Forza Horizon 6 Wants You to Love It
5/22/202658 min
Forza Horizon 6 wants you to be happy forever. It features a colossal open world that reimagines Japan, stuffed with more free cars than you’ll ever have time to drive – let alone upgrade. You can win races or lose them; either way, you’ll get rewards. Even its trees will gladly explode into tinder on contact with your vehicle, because the game would hate for a pesky forest to get in the way of chaotic car fun. All of this makes for a fun game. So why are we craving friction? The Besties try to find an answer.

First 90 secondsGriffin McElroy· Host0:00
Guys, you will not believe my luck.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:01
[gasps] Yeah?
Griffin McElroy· Host0:02
I was on a nice walk through my neighborhood, uh, yesterday- Yeah ... and I took a little shortcut down an alley, and I found parked in that alley a 2014 Hyundai Elantra.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:17
And was it in a barn?
Griffin McElroy· Host0:19
No, just sitting on the street.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:21
Just, just sitting in an alley.
Griffin McElroy· Host0:22
It was... And it was close to some, close to some trash cans sitting on the street. So I've got a new Hyundai Elantra. Uh, that car is mine. It's my treasure, and, uh, n- I found it, and there was nobody in it. So now I've added that to my, what I call my collection.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:39
Sure.
Griffin McElroy· Host0:40
Um, and if you look on the street where I live, it's j- like, I've taken up every parking spot. There's that, there's a 2014 Hyundai Elantra. There's a 1970 GMC Jimmy- Oh, so good ... that I found just kind of like sitting in a Walmart parking lot, and no one was in it, so it became my treasure.
Russ Frushtick· Host0:53
Yeah, 'cause traditionally- Yeah.
Griffin McElroy· Host0:55
Yeah ...
Russ Frushtick· Host0:55
historically, I would say if a, if a car you find in a barn is just in a barn, you're free to take it.
Griffin McElroy· Host1:01
That's yours, yeah.
Russ Frushtick· Host1:01
But, but you're saying in this- The rules have expanded ... oh, they've expanded.
Griffin McElroy· Host1:04
Yeah. If you find a c- so if you find a car and it's a little bit dirty- Yeah, yeah ... and it's not parked in a traditional parking spot, and nobody's... This part's so important.
Russ Frushtick· Host1:13
Yeah.
Griffin McElroy· Host1:13
If someone's in it, that's not treasure.
Russ Frushtick· Host1:15
Not okay.
Griffin McElroy· Host1:16
That's someone's car. You can't get in there- Sure ... or else it's grand theft auto, and that's a different game.
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host1:21
[laughs] Um, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm... Did you, did you break any glass?
Griffin McElroy· Host1:27
To get in.
Christopher Thomas Plant· Host1:29
Right.
