I got banned for a week in FH4 for making a LGBT themed paintjob and sharing it online. Something about there being a "penis or penis related" livery.

You must have the blandest taste in the world if you think the Forza Horizon 5 soundtrack is good. I've never experienced a worse soundtrack using real songs in my life, there is not a single "banger" as it were. It all sounds like the music you hear in a restaurant. In fact my boyfriend works at a chain restaurant and he says "oh god they play this track constantly at work" over and over when I play.

Tbh one of the first things I did was set the radio volume to zero. I don’t really want to be bombarded by someone else’s choice of music for the probably hundreds of hours I’ll play this game.

It truly is one of the worst soundtracks. FH4 wasn't that much better but at least there were some good songs on the Bass Arena channel that made your blood pump.

Broke down on the way to the festival.

The real question is where is the Mastretta MXT or the Chevy Montana or other mexican market vehicles. FH3 had a bunch of aussie stuff. FH4 had a bunch of UK stuff.

All this game has is the Vuhl

They became part of a new corporation this year, speculation is that the licensing has to be worked out anew.

Also, why aren't there any Citroen, and why is the Citroen logo in the manufacturer's list on the DeLorean row? On the positive side, I presume that means both will show up at some point.

You know the guy Don Joewon Song that's #1 on the leaderboards and have a bunch of kick-rear end tunes and paintjobs? He has a youtube channel and there is a list of cool cars + good tunes for them. That Ford Bronco might actually get me to do rivals on cross country tracks.

Also part of Stellantis. As is Fiat, also missing. But so is Dodge and Dodge is in. Licensing seems like a complicated nightmare, so who knows.

It's not clear how I'm supposed to be driving in this game to go fastest. I play a lot of GT Sport and it's a difficult adjustment. Should I be trying to drive properly, with clean racing lines and early straight-line braking, or just trail brake and drift through everything like an arcade game?

There was one good song on Hospital that I randomly ran into, but I cant remember its name because it eventually got lost in the ambient-blandness of the rest of the station. Block Party has Beastie Boys and Run DMC which are always fun when they come on, but nah, Tompa's mostly right, there really is no banger there to get you moving while you drive. Nothing weird about remarking about that I think :shrug:

Classical music station seems decent though, I'll sometimes tool about gently in a Bentley with that on.

speaking of which, we need to get some goon convoys together to do horizon arcade for forzathon points since it's virtually impossible to beat all three stages of arcade events with randos.

If you're going for speed on a road track or paved circuit drive a clean good line within the bounds of the checkpoints. For dirt or offroad races sliding and drifting is often unavoidable or desired.

At the end of the day the game really just wants you to have fun and drive how you like though so drive however feels best so there is not much content that is gated by any sort of win based restrictions, usually a Forzathon rewards car.

Wait is there a goon-gang clan / club to join? I want in.

I bought a poo poo-rear end Ford Grand Cherokee with Stewie Griffin on the side of it. Its perfect.

Also while the festival vibe is fun and inclusive and all that I can't help shake the feeling that this is some sort of invasion. We're invited to enjoy the beauty of Mexico and then do burnouts all over it. I race into the untouched, wild jungle and a C-130 a drops a festival stand in the middle of it. Its some sort of weird car-colonialism. This feeling is really not helped by forcing me to be a British dude. I can suffer a lot of abuse in my life but not that.

If they're only going to give me two voice types to choose from they should just make them be the local accents from whatever the region the game will be set it. Then I can feel pride in doing sick burnouts on the farmers fields and whatnot.

Go to the Online tab in the pause menu and you should be able to search for clubs. It is called "Goon Racing Club" (GRCC) and you should be able to request an invite to it there.

yes.

really yes to both. The game really undervalues awd and punishes rwd.

But generally try to have tight lines use the whole road etc, but also def abuse the arcadey poo poo of cutting some apexes thru grass, curb hopping, etc.

Eh, the speed Arcade isn't too bad. Drift is impossible, and the one with targets (chaos?) just takes too loving long for people to understand. Not sure if there are more, but arcade speed is a good bet for getting round 3 with randos. Everyone understands "go fast", and it synergises well with the S1/S2/X cars that most people seem to like most.

I gift all my Willys to unsuspecting strangers, and while I have yet to be arrested for it, I did get points back, just not instantly. I guess they only come back when someone receives/claims the gift? But like I got a message yesterday evening telling me I got 30 mastery points refunded. So I did another round of super-Willy-spin and gifted them all again.

huh, apparently having "PENIZON" on the vanity plate doesn't trigger the anti-profanity filter. That is good.

In much worse news, I crash to desktop constantly. First it was before even getting to the main menu, I updated Windows with some non-essential updates and I finally got through the intro/character selection/first car selection, but as soon as it was loading the open world it crashed again.

That sucks.
