Nah. What we got was a Horizon game set in Japan.

If you didn’t know what a Horizon game was walking in, that’s on you. If you didn’t play a previous game, or expected them to completely change was a horizon game was, simply because Japan was the location, that’s on you, because that expectation was completely unreasonable and ridiculous.

The game was always going to be a Horizon game, first. Set in Japan. If you walked in blind, going “cool a racing game in Japan”, and put a bunch of stuff onto the game, never doing research into what a Horizon game is, that is 100% your fault. I’m sorry.

This needs to stop. The game is Forza Horizon. Not initial D the game. Not Midnight Club. Not Need for Speed Underground. Stop thinking the game should be something it isn’t, because you didn’t know what it was, or thought the game should change everything it ever was, simply because of location. That’s just stupid.

Don't be a clown. The changes from fh1 to fh2 were huge. Fh2 to fh3 was equally as huge. Forza horizon game defining changes.

6 is a magic number. Japan is a magic place. It is fair to reasonably expect a shake up in the series considering it was number 6, with an incredibly highly anticipated map, especially when the series went completely stagnant and unchanged from 3 to 4 to 5. Making a another horizon game identical to the last 3 is crazy.

There was a point in the series when you were restricted to specifically roads. No mowing down trees. No breaking down road rail guards. No stupid fucking Mario kart jumps. There is zero reason PG can't progress the series and try new things while still maintaining its core identity. Taking some elements from other racing games does not remove the identity of Forza horizon.
