I love the series but I'll admit I'm not very good at them. It's the physics I can't get past. I DO play arcade racers like a pro because it ditches all the physics that hinder me. Is there an arcade feel tutorial or prominent Forza tuner in game I need to look for when I hit the auto tune button ?

Yeah i mean people always call the Horizon games arcade games, but i think Simcade' would be more apt. The control is basicaly the same as the Motorsport games, just a little easier, hardly like old arcade games like Ridge Racer etc.

You don’t need to play other players to get through it. Tuning in this game is an absolute art, there’s going to be a bunch of tunes for every car, and opinions will differ on which is better, but largely when you’re looking at the best: it’s built for manual, no traction control or ABS.
Stick with what you like, and you’ll be good, there really is no competition in this.

I would love to play with a wheel but Forza Horizon is one of those games I leave in chase camera which (and with driving line on as I don't like needing to check the minimap during offroad races) and using a wheel with chase cam always feels weird to me. Now when GT7 comes out I'll definitely play with a wheel since it's track based.

Well, this is annoying. Finally getting around to playing on PC and I get an error trying to launch the game. Microsoft antics strike again.

Painted up my 350Z for Forzathon. Racked up the required 500,000points going up and back down the volcano. Fun car!
Really liking a lot of the new wheels in this game.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
First Horizon game. Pretty good so far.

Amazing visuals and the start races was the best ever in the serie imo, so cool!
I don’t understand the progression though. I get that there is a catch’em all mechanic but within half an hour I had a free S1 Lambo doing nearly 400km/h, 2 hours later I had 14 cars. I wish I could start with a rusty wreck instead and grind a bit to build from there, there no sense of achievement to get a fast car right now.
I love the driving though, it’s perfection. Tonight I’m trying the wheel, I’ve only played with a controller so far. The sound is amazing too!

Sweet game.
- Played on Performance mode
- Turned off radio dj and voiceovers (tried to get as much blabbing cut out as I could as I just want to drive)
- Took the Supra
- Tight gameplay and great zippy visuals
- Visuals have an issue (didn't test it on Quality mode) where the trees and bushes have pop in issues with light green colours popping in
- As usual, you'll have to get through about 15 minutes of canned tutorials and unskippable cut scenes

The
reason you can have any car is because you can do any race at any point in time

Not from the start, they unlock as you progress, they could let you drive with slow cars at first and then as new races pop up they go up in speed as you progress through the game so you need to grind to get a better car or upgrade to win.
But if you decide to unlock street races for example you’d miss out with a slow car. Alternatively you can progress that was if you want because they match the CPU to your car level.

Yeah FH6 could introduce "new" 'rags to riches' SP mode like in those old school Forza Motorsport , GT or NfS games.

Yeah 'Environment geometry quality' set to Extreme is a must or else trees unfold a few feet in front. Too distracting.

You can also select any car class and game loads drivatars according to your class. It's pretty awesome that way you can do same race like 10 times and it feels new each time.

Sounds perfect that’s what I want!

Yeah but they always scale so you can win if you don’t mess up terribly. When am I supposed to need to upgrade? I’ve won everything I’ve tried so far. Still on default difficulty though, guess I should tweak that. Not sure I can tweak how easy I get cars and wheelspins though.

Right. Try 'Unbeatable' difficulty in cross county races and, if that is somehow not enaugh, then theres always online!
Good luck

4.5 million is bigger than TLOU2 by the way. TLOU2 sold 4 million in the first three days worldwide. I get that gamepass is skewing these numbers a bit, but its still remarkable for a game to have that many players in day one. I remember COD Modern Warfare 2 selling 4.5 million copies on day one on the 360 back in the day. Yes, it sold another 2.7 million on the PS3, but for horizon to match the day one tally of one SKU of one of the biggest games in history is a monumental achievement.

Pretty early on if you keep placing 1st the game should recommend increasing the difficulty. I believe it starts you on Average. There’s 4-5 difficulty tiers above that. I’m not that good, so I’m still on Above Average.

This game!
FH4 lost me a little bit after FH3.
FH5 has got me back in balls deep.

Wish I could, but there's a known bug affecting Fanatec wheels. There are some workarounds, but I'm waiting for a patch and doing mostly offroad stuff since I prefer on-road racing with a wheel.
