forza horizon Forza Horizon: An Open World Forza!!

[Baldy]

Better than nothing.

That sounds so disheartened. I'm sorry, love you really ♥

[Eudemon]

:bathtub: later?

[iNotACactus]

I'll be waiting. :nuts:

[Baldy]

yes :bathtub: then :trysleep:

[T0M722]

Finally finished :)

 

The ending was pretty quick and simple. I was hoping for more cheesy cut scenes and mass amounts of anger from Darius. Kind of like a NFS storyline. I wish it had more of a storyline.

 

Anyway, its a great game.

[Eudemon]

I found it funny that you could race Darius in the final Showdown before completing all the races that he's in so in effect you could beat him then he would be spouting his usual "I'm the best" mocks at you even though you have BEAT him. lol

I know other games with a story featuring one main bad guy had the same problem though. Can't recall them yet though.

 

 

FH had the added problem where you could reach #1 popularity before getting to the end

[Eudemon]

Yeah an hour or so on the Golf course would do that no problem or hitting the "Going Postal" postboxes for a good while would too. I never experienced that though as I played the game through, completing all the colour banded races and such before proceeding to the next one. Bloody annoying though being told to go and collect 'X' band from 'Race Central' though when I've still got about 6 or 7 events to do still.

 

I really enjoyed the Street Races though, they were my favourite.

[Ryzza5]

Yeah they were a bit harder and longer which was good. I played most of career mode with the score HUD item turned off so I focused more on proper driving rather than building a score chain multiplier

[Eudemon]

All you loyal Season Pass holders, you will be happy to know that you appear to be getting the 2003 SVT Focus as your bonus car for this month. :wdd:

[TIMELESS]

This jealousy is unbareable. Seriously.

Going to get slanted for this but oh well, Horizon was a bit of a let down for me...there I said it.

 

Was good at first but nothing is shouting for me to play it. No road is twisty & challenging enough for my liking, every road is wide enough for the QE2 to sail down, the 'dirt tracks' included. Talking of Dirt tracks, they just felt like normal roads but brown and had trees along the side of them. Car's never felt like they changed surface on them eather really. And the sense of exploring ended quickly. Most roads driven within a few days. on TDU I've never driven on every road, I liked that fact I'd go "I'll find out where this go's!", doing that I found some nice gems such as the Japanese Buildings and great roads!

Also the online made me not bother racing offline! Same problem as Forza 4 for me...why play offline when online gives me more cash even if I don't win and the races are more exciting? Thing I like about games is for me to have something to aspire to...a few races online & I had enough cash to get most cars I wanted, infact the same with offline races! Win the Mustang at the start & thats $60k in the bag if you sell it, on top of what you've already earned.

 

The car list is good I'll say that, the Physic's are good as well. Presented well. I'm no way hating on the game, just saying what I think.

[TIMELESS]

I pretty much agree with all points.

 

If they listen to us, FH2 will be amazing. But hey, it's miles better than TDU2? (for most not-so-sane sane people)

[calster17]

TDU2 does have the advantage of the map size...but that's about it. Also Ginetta's & Caterham. And the fact off road trails really seem like they are off road trails!

 

But thats about it.

:lol:

[iNotACactus]

That would be Season Pass holders' fault for being oblivious enough to buy it in the first place. Nobody with a brain should expect T10 to release any decent DLC inside the Season Pass window.

[Dan G]

I disagree with the off road bit, I certainly feel a loss of grip when I hit the dirt roads, traction definitely goes to *bad word*.

 

Btw was last months season pass car that miura concept? It says it was. Because I don't have the pass and I was able to just D/L it for free in the marketplace enclosure.

 

:lol:

 

Meanwhile I'm still having fun with this game offline, I've found a new love in the C63 Black :)

 

Really wouldn't hurt to double or triple the map size...

[Ryzza5]

Off road feels fine for me too, just isn't enough trails or they aren't long enough to fully enjoy them. The one that goes to the bottom on the dam wall and the two roads just south of the lake are probably the only good ones.

[Dan G]

I agree man, anyone reckon T10 would ever increase the map size significantly? Ignoring the rally expansion.

[Ryzza5]

Map guys would be pushed on to FH2 fairly quickly I reckon, assuming they'll release it in late 2014.

[calster17]

From what I read last week, the Rally stages are independent of the map, closed stages. So not adding to the map.

If I hadent bought WRC3 I'd had considered getting the pack if cars were added to it...but knowing T10 if they made a rally pack it'd consist of the rally cars from Forza 4(S2000 207, Quattro S1 & Hyundai Volster Rallycross) and the rest would be US muscle of something! :lol: Can also see the roads being too wide for rally stages.

 

Maybe it's just me with the handling feeling the same, but still think the country roads are way too wide...need to be at least just over a cars width or less!

[Eudemon]

Supposedly next months DLC Pack (+ Season Pass car?) has been leaked via the Storefront or whatever but hey here is what it looks like may be coming for the new year, or maybe it will all be free as a thanks and jolly nice Christmas gift. (not bloody likely)

Bold cars should have been in the base game to begin with. Unimpressed.

[iNotACactus]

Quite liking the ESV, open-world games always need one drug dealers' car.
