Forza 4 remains my favorite for the community features, not really the car list. Forza 6 has the best car list of any game of this kind to date as far as I'm concerned. Although I really, really miss my beloved Tesla Roadster and my not-beloved Spada Codatronca.

I dont get why they straight up dropped car clubs, in 4 and horizon you rarely saw a gamertag that wasnt a member of one. Same goes for having a storefront that you know, works.

Modern supercars just hold zero appeal to me. I really can't even force myself to like their styling at all. Factor in that they are so reliant on computerized things that Forza does not model at all, and yeah, no thanks. Give me an F40 over any supercar made in the last twenty years.

The Jag is cool though.

Yeah I found this out too. The FXX is P class and that's basically a catch-all for so many disparate cars (I swear the difference between 930 and 970 an 999 is exponential). Not sure I'll buy this one.

The F40 was actually the go-to car last time I raced S Early Supercars even though I alternated between the F1 and F1 GT. R and P are still entirely driveable with nothing but TCS since controller steering is adding a lot of those supercar assists back in.

I dont care about cars in that class because if i'm looking for that level of performance the question of "sound system" "exclusivity" and "Protection from the weather" are not a concern. YMMV. I lust after a Caterham with a hot engine, but i wouldnt take any Audi R8 for free.

The reason I'm not jazzed about modern supercars is because they rely so heavily on their assists (even with they're turned 'off'), you can pretty much guarantee that it's not going to feel like the car would actually drive.

So it's just another cockpit.

I maxed out my Hennesey affinity and started messing around with the other hypercars (TCS only) and they all feel very different. Oddly enough my favourite was probably the Veneno even though I still made a mistake at the very end of Seabring that cost me the podium. Maybe it's because my tune was still fast while being a world easier to control than a 9.9/6.4/9.4/6.3 Venom. The Lambo AWD also helps keep the end from fishing out like the Lykan and Huayra.

The Veneno was the first Lambo I ever drove (this was FM5 or FH2) that I felt actually could be easily tuned to both brake and turn while still being very fast.
I absolutely love that car.

I think I put a lot of effort into recreating the stripes so I could use it in another color, probably in FH2.

Here it is. I loved the Veneno but I wanted one that didn't look stock. Those stripes were a pain:


Here's another older Lambo that i thought handled well, it was a DLC car and I forget what it was called:


Also, while looking for it I think I found the closest Rivals loss I maybe have have ever seen:

The Veneno is a good car for R class and has a poo poo-load of grip. Don't be a chump; swap out that 4WD for RWD so the thing actually turns. Don't worry, it's still driveable.

Good idea. I left it AWD in FH2 for the silly offroad stuff. I think in FH2 every car I tuned was AWD for the cross-country crap.

I believe that was announced along with the truck back when Fallout came out, I guess they didn't get around to finishing it until now.

It's also a fairly pointless car. Insane speed for S class but you basically need to run Old Mulsanne in order to hit it. Not much in the way of tuning options aside from weight and tires and the racing weight reduction alone puts it into low-end R.

Has anyone had problems joining JUST Forza MP?

It usually bombs out on the whole "Generating an Exemplary Connection" screen, but every once in a while I get to "Unable to join lobby". This persists after reboots, and rebooting my modem. The Xbone's online tests all come back OK. I also get all of my rewards.

I can join MP matches in other games just fine.

When you own an xbox, you accept little things like having to hard reset it before every race, voice chat not working, and the DVD drive no longer reading discs. its like being a rotary owner.

I'd agree with this guy but he did say a Chevy Spark and a 00's GTO were "classics" at one point so



(Mine does the same poo poo but also include 'won't turn on with the controller/the controller won't connect to a turned-on xbox without a hard reset every 3 times you power it up'.) More like owning an MG.

My rotary was much less of a headache than my Xbox One. It's more like, say a Maserati Biturbo.

My favorite recent Xbox One feature has been any time someone adds me as a friend, it tells me for weeks. Every time I sign on, new notification telling me the same person added me as a friend, and it'll happen 4 or 5 times throughout a single session of gaming. Real good stuff.

I started having this problem a long time ago. I was switching between physical copies of FM5 and SoM.

I found that if I went into apps and completely uninstalled the BluRay Player app, unplugged the console for a bit, then booted and reinstalled it, that would sometimes fix the problem for awhile. I told M$ about it and asked them to fix it and they told me to pay them or gently caress off.

I explained that the problem began before I was out of warranty (I had even called them about it then) and I was only three weeks out of warranty. As a good company, they should take care of this for me for free, especially considering how I would have to reinstall hundreds of GBs of digital games.

I poo poo you not, the response to this was, "Fixing your XBox for free would be unfair to everyone who is still under warranty."

I have maybe had more fun with the XBox One than any other console (debatable, sure) but poo poo like that and Voice Chat angries up my Old Man blood.

Luckily I am back at work and kicking rear end, so I barely have any time for gaming anymore.

I really did want the XBox Forza Edition :( but instead I followed GutBomb's lead and bought a big external SSD to install to. And yes, now my first message every time I log on is "Your External Storage is Ready." FFFFFFFFFF

So once your DVD drive starts to be awful, there's no other recourse but to buddy up with someone*, share passwords, make each other's xbox your 'home' xbox, buy only digital games and then get double the games for your money since both accounts now can share digitally purchased games.





*you need to be able to trust this person or y'know, post about the results if you don't and go ahead with this anyway



Even though this console is objectively worse in 97 ways than the one they based it on, I still think it's great and I enjoy the xbox one, the third xbox they called it the one. PS: have you seen how much RAM lol

Also if you spit when you blow into the nintendo cartridge it actually helps because that moisture helps conduct the electrodes to the cartridgidutdeinal lines on the bank of RAM that is contained in your average NES cartridge (not Zelda though)

The fix for mine is to try it from 1-300 times until it works, altering the angle, holding it, yelling 'gently caress you xbox one', etc.

I did say it was like an MG

As much as it pains and upsets me (I miss my ultimate editions with extra books and swag and stuff), I went digital-only after only buying two physical XBox One (the third XBox) games (Shadows of Mordor, which I enjoyed from start to finish, and FM5, which grew as the console itself grew).
I went to digital because of the flaky BluRay drive only. Although load times have improved with the SSD. On the other hand, I miss the digital-version discounts.

I have this long-ish list of digital games that I have barely even touched:

GTAV (I nearly finished it on the 360, so I'm not sure I'll ever get around to starting over... someone at work convinced me to buy this),
Batman Arkham Knight with a bunch of DLC addons and expansions,
Alien: Isolation,
FM6,
FH2 + Fast & Furious,
The Witcher 3, which might be my favorite, but I'm right near the end and I'm afraid of loving it up and getting a downer ending,
Rory McIlory PGA Tour - what a disappointment, but it's improved some since launch and I have had fun with it,
some free Games with Gold like Tomb Raider:Defiinitive Edition that I'll probably never play,
Star Wars Battlefront, just for the visuals and sounds really... I love flying X-Wings around (the multiplayer may be awful but it really does capture the SW experience well),
Project Cars (almost never played it at all),
and a few things I forgot were there like DOOM, Super Time Force, and Crimson Dragon.

I leave FM5 in the drive since it's still reading the disc and I can go there to nab my rewards and import designs to FM6.

I'm eager to see where they go with FH3 and I really need to finish The Witcher, but all I do with my XBox is build and race cars in the leagues late at night when I have time. I suppose I should launch a bunch of these games and let them update.
