Horizon Single Player..missing something??

SO we have had Forza Horizon for some time now and most of us are either pretty far into single player or have even beat it already..

Am I the only one who feels it is lacking something?? Just seems like your just moving from race to race with no real reason.. I mean with the discount signs, you have no reason to "buy" any upgrades..so its not like you are racing to make enough money to add that turbo to your car or what not..

With the exception of the off road car you have to buy in the beginning, I haven't purchased any new vehicle and Im like 500 points from my yellow wristband.. So there's no real sense of accomplishment after winning races...with the exception of street races, were you win a car..

I have over 4.5 million in credits and really have no use for them..sure I can buy cars just to buy them but whats the point.??

I just feel like the single player is really lacking the sense of accomplishment... Dont feel like im working towards anything and its getting pretty boring..

Anyone feel this way??

In more wristbands like Purple and Pink and Gold, u will need to buy some new cars, because I had a nice stock and still didn't have the right car for a certain race

I hope so lol...Im doing every race I can until I cant do anything without buying a new car..Still feel a little blah about it though ahhaha

Plus with every wristband, you get the chance to race for a car. Not to mention, you want to try to get to no. 1 popularity. I'm on my gold wristband now and it does feel as though you're just racing to level up, but the real fun of the game is in multiplayer and rivals.

I honestly just need enough cash every now and then to get another car to go cruising in, thats all I wanted out of the game. When I want to race I will pop in Forza 4, this is my relax and play some road trip music game.

I'm really quite enjoying it... I race to see how a car drives, and then I take it back to the garage and tune it for free, trying to get the most out of each car I own. If I find a cool spot or come up with an idea on the way to another race, I spend a bit of time in photo mode. I feel like I'm not just grinding through it, like I felt with FM4, but rather getting a holistic experience of an excellent game. If you're feeling like you're missing something, stop and smell the roses; the game has much more to offer!

I tried some multiplayer earlier, but I couldnt get into it..maybe just need to do races with club members only or something..havent done rivals stuff yet, usually like to complete single player before messing with the other stuff.. Though, like I said, will do multiplayer stuff if its within the club and not randoms

Indeed it does, I just havent messed with photo mode (too much) or painting and such.. AS great as all that can be, it adds nothing to the single player experience, which is what im referring to in this thread..

I cant help but think back to GT were you actually had to work for your stuff..here you just enter a race, if your car is too good or too bad it tells you and that you just auto upgrade it on the spot..lol..no thinking involved..

I agree with you, sonny, multiplayer is much better with club members, or even other members of the forza community. I got in a game with one of the devs in one of the GWD sessions on the 26th with Tolsmir, and it was quite enjoyable. Many of the younger players are much to destruction derby for me... In terms of the career, it does feel slightly lacking, but I think that is because PG didn't want to implement too much of a story, as it would deviate too much from what FM is, and would give more reason for people who liken the game to NFS to bash Horizon. For me, all the little extras make up for the weak story, balancing out single player as a whole.

I was in a multiplayer earlier and demo derby is exactly what it was hahaha

also, does the host decide wether you use auto or manual shifting??
