Just won my first rivals thingy. It seemed hopeless at first, as the other driver was just a lot smoother than me and pulled ahead after every corner. I have no idea about tuning cars, but I tried upping the tyre pressure some and instantly gained 3 seconds and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I know tuning is a big part of the game and I suppose it's only right that they're included in challenges like these, but it felt like cheating as I sure as hell didn't win because I drove better.

Nope, sorry, I missed the BoobPhysics101 class.

Played a couple more hours tonight. There is so much to do, and I want to do it all.
I also beat a few club members' times in Rivals. Game of the forever right here.

I greatly prefer the world tour mode over Forza 3's season career. You get more options, you aren't grinding through one major series. There's just a lot more diversity.
I see that my Falcon GT has been getting quite a bit of use, glad you guys are enjoying it! The ride that I'm enjoying the most currently is the 22B STi that I won, just a fantastic smooth car. Fantastic boxer note to. Also am enjoying the '91 M3 and the Escort RS. I enjoy these '90s coupe's a lot when I'm taking a break from hearing some screaming V8s. The Hemi Dart sounds fucking insane and as far as I can tell, has a unique note compared to the rest of my muscle cars.

Best class ever.
I think it would be funny though if you could fine-tune the AI behavior and maybe set up an 'asshole' behavior flag that'd cause them to actually brake-check you on purpose and try to PIT maneuver the fuck out of everyone.
Being able to do custom games with psychotic AI would be amazing.
I've been beasting the RPC and first TG track one. Happy with my results on there, will jump on the Nurb ones once I actually accomplish something other than gaming todayIzayoi said:
Have to say, though, I'm really surprised that I've barely touched the world tour and have spent almost all my time exclusively in Rivals mode. It's amazing.
That's no guarantee. There were, what, four title updates for FM3? They could easily (and inexplicably) refuse to touch that bug, refuse to talk about it, and they'll still have millions of people there on day 1 for Forza 5.Iknos said:
Simply put, the existence of other bugs doesn't do much for the case of this bug necessarily getting fixed. No, there's no logical reason for them to do this, especially since they had to specifically CODE IN the correction that people are asking them to remove, but game developers (and the publishers that control them) do irrational and stupid things all the goddamn time.
Love to see it fixed, but I'm considering it a pleasant surprise if it happens.

Had some great races tonight with CrudeDiatribe and co. Multiclass is the shit.
The race on Maple Valley was ridiculous. I was doing well enough until I smashed my lovely McLaren into Slayer's MR2 on the final lap-- sorry again for that, man!
Stig/British Meat, at the pace my heap was going, if your 037 hadn't acted as a source of propulsion, I might not have made it across the line in time. :lol

Hey Shortt Sirket! Hockenheim. Open Time Attack AWD. Subaru 22B.
Your time: 1:17.795
My time in the same car: 1:17.197
Come at me bro.
Also, Rivals mode is a fantastic way to make some quick cash. Awesome 50K credits for improving a tenth to beat a rival. Plus, I feel like the hotlapping is making me a better driver.

How do I keep hotlapping in Rivals mode? After I beat someone's time, I usually just hit 'finish.'
The subtle tunnel vision when you get to super high speeds is really well done. The sense of speed in this game is phenomenal.
Also, I want to upload my photos, bring the servers back up!
Or maybe it's A.
It says on the prompt.

That's too bad, it was an absolute blast. "Invite club" is fantastic. Club GAF is so big that XBL gave me errors before everyone got an invite (clearly some did as they ended up joining).
Oh, and in reference to the conversation about Hummers and their appropriate body kits, here's the Hummer that one of my friends made for Redline (Mac shareware game from '06):
C'mon, Jube, make that bumper happen.

It is X, but there is a problem with this. No matter the times you set after, it will only record your time when you beat your rival. So you could get an amazing time 3 laps later, but it will only record the one where you beat your Rival.
At least that is what mine has been doing. Plus if you accept and exit out, you can keep earning Bounty as you move up.
Does anyone know if it's possible to take a bigshot and save it locally with no network connection, then just upload it later? Don't want to take one only to have it tell me two minutes in that it can't talk to the server.
Need to get me some dat bounty.
Yeah. I've actually found myself botching a perfect lap at the last second just so I don't move too far up the leaderboards.Shortt Sirket said:

"Not possible in the retail version of the game."
Why the fuck not? The backgrounds are just HDR images, right? Some of the pre-release media seemed to hint at changeable Autovista locales, so I wonder if this is something Turn 10 could possibly patch in.

We had some fun racing today lol (with crudediatribe and company), I couldn't handle the MR2 that someone put in the garage in our races.
I was a bit laggy too because I was using the slims wifi and my N router, I hooked up my 360 wired now, will kick ass later today guys!
Btw do that rivals monthly community thing on the nurb track (2nd to last). Shit is fun, I'm taking my veyron to the top lilttle by little.
This game is so fun man, that guy in the number one spot is nuts with that F40 fuck. 1:57.xx I think
Oh and shaneus I really JUST started to focus on rivals. I haven't done many challenges yet but I'll be focusing on the one I mentioned til I break current top 30 clean then I'll do something else, I've been playing with the controller. Playing with the wheel is a bit difficult, I gotta get past the learning curve.

I need a wheel, guys.
My Forza should be coming next week, but I don't feel like using a controller. What's a decent wheel sub 100?

I love how the Top Speed Challenge event has a picture of the Bugatti Veyron SS and yet it is an R3 event. The Veyron SS starts at R2 and is completely ineligible for an event for which it is the cover car.
