So guys, tell me something: is F5 worth getting an Xbox One for? I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on one and selling both my 360's. Right now the big reasons to switch would be Titan Fall and Forza 5.
My concern is I read some of the initial user reviews that bitched heavily over the BS way you have to get cars. That it takes a LOT LOT LOT of racing to earn enough credits to get cars and even the ones you get if you buy a limited edition require you to buy them in your own garage, again those credits you have to earn (or pay real money for - WTF).
How bad is that in reality now? I don't typically want the stupid expensive high end cars, but I do want a wide selection of my favorite cars to play with and have fun with. If it is incredibly tedious or expensive to be able to get those (mostly a selection of mid to high end Subaru's, BMWs, and domestics; I'm not a pasta fan), then that would really kill this game for me and lead me to consider avoiding the XB1 for now.
I think the PS4 is probably the better overall gaming console right now, and I have ZERO use for Kinect, but Titan Fall and F5 are a big deal to me. I never got into the big PS franchises.
Thanks in advance all!!
Hey! You sound like me with the Xbox One, the reason I wanted it was for Forza, and then a good solid shooter (Titanfall, which I'm actually getting on the PC now!).
-As far as Forza 5 is - there is a rumor circulating MS is going to offer up a bundle at the same price point WITH forza included so you might want to see if this actually happens - then you can get the season pass-this is a must for this game - I hate to admit it but the car content is rather light when you take a look at the Forza selection - and like you, I enjoy a variety of cars. Out of the gate, the game offers a great selection but some key players appear to be missing - most notable, some of my favorite generations of VWs! There are some great B, C and D class cars though, my favorite to race online by far- in any case, personally, I think the game is a great Forza, and is like Forza 4 plus if you ask me - the tracks will be coming over time, and the online really works well. I haven't had any issues. And the feedback with the triggers is fantastic.
And for credits vs real money - you can get all the cars using in game credits and I have a pile of extra credits - 11 million last time I checked and my game clock is somewhere around the 50 hour + mark.
Is it worth dropping $500? I bought it so I want to say yes! Right now, there is enough game content with Titanfall and Forza to keep you busy for a really long time. I would argue Forza alone will hold you over for a few years if you play online. I know Forza 4 did that for me.
If you want a racing game, there really is no alternative. I play both the GT series, Forza and the PC offerings, but nothing really comes close with a full great, accessible package of driving options for the car enthusiast. Not to mention the nice little update to the Xbox One interface, the recording feature is great, I enjoy it.
If you do pop on an XboxOne, feel free to add my gamer rag for some racing, 'Randum 311'
