I'm still shy of 300 roads found but I have all my fast travel stuff and all my perks which is nice. I need to spend more time in free roam with goons just driving around I think. Only a few more unique car pictures left to take so I don't have to see that icon anymore. I'm excited to play tonight. Finally got my Xbone replaced so I don't have graphics issues in game anymore. Well I hope, the downloads from Microsoft are painfully slow (under 1MB/s) so I haven't had a chance to play on the replacement bone yet. Tighran posted:Stuff Adding you. I also thought I was doing well with my 3.5 mil. I didn't know there was a car for 6 mil. Guess that will take me a while. A c E fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Oct 16, 2014 |

Woo, found the last road. It was a short connecting street in the NE of Nice, near the huge overpass. I had driven both of the roads it connects to, so the edges where white with a very small grey transition in the center on the map. I'm still missing a lot of boards though... maybe 1/2 of them all, but I haven't seen any appear on the map lately. Guess I need to do a lot more thorough exploring. According to the game, I've earned 7.2 mil cr so far (22% overall completion, 20 championships completed). As for pricey cars, WITH the discount perk, the 250 GTO is 5.85 mil, the 250 TR 4 mil, Aston DBR1 4.5, and the Daytona Coupe 3.78 mil. That being said, none of them are really necessary for their given classes and it actually fairly well simulates their real world value, so it does add a bit of prestige to them in-game I suppose. In practice, I've got plenty of money to buy the cars I actually want to drive. I'd love to try out the DBR1 and 250 TR, but I've already got 70 something cars in my garage and 3 mil in cash to buy more, so as long as you're not dead set on driving those classics or owning EVERY car, you get plenty of money. Add in some really cool barn finds (and some meh barn finds) and wheelspin rewards and there's really no grounds for complaint.

So I managed to have enough free time to advance through the game and beat the finale. For me, the game gave me purpose - that is, trying to win enough championships to enter and beat the final stage. Now that I've done that, I really feel like the game has no more replay value for me. The championships to get to the finale were never that fun. Very formulaic, two circuit races, a street race that is hard to navigate your way around, and a trail race that is IMPOSSIBLE to navigate around (and win) without both enabling the full racing line AND setting the AI to 'mouthbreather'. Whereas with Forza 5, I keep coming back to play for the simple purpose of hotlapping since the the physics are spot on. It's fun to blast around in a car I can't afford on a real life track I want to drive on, while bound by real life handling. Horizon 2, in contrast, is still arcade-ish that while it was fun during the campaign, I don't really enjoy blasting around in an arcade game. I also really wanted to get into the Horizon 2 world, but it just seems so, well, bland. All the cities seem the same, the roads connecting them (and scnenary) are all cookie cutter. Horizon 1's world was much more varied. You could go to different cities and each one seemed different. You could blast around a canyon, carve up mountain passes, or wind through beautiful forest roads. Horizon 2, it's three beach towns connected by highways and mountain passes. No variety there. Lastly, let's talk about the online play. It's pointless. Sure, I like to joke around, have fun and try to race in nonsensical vehicles like vans, SUVs, etc. But, I don't wreck people, I apologize if I screw up a braking zone and punt a guy, etc. But the Horizon players don't even try to race. Everyone just smashes everyone out of the way. I've tried for days to get a clean race in. It hasn't happened. I really regret buying this game on launch day. For $60, I feel ripped off. If I had paid $25 like I did for Horizon 1 (after it had been out a while), I would have felt like I got my money's worth. Looking back, I should've passed on the game when the demo really, really underwhelmed me. Ugh, just needed to rant a bit. Just got back from a few road trips, tried to get at least one clean race in. No dice. I just don't see the point in continuing to play. I'm not a completist, so trying to find all the roads or barn finds doesn't appeal to me. And since the game hands out money like candy, there's no sense of accomplishment when you win enough races to finally afford that car you've been lusting after. The game hands out so much money, it's almost like having a money cheat enabled or something. Dolemite fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Oct 17, 2014 |

Holy crap the attention to detail on the cars is impressive. On a whim I wondered whether they modeled the brake intake flaps on the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, and they actually went to the trouble of modeling and animating the cooling flaps which only activate under heavy breaking. This is something that no one would actually see unless they paused the game and looked for it under the right conditions.

I think rivals mode uses a ghost of one of your best laps to race against, and you just keep doing laps until you can beat the ghost.

You guys are so many levels higher than I am, it's crazy. I didn't play at all when I was sick; and I've been reading after work. I'm gonna probably hit the Horizon Finale this weekend for the first time, though. How about you? How's my drivatar? When you pull up behind me, does it say, "Lag Driver?" My favorite thing about launching FH2 is the dravatar rewards message. My drivatar is in SO MANY RACES every day it's hilarious to see, "Your drivatar has been in 220 races and earned 34,000 cr" or whatever it is. How about a few pics? The Jaguar and the "Antonov" are both leaning right. Jag Coupe belching flames: I like how you can set the car just so for a pic. ...and I just finally finished another Forza's incarnation of my first actual "replica" style livery, the 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo dressed up in the BMW Alpina Jungmayer suit. I recreated the KS-KolbenSchmidt pistons logo and the Kugelfischer Einspritzpumpen (mechanical fuel injector pump) logo for hopefully the last time in a very long time. They're on the market if you want them, GT Captain Howdy 0. Nice to have this finished. (later) Alas, one last road trip, one last Championship, until my first shot at the Finale. I'm glad to hear it's pretty epic, but sad to hear it's only available like, every 60 races or so... Gonna try dis Maserati now. One of the few cars I haven't AWD-drive-swapped (I am a bad person succumbing to peer pressure... everybody's doing it!) (later) The Finale was a blast. Lovely long circuit with mixed weather and fast opponents. Not very challenging, really; but AI usually isn't. That course should be made available for Rivals racing (assuming it is not). I kept it honest and drove an MR F40 at S1 900. I figured that was a good sweet spot for the first time around. Maybe next time I'll do it in D class. I think tomorrow I'll go Rivals racing and say hello to GRC (so many people in the club right now, it's pretty darn cool.) So, hooray. I hope I don't lose interest right away like I did with FH1. After I beat the top boss I never launched it again. I think I still have two barn finds to do, tons of roads and signs, and of course a lot of championships. O, and of course a bunch more car packs to try out since I bought the Season Pass this time. Yeah, pretty sure I'll be playing a lot longer. (next day) And today I get up and start a new championship, post Finale (1). I level up twice, and, difficult to believe, these are my first two level-up wheelspins: Where the hell were these kind of rewards before? Even with the reward perk I was constantly getting 6,600CR and 17,500CR level rewards, and the only car I spun was a 1995 VW Corrado V6. During that whole time I got one (1) top-level cash payout, almost everything else was garbage. Now this. smh Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Oct 19, 2014 |

I actually had some time to play yesterday and finally finished the Finale. It was pretty fun, I raced in an A700 Ferrari F355. I've still got a good amount of stuff to do in the game, so I think there will be a bit more longevity than the first Horizon. As far as the wheelspin goes, I'm somewhere around level 60 I think, and I've gotten only 2 or 3 car awards. I'm getting a LOT of really low level prizes as well, mostly under 20,000CR. So you're getting pretty good luck man, good on ya.

I'm only 55th or so and I've gotten maybe 7 cars and twice gotten the "biggest cash prize available", one was like $220k and the other was $160k or something. But I also get the $5500 one/other useless ones a lot too. Still 2 championships away from the Finale.

I guess it's just random but when you have a day like I've had today, I don't know what to think. Since I posted rewards before, I have spun one max cash reward and now this: I'm really digging the nice new rewards (I looked longingly at the Shelby Daytona Coupe at the autoshow today and realized I had just enough to buy it but not upgrade it.) I did get the 10% off upgrade parts perk today, that might help a little. But I'm not ready to blow my whole bank on one car yet. I built a Subaru WRX for some rally racing and that car is the tits, in A class. Maybe the most rock-stable car I've driven yet. I hate that it's getting late because I have laundry and dishes to do and dinner to think about but all I want to do is keep on doing Championships.

A couple other questions about Drivatars while we're on the subject. - Do people who have Forza 5 have their Drivatars imported automatically, even if they don't have the game? I've seen a few people I recognize who are Level 1 constantly, like I see Endbuster, and I'm pretty sure he said he didn't have Horizon 2. - You know when you're driving around and Anna's like "Hey, one of Horizon's best drivers is in the area, I've marked him on the map." Does the game pick these at random? I've raced a couple that were tough, but the last couple I've raced have been like level 5 or 9, and pretty slow.

Everyone just seems to vote S2 every time and drives like a maniac, even ramming you when you are on the same team as them in the red vs blue races. This. You're spot on with this. All the racers vote S2 and pick cars that are wayy above their collective talent level. I did manage to get a few decent races in this past weekend. Emphasis on a few. Sadly, I started doing better once I adopted a "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude. To that end, I pretty much just pick the heaviest vehicles I own. That way, when I get crashed into, my battle tank of a van / SUV / truck doesn't really budge. Since I've given up on having clean races, I just return the other racers' favors, use the massive weight of my ride and slam them back. Not going to lie, it's very satisfying to exact revenge on a wrecker by slamming them into an oncoming car or a light pole. That crash sound effect and the sudden disappearance of the prick's car from my peripheral vision always makes me crack a smile. The team thing is also annoying when the other racers don't get the concept of working together as, well, a team! It's pretty annoying when a faster teammate is on my rear end and they ram me into a wall after I've already pulled off the racing line to let them by. You know, so that way we can have more finishers on our team at the top of the standings! quote:I do really enjoy the road trip parts between the races though. With no checkpoints it's great to just blast through hills and forests just to get to the endpoint makes me wish the cross country races had no checkpoints, or at least less checkpoints. Hopefully they'll add some more multiplayer options in a patch. Also this. I would enjoy the trail races, street races and sprint races so much more if there were no checkpoints. Or at the very least, if there was a pointer arrow that can point you in the general direction of the next checkpoint. I'm not sure why they take away your GPS during those races too. In the developers' eyes, they probably thought the GPS would take away from the challenge. But I wouldn't think so. You still need to avoid cars, keep from crashing your ride into trees and still drive with skill to beat everyone else. This game is like an abusive relationship. I keep coming back to it. No matter how much I bitch about it. I would totally be down for a Goon road trip so that we can actually get some clean racing in. Oddly enough, I've seen several GRC drivatars tooling around the game ever since joining GRC. I didn't think my world would be populated with Goon racers so soon! I hope my drivatar doesn't say something like "stupid newbie" above it!

Re: drivatars, I have played this game enough to confirm that the difficulty under a drivatar is just random and has to do with the payout if you race it head-to-head. I've regularly seen drivatars go from Pro to Average for people who don't own the game and haven't touched FM5 in a year. Howdy, the only time I looked at yours it said "Highly Skilled"--that's of course when I found out it wasn't the actual drivatar skill. As for "drivatars" they're really just AI cars with your name over top of them. If you go into your stats/telemetry, that's the type of poo poo your drivatar uses--average front-right tire temperature, max left-rear suspension load, basically a bunch of completely retarded poo poo like that. It isn't even accurate, it says my average suspension load is more than my max (and the max of all three other tires) for my right-front tire. It makes sense since drivatars don't overshoot every single goddamn turn. They do, however, use your actual cars, and the liveries for them. For example, here's Wazzit's DB5 sitting completely motionless on the side of the road: Dolemite posted:So I managed to have enough free time to advance through the game and beat the finale. For me, the game gave me purpose - that is, trying to win enough championships to enter and beat the final stage. I agree with almost all of this, the difference being that I do really enjoy blasting around in an arcade game, so this game is loving perfect for me. I don't do online in Forza (or any online racing in any game period) because 11 year olds shockingly loving suck at driving, nor can I deal with the drivatars on anything except Tard Mode (although I did the road trip poo poo until the finale twice and just do rivals now). I started out on highly skilled, slowly realized highly skilled/pro/unbeatable are almost identical--just on unbeatable you get rammed constantly--and then realized you make substantially more money/XP on easy mode because of all the skill bonuses you get from not getting rammed every three seconds. Going back to FM5 feels weird just because of the jump from 30 to 60fps. I played the poo poo out of FM4 though and FM5 is basically a huge disappointment, it seems like every single car besides the Ariel Atom and that KTM thing that looks even remotely fun and wasn't in FM4 costs extra money in FM5. They're also missing a lot of my favorite tracks, and what they've added instead is... Long Beach: Hope You Like First Gear.

I have the Thrustmaster tx wheel with the shifter and 3 pedal add-on. It adds a lot to the experience and it's 90% as good as my old fanatec wheel I keep around for ps3 and 360. The fanatec equipment is going to be very expensive compared to the Thrustmaster and it's not out yet so I'd recommend going with the Thrustmaster. Don't bother with the $99 Thrustmaster. It doesn't have force feedback.

Wow. I 'beat' this on the 360 and now that my One is here I sold that sucker and upgraded. Holy poo poo. It feels like a totally different game with all the little extra touches. My only annoyance so far is drivatars that like to make out of nowhere turns right Into a field while I'm passing then. Then again, maybe Maybe I'm doing this all wrong. Also. Anyone that enjoys racing games is an idiot if they don't buy this console. It's been one day and I already regret I waited so long. Hallelujah!!

Nuts and Gum posted:I broke down and ordered the TX wheel and a wheelstand. I can't find that loving awesome thrustmaster shifter (th8a?) anywhere, or the pedals. Anyone know where to look? Now that I know it exists, I can't live without one. I ordered the pedals and shifter on Amazon, but I preordered them. It looks like you can only order the shifter used on there now, and the pedals aren't available at all. It's the best shifter I've ever used for a sim racing wheel. I've used Fanatec CSR shifters and Logitech G27 shifters. I haven't used the Fanatec ClubSport shifter which is probably better, but you have to be in the whole Fanatec ClubSport ecosystem to use it. The pedals leave much to be desired, although they are better than the stock pedals because there's a clutch. I am waiting for Basherboards to make the CPX adapter available so I can use my Fanatec CSR elite pedals with the Thrustmaster stuff. It will be the best possible setup for me, I'll only have to swap out the wheel when switching back and forth between XBone and XB360/PS3. Right now I have 2 wheel stand pros, one with the Fanatec GT2, Fanatec CSR Elite Pedals, and Logitech G27 shifter with the Basherboards FL1 adapter which makes the shifter work with Fanatec. The other wheelstand has the Thrustmaster stuff. I also have a Logitech G27 wheel, shifter, and pedals collecting dust. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Oct 22, 2014 |
