Forza Motorsport 7 Standard Edition

While FM7 is has improved over its predecessors, it has one glaring issue. These garbage loot boxes, and cutting content from the VIPs. I have become really upset over games becoming a "service". It seems now that Turn 10 built Forza around loot boxes and micro transactions, rather than making the game more in depth, deeper, and enriched with content. This must be Phil Spencer forcing his games as a service agenda, rather than pushing the best racing sim developers into making a rich, deep single player experience. Forza Motorsport 7 will be the last Forza I purchase if this is the direction the franchise is going.

well to start things off there was the bait and switch with VIP. And then the introduction of the loot crate system... People wanted innovation in the racing genre from this game, instead we've been given something is taking 2 steps backwards. I love Forza and I was tricked into buying the ultimate edition by a group I thought I could trust... Disappointed beyond belief. I would only recommend this game to those who wish to buy the basic version of and want to either grind more than they did in destiny 1 or wish to spend an extra 100 on the micro transactions the game was designed around.

Homologation destroys all of the fun I've had in previous Forza games. Having the ability to pick a car, upgrade it multiple times, and race with it throughout career as you progress through the ranks was the best part. We are car people. We want to upgrade, tune, build road cars that challenge race cars, etc. Homologation destroys all of that. I can understand the strict and ridiculous standards for multiplayer and leaderboard-type play, but this is a deal-breaker in career mode. There is absolutely no reason to have it, BESIDES PUSHING PEOPLE TO MICROTRANSACTIONS IN THE FORM OF CAR CRATES. Destroy the freedom of modding, create a need for a new car for every race, and everyone gets bored of grinding until they pay $ for cars.. This needs to be an ON/OFF "feature". Otherwise, you are destroying a game for a large percentage of your fans.

The economy of this game is utterly broken. Money is meted out at a paltry rate, requiring players grind races just to progress in the campaign. It's anti-fun. T10 finally addressed the scandalous VIP pass, but the lack of drivatars in private lobbies remains a deal-breaking issue. Here’s hoping Microsoft heeds customer feedback and fixes a once great franchise.
