FH5...meh.

Installed all 125GB of FH5 ( XBox Live trial) and found it takes about 10 minutes to start from my HDD, then spends 5 minutes "optimizing" for my PC. Then I get next to no FFB. All cars feel the same. Seems to be a controller game. It stll has the same gameplay as FH4 ( drive like a maniac anywhere, which is fun ) except in Mexico. Not worth a change in locale. FH4 ran great on my same PC. Looks nice though...if I hade an XBox and it ran better, maybe, but I would not upgrade from FH4.
 
I am annoyed by the FFB bug. One year on and no fix. I have to turn off my wheel and turn it back on in-game. Every time.

Some of the new challenges are okay, but I dont' get the weekly season checklist anymore. The UI is so terrible. I used to love going through the list in FH4, now it just seems frustrating. And don't force us to do inane multiplayer events. Those should be completely optional.

Currently I am getting weird artifacts in the grass and foliage. There's no reason this game should run worse than FH4. Not sure if they needed an update this soon...
