A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Are there a lot of cinematics and cutscenes? I tried forza horizon as i think ot was the most popular game at the time and i just wanted to get up and walk away from the computer every time theres like a 30 second cutscene explaining the story and i just wanna drive the damn car in a race!

I'm playing FH4 atm and I feel that! The combination of NPCs always talking, the UI being locked while they do and the fact you can't lower the speech volume below 1/10 is pretty fucking annoying.

I think FH5 was a bit better in that regard but it's been a while so I may be mis-remembering.

There isn't any real story beyond "you're starting a race team, good luck" - it's completely focused on gameplay. The only "cutscenes" in the game are short videos explaining certain event types but they only show up once or can be skipped (24H Le Mans).
