Forza Horizon

[Christopher]

Nice setup, but you need moar screen!

Completed this last night, not 100% but the main single player. Very 'meh' overall, IMO. The last 'Gold' events were literally a chore, I just wanted the game done.

Now I can get back to trimming my Motegi/NSX-R laptime.

 

[Chet]

I finished it the other night, I still have a bunch of events to do but I'm not really bothered. I find myself doing the same as I did with Forza 4 - buying a car, upgrading it then driving it/doing donuts for a few minutes before moving on to the next one!

I got my popularity from 75 to 1 by hooning about on the golf course in my sport quattro

 

[Silent_Scone]

iPad GPS is a nice touch but screw playing on that screen lol

 

[Hixle]

I've done hardly any races, they just annoy me. Point to point one's are ok, as are showcase, but ones that lap around town wind me up.

 

[Christopher]

The old Mini race around Carson was shocking. Wheelspin in the first three gears with 90hp. Yeahright.

 

[Adamm.]

Found myself back on FM4 last night and was shocked at how slow it felt compared to Horizon lol.

I'm 90% complete and have lost a lot of interest. Infected online is a good laugh though.

I get severe motion sickness, only way to keep it at bay is to have plenty of 'stuff' (i.e. not screen) in my peripheral vision. Still can't play FPS games though.

The old mini was really disappointing, understeer city. The 595 was fun, especially with circa 600hp. However, since we can't tweek gear ratio's it topped out at 150. Don't need tuning though, because forza4kidz...

I've still not won that race, pissed off at being rammed all over the place. Oh, so you wanted that gap then?

This.

It's like racing against a bunch of Grosjanaldo's.

 

[Joe#]

I really want the 'tune' function back

 

[Hixle]

I don't care what anyone says, the devs were lazy not to put tuning in. I don't care if it sets the car up for you, sometimes you don't want huge amounts of grip.

Bring on FM5. Hopefully we'll get a different set of wheels then, too, rather than one's from 2001.

 

[Joe#]

Exactly. Half the fun in the game is setting the car up exactly how you want it. And to do massive tripods

 

[Gareth]

I tried SmartGlass this morning, its a great feature, but for me was quite laggy.

 

[Philip.]

Still not 100% over getting this after reading various reviews and views on here. Might just wait until xmas!

 

[Sam]

Yeh was good fun doing the co-op.

Be good if we can get a full party to do some of the 8 player co-op missions.

Yeh Colin. You need a mic to save on the messaging. Ha

 

[kpowell911]

Works very well, a bit of technology that genuinely makes the game more enjoyable. Hardly any lag, it tracks you very accurately...

How are you doing that? Says its not out here?

[Ben]

I had the Xbox app and it updated to the Smartglass today.

 

[TimR26]

I think that might be a good excuse to get an iPad Mini.

 

[-Jason-]

Sorry I didn't accept your invite bonxy I was watching the Chelsea game.

 

[iOllieSM]

215/216 roads found.... -.-

 

[DannyR]

Garage near races in the north west little town, tiny little nib that comes off to the right.

 

[iOllieSM]

Got that little bit. There's probably a tiny through road or something that I've missed. Been over the map about 20 times and there's nothing obvious that I've missed. Will have to have another proper look later. More importantly though, 10 more discount signs to get!

 

[ukaskew]

It's on the App Store. I noticed it so quickly because I had the XBox App, which updated to become the new Smartglass App.

Flol! f**k you forza!!

That's the bit that I was looking for for AGES.

I may struggle to get on tonight.. Will have to see later on, Saturday will be a good chance to nail a few co-ops... Looking forwards to the lambo day trip!

Can you reccomend a decent quality headset / mic??

 

[Toby]

I was trying to join you two last night.

I hadn't got my headset plugged in and it wasn't working so I just went out in the end.

Colin, just get some turtle beaches off ebay.

X1's or X11's are decent.

 

[KFRRS94]

I found it really easy to find any roads I'd missed. Currently on about 80% complete.

Still got some gold events, I've already beat Flynt. got about £13,000,000Cr, treated myself to an Aventador J :approve:

My mate got me the new xbox Black headset.

You can connect it to your phone and your xbox at the same time so if anyone rings and you answer it mutes you in the party.

I like the xbox ones to as there all wireless. My mates got the turtle beach one but I'd hate to be restricted to a 1m wire.

 

[DannyR]

Is your head ever further than 1m from your hands? Lol

 

[Adamm.]

^^ lol!

Mine cost £5 and has done the job for what little use it gets.

 

[Eddie.]

I thought that!?

The Turtle Beach one plugs into the Xbox controller, and I can't recall a time where I have been playing a game with the controller over a metre away from my head! LOL!

 

[iOllieSM]

That's the bit that I was looking for for AGES.

Got that bit I've looked everywhere though and it isn't clear -.- even driven to the motorway, come off at the exit and driven under the bridge because I figured it was that. Not that though. Well annoying

 

[iOllieSM]

^^ lol!

Where'd you get this £5 mic? I'm after a cheapy one that works
