FM8 Forza Motorsport 2023

[Pär Öqvist]

Servers are still up and very active. MS just removed the game from the digital store fronts (and stopped selling physical copies) due to licensing issues.

Well my copy is greyed out and cant launch it any more

 

[Wilko Jones]

Have you tried un-installing and re-installing it?

And you paid for it? Meaning, it's not originally from Game Pass (which you can't play Forza on Game Pass).

Or like Wilko says, try to uninstall/install it.

Had some great races today and really fair drivers too. Was kinda surreal

Oh no, Andy. You ain't getting away with this one.

The Racing suit is awesome and all. But I now have to see pics of the car. Pretty please?

Nothing special, just a M3 with Body Kit and some blue metallic paint ^^

Looks sharp! I didn't pay BMW a lot of attention in FM7. The body kit looks good on the car. Thanks.

I snapped a couple of pictures, just to respond in kind.

I like that FM7 is delisted. As now, most of the people that still play, are more serious players and much of the riff-raff that played for free under Game Pass are long gone.

You'll still get the occasional jerk, but the majority offer some good racing!

Good point! I played a game or two since the game was delisted. Aside from me sucking ass, the racing was mostly fool free.

Anyone that pays £70 for this is an absolute idiot.

This should be said about every game, no matter what the game is. It could be the newest AAA Exclusive, or the highly anticipated sequel to Slappy Ass. No game is worth that amount of money. When the publishers raised their prices to $70, they knew they could get away with it because the vast majority of game enthusiasts are morons, who would happily shovel money to their favorite corporations just for the privilege of getting an unfinished, and half-baked game built with the assets of its prequel. Forza Motorsport is no exception, and you are completely right. The problem though, is the incredible amounts of absolute idiots out there who probably can't wait to pre-purchase the game. Afterall, catering to this demographic of mindless drones with gaping wallets is what gave us Forza motorsport 5, 6 and, 7.

I'm not buying this one I bought 7 and hated it. Bought horizon 5 after spending so many hours on 4 with friends during the covid lockdowns and hated 5. Played it for a month or so then haven't touched it since.

Makes me really angry too when games like forza will reduce their car list then release cars that were in the previous titles as dlc and people are stupid enough to pay for it.

 

[Wilko Jones]

That's kind of the same experience I had. I was going to sit FM7 out, but a friend convinced me to get the game. I managed to get it on sale. It was OK, but once I got it up and running on PC and seeing that Turn 10 didn't put any effort in to FFB or giving FOV adjustability, I kind of checked out on Forza. The sound, inaccurate car models and lack of updates to painting and body parts, were just more fuel to play the game very sparingly.

I wrote "kind of" because I do play FM7 from time to time. Mostly because of Rivals and trying to get though the career list. But that is all in extremely small doses. Too much FM7 makes me mad-sad... If that makes any sense.

Thanks. I always buy the biggest Edition because i love the series and like to support the Developers as much as i can.

Forza games have often 10x the cars than the average race game.
