Forza Horizon 3 |OT| uozoH zo

If anyone is looking for a good place to grind skill points during a Skill Song, I found an amazing place.

Just North of Maroondah Rainforest is a place where there are a bunch of small trees in a field, like a tree farm.

You can drift around and mow down the trees at the same time and it gives you huge drift/destruction multipliers. There is no traffic or anything to hit, so you don't have to worry about fuckin up your chain.

I can easily get over 300k chains in under a minute, especially with the Skill Song on.

Also, Timeless is the best station to listen to for Skill songs. Because of how long classical songs are, you can get MUCH more time during a skill song. The last one I got was over 20 minutes long.

The classical station is the best. Had a skill song pop up and it was almost 10 minutes long!

Lol,exactly!

VIP membership seems to be working for me (PC). I'm getting double the spins and the cars say 'Purchased',

So are cars like the Ultima only available to VIPs, or are they simply free for VIPs?
 
I was playing Forza Horizon 1 for a bit while 3 installed, surprisingly holds up well on my Samsung JS9000.

Though after playing it for a bit and then loading up 3 when it was ready was jaw dropping. This game is amazing.
 
you guys paid $40 to play the game early and now you're giving them $6 more to unlock stuff for you?

i mean, glass houses and everything.. but.. 🤔

Just wanted to report there is no force feedback with Fanatec wheels and almost no force feedback with logitech wheels on PC. If you own one of these wheels and want to use it with FH3, I suggest you wait until there is a fix.

PC here. I lost my first reward car due to a CTD. Expanded the first festival, and then a crash. Loaded the game back up and the car I selected wasn't in my garage, nor was I given the option to select a car again (I hadn't yet saved it to the garage). Bummed!

Great game, but that with the Ultimate issues on PC are causing light frustration.
 
I was playing this morning, now I'm trying to play again and I'm at the installing screen. It's been sitting at 80% for about 20 mins, is this normal?
 
Groove Music isn't working for me. It says there is a playback error and to check network connection on both XB1 and Win10. Has anyone had this issue and fixed it?

This game is so goddamn pretty !

Even though I use a wheel, I need to play in chase cam to take in the graphics they are that good.

Beautiful game. Almost every aspect seems to have been improved from FH2, which was already great.

I haven´t played a lot yet, but...
-I like this new, less linear event structure. As legendary as FH2 is, completing every championship became almost a grind if you wanted the ultimate achievement. FH3 brings a very welcome customization to the main activities.

-The physics feel relatively "heavier" than in FH3. The map´s topography (very uneven terrain, large open spaces, water) and the availability of some extreme vehicles (like the One:1) allow some previously unavailable experimentation with this physics engine.

God, I hate it, the game is borderline unplayable.

Driving on the wrong side of the road will take some getting used to!

This is porn.

Holy shit.
 
Holy shit,

the Nissan drift challenge in the city (#3) is so hard, what the hell am I doing wrong?!

Make sure you're using your e-brake? The drift challenge with the GTR right? That one was pretty easy, just spam e-break and make as many turns as you can.

Oh gee I'm so shocked. Amazon used a bubble mailer for yet another limited edition game, and the case is all dented. Game is fine, thank goodness. :/

Ahhh I thought I was crazy for a minute w/ the FFB on my G29...Hopefully they add ways to customize feedback. I really dig how GT5/6 handeled wheel support.

Also, wonder when they're gonna support H pattern shifters? It feels weird as shit trying to paddle shift when they are attached to the wheel and not stationary.

Still haven't heard back from Microsoft CS about my request I made last night to cancel my Deluxe Pre-order to buy the Ultimate instead...

They better fix their shit today... I want to play the game tonight.

Man this is so awesome!

I just paid to unlock all the custom horn sounds lol as they were only a couple of quid. #partoftheproblem

Of course I am rolling with La Cucaracha for now!

Oh man, you can do that with the skill perks about four hours in!

Future Classic is a great station, it reminds me of the French label, FComm

Well if I knew that I wouldn't have bought them. I thought you might just unlock the odd one here and there every so often.

Oh well!
