      John, thanks for saying the TRUTH. Don't listen to what the lamestream media says about me. When I get out of jail I will run for president to tackle the government caused obesity crisis one 5 dollar footlong at a time, and the establishment doesn't want that so they put me in jail.

    i love this expansion, all is perfect, at first i was surprised by the little size of the map , but you have a lot to discover off road , and plenty of mountains , so overall it is the same scale as storm Island maybe even bigger from forza horizon 2. i can't wait for the 2nd expansion and the next forza H4.. on scorpio xD

      Finally someone who actually invests into their channel and plays their games on a PC at the highest settings

    • @ACGreviews
      @ACGreviews  7 років тому +3

      actually. Testing on all rigs is investing(and I didn't get the chance) especially since no game should be playable today with all settings on ultra at 60fps. Future proofing for win!

      Same. Every time you upgrade your festival, even more clutter is slapped on the mini map. I don't think i'll actually ever finish the game. Happy enough hooning for 30+ minutes and turning it off again

      Jake Borrelli I have approximately six billion hours
      in Forza Horizon 2 and 3's championship system took me a long ass time to figure out. The whole game does an incredibly shitty job of telling you how things work. So it was confusing even for an experienced player like me so dont feel bad.

    @AlecsLee 7 років тому +25

    I normally don't enjoy so mucho the racing games (except maybe some wrc , burnout or even the classic "big red racing" in the past LOL), but certanly, this Forza horizon 3 is pure gold...in fact, for my surprise, i've spend a lot of hours in the basic game, and probably gonna buy that expansion as well sooner or later, because I honestly think that with this game, they made , if not the perfect/most complete arcade racing game of all time, one of the best for sure.
    P.S: I wish they do a DLC with bikes, like driveclub, that would be great.

    • @AppleSlipper
      @AppleSlipper 7 років тому

      Getting bikes into the game depends on the physics engine. At the moment, the physics engine won't be able to handle bikes. Three-wheelers are the minimum amount of wheels that the physics engine.

  • @thesprawl2361
    @thesprawl2361 7 років тому +1

    I have to say I only bought this because I've not played a non-Criterion racing game for maybe more than a decade and I really fancied one. I don't like serious racers, I like arcade ones so it took me a while to adjust to Horizon 3.
    But...in a year of fantastic games, one of the best years in a long time, Horizon 3 is the game I have spent by far the most time on. It is one of the most feature-rich games I have EVER played, with the joy of car-collecting(and the cars feel genuinely valuable because with in-game credits being hard to come by you really have to earn them), modding and painting, as well as the ridiculously comprehensive design suite(which I have spent a lot of time in), and then the endlessly subtle racing engine, the enormous map, the online component...it is a ludicrously deep game, deeper than even your Fallouts and Skyrims in my opinion, although obv. very different.
    The DLC felt like a Xmas present, even though it cost money. That's how giving this game is. If you've never tried a serious racer(and this is a serious racer, even if it does have races against blimps and fighter jets) then I can promise you you will enjoy this...so long as you're prepared to put a couple of days into adjusting to the fact that you can't drive sideways through every corner at top speed, and you will have to use this funny button marked 'brakes' quite regularly. Basically, if you can get over the pretty grim, frustrating adjustment period, when you smash into every corner and have to use the(very, very useful) 'rewind' function every five seconds, then you will come out the other side into a world of joyous, absorbing racing, and beautiful, beautiful cars(all of them modeled to a mental degree, all of them satisfying to gain due to the difficulty in doing so. No cheap, easy unlocks here.).
    I could have gone on about so many other features, like the addictive Wheelspin feature, where you get a chance of winning money/cars/special edition perk-cars when you go up a level, or the brilliant photography suite, or the joys of finally getting to drift around corners in Blizzard Mountain due to the snow flurries, or the beautiful little village that sits in the middle of a blizzard zone, or the long, sweeping east coastline of Australia that is such a joy to drive down...
    Seriously though, just get it. And if you, like me, are an arcade racer and Burnout fan at heart, remember to persevere until you get a feel for braking at corners, driving lines, taming the back-end when it starts getting squirrelly...give it a chance and it will pay you back in spades.

  • @liamo345
    @liamo345 7 років тому

    I bought this yesterday solely based off your review and it's excellent. I like how you're not afraid to give real in depth reviews and you take the time to elaborate and expand upon the points you're making. Honestly, I think ACG is the only place I trust for reviews. Even when I disagree on a review, the reviews themselves are fleshed out so well it's still interesting to hear your opinion. Great job!

  • @thesprawl2361
    @thesprawl2361 7 років тому +1

    The only problem I had with the main map was the lack of mountain and valley locations, so this is a very welcome update, and the snowy location made it a perfect Christmas game for me. The new map is a bit samll, but it's packed with content and a lot of distance is hidden by the verticality of the location. It's bigger than it seems. A bit of heavily wooded, rally-style locations would've been cool though.

    @Sathanous 7 років тому +1

    it's also worth noting that I don't know why, if it's with VIP and Car Pass or what, but my expansion pass said on sale until 12/31 for $24 so you get each expansion for $12 instead of $20...

    I'm a huge fan of the Forza series since the first game released on the original Xbox. In fact, I have every entry in the series with the exception of Forza Horizon 3 and this DLC which I do plan on buying sometime soon. The franchise has managed to maintain a pretty good level of polish with every title that has come out. In fact, I'd even say that Forza is a better franchise than Gran Turismo. Forza Horizon 3 Blizzard Mountain's snowy setting actually reminds a little bit of Motorstorm Arctic Edge on the PSP which is a really fun game. Thanks Karak!

      Byron Mendez intel 6700k, 64GB ram, Nvidia 980, 500GB SSD. The crashing happened just after the first splash screen. I talked to support, they said to reinstall, I did, same thing, it kept crashing so I refunded the game. I have all my games running well, from battlefield 1, watch dogs 2, far cry primal, doom, fallout 4, they all work flawlessly, only thing that comes to mind is the fact that is a windows game

    I know this has nothing to do with the review but it was heart warming to see so many people referring to ACG's channel for reviews on Angry Joe's videos. Karak truly deserves this!

    • @dondacific4209
      @dondacific4209 7 років тому +1

      Ameed Azfar i do like Angry Joe but i hate his excuses for not doing any reviews. He said he is sick but then i see him livestreaming on Twitch and drinking beer. He makes some bullshit excuses. ACG is a very good reviewer and is consistent with keeping up with the games releasing.

    • @Cabalisticforces
      @Cabalisticforces 7 років тому

      Same here. I don't really mind him and I'm not celebrating his downfall or anything but he has been giving endless promises over the years. Promises that were never kept. I'm just happy ACG is flourishing because I often buy games recommended by Karak and I have never been disappointed.

    Despite being smaller, i actually enjoy this map more than the one in the full game. Chalk it up to me fancying snow levels, but flying down the peak scratches an itch I havent felt since SSX 3, and on top of that it's goregous. Love this DLC

    Much less stuttering, but overall similar frame rate. Base game my cpu and gpu usage never exceeded 50% no matter the settings. Near 100% gpu usage in blizzard mountain. I can even turn settings up to a mix of ultra & high (as opposed to medium) and have a solid 30 fps lock. Running with an fx 6300 & r9 280x. Good review btw, it is a blast to play.

  • @PLAYER_42069
    @PLAYER_42069 7 років тому +2

    Great review!
    I own the game on PC and XB1, and I've found if you have enough RAM (I have 32GB; GTX 980ti), setting the system page file to zero (0) removes almost all of the stuttering in the game. This is because the game is almost a 1:1 port from the XB1, so it manages memory differently than true PC games do. So, the more unfettered memory it has, the smoother it runs. Try it out, if you haven't already?

    • @lwaves
      @lwaves 7 років тому

      Interesting. I've not seen that method before although I'm not really having much stutter in the main game anyway, except for the middle of the city. My main issue is an unstable 60fps but even that's manageable if I go about things the right way.

    • @lastone032085
      @lastone032085 7 років тому

      That's weird. For that to even have a benefit as you describe it would mean that damn near the entire game gets loaded into RAM. That's kind of nuts if that's the case. I'll have to check that out because 32gb of RAM to run a game smoothly is insane.

    • @PLAYER_42069
      @PLAYER_42069 7 років тому

      lastone032085 The reason is FH3 is almost a 1:1 port of the XB1 game. XB1 has shared memory (8GB; video + system), so even the PC version is looking for one giant RAM pool instead of the separate system RAM and DDR5 video card RAM found on PC video cards.
      If you put FH3 to "low" settings, it uses about 4-5GB of Video RAM alone. This is why players with cards with 4 GB of VRAM... Like 970s... Are constantly crashing to desktop even at "low" settings. It's a very bad port...

    • @gamesmaster1060
      @gamesmaster1060 7 років тому

      MI-74 But I have a 970 and I can run at high at 60 and ultra at 30-40

    • @PLAYER_42069
      @PLAYER_42069 7 років тому

      That's the kicker, though.
      Performance of FH3 on PC is just too random. For some, it works flawlessly even with lesser hardware. For others with the latest and greatest specs, it's complete mess (stutters, CTD, etc).
      It's just a bad port because it's more or less the XB1 version converted to x86 architecture to run in a Windows environment and nothing more.

  • @NeonKing2754
    @NeonKing2754 7 років тому

    If your on PC and you own a 144hz monitor set the the frame rate to 48fps. the only time I really get slow downs is in the city and there not to bad. I have i5 6600k with a GTX 970 g1 and it was able to hold this frame rate very well and this is with mostly everything on ultra or high and 4xmsaa. 60 is to high and 30 is to low 48 is just right lol.

      It's a panelvan, the most famous version of which was dubbed the "Sandman" and was built by Australia's GM division "Holden" www.google.com.au/search?q=sandman+panel+van&espv=2&biw=3840&bih=2040&site=webhp&tbm=isch&imgil=IyLEvIYw8NCQfM%253A%253BVhmFsONJOOUJBM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.shannons.com.au%25252Fauctions%25252F2007-shannons-melbourne-summer-classic-auction%25252FKD93BJC6C844RMDC%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=IyLEvIYw8NCQfM%253A%252CVhmFsONJOOUJBM%252C_&usg=__77Q1UroeKTttHixLGpC7e7dsFJw%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjY3NDhl_jQAhULjLwKHXYsDagQyjcIJw&ei=F5dTWJj1BYuY8gX22LTACg#imgrc=_ They actually made a bunch of shapes for that model, a 2 door dubbed the "Monaro" a ute, a wagon and of course a sedan called the "Kingswood" which was one of GM-H's biggest selling cars - the panelvan was also used for ambulances, cop cars and paddy wagons too! A very iconic Aussie car. I'd be willing to put money on it that someone turned it into a hearse too, probably the long wheel base version which was dubbed the "Statesman".

    @jayaros5337 7 років тому

    I found that with the PC, if you turn off the FXAA while you have MSAA at 2X it seems to run better, at least on my rig. My specs are i7 4790k@ 4.5Ghz, 16GB DDR3 2400, GTX 1080, ASUS ROG Maximus VII hero Z97, Corsair RM850 PSU, 960GB PNY SSD. I know not everyone has beastly specs, but I don't think its hardware but coding that's the problem. If turning off FXAA and leaving MSAA at 2X works for others, great.

      The Crew's Lamborghini Huracan literally sounds retarded. Play Driveclub instead! It's even more realistic than Forza by far in every single little aspect. Give it a go not sure if theres a demo or not but I really think you would enjoy it.

  • @mrcrunch8000
    @mrcrunch8000 7 років тому

    I always love your videos and appreciate the time you put in to them. I just have one criticism and it is for the majority of review type videos for fh3 not particularly this one. It's just the comment that this is a tough or demanding game for many pc's. I'm one of the many people with stuttering issues and have an i7 6700k and gtx 1070. Even with the weaker gpu and targeting a vsynced 60fps the gpu doesn't come close to being fully utilized and the cpu only sustains a 30% load throughout the entire time of playing. The game just refuses to use the resources available and concentrates most of its tasks to a single thread of a cpu. Racing games have always seemed to be mostly cpu dependent so the performance is of no surprise with it using under 1/3 of an i7's potential. The game really isn't all that demanding. Things like a rx 480 and a 1060 can make this game look stunning if it took advantage of what the cpu has to offer. Unfortunately the entire process is held up by its single threaded decryption drm nonsense that isn't quick enough to feed everything. Sorry for the rant.

    They need to add a silly snow plow mode.
    Race to see how much road you shovel and salted. Race to pile the biggest pile of snow. Race to bury as many other cars driving on a giving track/path in snow without actually hitting the cars.

  • @kenterminateddq5311

    I am not a racing game fan but I LOVE Forza Horizon 3.
    It might not be better than Uncharted 4 but since I only have a XBOX ONE, this game is my game of the year. I might get this DLC.

    • @lwaves
      @lwaves 7 років тому +3

      You can't really compare it to Uncharted 4 as they are completely different games. Both are good at what they do, or so people say about Uncharted as I've never played it. But going off their game styles I would say FH3 is better because it's a game I can play and play trying to get all my faves cars. With Uncharted I'd play it once annd that'd be it.
      If you bought FH3 Ultimate then it's definitely worth getting the discounted pass before the end of the year. Blizzard Mountain is worth it and that effectively means you get the next expansion for $5, whatever that expansion may be.
      If you have to pay full price for the pass, or get them individually then it's up to you. Blizzard Mountain is great fun with some stunning scenery, but do expect a LOT of blizzards. ;-)

  • @Drummercommander
    @Drummercommander 7 років тому +3

    I do not understand why the PC issues aren't fixed yet. Sounds like you are experiencing minor problems, but there are a whole lot more out there: Random crashes, frame drops, rims that disappear, subtitles that don't show up, multiple voice-overs talking at once... The game is a mess. These are issues that I experience every time I launch the game. This DLC looks nice, but I'm not going to spend even more money on this game until they fix these things!
    Also, just a side note, I think they should have included the expansion pass in the €100,- ultimate edition :/ I've never spend this much on a game and I've never played such an unstable game in my entire life. It's such a shame because I really like what the game has to offer!

      ACG Yes I know, but the review overall was positive, and the actual verdict of the review reflected that. Where as with FF15, the verdict was positive, but it didnt reflect it imo because you spent more time talking about negatives and didn't really show much emphasis on the positives, where as here you did.

    • @ACGreviews
      @ACGreviews  7 років тому

      ah gotcah. Interesting. I am always so interested in how so many folks found it absolutely positive, even too much. And then a couple found it much more negative. Really interesting group watch statistics on that review.

  • @GODzilla_FH

    Sure it's free with the Season Pass? Are there three different passes, as in Season Pass, Car Pass and Expansion Pass? Or are you mixing up Season with Car Pass, as in they are actually the same? Does only the Expansion Pass contain the expansion dlcs? Is Microsoft bonkers with their pricing and pass-stuff? Am I going slightly insane over this?
