Worth it for free roaming only?

[󠀡󠀡]

I want to play this beautiful game like a Truck Simulator where I just cruise around the open world in first-person driving with music on the background to relax. I hate racing and don't intend on ever touching it let alone online so I'm asking if you think it's worth buying it solely for that purpose.

YESS!!!!!!!!

It's good for free-roaming, but in the beginning, you're going to be forced into doing races. After all that though, you'll be fine.

maybe? it is not a "speed" car game at all :) but at least you can explore the maps and its very relaxing

Oh yeah I tried that and I honestly hate that it's just snow everywhere. I'm from a hot country and when I visited a place like Canada and my friend drove there, it felt like hell with all the ice and potholes lol.

Well, it IS called "snow runner". There are other versions without snow. I think Mud Runner is one.

Oh Look, it's chef! The guy who posts in every topic and whines.

The game has HUNDREDS of hours of content not including user created content plus 2 eventual expansions.

I played FH4 for probably a thousand hours. I played it from launch right up till FH5's launch for about 3 days a week on average.

This game is fantastic even with the bugs for Christ sakes. Playground Games is top notch. Any issues will be fixed just like every game before it.

And before you (chef) spout off about me "not even owning it" you can stop. This isn't the only place to buy it.

Chef... Instead of posting negative **** in literally every topic, why don't you just go play something you like. You don't deserve to be here.

how about you ask for my phone number already fuq boi? you been following me around for the last two hours in discussions... im watching netflix and chatting, what's your excuse?

If he's not interested, can I get your phone number? Just wondering.

The idea itself is okay, but there are lots of desert/barren areas in FH5 map though. Not sure if you're okay with that.

Offline the AI drivatar drive poorly and anywhere they like, while traffic is better.

So 50/50 for cursing alone offline. Nice every day feel but AI sportscars getting in your way acting like they own the place.

I think for cursing alone in FP you might even be better off online weirdly enough.

Specifically for Forza 5, the map is nowhere near big enough to keep one occupied cruising and exploring alone. I'm also one of those who likes to just drive around and explore, and I had seen pretty much all the map had to offer within 3 or 4 hours of game time. If you aren't interested in the races and other stuff, and are just looking to cruise exclusively, then this game will not provide you with much entertainment at all.

It's kinda expensive imo for what you want, the map is not that big, you do have lots of cars but to be able to buy em, you have to race.. I like cruising and exploring as well but in between a couple of races or rivals, I think it's a bit too expensive for what you want.

The drama queens here. Oh no there is nothing to do in free roam. Really? There are over 500 cars and trucks to play with, pick a tune and go. There are huge amount of free roam non race events and each car has it's own perks which you can gather a lot of points by picking a car suitable for drifting.

I mean yes, it's what I do like 50% of the time. If you don't mind spending your money.

Just don't expect a relaxing and fulfilling experience like ATS or ETS2. You will get bored pretty quick you won't be achieving anything.

I'm guessing there is no minigames or activities reserved for free roaming but ATS and ETS2 looks like crap compared to this game so I'll have to settle on purely exploration.

If by "crap" you mean visually, you are wrong, ATS and ETS2 are wonderful games, not the latest engine out there, but the beauty isn't in reflections, in textures, etc. It's in the overall vibe, the scenery. And no one should compare truck simulators to Forza Horizon 5. Two different pleasures. The Truck Simulator series is all about being in the trucker role, just driving, enjoying it. And the whole mechanics, IA, and freedom given by the devs make it a wonderful series.

But the OP didn't say they wanted to do events like drifting and speed cameras etc, they said exclusively cruising around the open world. If you do that exclusively, then even in a D class car at the game's slowest speeds, you'll have seen the entire map within 5-6 hours. At which point you'd just be going over the same area you've already driven, and seeing the same sights you've already seen.

The whole point of buying a racing game is to race. If you want exploration and free roam, play Crew 2 or GTAV

Unbelievable.. some people, you say that the other guy complains a lot, and then you post a paragraph showing how super fanboy you are, and you think your opinion is better?

This game is a complete mess, and everyone who says otherwise should just avoid posting because he is embarrasing himself lol. But keep it on.

Amazing, kids these days.. lol.

ATS and ETS are HORRIBLE games, with a completely obsolete engine that doesnt even use more than one core, with visual quality that honestly im amazed people even have the guts to play it, so much aliasing everywhere that is completely disgusting, shimmering all over the place in amounts that ive never seen in any other game, making the driving experience a complete idiocity, you cant even admire the landscape anymore, more than that, the devs refuse to actually work on the game engine to actually improve the game, and the only thing they do year after year is DLCs with lousy expansions that as of late are completely garbage, or idiotic and half-baked additions instead working on important things. They know people will buy every single dlc because thats the only thing keeping the games alive (that and mods, of course) and that people get excited for whatever new idiocity and useless feature they add to the game.

I never understood why the community of those games is so frikkin idiot and lost. And yes ive been playing ATS and ETS2 since 2014. But enough is enough.

And i am one of those that always say that if the devs could work on the game engine, to allow it to use more than one core (like every frikkin game) and if they implemented FULL DX11 support, they worked on the AA, etc.. they ACTUALLY improved the lighting (not the opposite like they did...) the game could look incredible. But until all that happens, ATS and ETS2 are probalby the most terribly looking sim games you can play.

The only reason i play them is because i use nvidia profile inspector to get decent AA and get rid of some shimmering. If not, i would not be able to play at all. I really like my eyes working in normal conditions.

But get it in your head, the only reason ATS and ETS2 are alive today is because of the modding community and because they have great support for wheel+pedal. Thats it. Dont even think that one of the reasons is the actual visual quality of the game.. for god's sake.
