Forza pulling number 36 on the NeoGAF Game of the Year list. I think I had expected it to be higher, but nonetheless, not bad in a year full of awesome games.

So, Turn 10 continue their history of trolling us with forthcoming 'big' announcements that eventually turn out to be totally underwhelming.

Have they got ANY idea what the fans really want?

I fear for FM5, I really do.

This is just a proper release for cars already available to some people (making the LCE even more worthless than it already was in the process).

Yeah stickers, a steelbook case, a book full of errors rehashing the Clarkson Autovista parts and VIP status. In other word, the worst Forza LCE to date.

I just don't understand how it ended up like that after the awesome FM3 LCE and also because they did a survey about the LCE before release and I seriously doubt that the LCE we got was the outcome of it unless those surveys were for FM5...

FM is one of the only game I buy full price and in LCE each time because I know that until the next one I'll play the shit out of the game. For the first time though, I was disappointed with the LCE. I guess I got used to the increasing awesomeness that each LCE had given us over the years. :-/

Go ahead and put me down for the races. There's a chance I might not be able to do it, though. Going through some weird health problem with my thyroid and the doctor is advising me to not get too worked up about anything until they figure out exactly what it is, which will hopefully be in the next few days, but no guarantee. Needless to say, racing is a pretty stressful activity so I need to be careful.

I'm surprised the LE sold out considering how little it actually gets you. You have to imagine that most people saw it as being a fairly pointless LE (from a LE/CE standpoint).

Snack just returned the 330 P4 to me as well as a Ferrari Enzo; thank you sir!

The 330 is mine however the Enzo is not. So either DasRaven or Ivy don't have their Enzo, so let me know who doesnt have it (or who does) and I'll send it that way.


Seanspeed sorry to hear that you have to take some time off Forza. Hopefully everything works itself out before Sunday!

I have a question about GAF races (and multiplayer in general). Is there any restriction on assists? When you create a lobby do you have to restrict which can be used or can each user race however he wants? I'm saying this because I prefer to focus on the racing itself so I use Automatic transmission for example (at a cost of not being as fast as others). I'm considering racing or putting myself up on the list because you just seem like an awesome bunch to race against and I do miss racing online like in Toca Driver 3, Grid, etc. I'm well aware of racing guidelines and how to proceed like a gentleman, if I risk a move and feel like I abused the other driver or unintentionally caused contact I re-give them my place, etc. I just want to race but I don't think I can do it with manual :D

Don't worry man, I am terrible. I have had zero time to really test or practice lately, so I am usually running by myself in last. At least we have interesting conversations!

Edit: You know, after looking at that new DLC, I am not sure why everyone was complaining about the LE being worthless now? It doesn't have any of the cars from the LE, only those from the "Day One" pack. So the Veyron SS and such are still only available to those who have the LE.

Sorry, it's more the VIP + Season Pass.

If you pre-ordered you got the 5-car launch pack.
If you bought/picked up the game on/around launch day you may have received one of five store specific pre-order cars.

You got the muscle cars if you got VIP.
You got the muscle cars if you got the Season Pass.
You got the muscle cars and were promised 250,000 Cr if you got both.

250,000 Cr have never shown up, and it's not worth the real money that the muscle cars are.

I just think the VIP owners with a Season Pass should get the 4-5 pre-order cars they don't already have.

Agree 1000x on this. I bought both the FM4 LCE and what, $25 for that Season Pass? The discount over time on the car packs is cool, but it sucks that I got repeat cars. And that supposed 250,000 CR has disappearing into the wind at this point.

Allow me to get the pre-order cars for free or send me all the unicorns. Something worth all the real-world money I am depositing into the game.

I spent around $120 on Forza 3. $80 LCE + all the DLC that came out for it.

Well the past couple weeks I haven't been showing up cuz its playoffs. This thyroid thing is something new I had happen on Monday. And I dont necessarily need to take time off of Forza overall, but doing long, competitive races really gets my heart going and I cant have that right now. Hopefully I'll be feeling better by Sunday so I can race.

I've always found that I improve much more when I race with others. You get to see how others drive and I get much more competitive when I'm challenged with beating somebody else on-track rather than just beating my own laptime. You cant just have throwaway laps here and there, you've gotta be on-point the whole time. You learn to deal with pressure and to be more consistent.

And of course, you learn how to race with others better, as well. I think a good percentage of crashes happen not because somebody is stupid or doing it on purpose, but because they simply lack the experience and skill to know how to handle the situation effectively, whether overtaking or trying to stop from being overtaken.

Also, to go along with the video Short posted about racing etiquette, which was kinda bare-bones, here's a video that goes a bit more in-depth with how to deal with specific situations. Its well worth watching. He says that people might not agree with some of it, but I can attest that he's spot-on with pretty much everything. Just a warning: the guy is Dutch, so his accent is terrible:

basically for me, I use sim steering, manual with clutch, and in car. As for abs its always on, tcs is off for lower horsepower cars/ awd cars, and is on for higher powered rear wheel drives. Cant imagine racing every car without abs and tcs, since some truly need it to actually keep the damn things on the road lol

My cornering speed is down on most of the other drivers and my braking distances are longer (maintaining stability under hard braking can be tricky especially around the unpredictable opponents) and a single collision is usually enough to end the race for me.

Cockpit view is a bit restrictive, especially as I narrowed the FoV but I've just assigned buttons to look left and right, that might help a bit.

Yeah, some of the cars are a bitch to handle but I like it in a way.

You've got to realize that a lot of people online are just very good drivers. A good percentage of them likely aren't using assists either(I dont). Somebody might be faster than you through the corner cuz they've set themselves up for it better and are taking the optimal line. You'd be surprised how much quicker you can go if you take a corner absolutely perfectly using the whole width of the track.

It could also partly be your machinery. People that go online a lot tend to have good cars and setups.

As far as cockpit view goes, I tend to use it mostly offline. Using hood or bumper view allows me to drive much cleaner when I'm around others. Many of the rear and side-view mirrors are very hard to see out of, and thats something thats pretty important.

Yeah you are right and I don't doubt there's a lot of people on there who are faster and better than me, I'm starting to hang back a bit and wait for others to fuck up rather than make a move now, it's working well enough at the moment.

I tend to race with all assists off ( clutch stays on tho), and cockpit view as often as I can (some of the R1 cars suck to drive in the cockpit).

The only time TCS really comes on is when I'm racing R1 and every now and then R2.

It's funny you bring this up but the other night (admittedly after playing for a good 7 hours), I found myself going a little less aggressively into corners (read: not slamming on the brakes), and trying various lines. After a while of driving a little more cautiously and trying to find the lines I started to push myself through the lines. Eventually I ended up getting a lot faster times and was linking the smooth corners together. Just gave the whole racing experience this fast and buttery smooth feeling that was really enjoyable.

Yep, it's a fun thing when you start to re-think some of the things you've been doing and realize you might just be breaking out of a plateau you were in, so to speak. I tend to want to break pretty early and smoothly, and set up the exit from the corner very deliberately. Off and on the gas just once, getting a good run out of the corner. It can be a challenge to hold to that method online with other people close around you, as they often will want to go faster into the corner, but that's just part of the challenge of dealing with things online that Seanspeed mentioned.

If you and anyone else fancies a few private races with assists off/manual/cockpits my gamtertag is in my profile, I tried hosting a public lobby earlier but the few people that joined soon vanished when they couldn't change the view.

I play most evenings between 9pm and 12am GMT.

Thank you. I like F4's OST, but F3 is just about unbeatable. I only have the game for 3 days now, maybe it'll grow up on me. I should just import F3's OST, play it in F4 andswitch tracks and stop/play on the 360 remote controller.

If you and anyone else fancies a few private races with assists off/manual/cockpits my gamtertag is in my profile, I tried hosting a public lobby earlier but the few people that joined soon vanished when they couldn't change the view.

I play most evenings between 9pm and 12am GMT.

I usually have class around that time but I will add you and try and race when I'm on.
