What are everybody's favorite D and C class clunkers in Forza 5? I just stumbled on the Datsun and it's so much fun to sling around. With rally tires and engine upgrades it turns into a pretty solid 500

 The 1974 Honda Civic hands down. Going 250 km/h in a little cheap old shitbucket is just my thing. I love it so much I recently got it as a 1:24 diecast model.

For completionist sickos in Horizon, note that there’s a new-to-the-game car buried in the seasonal championships each week of this season. Feels like it’s been a long time since the new cars weren’t just the weekly 20/40 point reward. E: there’s also a new car as the 20 point reward like usual, so 2 new ones per week

I wish the Opens had D and C class options, but the Tours do at least. I've got at least a Subaru 22B and Celica GT-Four set up for C rally that I love.

FH5 still gives a speed advantage the higher FPS you have I did that seasonal with a normal grippy 488 GTB: 107 582 258 also my favorite C class is a Toyota MR2 with bigger displacement and racing super charger, not because it's fast, but because the charger sings so loud it's funny

Powershift posted:Don't tell Turn 10, but i would pay $30 for a pack of direct ports of Camino, Fujimi, Infeneon, and Positano. The vista that's showcased during the starting downhill section of Camino still looks great imo, it's a fun track and they picked a great location for it as well. They were really on a roll for a while there with all the variety and designs for fictional tracks. On the subject of Positano though, pretty sure I've said this before but since old Horizon games get delisted I really wish they were preserved in Forza Motorsport games in some form. Take Forza Horizon 2 for example, that opening race for the game that begins in the town and goes along the coast is both stunning and really fun to race along as well. I wish Turn 10 had lifted that section from the game (since it's the same engine, or at least was...) and maybe have it run from the town all along the coast to the harbor at Nice, which would make for an excellent point-to-point track that could be raced both ways and also cut into smaller sections like they did with Fujimi Kaido & Positano. They wouldn't need to update much either, just add some better foliage and some crowds/stands and then block off roads that stray from the route. Doing the same with other Horizon games would be great as well, like maybe lifting a route from the jungle section of Australia in Horizon 3 and perhaps creating a city track based on Edinburgh from Horizon 4? Those games will all be delisted eventually (along with Horizon 5) so lifting a track from each game would be ideal. Remember when FM4 (I think it was 4?) had the "Where dreams are driven" text on the box? FM is really missing that now. Racing exotic cars along the Amalfi coast nails that fantasy, doing laps of loving Virginia yet again is a wholly depressing and miserable experience. FM used to embrace racing all around the world on famous race tracks and at exotic locales, I miss that. Whoever chose tracks like Virginia, Homestead, Kyalami & Eaglerock over Bernie's is a sicko. This would be such a good track for FM, but have it continue along the coast to Nice at 6:40 rather than going right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p-8C9an0KE&t=260s

They shot themselves in the face with the release, but to be fair they have fixed loads of stuff since launch and doubled performance (on my computer at least). The upgrade system is inoffensive now too. Career mode still sucks and mostly doesn't exist. GT4's campaign must be lostech that the Adeptus Mechanicus worships as an angry machinespirit or something and thus cannot be replicated.

Why doesn't this stupid game let you pick a car class (or maybe 2) and just play an endless career mode? Boxing and UFC games don't make you go up in weight class once you've created a fighter, because sometimes you want to enjoy different styles of the sport. It cannot be hard to figure out how to make this a game option. I never want to be immediately forced into faster and faster cars/classes I have no interest in buying cars for, I enjoy driving 130mph in 1970s and 1980s motorsport classics. And bring back Positano, Camino, Fujimi, Maple & the Sunset Oval, they're all ten times better driving experiences than any of the shitass F1 tracks that aren't Spa or Suzuka. I can play this game for about 20 minutes in any one session because it's such a pain in the balls to try and have any fun with it. And Gran Turismo 7 is equally idiotic but adds in the joy of pressing a button 5 times to do any 1 thing. A lot of design decisions on this era of racing game are particularly baffling.

It sort of does this, if you do free race you pick a car and it will endlessly feed you races for it. You gain money and exp like normal. But I wouldn't exactly call that a career, there needs to be a bit more progression to it than just grinding money.

Is there an open class tour for career mode that resets every week? It's only like D class, C class, B class, then A class, though. I did the whole thing with an 87 trans am.

i stopped playing forza motorsport primarily because the penalty system was absolutely, catastrophically poo poo and made multiplayer races horrible. i decided to check around elsewhere to see how things are now. https://www.reddit.com/r/forzamotorsport/comments/1bn85ka/most_deserved_forza_penalty/ glad to see it still sucks rear end. even better, they've apparently made some changes to it that make it disgustingly easy to give someone a large penalty by brake checking them. because what the game really needed was another way to reward being a complete shithead. if they removed the penalty system altogether i might give it another try. except probably not because everyone who wants to play it properly and race have already sworn it off and are not coming back. even by the time i stopped they'd mostly all left, i imagine 85% of the people left playing now are kids who just play it because it's on gamepass. the driving standards online in this game are so unbelievably worse than every other forza game, and yeah, just consider THAT statement for a minute. they also haven't addressed or seemingly acknowledged 90% of the problems with the game. they fixed the braindead idea of unlocking parts through leveling up so that's nice, but it doesn't actually fix the game or come anywhere close to it. i still cannot fathom how a game this devoid of content took over three times longer to make than any other entry in the series. just, gently caress man.

Was thinking about it, I've got a bunch of Fanatec and Logitech wheels laying around the place but what I really want to do is get the MS Wireless Wheel out of the closet and play Forza 2-4 on my Xbox 360. So easy to just throw that thing on your lap and jump into a session and drive instead of having to arrange the wheelstand and pedals and gearshift and connect via wires across the floor etc etc and then not have the tracks I want to drive anyway, even if the graphics are 15% better. Wild that people are still doing reviews of that wheel, it's too bad Microsoft discontinued it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igiKFMOYKTw

I had that wheel and was really disappointed. Notchy as hell, had a super limited rotation, and was notorious for losing its center. The lap thing was neat, I guess, but I'd much rather get out the lawn chair and strap it to Big Chungus:

Still playing Motorsport, but only when new events show up each Wednesday night in the career mode. The online is still not worth playing because of the way the penalty system works.

The lap thing was neat, I guess, but I'd much rather get out the lawn chair and strap it to Big Chungus: Some of them were broken from the factory. It was not a very well built device, but what do you expect for $130 - and the range of experiences I had with the 7 or 8 of them I had over a couple years made me realize that it was pretty hit or miss whether you loved this product or hated it. I got the Best Buy return policy, so when mine would start to break down I'd just go exchange it for a new one, but recall having to take back some that were poo poo straight out of the box at least 2-3 times. The Fanatec rigs I've got are definitely miles better. But it's also an extra 3-5 minutes of lugging the 60 pounds of stand & wheelbase & gearshift & clubsport pedals out, setting it up, sitting down, readjusting it to the couch perfectly, getting back up to figure out why the gearshift isn't working, and THEN you can start to try to play - that extra delay results in me using it less than I did with the easy-to-go MS WW. Someday I'll have a whole permanent set of sim rigs but not while I'm living in the city.

I don’t own the limo but I’m definitely interested in it now. Anything that makes the trial fun is worth it. I’ve been working my way through accolades that reward cars, I thought the “post a clean rivals time in the top 5% in each class” would be really tough given the games out for a while, I’m not a great racer, and I sometimes use the wall as turn assist. However most of them have been possible just by putting down a clean lap in a good car, the two hardest being S2 (hard to keep clean) and D (trial and errored a few cars based on stats before getting fast enough).

Limo was fun for the trial but we didn’t win because teammates fighting each other, so I ended up doing it again in a Jeep Trailcat - I’m not the best racer but that thing is so loving quick it makes up for it. It was quick and slippery in the corners but long drifting turns on dirt are fine and the top end was where it really got going, I didn’t even have to worry about battles for position because I was around them before they even thought about slamming into me. Best bit is I got this Jeep as a barn gift, already tuned with an iffy Halo paintjob. Unrelated car that I’ve just started driving: Aston Martin Vantage GT12 with the offroad/rally tyre gimmick to drop it to A class. It’s very quick, maybe not the quickest in A class but it also sticks around corners and is just a delight to drive - it’s the first AM I’ve raced by choice; the Valkyrie AMR Pro looks amazing but it’s too twitchy for me to enjoy. Bonus points for the engine sound, it’s very big and very tough. I can imagine the rumble in my chest when it revs.
