I moved up to expert and smoked them fools on Road Atlanta. Pro is next.

Just a word of warning to people without the game or thinking about buying and are coming from FM4. Earning credits is much more difficult process this time around. Whether its Turn 10 wanting people to pay for tokens with real life money or just to make it a little harder to become a Forza millionaire it has changed. In FM4 I left with 30M+ on the table and I had probably 100 tuned and painted cars. It is going to take a lot longer this time around to amass that amount wealth.

Forza 5 does not award cars anymore which is kind of BS. You have to buy everything. I would suggest creating a paint or a few tunes and put them up on the auction and maybe you can make some extra dough there. Your drivatars earn money for you when you aren't there but you need to log in every day to collect that money.

All I know is that I am really careful about spending money now and buying a car is a much bigger decision. Is that cooler or just annoying? I am not sure but I am not giving them any more cash for fucking tokens.

It sucks because it makes progression harder but it's kind of cool too because that means that the better racers can't get the edge on you, which I guess unfair for them.

I saw your tweet about micro transactions on GT6 and it seems like many games are going that route, nickel and dime you to death.

Of course I'm I think differently once I start playing the game later.

Yup its a free to play model while removing the "free" part. You dont ever need to spend the money but sure makes the game more fun and less time consuming if you had more cars and money.

Buying tokens to amass cars more quickly is LESS fun to me. Just buying stuff with real money and taking away working for them in-game has never been fun for me. I like working for my stuff in a game.

Anyways, them not giving cars away for level ups was announced in one of their videos a little while back.

I know the LE gives you like 1250 car tokens or something. How many tokens do some of these cars take?

Welcome to the fremium model of gaming. Unfair to those who actually want to play and move up through the game. It proved successful in free-to-play models and is now moving into the realm of purchased games it seems.

Not necessarily Forza related, but this is why I am starting to be turned off to gaming right now.

:fno:

:fno:

its fucking crazy. I just hope we can find away to make some dough. IMO the best way was always online racing with 8-10 guys turning off your assists.

I just checked and I owned over 250 cars in forza 4.....wowzers.

I'm not spending any money until I have to. I'll drive my Mazda until the wheels fall off.

The only time I've done microtransactions is for The Old Republic, and that's because as a subscriber, I get free coins to purchase items in game. That's it. I'll never touch it anywhere else.
