Forza Motorsport\u2019s release was hotly anticipated after years of waiting from players for a new Motorsport entry in the Forza franchise after Horizon has hogged all the spotlight. But now Motorsport is back with a reboot with Turn 10 bringing along its experiences of developing the wildly successful Horizon spinoff, bringing along its live service game model with it. However, despite the excitement of the anticipated reboot and positive reviews, Forza Motorsport is now being criticized for its live service model, which is producing \u201chalf-finished\u201d games with features missing. In a post on the Forza subreddit, players criticized the game\u2019s lack of features, pinning it to the new live-service game model the devs decided to take Forza Motorsport in. \u201cIt\u2019s become painfully obvious that most AAA games nowadays, especially Microsoft games, release in a half-finished, feature-stripped, unoptimized state,\u201d one player said in their post. \u201cSeems it\u2019s obviously intentional for the purpose of micro transactions\/paid DLC. I would assume most of these features are already completed but just stripped in order to trickle content to maximize player retention, because if not what the f*** is taking six \u2013 seven years to develop?\u201d Many other players agreed in the comments, with one saying, \u201cEvery company is vying to create the one game you\u2019re supposed to play forever and dump your money into.\u201d However, this isn\u2019t the general consensus from Forza players, as many were perfectly happy with the game. Another post on the subreddit said, \u201cHonestly haven\u2019t had an issue with this game and it already feels like a pretty big step up from Forza Motorsport 7, but it seems like no on else enjoys it and are just trying to find reasons to dislike it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forza Motorsport players slam \u201chalf-finished\u201d game\u2019s live service model MicrosoftForza Motorsport players are slamming the game\u2019s live service model as the reason for the game\u2019s \u201chalf-finished\u201d features.
