Forza 5 Impressions From You

I'm not talking about that. I've told Fen multiple times that I thought Horizon was the best looking game I've ever played. They just payed too much attention to areas that didn't really need it, and forgot about the others.

For example, personally, if I were putting out a game in October of 2012 and the year 2012 is all over the game, I would've waited until 2013 or put the year in the game as 2013. As soon as it struck midnight on January 1st, the 3 month old game became old. And I've heard multiple people complain about this.

Also, the Rally Pack was an obvious last attempt to keep people on the game since they were losing players fast. Also, online was a joke and the car list was disappointing.

I just hope that they do better on Horizon 2. It has a ton of potential.

I was really disappointed because I was expecting (since they slapped the Forza name on it) it to be a free roam racer with sim driving for once, but nooooooo. :(

Yea, I didn't like Horizon either. They should have branded it another name, I pick up Forza I'm expecting full sim, with deep car detail. Side note, I'll be on tonight running some laps.

Well forza 5 is considerably more difficult than 4 with everything turned off. Started off with the BRZ.

A stock BRZ is really bad so that's probably why it seems more difficult.

I started with a 1 series.

Your probably right seeing that in 4 I spent most of time in my AWD R3 class '13 Viper which handled like a champ.

Does Forza not let you get back to the main menu to upgrade your car after some time? Been wanting to go back and see if my credits from Forzamotorsports.net transferred over and upgrade the BRZ but it just makes me continue to race. Got kind of annoying honestly.

Heard they added Road America (one of my favs) as free DLC.

Yup it's a 3Gb download for the track. Was racing on it yesterday trying to beat the bounty hunter time of 2:17 but was only able to get to a 2:27 on my quickest lap.

Does anyone drive without TC or STC? I'm trying to learn to drive without assists, but it's so frustrating since pushing halfway on the trigger gives full throttle for some reason. I'm following this guide http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/tu...ese-Steps.aspx

I do it gives me the ability to steer with the throttle.

I play with every assist off and manual with a clutch (in forza 4 I did have rewind on) and I get 60% extra every race because of it. I will admit that it took a lot of getting used to and was extremely frustrating at first but after playing through part of forza 3 and all of Forza 4 (including the R1 cars) it has become second nature and the game is very bland with assists now.

I will add that in forza 4 (I did maybe 150 races) I never got less than first place and in forza 5 (out of ~60 races) I have never gotten less than a gold.

I race with everything off except for ABS and I just leave it AUTO. For the way I play the only way I could use manual easily enough to have fun were if I could customize shift up and down to the left and right bumpers.
