Oh come on, that's it? What happened? How'd it go? Who did the Canadian Mafia fuck this time? Is SarBear still alive?
Canadian Mafia came packing gallons of maple syrup! No one was safe. I came in last almost every race.
We ended up doing 4 road trips in 2 hours. I sent negative feedback to pretty much everyone in the room, so like I said it was a huge success. Probably won't be that long next week.

Damn! Glad it went well and you guys had a good turnout. Unless something crazy happens, I am there for this next Sunday!

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Not sure they need two 1st party racing game studios. PG is an excellent studio though, worth every penny.
Added you from Flunkie44.
Aren't they already¿

I'll try to be there, but I probably won't know if I can until last minute.

Hopefully I can make it this week too!
No, they're a completely independent studio
Sounds good to me. I have a buddy who wants to get in on the fun also.
OK got back early. I'll set up the lobby now and start sending out invites.
Edit: Thanks for coming out fellas. Had a blast racing around with everyone. Team races are so much fun. I really like P3trans suggestion of doing a split game next weekend. Start in Forza 5 and finish in Horizon 2. What are your thoughts on that?

Don't care for Forza 5 but god damn is Forza Horizon 2 so addicting and fun. Make sure to contribute to the photo thread! So many new players and not many new shots come in! There are so many great shots, but I'm sure people can do better
.Sounds good to me, I know my buddy had a blast it was his first time playing horizon online.

Sure. I'm OK with splitting time.
There is a GAF car club. You can post your details there and look up the spreadsheet with everyones GT to add to your friends list. If you want to join, just send me a message on live and I'll send over a club invite. GT: zorbs

Hiiiii guys
I'm new to the franchise and genre :> This is my first... car title I've ever got!
This game is so pretty *____*
I'm noob (and a girl) so please bear with me as I discover Forza better... .____.
My favourite car so far is the Huracan and the X-Bow (Track Toy)
... I love spinning the wheel (it was how I got the X-Bow and the RUF)
:>
I'm currently trying to switch over from Auto to Manual steering and it's doing my head in haha ... I love the Castelleto area, the sea view is amazing *_____*

I usually don't buy racing games because I either get bored of them or bad at them, but this game is soo much fun. If it was going to be your first car title you made the right choice.

I am so bad at racing games!! haha~ I had to ... uh adjust the difficulty setting to New Driver at first, and now slowly pushing the difficulty setting back up .____.
I'm only at "Average" setting now.
but... yessssssssss, you are so right, it is so much fun *____* They managed to make a car game appealing to me, which is so weird, but it's true. I am officially addicted! Haha~

Sorry I missed the races on Sunday my addiction to CK2 did me in probably played 16 hours since Saturday by the time race time rolled around and then I had a migraine and I wanted to shoot myself.
Welcometasty primates new people!
Just remember that you don't always have to push the stick all the way left or right; it seems to catch most of the new people I have try the game at my house.

OK so i put the manual gear shifting on the right thumb stick and it helps a lot, but I'm still not finding the right .. rhythm for speeding up and down around corners :x
Am I supposed to gear down before entering a sharp corner or during it?
I'm driving the rare classic Jaguar car right now. It's clunky, but pretty.
I also bought myself the Veneno last night *_______* and test drove it... It handled like a dream *_______*
aaaa

I think that you should be done downshifting prior to entering the turn.
Something else that might help is to focus on doing one thing at a time. Downshift and then break, for instance. Don't try to do everything once.
I've never used the right analog stick for shifting. Have you tried X (downshift), A (clutch), and B (upshift)?

We definitely have one. Blame Canadians, Greeks, and especially Greek-Canadians.
As a general rule, always slow down (brake) before the corner, then turn in and accelerate out of the corner. Shift gears in support of this. If you are in the wrong gear you won't accelerate as well as you should (the revs will be low and it won't feel quick, try downshifting).
Downshift under braking (unless it's really subtle braking). If you need to downshift and don't, the engine will stall. If you downshift too far, the engine will over-rev and you will hear it. If you need to upshift, the engine will bounce off the rev limiter and you'll hear it.
I think worrying about when to shift is more important than adding a superfluous button (the clutch).
But yes, putting clutch on A is the correct thing to do, along with heel-toeing when downshifting.

No I havent tried that set-up! Cuz I thought I should give this set-up a good go before I change my mind again :>
..........hehehehe im so guilty about doing everything at once :> you're so spot on.... >/////<
I will try to do one thing at a time ! o7
Thank ye for advice <33333333 Im really, really enjoying this game more than I should :x
I should be writing my NaNo last night but nooooooooooo Forza said otherwise! :x
oyo... maybe i should change my set-up again tonight .... wah~
driving on manual is so different than driving on auto :< it was so breezy before. just the right trigger to accelerate and the other trigger to reverse :< manual is like learning how to juggle :x
(but im enjoying the game so much so i wanna learn how to play it properly and be a better forza gamer !!!)
thanks thanks for tips <3 really appreciate yo! this is my first driving game and i absolutely have nooooooooooooo clues how to do anything properly haha <3
Ice cold dude. lol
Glad to see some new folks in here. Send me a message on live and I'll send over an invite to the club.
Also, I had some free time while my daughter had her nap today so I made a new header for our race weekend.
Everyone is welcome to join us. We don't take the racing too seriously. We all vary in skill level. Sundays 2pm EST is when we race. The session usually last about 2 hours. This week we will be splitting the session up between Forza 5 and Horizon 2. Let me know here if you want in so I know who to send invites to.

Use the of the clutch is seamless in that setup.

I agree (I've used it since Forza 3), but it's still something else to learn; the boost in performance is marginal compared to timing.
Speaking of Forza 3, is Camino Viejo in FM5 yet, Zorbs?
Fucking next-gen

I feel like if you're going to climb that hill (from automatic to manual), then you might as well go all the way.
I'm not an expert clutch user, but that's what I did, and I don't regret it.
YesNOnoNOYes
Member
:>
I will try to use that setup if both of you are using it <3
then I will cry and go back to auto ;___;
maybe XD
why is this game so fun :x
CrudeDiatribe
Member
Regret would be a strong emotion for this, wouldn't it? I more associate it with these
To upshift: release RT, hold A, press B, release A, grab RT*
To downshift: hold A, press X and squeeze RT briefly, release A
They're just rolling motions with your right hand, recreating the foot and hand-work in a real car, like so.
It's car-game nerdery just below buying an actual wheel and a funny chair and brown loafers. By all means do it if you want to.

How active is the Forza Horizon 2 community on GAF and just the playerbase in general?
I play almost every single day, and I've never had to wait for more than 30 seconds to get into a game.
