Personally I am looking forward to the Hot Wheels expansion. I like Hot Wheels, played with them endlessly as a kid. I bought Hot Wheels Unleashed and we were severely disappointed with the gameplay in that. It looks like Forza may do Hot Wheels better than the Hot Wheels game. lol
I don't play driving games all the time, they are more just an escape, or relaxing diversion, here and there. Jump in once in a while and cruise around Mexico to relax and get my mind off the real world.
So I'm quite ok with this. That’s what i do with Forza or Flight sim when I just want to chill drive or fly round with no particular purpose.

Every time I've played Forza lately I've been unable to to connect with the game server to compete with other live players. So I end up just driving around on my own for a while. Boring...

Started on the Hot Wheels despite my better judgement simply because I need to get all the cars I’m missing now. Got £65m in the bank, may be easier and more fun just to buy them in the Auction House 🤣

Having not tried the previous Hot Wheels in the earlier Horizon. I was looking forward to this. It's kind of cool, but I got bored pretty quickly. Plus the Solstice event in Destiny hit at the same time as this so I wind up playing that most time. And trying to work up to my 2'nd Gambit (pvp/pve activity) reset for a title or weapon ornament or something. (I don't know, Mr Grind says do this, so I do it lol) The progression is cool to have to open up the car classes but I've hit S1 and can't see me going any further. I'm kind of let down with this expansion in that I expected the new biomes to be major regular map expansions and you get to drive new normal roads but it isn't. its just hot wheels track in different weather. I may still plunk away at this from time to time but back to Destiny. And occasional golf. Which I fail at, trying to sandbag to CCG and Doyley @!$#s up and gives double promo marks so I went from 4 demo marks to two last night. I can't even sandbag properly in this golf game. Lol.. I'm just kidding when I mention Doyley, sh%$ happens and I got the better end of the stick, (just poking fun) Also, not really trying to sandbag either. Just explaining my poor play on it lol. //Derail alert.// Today is my big day. Later this afternoon I am going in to have the rest of my teeth removed. 4 front top, 4 front bottom, then get my new dentures put in. Then back tomorrow to see the denturist so he can check things out. Then if all goes to plan. I will be done with an ongoing dental nightmare of 10 years of dealing with abscesses, teeth breaking, major pain, swelling and the last year of only eating food that I can crush with my tongue and roof of mouth. Hoping by this time next week I'll be able to eat normal food again. Steak 1'st meal, 2'nd meal Gigi's (famous in this town) Panzerotti, 3'rd KFC Chicken. I love that sh%$ lol. beef jerky, peanuts, chips (not French fries as you English call chips lol)//End Derail// Just going to put this here so I can come and drool on an occasional basis and remind myself that I'm getting close lol... /wasting time by posting all that. Anxiety is kind of killing me this morning so need to distract myself/

Just imagine they run out of dentures the day you are due!

Just imagine they run out of dentures the day you are due! They were custom made and were there waiting for me. Got them in. The very last tooth to be removed had to be a tough one. They had to move me to a different room where the dentists molar drill thing was. I wanted to ask if I can keep the last one for a souvenir but I was so light headed by the end I just wanted to get out of there. The dentist new I was not feeling great, kept telling me to just sit there and relax and asking if I was ok. I had a bad night last night. Having all those teeth removed all at once. (turns out it was 11 not 8 like I thought) with one very tough one with a very deep root. (had to put stiches in after that one) it did me in. I felt terrible last night and my entire mouth was/is still sore. Never ate. Haven't eaten since Sunday night. I just tried to eat a can of chicken noodle soup and couldn't manage it. I can't seem to figure out how to chew. Threw the stuff out. I have read it's a bit of a learning and adjustment to get used to eating again. Or speaking. Guess I need to buy cases of baby food for the next few weeks until the adjustment period is over. Feels so F'n weird having a mouth full of teeth after having not many for the last year.

TimB I'm glad you have teeth again, and I hope everything heals up and you can get to normal and have that steak soon! Man, I bet that was a shock to your body!
As far as Hot Wheels-
I play differently as was pointed out a while back, and I loved it.
I've been loading up the game once a week or so, just to have fun and relax with what I feel for an hour or two. I mainly just do the quests for the 20 point car if its exclusive, or just do story missions that I haven't done yet, or just drive different cars for no other reason than fun. I loaded up hot wheels and did some of the things, then knowing I didn't have a lot of available time left, I went back to Mexico and got the Porsche "pig" car.
I really enjoyed it, and for my playstyle it will be just more areas and quests to explore. I like seeing their take on what a 'real' version of a hot wheels car would look like. I have the Hot Wheels game, and to me, the Forza Hot Wheels DLC is better than the actual Hot Wheels game.
I play too many games with too little available time to get bored with one, if it gets anywhere near that, I just hop to a different game.

TimBNo excuse for not getting your teeth into the pixel golf now Tim. Hot wheels and thus FH5 not for me now. I tend to get into a game and it becomes an obsession. Farming Simulator 22 held that spot for a while but nowadays I’ve invested a fair bit of time (and money!) in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

I haven't even opened the game in a few months, it just got to a point where it wasn't any fun. Multiplayer was never working, free roam with friends was impossible at the best of times and I just got bored very, very quickly. I moved onto Grid Legends for a while doing Time Trials and some career mode but again it felt forced and tedious to so... Just like golf at times... I feel that many of us will look forward to Forza 8,as I need a racing game in my life that I can play with people

I like a racing game on my HDD that I don't have to faff about setting the wheel up. Forza has always been great on a controller.

FH5 was never a game I could play with others, tried it once and IMO the distance between HK and others made it incredibly laggy and unenjoyable.
Grid Legends on the other hand was successful on this part for me, even if you had some wonkiness at times I was still able to join in games with others around the globe and have a great time.
TGC is still tops for me in playing online with others.
Onward!

Tried GT7 on the PS for a bit but the PS has been boxed up now for good. No interest in getting a PS5. What I really need is another lockdown and get back to playing in the day 🤣
