game pretty much does it for you by offering you your choice of four sweet rides after every driver level. There's just no real motivation to win races other than the actual win...there's definitely no need to race anything more than once. The credits mean almost nothing IMO.

I've already have several R1 cars, there's not a whole lot of winning that you have to do in order to get them.

I think the reason they do this is to give you options on the next event. There are so many events

There are a lot of events...I guess I'm just not used to it. I like the gameplay, I just don't like the fun that is taken out of the upgrade process.

I could see that but if you pay on a difficult level money dont come as easy. I like to drive my cars stock though

same with forza 3.. It takes forever to complete, but alot of it is easy... If you want the "true experience" you turn all assists off.... The auto braking , shifting deal is for those who just wanna play... Its like the forza version of super mario for wii, where all you do is watch the computer play, and it shows you where to go....

all assists off, and on the higher levels , this game is tough
