Why you gotta be that guy, Socks? Like Phancy isn't mean enough and the llama is a pure hater; but you gotta get your $0.02 in, too?

Goddamn.

Also, that chicane IS marked on the map but it's not part of the course. Eat me.

Dude, the "chicanes on the map" thing has become the Forza Goon meme. It's not malicious, it's just a funny in-joke.

Nobody's trying to call you out by referencing it, unlike you calling out Phancy and llama in your post. Stop taking everything so goddamn personally.

On the version of the track with the chicane, there is a chicane clearly marked on the map. When you get to the chicane, there is a giant tire wall across almost the entire track that prevents you from cutting it.

On the version of the track without a chicane, it is clearly marked on the map as being a straight. When you get to the chicane, there is no tire wall and you keep driving straight.

I didn't know it was a "Forza Goon Meme." I do know it can be confusing.

I'll call out people as I wish; because they sure as gently caress will call me out for anything, whether I earned it or didn't. Video game people are like that.

If you have archives, you can find much of it in the GT, FM3, FM4, FH, FH2, and FM5 games threads. I had to kinda give up when FM6 came out because 20+ cars per race is too much for me to keep up with.

I still have all of this stored: the awesome, the great, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the absolutely indefensible. It's not paranoia, it's history.

Everyone says this until they get hosed over enough times, then it's not just "vidya games," it's a thing they want to talk about but everyone tells them it's not important, until they're in the fuckbarrel, too.

I've seen people switch from, "It's just a game, lighten up" to "What the gently caress?" Suddenly the game is serious to the same people who always say, "Games aren't serious business, so lay off and be quiet."

They care. To them, it's not "some poo poo." It's not whiny. Someone they friended wrecked them for position or score on purpose.

At least call it poo poo for the correct reason. I'm no "serious gamer" when others lose their poo poo over a point or a position. They victim-blame instead of being a good sport. Others are simply afraid to call people out for taking a video game TOO SERIOUSLY.

I'm the least competitive gamer out there.

As far as "call-outs": Phancy can be mean but he's trying to be funny, and usually he is. The llama behaves counter to good sportsmanship.

Cubey, I've been responding to posts that are about me. I also posted what I hope is informative to track day bro! about leagues, but maybe I got some details wrong and if so I am sorry and want to stand corrected.
You and I have our differences but honestly I think they are mostly superficial.

I grant you that by feeding the trolls I have misbehaved and for that, I am sorry. I mean, I'd say I offer you an apology but that's not exactly the same as saying, "Cubey, I am sorry."

So I am saying exactly that.

I think my other thoughts on video game driving are not just salient to the topic under discussion but salient to this, your, thread.

Please accept not just my apology, but let's race soon. I already know you'll kick my rear end, but I haven't heard your grating voice in a very long time.

Sorry, Cubey.

If you are getting legitimately upset because people are posting words about you on the internet then you should internet less. I get shittalked in this thread too, nearly as much as you do, but you'll notice I don't post a million defensive posts about it because I don't give a poo poo. Stop giving a poo poo.

This will be my last post on this subject. Just please, stop. This is one of the worst threads in this subforum right now, please stop making it terrible. Forza 6 is a good game that is worth playing and enjoying and it deserves a better thread than this.

Its a rotary? I thought the carpack was pretty rad, although I always like moar racecars especialy lmp1's. I'm just sad that the TS040 only seems to be running on ICE because the telemetry only seems to show it having around 700bhp instead of 1000. Or am I missing an ERS deploy button?

Also i'm sad that all of the older SuperGT cars dissapeared and I badly miss suzuka. It's one of those tracks that has a good variety of different corners making it nice to test on, same goes for catalunya but its not as fun as Suzuka.

Speaking of tuning, is there anything like the old spreadsheet that used to be available for Forza 4? I've got the forzatune app but it's very basic compared to the old spreadsheet which allowed for a tonne of different things.

A high percentage means that it'll lock quicker. Tune it for your driving style and the track. I keep my diffs at 40/40 and go from there. For on throttle oversteer, bump accel diff up to 60 ish.

On topic, as I understand it, you guys race together at a time that's pretty late at night for us in the EU, right? Are there any earlier races that I can join and come dead last in?

They're both Forza, but 4 is 'traditional Forza' in as much as it's circuit racing, while Horizon 2 is an open world driving game with races.

Both are really good fun in their own genres, so it depends on which of those genres you would prefer.

As a side note, Horizon 2's main voice over guy is Sean Maguire, which I, as a UK goon found really weird. Sean Maguire of all people. Why? :iiam:

Babe Magnet
Jun 2, 2008

Yeah I was reading up on the differences between the two. I like traditional Forza but I also dig variety. Does all the tuning and customization and variety as far as cars go get clamped down in Horizon to make way for bigger variety in their races or is it still good ol' car-sperg Forza but now it's party time?

Forza 4 remains the gold standard for the series, buy it. Be warned that the DLC is dead and gone though, so there are some really cool cars you'll miss out on, and the achievements for the Porsche pack as well if that matters to you.

Horizon was a game that was really fun online for a week but the single player I found to be kinda drab and once I'd done all the online stuff, the game lost its appeal.

Horizon was a real disappointment for me online. I remembering firing it up online for the first time, thinking (for some reason) that we'd be able to set a start and finish point on the world map and have a race. Instead it was underwhelming event races and we resorted to lining up at street signs and saying "3-2-1 GO!".

You can still get a code for the Forza 4 porsche pack off of amazon if you want that: http://www.amazon.com/Forza-Motorsport-Porsche-Expansion-Digital/dp/B00MNKYYOI/

They also sell a season pass code, but since the individual car packs are all gone it won't let you download them and is useless.
