Vic 2.0

Hehe, I'm sure I'll come around to playing on the computer before long. But I don't have the PC for it at the moment.

Cool, cool. But there's a good variety of choices within each class? I am still leaning toward that one, as I like the idea of an open world and it looks like it has good graphics (even on the 360). I just don't want many of the races to kick my ass to the point of ragequitting and never picking it back up again; I'm sure you can relate. I didn't bother finishing Midnight Club: L.A. or doing those endurance runs on PGR4, for example, it was just too ridiculous, IMO.

Which games, Forza Horizons 2? I'm fine with optional challenges requiring me to race in different vehicles; I just don't want to have it forced on me. Someone at Amazon told me I could do any race with any car, though... And I'm actually fine with it taking a while to gain money; makes it feel like more of a project that way. Would you guys say Forza Horizons 2 is a better game overall than the NFS games?

Would there be any need to get Forza Horizons 1 before 2? Like, is there a story you have to follow or something? I did also have PGR4, and it was great but again I had to change vehicles too much, which is the other problem I'm trying to avoid in my next racing game. Do you know if Forza Horizons 2 makes you do that? Race in different vehicles a whole lot? Or can you do most races in your favorite vehicle? And yes, it would have to be Xbox 360.

Only three fairly recent games I've played are Midnight Club: LA, Grid, and one of the Need for Speed games, can't remember. I'm looking at Forza Horizons 2 right now (I'd have to buy the X360 version) and everything looks great about it but it could be a trap!

I'm lookin for one. But there are two things of which at least one always pops up every time I try a new racing game these days: 1. Rubberband A.I. 2. Not being able to use the same car in almost every race. For me, what keeps me from enjoying building up a car just the way I like it is that my opponents can always catch up to me by magically becoming faster every time I'm ahead of them. It's either that, or I can't actually get used to driving the car of my choice because I'm forced to race in several different types of cars just to get through a tournament or the storyline (depending on type of game). I'm not much concerned with whether the game is "arcade" or "simulator", so long as I can actually get the hang of driving a vehicle without having to switch to an entirely different one every other race! Oh, and I'd like for it to be an open world racer but am not interested in GTA or the like. Is there any hope for me? Do any of you know a game that might satisfy? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
