Forza Motorsport 5 (XOne) > Opinions (65)

Chris Hu posted 04/05/2017, 03:18
Surprised this is charting again. Forza Motorsport 6 should have sold more then it but I'm thinking it at least sold more digital copies. Hopefully the will add enough new content to 7 that it will sell more then this game.

This game is charting back in the UK thanks to bundles along with other games.

Look at that, 2 million. Numbers like that is why they make one of these pretty every year or every other year.

I'm guessing this will sell over 2 million physical copies by the time 6 comes out now. Its kinda sad that it is currently still selling better the Forza Horizon 2 which is currently not in the weekly top 75 but this is.

Will probably sell 2 million physical copies by the time Forza Motorsport 6 comes out but once that comes out this will sell almost no extra copies since I expect 6 to be a lot better.

@Ninsect - Well they've been bundling other games that do a better job at moving hardware.

Also, they generally wait about a year before mass bundling a Forza game. So maybe this will get some bundling for 2015.

I wonder why they didn't bundle this game like the last 3 main games. Could've made it to 4m+

I just got this game with my xbone. Initially I hated this game, the game feels different from previous one and a lot harder to control, but learning the nuances and how the game plays I think the racing is quite tense. As a launch title I think it's good hoping the next one will be a graphical step up as there are a few things that annoy me with this one.

Its a lot for me, I usually don't play games for a long period of time. I tend to play games to end and move to the next. That usually only takes 7 - 10 hours. I'm up to 20 hours on Forza 5 and counting.

The only games I've spend over 100 hours with are Halo 3, Oblivion, and Skyrim.

@Mr Puggsly that is not a lot I already played it over 150 hours but since it looks like there will be no more DLC for this game I'm pretty much done with it. Just need a couple of more cars to have all the cars in the game and I will probably get a couple more manufacturers to max affinity.

Surprisingly one of my most played games on X1. My stats say just over 17 hours of driving time.

Maybe I'll finish all the league races before Forza 6.

Turn 10 did a really good job with the Ring that being said it would be nice if they would release at least one more track.

Chris Hu posted 27/05/2014, 09:40
Well the game will get at least two more car packs the next one come out this Friday already. I also think there is a strong chance for another DLC track coming out soon. It will probably be either Monza, Pacific Raceways or the Ring. Monza would be a nice fit to be released in September because that is when the F1 race takes place there and it would be a nice fit for the monthly endurance race because none of the other tracks in the game get used for a race in real live in that month.

@Mr Puggsly the new tracks are a lot of fun almost got all the achievements that where added after Long Beach also just need the Long Beach hopper one and the drift one (which I might not get). Still hoping they add at least a couple more also hoping that this month DLC car pack wasn't the last one.

@ Skeeuk - As long as Forza games keep selling 2 - 3 million, that's enough to keep it going.

Glad to see its selling well. I started playing again to check the new tracks, good stuff.

Chris Hu posted 17/04/2014, 09:27
Long Beach is a blast rumor has it that Monza and Pacific Raceways will be added as tracks. Not really hyped about Monza unless it has more then one track layout would prefer Mugello Circuit to make a return. Pacific Raceways should be very good, hopefully it will also include the drag strips that are inside the race track because the current drag strip that is in the game is pretty dull.

Doubt it will sell 4 million unless it gets bundled a lot but that being said its sales are fine it already outsold the first Forza game and for a launch title anything over 1 million is great.

Actually Skeeuk with Forza 1 selling the lowest, 3 selling the highest, and 2 and 4 selling just above 4 million, Forza 5 is outpacing Forza 2 and is on track to sell 4 million lifetime.

@Mr Puggsly Well Forza Horizon is almost guaranteed to come out this fall but Forza 5 still should have decent legs until its officially announced. Also I still think that Forza 5 will probably end up in the first X1 holiday bundle so 2 million could still happen.

And there it is, a million seller. Maybe 2 million down the road.

If a new Forza comes out this year, that might slow down sales though.

For having less then half the contend of Forza 4 the game is actually a lot better then thought it would be. Hope they add some more 70's F1 cars because so far the 1976 Ferrari SF 312 T2 is my favorite car but the 70's event is the only open wheel event I have tried in the career mode.

Chris Hu posted 22/01/2014, 06:11
Still has slightly better legs then Battlefield 4 will probably still pass it eventually just going to take a bit longer. Also if this game would have had a bit more contend it would be a very close second to COD.

I honestly didn't expect this to be the best selling X1 exclusive, but what do you know? Most people seem to be enjoying it and I hear the driveatar stuff is cool as you progress in the game. Good on Turn 10, but I hope they knock it out of the park and beyond for FM6.

Continues to have good legs Battlefield 4 continues to lag behind will be the second best selling X1 game in no time. Plus it should continue to have decent legs as long as Turn 10 supports it with good DLC the second car pack is a lot better then the first they need to continue that next month and add some DLC tracks some free DLC would be nice also since all Forza's since the second one had some.

@DialgaMarine you do realize that gt6 has a nearly a 20 times larger install base then forza 5?

It will outsell the first Forza in a couple of weeks if you include digital sales its probably already did it. Also since it has better legs then Battlefield 4 it will surpass it in sales and will be the second best selling X1 game probably as soon as the next sales numbers show up if not the week after that for sure.

@sales2099 So bundles make a game's sales less relevant? Does that mean that the sales of games like Halo Reach and Fable 3 can be discounted as well? I think your problem how bad you flip flop. When a ball isn't in your court, you automatically grab a different one. When sales aren't on your side, you argue quality, and vice versa. Why not just accept the fact that GT is a far better selling series, and that Forza 5 is the lowest rated Forza ever as well as the worst seller. It's getting demolished by GT6, and will probably get even more badly beaten by GT7.

Pezus I expected better from you. Where people like me and Puggsly are defending a IP that is being unnecessarily mocked and others being hypocritical in implying bundles have a negative stigma attached to it....your GT fun facts just add fuel to the fire. I stay off the GT game comments section and I think you should as well.

The IP sells more and better then the average exclusive (without bundles) and is self sustaining. It is very well received with reviewers. It deserves more sales then what it gets. That said, its a great game and lol at the haters who feel the need to overcompensate for their insecurity.

Haters gonna hate. Just shows the mass ignorance when there isn't a official sanctioned bundle even out yet lol. Nevermind the ridiculous amount of GT5 bundles that padded its sales for the past 3 years. :P

People can't accept this series sells millions/profits on its own. Forza 3/4 bundles accounted for approximately 2 million each. The rest of the sales were on their own merits.

Gets limited, retail specific bundles, non sanctioned by MS....Forza king of bundles. Lol. Never mind GT3, which will forever hold that title among the console sims. But why the unnecessary teasing, especially when the game ISNT officially bundled yet? Probably because GT6 sales are falling extremely short of its predesessor and naturally bashing Forza seems to be the next logical move to make......yes guys I am aware Forza 5 sales are still lower....that isn't the point.

Another way to avoid micro transactions is to sign up for Forza Rewards which gives you free credits at the beginning of each month. You can also ask for credits when you post in certain treads on the Forza website. Also they adjusted the economy not so long ago so now its a lot easier to get credits. Will get the game sometime next year.
