Weird, I completed a horizon tour in the bus but it didn't count. Doubt if I'll give it another shot. Here's a tune that cooks people off the line, I couldn't finish better than third with it tho. 161 805 653

I had an S1 bus tuned for the road. The first available Tour event was S1 cross country. That was…interesting, but I actually did okay for myself.

I had a great S1 bus tuned for offroad, and I got the Cross Country event. I left the other buses in the dust, but still got pipped in two of the three races by a well-driven Cossie.

Maybe I signed up for the wrong event or something. I was the only bus there.

It just depends on how many people are trying to do the event. In mine it was four busses, a Cossie, and some other car that disconnected at the beginning of the first race.

Maybe this is a dumb question but are you sure you were doing horizon tour and not horizon open? Tour is the PvE team mode

Yeah, I was doing open. I forgot tour had the place you have to actually go to.

Yeah it’s weird that there’s no way to access it through the regular online menu, but you can also get to it anytime by just clicking the tile on the festival playlist

gently caress me, just getting a clean run on this was a huge pain. While I'm sure I could cut 11 seconds by pushing the curves even in the last half of the race, I'm pretty sure it would take me literally days of trying to actually string it together in a single run.

You'll gain a couple of seconds simply by turning off TCS, it's only ever "needed" if you drive a powerful RWD car with bad traction. TCS in this game is really bad, it does not work like TCS in a real car.

I was worried that there'd be control issues since I can't apply partial throttle on a keyboard, but no, it's just better. Why do they even have that option?

It's so you can spin donuts and honk your police siren at a captive audience, I think. But also you get a new car at the end.

FWIW you can throw some of the minigames pretty fast, and since it's literally impossible to win when you're suddenly down 3 players to 6 after losing the first round then you might as well to get it over with faster.

Do you still get the rewards if you lose? If this sounds like humble brag, believe me it isn't, I just keep getting carried.

Also I don't understand why you would use a police siren when La Cucaracha is right there!

Yes. It used to be you had to win but they changed that a year or two after FH4 launched.

I was strongly tempted by the Microsoft teams ringtone. As a work from homer that is too busy to play games on company time I feel like it is fair game.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

FH4 is a phenominal game, IMO. But it can't be an unqualified statement. For example, the map of FH4 is quite homogenous compared to FH5 and FH3. A mashup of select areas in the UK, but functionally a single 'biome', compared to the variety seen in some of the other games. On the other hand (compared to FH5), the weather applies 'globally', which I certainly appreciated, lending a meaningfully different feel between the seasons, wherever you are (I'm a big fan of Winter in FH4).

I never chased the service-game aspect, and nor did I engage much with the multiplayer (neither being my jam), but including the two DLCs, I clocked up a good 450+ hours with it. Certainly the most I've plowed into any FH game. By comparison, I'm playing FH5 way, *way* less. Part of that is simply there being more competition for my time right now, but it isn't the whole story.

I already have one, probably from a lucky Wheelspin. Is it rare enough that it may be worth something at auction in a few weeks?

No, the game rains them down in wheel spins, they only went for $2m before they were even in the forza shop.

I full speed punted a dirvatar straight off a 90 degree turn out into a field, and it just skipped the next 2 checkpoints and rejoined up in 2nd place.

I have a 900hp grip machine porsche and drivatars in hoonigan cfossies passes me on turns.

This is an event built purely to showcase all of the game's weaknesses.

this game inspired me to buy a racing wheel, a g920 because it's the only thing i could find in this covid scape

hope i don't regret this decision like i did with the flight stick (MSFS2020 always makes me wait 45 minutes at the beginning to update 69 gigs, so i stopped playing)

The singleplayer characters are uncomfortably cringey. I don't think I've ever heard anyone unironically use combinations of english and spanish in a way that FH5 does. It feels like how backwater American people expect to be greeted when arriving at Mexican resorts

The Peel Trident has in it's car mastery a skill that takes the skill multiplier to NINE.

Lambo SVJs have started at a 20m buyout, possibly because of people selling cars from modded accounts.
575m, Gallardo spyder and Peel trident cannot be sold yet.

Trial advice for this season:

1) get matched with a bunch of low level people in cars with garbage or no tunes
2) get blown out your first race leading to everyone quitting except you and one other guy who can drive
3) easily cruise to victory the next two races because the AI can only be ahead of two cars and if you do halfway decent you win
