Forza Horizon
 

Seeing as how this game just came out, I'm surprised no one has started a MiataTurbo club in the game.

I realize it's a little arcadey compared to Forza 4, but I find it fun nonetheless.

Anyways, I started the club.

A little???????
I already have this game, It's called TDU.

I didn't like the demo. My friend and gf think its the coolest thing ever, drifting 1000hp around traffic.

It looks totally fucking retarded and represents everything that is wrong with the car community.
This next generation of kids getting into cars think its all about ken block and overbuilt showcars that mimic the look of a group B rally car without actually being fast or legal to run in any race class that has or ever will exist.

They should have called it "Forza: Speedhunters edition".

Well damn, now I feel all stupid for finding it somewhat enjoyable. I never tried the demo unfortunately, probably should have.

While I don't care much for the basis of the game itself, it's fun enough to drive around in an almost open world concept.

Oh well, to each their own.

Eh, too much going on in the FPS world right now to give a damn. Halo 4 and Borderlands 2 is just too much to add another driving game. Especially with the reviews posted above :)

i was hoping that the demo was more arcadey than the game would be, like they did with forza 4. if the actual game has the shitty 140mph cornering-on-the-street physics i wont be buying it. forza has been going downhill since FM2 anyway.

FORZA 4 - the last REAL Forza.
Whatever this crap is, is NOT Forza.
I had really high hopes for this.
Sorely disappointed. Will not be getting it.

Don't feel bad. It's a video game, designed to be "fun."

Arcade racers are not "fun"

At least I've noticed a significant drop in shitty races on Forza 4.
I am going to be picking it up tonight though.
$15, that's the going rate around here for this POS.

What disappointed me the most was the list of cars. I mean forza 4 had practically every car that was worth a damn all wrapped up together. But in Horizon there's barely any cars at all.
The game is still fun and I like the open world. If it had more cars and a more practical storyline it would be great.

Forza 4 didnt have shit for cars.

I still think Gran Turismo 4 is the best racing game ever.

Forza Horizons != Forza 5. No worries.

I really like this game, I like the arcade-iness of it. On games like Saints Row, I dont care about the missions, I earn money to spend on car parts. I really enjoy this game.

Played MFS Most Wanted for a few hours. I have not had my arcade street racer fix for the next year.

I'll add this to my Gamefly Q and play a few hours at work one weekend. Have to fill my IT xmas season baby sitting with something.

Picked it up for $15 and after beating it, I agree $15 new is what this game is worth.

I love F4
But GT4 was damn good too.
Played it for a silly amount of years and didn't get tired of it.

If they combined GT4 with F4 it would be the BAUCE of affordable simulator types.

Anyone want to do some of the online challenges?

I requested to join the club, my gamertag is slipmagt.

This game is garbage. I paid $15 and that's what it's worth. There's like 10 cars and the game can't decide if you are on pavement or dirt.

Also, when did they start making iPhone games for Xbox? You get the base game and have to buy every car and they advertise a rally expansion that should have come with the game.

wtf are you talking about? There is way more then 10 cars, and there is a very noticeable distinction between the dirt and pavement.

Edit: never mind I see you are selling this game in the classifieds

What about GT5? I played GT4 wayyyy too much, just got GT5 and the graphics are just astonishing.

But in some ways, I miss GT4... I keep thinking it's just because I haven't explored all the stuff in GT5 but I don't know. The insanely long load times are killing me.

That has nothing to do with anything. There are a lot of cars in the game. Vehicle List - Forza Horizon Wiki Guide & Walkthrough - IGN

I think GT2 was the best of the GT series.

But I do so much "real" car/bike crap that I honestly have no desire to do it in a video game anymore. And no I'm not claiming to be friggen Jeremy Clarkson himself, but when you literally eat/sleep/breath vehicles in real life... I want games to be an escape. Going around a virtual track over and over perfecting my damper settings started to piss me off. One day a light bulb came on, "I don't even have the rebound tuned right on my REAL motorcycle, WTF am I doing?" NFS most wanted from about 5 years ago was some of the most fun I've ever had in a driving game.

That's a great point. I enjoy Gran Turismo because I don't get to be around/own most of these vehicle in real life, so I like to experience them in the game.

What do you do for a living? Sounds pretty epic.

I fly whirly-birds in t3h Navy. So many aeroquip AN fittings that you'd puke. And you know the government was charged like $100 per damn fittting... but I digress.

Yeah it's pretty sweet :giggle:

And I don't own anything as epic as what I drive in GT or Forza. But I have some cool rides... and NONE are finished. But my Lancia Stratos was tuned perfect... and pixelated... What gets you more laid, a real miata or a virtual lancia? I'll give you one guess :party:

I got it for christmas, and I've already beat it. I had alot of fun with it, the only thing I didnt like was the fewer cars, but there was still enough variety to keep me entertained.

The rivals part of the game is integrated very well into the story mode, and all the guys I used to play F4 with play horizon and anytime I finish a race it will pull one of their times up if they are faster and I get to race their ghost. So every night we race each other's times and we are slowly creeping up the leaderboards. Im ranked 802nd (out of ~800,000) in an event. Every morning at work I we all talk shit about how we put 2 or 3 tenths on the other guys time.

It may not have only 10 cars but the stock list is retarded small.
Now they expect you to fork over more money just to get shit that should have been there in the 1st place.

It's a dumbed down, thrown together version of forza 4.

If they took forza 4 physics and gameplay and set them to the open world environment, epicness would occur. But they didn't. I felt like I was playing NFS.

They changed the physics to less realistic??? :( I just bought an xbox and I need my racing game fix. Debating Forza 4 or horizon... Played forza 3 and4 and really enjoyed them..

Imagine a mix between Forza 4 and Test Drive Unlimited.
Taking hairpins at over 100, not to mention you cant tune cars. (you can upgrade, but not adjust anything like spring rates/ect)

That makes me very very sad...
