    I gotta say after playing Forza Horizon 4, the last thing I need is more story in a driving game. I just want to drive around and race. I don’t care about being some up and coming racer or something. Just shovel in some lame story to keep the game part moving along and I’d be happy.

      Nah I completely disagree. I think a good story would be amazing in an open world racing game. The problem is that forza horizon 4 and 5 (never played the others) both have awefully boring stories, barely anything more than the “up and coming racer” you mentioned, yet always throwing its vapid nonsense in your face. Tbh it feels more like a power fantasy or smthn than an actual story.

        That’s cool, I can see your points. You’re right in that the story in Horizon 4 was totally like a weird power fantasy or something more than a real story. It was so bad…
