Any Forza Horizon players here yet?

Yes, I am an Iracer, it's wonderful.

Hey, are you guys playing with difficulties turned on? I set the difficulty +55%. So don't be p*ssies by playing on easy!

But so far, I'm not good at this game...much better at real life racing. lol

I play with all assists turned off. Steering on 'simulation', no TCS or ABS, manual shifting with clutch. For very few cars I turn on TCS temporarily (I know there's a Saleen car that's pretty much impossible to drive without TCS for example).

I'm finding that basically a lot of the real-life-racing applies to the game and vice versa. Racing line, hard brake in straight line only, no excessive gas or braking while cornering, etc. If you follow the same approach you use on the track you should do well in this game.

The only extra 'challenge' is idiots that use YOU as their main method of braking when approaching corners. That's very much UNLIKE real life, and very annoying.

For my fellow 2012ers out there. The new Need for Speed Most Wanted has our 2012 BOSS unlike FORZA (as far as I know).

And here's the NFS commercial that I saw watching MNF last night. Features the Focus ST and lots of Ford products.

Cool - the first NFS Most Wanted was a great game.

You buy it. It's in the first DLC pack. Go to Marketplace and you'll find it!

I also just beat RPM3D INC in some rival challenges. Suppose I need to get cracking with the practice. I also picked up NFS:MW so I have both if anyone is interested. I know I'll be up at odd hours for you guys, but we can make it work.

Welcome to Colorado, Forza Horizon players!

Now you know why we love to drive here.

 

[TheMarco]

Wow... just wow. I just spent a long time to narrowly beat RPM3D INC in the Dodge Brawl.
It makes me wonder:

Is a Dodge Challenger SRT this CRAP in real life? In the game, the Boss drives really well ( like in the real world ). The Dodge certainly does not. It handles like a boat. Horrible.

Is it like this in real life?

Just got the boss in NFS. When you go through the repair shops it changes the body color to be accurate for the car.
The yellow blaze really does look correct with metallic pearl highlights.

Love the way it sounds when on that bridge! And I guess I'll just have to drive it through the repair shops to get it the best color, CO!

 

[Sesshomurai]

Yeah, its kind of re*arded how they made this NFS. To get the color I want, I had to put it in reverse and drive forward 4 times through those repair shops.
I mean, that's just ridiculous.

 

[Boostd4]

TheMarco is definitely making me step up my game...great driving sir!

Well I had been doing the Halo 4 thing and Forza and I finally went and got the Boss in MW. THERE'S NO CO!!!!!! WTF!?!?! ???

 

[TheMarco]

I'm currently caught up in that Halo 4 thing as well (trying to beat the campaign at Heroic, which isn't easy for me) but... I'll be back at Horizon soon!

 

[ufnavy06]

Sometimes it's good to get a break from Halo lol.

 

[dean_acheson]

I'll be adding you guys in next time I get on. It will be a friend request from "Boss 302 70"
