It seems as though the paint effects were a bit of bs because I cant find matte paint or white wheels anywhere

I wish we could import our cars and money from a forza 3 savegame. I've ground through the FWD beginner races of racing sims for 15 years now. Just let me keep my giant car collection and race the advanced races. :( I figure I will finish rage and portal 2 before I buy this one.

I wasn't really going to get this game but then once I played the demo and heard the engine sounds I had to pick it up. I was having fun on my lunch just throwing different cars around the track just to hear the great sound in this game.

I also sent a join request into the car club.

It's not much of an issue at all. I played F3 but wasn't even maxed out or anything and still had a great start in this game. I think I was only 39 in F3 but had 8 or so cars transfer, plus 49k credits. Not to mention this game just throws money and prize cars at you. I've done the first 2 seasons, using a car that was already sitting in my garage, and am now up to 20 or so to choose from spreading from F to R3.

You'll probably start with at least a 430 Scuderia, Murcielago, and possibly an LFA if you had that or get it from someone in this thread. That's far from a FWD beginner race to kick off with

I'm still looking for an answer to my earlier question about the AI:


Another question I have is since I got the American Muscle DLC as Launch Bonus but bought the season pass and essentially double bought that content, wasn't I supposed to receive some in-game credits or something?

You can't change the AI in world tour mode. It gives them upgraded cars to match yours and uses an auto adjusting difficulty scale. If you keep winning, they get better, if you keep losing, they get worse. In other modes, you can select from 4 difficulties and select whether or not they get to use upgraded cars.

Edit: I don't know about the in game credits. I thought you were supposed to get some for that, too.

Can you only download one car pack at a time in your queue? I started downloading the BMW M5 then entered in the codes for the limited edition content and launch car pack and even though I clicked Download Now neither of them get added to my Download Queue. I even tried to manually add them from my purchase history on the Xbox site and they still won't add to the queue.

The notchback looks like a econobox.

Also, everyone needs to do that nurburgring Top Gear challenge. The radical is loving INSAAAAAAANE. Also, what car do i drive on maple valley first? Thunderbird, Mustang or Fairlane?

once again, the data is the same between the muscle car pack/launch pack/pre-order bonus/VIP pack. it will only download the data once, but will still unlock the proper stuff in game

The muscle car pack doesn't show as purchased if you have the LCE. It's part of the LCE pack, which includes all the cars you get with the LCE.

I deleted everything but my save game files since I only have a 20gb as well. I'd have to imagine as long as the cars are within your profile/save game you'd be fine.

I pre-ordered a copy of FM4 LCE at best buy but none of the stores in town had the LCE shipped to them so I basically I wasn't going to get even though I pre-ordered it. So i said gently caress it and bought the standard version. Hopefully I don't miss out on too much fun

Ahh ok thanks for that, I'm on season 3 and the AI is STILL terrible and I haven;t had trouble winning so far so I was wondering about that,also sent my request to join lljk so looking forward to some goons rivals mode.

Also wanted to second the Mass Effect/F4 menu music similarities, I dig it. The race music however is atrocious and among the worst I've ever heard in a game so it's all the better the cars all sound so beautiful.

I had that happen the first several times I tried to join a game, but it seems to be working now.

Also, I discovered that the Gran Turismo "press square for brakes" does not equate to "mash brake trigger all the way in for brakes." Helps you go faster...

After a race there's a "save replay" or "watch replay" option. Along with leaderboards, restart, etc.

Holy poo poo this is amazing. In career mode with most assists off you get 145% more credits, plus all the random bonuses. At level 9 I already have free Honda parts, and $200,000. I built a 600HP Civic to try drag racing because it only cost 15,000 forzabucks for the car, why not? Speaking of Drag racing where's the drag racing rivals stuff?

So much more to do in this game, tomorrow will be a longer day at work than today was. :smith:
