    Why sell games with features that you don't allow most people to play? No Porsche 928.


    I recently bought Forza Horizon 3 because I saw online that MS made a Porsche 928 car that could be driven in the game. Only to find out after the purchase it is basically impossible for new users to get. 1) That's dumb. 2) What is the point? 3) I wouldn't
    have bought the game if I knew that. I'm sure a lot of people don't care about 1 particular car, but for me, I'm extremely disappointed Microsoft would do such a thing. I thought I could just buy an expansion pack or something. This just makes me not want
    to fall for that with Microsoft again.

    :)

  2. What manufacturers are you most looking forward to?

    Porsche. Although they won't have my old 928 in the game.

    Of course Bugatti and Lambo's too.

    Where's the 928?!!!

    Being a pretty big Porsche fan, to me that seems like a pretty good list. Strange that there's no 928, and also that the only new (991) 911 is the GT2 RS (which I *think* is a 991, but I'm not entirely sure, tbh).

    .

    Regardless, with all the DLC that T10 has been pumping out, it kinda makes me glad that I decided to wait on this game until they put out an Ultimate Edition like they did with FM3. If they decide to do the same with 4, great...I'll grab it. If not, I'll
    continue to race all my Porsches for free in FM3.

    Lack of 911s?

    What was the japanese HWY racing game?

    Anyway, they solved this problem by just naming the cars after the engine code in the car. :p

    PS: Porsche isn't the problem, it's EA who owns the rights to their name wanting way too much. Which is why the GT series just said "to heck with you" when they gave their offering price.

    As for Porsche themselves, they claim to sell cars, and don't care about videogames. Kind of myopic if you ask me, but whatever.

    Adding games to profile so I don't need the DVD

    [quote user="Blancanales"]

    People can be so close minded. You can rent and sell games, as well as allow people to register their game if they want to so they don't need the disk and not sell the game. The fact that they don't implement something like this is poor customer service.
    Many games I have purchase are like this. I have the disks and registered them to prove it. They can make rental codes versus purchase codes or anything in between. I say have both!! Microsoft implement it!!!

    [/quote]

    Microsoft did implement that feature. However it caused a major uproar hence why you had to download a 500mb update before you coud even play the console. They can do it, but alot of people dont want it. You should have made your voice be heard back in June

    Conspiracy theorist sees this as a dangerous road

    It happens when you browse the web. It's been going on since they could manage to do it so people can advertise products and such. I don't watch cable, just Netflix, but I don't really care, either way. It's a game. It's a feature. That's all. Nothing to
    freak out over nor is it anything to bother yourself with. Some games don't allow manual saves. Most don't allow custom soundtracks. This one won't allow party chat. It's just a feature and nothing more. No reason to think anything else of it.

    XBOX ONE - I DON"T THINK SO!!!

    Totally agree with you there mgzin66, back in the days of the Master System or NES never did I expect the SNES or Mega Drive to play the previous models games? People have an obsession with backwards compatibility.... Why it tends to hold most things back!
    You want to play last gens games, don't sell the last gen console.
