I couldn't do anything with my car, couldn't move around to explore. All I could do is sit there, next to other racers. I assume they're other online players that I can talk to? I wasn't in a social mood (LOL Goons), so I just left the car meet not long after I got there to satisfy that annoying British dude that tells me the obvious before every race.

Lyer posted:Are the 360 players pretty happy with the game? I've only read good things about the xbone version. It's got some rough edges, but the actual game is a lot of fun. It feels more like FH 1.5 with a new map than a true sequel. Heads up - Dev feedback has been MUTE about any support or answers to questions on the official forums. The basic game and map are included, but some fun quality of life stuff is definitely missing. It even looks like the Forza Rewards system is basically going to ignore this version. Which is, frankly, a load of bullshit if it isn't just an issue caused by launch bugs etc. If I'm honest ... I'd only recommend it if you have no intention of getting an Xbox One in the next few months. I've done nothing but look for good deals on Xbone's this week so I can go play the 'real' game as it really looks to be one of the most next gen-like of next gen experiences released so far (to me). Also, Zero goons have signed up for the 360 version of the GRC club since I posted it a few pages back so it seems empty  I had so much goddamn fun with goons doing silly co-op poo poo when the last game launched.pvax fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Oct 2, 2014 |

Seeking some clarification please  I'm just asking about the main career stuff. I'm not counting Barn Finds, Bucket List, and Showcase events here.Pvax's 360 version Career stats screen posted:
Now ... Xbone (Xbone True Achievements guide to career) posted:
Is the Xbone info accurate??? Are all of these 672 race events completely unique!?!?? Or do you see a lot of repeat events popping up? Even if they aren't .. that's a crazy difference and an awesome amount of stuff. Is there a Rivals mode in the Bone version that lists all the events?? pvax fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Oct 3, 2014 |

I think it's going to be a good skill investment. Also, last time I checked I was due $1.5M FH2 bux but I still haven't gotten them. That said, I have a nice starter garage and some truly beastly cars like the Ferrari 330 P4, and I have about $1.2M in the bank. I wonder if there's anything else I'm owed that I'm missing? This is another goon behind me but I already forgot who it is (also not racing):

pvax posted:
They aren't unique. Each location seems to have its own set of routes/tracks for offroad/rally vehicles, and a different set of tracks for road cars. Within those two categories, the tracks do repeat themselves, so (for example) you'll end up running the same cross-country event in Nice in both the Offroad and Sport Utility Heroes categories.

Yeah .. looking at the Rivals tab on the spreadsheet at this site http://www.manteomax.com/, it looks like 80 or so unique events (so just shy of double the 360 version). That's still a lot more, but not as crazy as I thought. X1 FH2 does look to have a little more variety to the actual championships and mixes things up a bit. 360 has the same 4 courses per championship regardless of class choice. It does look like the Rivals Leader-boards are tracked per class rather than just one overall per course like in some games, so that's pretty cool. pvax fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Oct 3, 2014 |

Did a bit of racing with some other GRC members, and confirmed that pubbies are still morons. One guy had music (or a Mexican game show) playing over his headset, and the other one was racing the Lamborghini Urus by using it as a battering ram to just drive into everyone else.

Dr. Faustus posted:Add GutBomb303 as a friend, and join the club. That's just because the game happened to come out at the start of five days off for me, and I don't have a heck of a lot else to do right now. I spend most of the last half of October on the road (I think I have a total of six days off between the 11th and the 30th), so I'm sure someone will pass me pretty easily.

The club option is still greyed out. I guess I need to finish 3 championships, etc.? Or can I be invited to one without unlocking it?

I have gotten stuck on world geometry once. I mean, as in actually stuck to the point I couldn't move away. I paid 7,800 credits to fast travel to a hub and I had plenty of money so it wasn't a big deal, but it definitely happens. BTW, whatever you do, DO NOT upgrade a VW Beetle to S1 900. Trust me, it's horrible and awful and undriveable and totally not worth it! Even if you do, DO NOT swap drivetrain to AWD! You have been warned! Trust me, you'll hate it.

I painted a van in Forza 4 to look like the TV licensing enforcement vans that drive around the UK and because I included the publically available phone number of the TV licensing department just like the vans do, it was removed from the storefront.

Out of the blue the game gifted me seven cars and all my money. I was not paying attention and I think I actually hit X and DELETED at least one, if not two, of my free cars. If they're for sale (I think it was the BMW M1) I can afford to buy one. Be careful when mashing buttons, people! I'm Captain Howdy 0 and I approve this message.

Dr. Faustus posted:Totally, but be advised I think you can be reported for TOS violation with your pedo-van, it might get you banned or at least have that van disallowed. I seem to remember other people running into this very problem before. They can tell you about it. Or google it. Ha, In FM5, I bought a GMC Vandura and give it a free candy paint job. I raced online in several with the matches with the van. I hope MS doesn't come down on me for that. I love my van! e: Dr. Faustus posted:Has anyone else noticed that tuned AWD cars are pretty much invincible in single-player? Totally agreed with the AWD cars. It was the AWD cars in the demo that killed my enthusiasm for the game; since their handling abilities were so high that you couldn't even spin out in the rain. I'm glad I bought the game anyways. The RWD cars can be a handful sometimes. A definite improvement over the AWD cars. Although if the AWD cars are still insanely overpowered, I should probably tune up the free Evo I won during my level up Wheelspin. With $3M, there is only one answer: Buy the Ford Sport Van, throw every mod at it, then beat up on pubbies. Then, kick back and enjoy the 13-year olds' cursing and the "RACING GAMES R SERIOUS BIDNESSS!!!!11" rage quitting. Dolemite fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Oct 3, 2014 |

Bring a huge Transit or a Vandura to any pubbie race, it's cool with me. If I'm there I'll just find somewhere else to race. On the other hand, bring a grief-mobile to one of my lobbies when it's not a specific huge box race; and we're going to butt heads. I mean no offense, but you've been crowing about your van-griefing prowess for several days now and it's just not my thing. That said, I still agree pubbies often deserve it. Sometimes, though, you find a good lobby and you should be a good guy to share the track, and win on skill. That's when you leave the huge fast vans at home. I apologize for coming off all preachy, "it's just a game" and all of that. Please don't be offended. Like every other gamer, I have opinions.

crosscountryraces.jpg: Seriously, gently caress these events. I always have to set the difficulty to average to stand any chance of winning, because the drivatars don't seem to care about minor issues like "I can't see poo poo oh hey I hit a tree again" and "oh god there is no grip" and just fly past me on higher difficulties.  Another thing the drivatars seem to be confused about are the road trips, as they seem to think the idea is to re-enact Death Race 2000 with expensive supercars.Terrible cross-country races and annoying drivatars aside, this game is pretty great and I'm having a blast.
