There you are in your home, and the soldiers smash down the door and tell you you're in the middle of World War III. Something's gone wrong with time.
I miss the Super Lap days from Forza 3. The races seem to be shorter in general in F4 so it might take you considerably longer to complete 3. I know I never did!

Yay 150. :toot: I still have about 48% of the Event List to do, plus lots of online racing, cars I still want to buy and tons of other poo poo. This game is going to easily last me 2 years.

Kilonum's internet took a poo poo and he wanted this thread to be made aware. He'll be out until at least Sunday.

I don't know why you guys would care, all he does with us is crash and burn. A lot.

ftfy, and my god is the hired AI awful. I think I mentioned before but as one of many examples I started the AI in a car that would absolutely destroy the race, but it was one of those heat/race world series things and I felt like grabbing a bite to eat so I said hey why not let the AI take this.

On start, my car rockets to second place, where the driver remembers his age and puts the brakes on so as to avoid going too fast. Going into turn one, the AI has flashbacks to 'Nam and locks up. As the other cars sail by you can tell he thinks he's avoiding files of Charlies by laying low. Thus traumatized, the driver decides to stick to the back of the pack for two laps out of three. Toward the end of the third lap the game decides it's been a little unfair and the car magics up to second place out of nowhere, only to decide going into the final straight that it would make more sense to just stop the car in the middle of the road and let Rossi muscle over, eventually getting back into the gas and taking third place.

You don't get any experience and the driver takes a huge cut of your credits. Why does he even need those credits? Look, i'm not racist but, A.I. drivers are not people, they don't need money.

If the race gets pushed back a day I'll not be able to race, if we go ahead without him that's all good, sucks though, he's put a lot into setting it up.

This kind of attitude was sad around the days of Pole Position, but in 2011 it's just bloody-mindedness.

Holy loving poo poo. What's your played time at?

Not sure, its a lot. I would say that 70% of the races were done by hired racers. I would be doing other things while the AI raced. But even this was a ton of work, having to go through the menus, pick the cars, adjust the difficulty. Tons of babysitting. I think its somewhere around 700 races total.

I'm just set on getting 100% achievements. FM3 was one of the few games I got all achievements. The only thing in my way is getting my hands on a damned unicorn.

This is why the game needs actual text instead of shapes that look like letters and numbers. There should be the option of having user inputted numbers and perhaps the driver name. So when you went to the apply vinyls menu, it would say "This car is locked, although you may edit some of the text"

Finished all of the European races on the Event List today. :toot: Now to do the Japanese side, which I have about 60% complete.

For vinyl editor updates in Forza 5, I would like to be able to put text and decals on windows, like in Shift 2. Another car customization feature that I would love to have is the ability to take out a stock cars interior and replace it with a racing one. Also like in Shift 2, but to be fair, Slightly Mad only had to model this for 120 unique cars.
