[Falchion]

Put a few hours into it today and I've got to say it's an absolute blast. I love the variety in landscapes and it's just such a tight and rewarding experience.

 

[Noobcraft]

Suspension is so good, it's like riding on air.

The next generation run flat tires. That or it's meant to be a new caravan train for top gear.

How do i get to where i can add cosmetic things to my car? I hit B during the tutorial and it took me completely out of everything.

 

[Cyanity]

I downloaded a tune that apparently doesn't come with tires? What lol.

If you pause the game and go to the auto show, there's an "upgrades" tab next to your garage.

 

[Grazzt]

The tuner turned it into a flying car.

 

[Horseticuffs]

So even with assists turned on and difficulty way down, I'm still slipping and sliding all over the track. I'm treating this as an arcade racer but maybe there's SOMETHING I can upgrade or tweak to give me much better handling?

What type of car am I looking at? I like muscle cars but I want something that really sticks to the road.

Where we're going, we don't need roads.

Lmao. Damn it I went into the autoshow to check out the name of the tune because I wanted to post it here but when I came out my tires were back. I guess it wasn't the tune that did it, it was just a random glitch.

Are you tapping the brakes repeatedly when going into turns, or just slamming on them and hoping for the best? (You should be doing the former)

I cant get to the autoshow, it's greyd out

 

[Menitta]

I'm surprised I like a sim racer this much. I think it's because it's open world. I spent about 30 minutes just driving and listening to a podcast. It's so fun!

Probably because it's more of an arcade racer than a "sim".

 

[Jailer of Hope]

Is there a way to set blueprint events to specific class ratings (E, D, C, B, etc.)? I'm trying to do races with a D class car and one person on my friends list keeps popping up in a C class car. It's totally ruining my series.

Yeah. Usually right after you pick type restrictions it let's pick class restrictions. You can also set them in the same blue print settings where lap count, weather, time etc are.

This baby will win all the drift challenges.

 

[fenners]

And it's worth noting that muscle cars tend to be "slidey" in these kind of racers to a degree.

 

[M.W.]

Damn, how long is this game? I don't know my actual game time but it says I'm at 2% completion. Da fuck...

I've had to play for at least 10 hours.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Isn't that only when you're doing it online?

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

Isn't that only when you're doing it online?

No you can do it in solo. I've been using the blueprint fot goliath.

 

[rrs]

So I see that the Jaguar XJ220 is on the game's car list...but how do I get it? Couldn't find it for sale in the auction house. Am I being dumb?

Nice fast A class car that can kinda take turns

 

[dedhead54]

I'm at 29 hours and i am 30%. Just did the last showcase and my map is full of shit and I haven't even fully upgraded every festival site.

10 million fans unlocks the final showcase. The amount of fans you get accelerates later in the game, usually getting 150,000 fans an event. Your progress percentage also accelerates in time with the bigger fan payouts. I mainlined and finished in about 15 hours I think.

Finished the tutorial?

That's because it's more arcade than it is sim. :lol Game is an absolute blast.

Oh I suppose? I've mostly just played co-op so I'm not too sure.

 

[The Bad Guy]

Having issues connecting to any online game modes on the PC version of the game. It finds a game and says its joining but then never end up joining after.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

 

[Brandon F]

I wish there was more fun stuff to unlock in the skill shop.

I'm only like level 30 and feel I am already out of useful stuff to buy having barely moved far up any of the trees. Whatever I guess, you people are insane with all those points to spend.

Have a look at the Network DIagnostics tab on the Xbox App.

 

[louiedog]

I bought the perk that lets you spend credits on wheel spins. I wanted to see how much it cost so I bought one when I leveled up.

That extra spin was definitely worth 50k.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

anyone else having online issues? i keep getting connection failed even though xbox says im good to go. Gears of war wont even load to the main screen.

 

[Derp]

I've checked the tunes uploaded by the community and some of them have reached performance numbers that I can't possiblt attain with the stuff I have now. I'm assuming I need to unlock newer upgrades? How do I do that?

Umm, it's completely arcade though.

Have you tried the conversion section? Usually the engine, drivetrain and aspiration swaps can push cars to a much higher level. This is especially true when you can do all 3 on a particular car.

 

[Noobcraft]

Burnout is completely arcade. Horizon is Simcade as it requires an approximation of real driving to do well. It's definitely arcadey, but it's not an arcade racer in the same way NFS or Burnout are.

 

[Bog]

What's the song that sounds like some girl singing "chitty bang bang" over and over?

 

[Memles]

This is the most time I've put into a non-Mario Kart driving game since...gosh, probably one of the Burnouts, although even then I don't think I ever owned one of them. There was a free copy of Forza 5 that came with my console bundle, but I got frustrated with it pretty quickly, and didn't really have any real incentive to dig further into it. But I decided to jump on the Target Price Error, and have been really have a blast with this—I still have no real sense of how to dive into the different customization options, really, but the combination of basic exploration and the variety of different tasks to complete has created an incentive that wasn't there with just races.

And while I started at the lowest difficulty mode that wasn't "auto everything," believing myself to be bad at racing games, it has gradually forced me up two levels. I think where they have me will be a bit more of a challenge, requiring more restarts and rewinds, but I suppose it's worth it for the sense of satisfaction at knowing I'm not as bad at the genre as I purported to be.

Keep an eye out for crocodiles! http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/CarringtonTV/video/22017966

Had a Skill Song start on the classical Timeless station last night - almost 11 minutes long. Racked up more than a few points, on that.

Hopping on to try out the online racing tonight. Hope the Club tools are a bit better for finding team-mates that than FH2 was.

had a 23 min one, myself

[TheKeyPit]

We are at 900ish people in the car club. Was going to lock up the club on Friday, but might do it earlier then that now. After we lock the car club, it will be invite only. The spreadsheet only has 360 people on it. I figure there is a lot of folks who joined that are not GAFers. Especially considering how many messages I've got about where to find the OT or what is an OT, etc. So if you are in the car club and not on the spreadsheet, do yourself a favour and add yourself to it. I'll be kicking people who are both inactive and not on the list. Not everyone, want to keep about 100 free slots for people that come to the game a little later.

Need a link to the spreadsheet? Quote this post.

[AusRoachman]

Amazing work

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

Beautiful

 

[Methamatics101]

Fucking hell, Sunhi. That's beautiful. I have nearly played the game for over 40 hours and your GIFs still amaze me.

 

[rakanishu]

How in the world did you get so many points?!? I mean sure over time just playing you would get them but is there some sort of best way to go about it?

I didn't farm them in any way. I've just been playing the game, but I guess my driving style gets me a lot of points.

 

[BIGT468]

More great times tonight racing with the gang. Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun.

I'm a little late but had a great time online saturday and looking forward to the next time.

 

[Makikou]

Looking forward to playing with ForzaGAF some day.. Added myself to the spreadsheet

 

[Lunar FC]

Literally have spent 30 mins looking for this barn with like a convoy of 10. Stupid.

 

[digitaldevmike]

I don't think I've had this much fun with a racing game since I picked up the Need for Speed trilogy on PC back in middle school. Blew my whole weekend on it.

 

[SillySinStorm]

If any of you are online when i jump on i'll join you. I've no mic at the moment so apologies in advance for lack of chat.

 

[123rl]

I'm new to the game. Is there a GAF group to join? I read a couple of comments as I skimmed through this thread but is it still active or has another one replaced it?
