Trying Forza Horizon 3 for the First Time Has Its Surprises (XBox One - 2016)

An oldschool gamer plays the XBox One game, Forza Horizon 3 for the first time. This video was created for journalistic purposes.
My adventure continues with this franchise. You seem to enjoy these video's, so it made sense to kick off my new adventure into the XBox One library with this particular game.
So, what did you think of this game? Was this an excellent instalment to this franchise or did you have preferences for other games?
For those who haven't played this particular game, but others in the franchise, what do you think? Does this look like something you would be willing to check out or would you rather stick to other instalments in this series?
Also, for those who haven't played any of these games at all, what did you think of what you saw? Does this look like a game you could see yourself trying or are these open world racing games not really your thing? Let us know in the comments below!

That would be nice, wouldn't it? If I understand correctly, it sounds like the developers are doing what they can to sell their latest instalment and going to the extreme of delisting older titles in the process. I'm not really sure why this is a strategy they are employing unless they are trying to pump up numbers for their latest game. Even then, (if that is the strategy they are employing) it strikes me as a strategy of cutting off their nose to spite their face. I mean, there's something to be said about giving the people what they want, right? It shouldn't require scrounging around for the original disc to be able to play this title.

It's an awesome intro. I couldn't help but notice the blatant product placement. I bet Monster paid a bunch of money to get their ads in this game.
While you were racing the intro race, it looked like you were driving a dune buggy while racing against cars, like a Mini Cooper. It just seemed weird to me.
The graphics seem way better compared to the other Forza games you played.

It really is quite the improvement in graphics. Forza Horizon does take tuning a bit out of the equation, though.
Each car is given a performance rating. So, if your car has a performance rating of 500, the opponent vehicles have to be reasonably close to your performance rating. because of this mechanic, though, it pretty much defeated the purpose of tuning or upgrading your vehicle. So, I just race stock. Also because of this, you could have dune buggy's racing old Jeeps racing against modern Ford trucks and it would be an evenly matched race. You end up getting some pretty... interesting... line-ups as a result of this.
