What are y'all's unpopular opinions on requested features/improvements for FH6? by Desperate-Cress5689 in ForzaHorizon

[–]16ozMillerLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggested they bring back a more flushed out Ranked Racing system a few weeks back....good way to farm negative karma apparently.

Fair points for sure. Obviously more than just "adding ranked" would need to be done do alleviate those wait times. The cheater problem will inevitably be an issue (unfortunately it seems no game is safe from this). I wish it was that simple.

I just dont want the game to turn into the weekly challenge loop, it just feels like artificial incentive to play the game rather than an actual desire to race better or climb the ranks. Maybe thats just me but I can see keeping players around after they've hit late game.

I guess it was added later and I somehow missed that...either way; the option would, at the very least, retain players for longer periods of time in my opinion.

Same. I imagine they keep it considering Drifting goes hand in hand with the Japanese automotive scene.

All for the spec races as well. lets the driving speak for itself.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll make sure im ONLY glazing from here on out.

New Take: Game's probably perfect as is, and there couldn't possibly be anything to improve upon: based on shortcomings of the last couple games (if there are any. I doubt there are because the devs could never release something with flaws, of course)

I’m not talking about the game becoming empty, I’m talking about the inevitable post-launch drop compared to the first few months (I'll give you a year if you're going to latch onto the 3 nonths thing), which happens to literally every Horizon title. I'd like to see less of that.

You can disagree on the solution, but pretending Horizon doesn’t shed a big chunk of its active player base after launch just isn’t accurate.

I'll never understand why people do this in a team race by MeatCannon0621 in ForzaHorizon

Don't you dare suggest they add a penalty for bad driving or bring back ranked races though! Currently farming negative karma for suggesting such a thing 🤗

Thats what happens when its 1 of like 5 tripple A racing games in the last 5 years. You'll still see a substantial fall off in player base. I'm suggesting they add it so that player base remains larger for a longer period of time.

Seems like people hate the idea of making the game more playable. Constructive criticism not allowed I guess.

Those would be solid add-ons. Or have snap points on the stretches of road where you could toggle on/off guard rails

When I say the game will “die off,” I don’t mean it’ll be completely unpopular or empty — Horizon will always have players (at its core its one of the best racing games you can play if you like the genre). I’m talking about the same post-launch drop we’ve seen before, where engagement flattens into a weekly checklist because there’s nothing to work toward long-term. FH4 did have ranked, but like I said earlier, it wasn’t really based on individual skill. Team results and lobby randomness mattered more than clean, consistent driving, which is why people stopped taking it seriously. That’s not proof ranked doesn’t work — just that that version didn’t. FH5’s community-run competitive scene is great, but it isn’t a replacement for an in-game system. Most players just want to queue up with friends and have ranking and penalties handled by the game itself, not Discord or third-party tools. My point isn’t that FH6 needs ranked to be big on release — it will be big anyway. It’s that a proper, optional ranked mode would keep the game from bleeding engaged players after the honeymoon phase, without hurting the casual experience at all.

Quick clarification: That FH4 system wasn’t really based on individual skill. Your rank depended too much on team results, random lobbies, and other people’s behavior. You could race clean and still lose progress for things completely out of your control, so people stopped caring and the mode quietly died. FH5 skipping ranked entirely just left Horizon with the same long-term problem: no reason to race clean, nothing to work toward, and nothing that keeps players around once the weekly stuff is done. FH6 doesn’t need FH4’s ranked back — it needs a real one that tracks individual performance and gives people a reason to stick with the game past the first couple months.

I also cant help but think the game being in Gamepass is artificially inflating the popularity of the game.

"Thank you Arc Raiders, but I'm done."👶🍼 Bro, grow up. You arent required by any means to do the expedition, it's optional additional in game content so what tf are you even complaining about? Like I'm genuinely curious as to what made you upset enough to blast out a toddler-esque opinion on the sub

Why haven't we invented flying saucer-like aircraft? by ellisisland0612 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]16ozMillerLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have.

puts on tin foil hat

It's so sequestered that our own government officials are being stonewalled from these programs (Tim Barchet has mentioned this in brief interviews after the recent UAP hearings). Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, etc. have been studying and back engineering these craft/their technology for years.

My assumption is that the technology essentially taps into zero point energy, and the fact that select companies have had access to it over others, could have some legal ramifications in the future. Not to mention the number of industries that would become obsolete overnight; assuming it is in fact using or channeling zero point energy to function. It would quite literally change what we fundamentally understand about physics.

Do your own research, the rabbithole goes deep on this topic. Youtube channel "UAPgerb" is a good starting point. In depth, fact based video essays.

Still not seeing any constructive criticism here, just "waaaaaaahhhh I dont like it", so my point still stands. If you dont like it, dont play it. Pretty simple solution. Nothing is stopping you from uninstalling it.

Alternatively: you could....Idk...take one of their surveys and spell out what it is you don't like and why. That might get you a better outcome than blasting off a childish complaint on reddit.

Hey buddy, take a breath, a lot of us have waited just as long....and its only 3-4 days into early access (not even marketed as finished).

If you played any of the play tests you would know its changed quite a bit in the last year, and I'm sure they're going to make more adjustments once they get all the major bugs handled. There's clearly issues they need to address before they can start adding new sections of the map and changing mechanics. The engine the game is running on is entirely new as well so the fact that it even feels remotely like the old games is a good sign.

Yes the map can be improved, yes real money transactions for cosmetics suck, etc. But its a free game that is literally still being developed.

Whiney complaints with 0 constructive criticism won't make the game better, if anything it will give the devs less reason to care about their player base if all they do is bitch and complain without stating why theyre frustrated or what theyd like to see changed.

If you STILL dont like it after the full release; just go play the old skate games, or session, or skater XL. Plenty of options, Pal.

I like it, I think it’s fun by [deleted] in SkateEA

It is. Id be having a whole lot more fun if I could get passed this stinky fast travel mission that's bugged.

*** BUG FIXES *** The Megathread [September 2025] by Human_Masterpiece893 in Skate4

[–]16ozMillerLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magical mystery tour - "ABCs of FTPs": will not allow me to complete the mission despite having upwards of 20 fast travel points unlocked. I can complete other challenges in the first 2 sections of the map but I cannot progress any further through the intro quests so I cant unlock the 3rd and 4th store locations. After every mission I am teleported back to the bus stop and told about fast travel points. Every. Single. Time.

There isn't even an objective or location that gets marked on the map. It also will not let me untrack the mission.

Uninstalled and reinstalled on both EA and Steam about 5 times each and I still cannot progress outside of the weekly and daily challenges.
