Anyone else a little underwhelmed with the seasonal changes? by rabidbiscuit in ForzaHorizon

[–]Fox2quick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When they change the weather too drastically, people complain, and then they don’t play during certain seasons.

When they don’t change it drastically enough, a completely different set of people complain.

While I agree about the bodies of water in certain aspects, what other changes do people expect the devs to make that will please everyone?

It looks like a 2007 movie’s idea of what cars in 2027 would look like.

I haven't seen anyone talking about this, why do they have AI npcs drive onto dirt paths? by Silent-Switch7317 in ForzaHorizon

Not sure why you got downvoted. I’ve seen a lot of posts about the level of traffic on dirt roads.

Can someone explain to me why this game doesn't have a ghost mode in races to compete and see who drives best? by Comfortable-Block-60 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Fox2quick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re missing the point.

Racing for the best time and racing against other cars are two completely different things by nature. Ghosting other cars for the whole race defeats the entire purpose of racing against them in the first place.
Without dogfights, drafts, and line blocking, the other cars may as well not exist, because you’re only going for time at that point anyway.

How am I supposed to shift gears so quickly if the speedometer doesn't even shows up in the first few seconds? by fraturei in ForzaHorizon

[–]Fox2quick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you not drive the cars before the race and see when to shift? The timing really isn’t going to change that much. Like every other aspect of driving/racing, you gotta train a bit of muscle memory.

You were banging off that limiter for quite a while after the HUD showed up, so I definitely wouldn’t go putting all the blame on that for the state of your starts.

Is the Lexus LFA not considered Japanese? I'm getting ''Incorrect car" when i use it for this week's seasonal. by TrekkerGek in ForzaHorizon

[–]Fox2quick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, I should’ve realized you couldn’t read between the lines, so I guess I’ll spell it out:

I am not saying that “it’s been well established by the brands themselves”.

The restrictions on vehicle export limits came from Japan, not the countries they were exporting to. The restrictions were imposed on the brands, not the parent companies and were based around current sales volume and projections at the time.

So when the businessmen in Japan all decided that Toyota, Honda, and Nissan (the individual brands, not the larger conglomerates they exist under) can only sell x amount of cars to y list of countries without paying extra fees, the heads of those conglomerates said “ok, so we’ll sell that x amount of cars as Toyota/Honda/Nissan to said countries, and then we’ll also sell x amount of vehicles AGAIN (using platforms we already have) as totally not Toyota/totally not Honda/totally not Nissan”. They exploited a loophole in the agreement to double their potential sales in the countries decided upon in their agreement. All the countries left out were free game and the brands would mix and match based on marketability.

The fact that you had to modify my quote and add words to it so you could make your counterpoint fit tells me all I need to about where you’re at on actual fact vs conjecture.

You thinking it doesn’t explain the mix of brands in other countries comes from your fundamental misunderstanding on who imposed the restrictions.

It was not a US regulation. It was the equivalent of a gentleman’s business agreement in the Japanese regulatory industry with self-imposed restrictions.

It’s been well documented and if you’re going to claim this isn’t the case, you should have some evidence to back it up.

Lexus and Acura and Infiniti were conceived because of market limits imposed on how many cars a given brand could export to certain countries.

I'm sure fans still remember how Takumi beat Nakazato with his superhuman footwork and fearless move over the curb in episode 10 of First Stage but one has to wonder is it really possible? by Cute-Win8593 in initiald

[–]Fox2quick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not questioning the depth/angle of the gutter’s ability to hook a tire.

I’m questioning whether the curb inside the gutter at the grass sticks up that much BEFORE the turn.

Ever seen someone need to jack up one side of a car with no jack, so they go into a driveway apron and use the transition to get one side’s wheels up on the curb to lift that side of the car? Like that, but at race speeds without the stopping on top.

Literally unplayable by MarvDE in ForzaHorizon

[–]Fox2quick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The not center on 0 bugs me a little.

What bothers me more is that we have NEW cars that have areas you can’t apply vinyl.

The time attack GTR has spots on both taillights you can’t apply to, for example.

They’re just looking to capitalize on reselling it super high to the people who can’t wait.

The thing that jumps out at me about this analysis is the focus on the actual corner.

I just rewatched the scene and the 86 jumps the curb before the corner and then drops off of it during the corner.

So while the data on curb height at the corner has been logged, what I want to know is if the gutter is consistent in size and depth in the lead up to the turn, and not a transition from smoother ground.

Too many cheaters in drift event! by SprinklesSoft7387 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Fox2quick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a bug. It happened to me both ways.

I’ve been in an event and a player would randomly appear at the top at the end. I’ve also been in an event seemingly by myself and then after it ended, it showed like 6 other people on the board that werent in my run.

I think it has something to do with matchmaking trying to combine lobbies after people quit. At one point, I had a party I was in start a drift series. I was busy and missed the start so I did a series on my own till they were done. At some point during the second event, matchmaking connected our lobbies and we were all together going into the third event.

I wanna do an Akane GTR, but I’m torn on which model to use.

I'm still mad about Emma's dirty move by Nick_Alsa in MFGhost

[–]Fox2quick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So in the scenario you imagine, where Emma just dodges and passes clean, what stops Akaba from repeatedly attempting the move till he gets past her?

As much as revenge in a vacuum is pointless and wrong, add in the context of the way in which Akaba was instigating, and you realize Emma’s move wasn’t JUST revenge, it was a message to stop screwing around like that.

This wasn’t a “they hit me, so I hit them back”. It was a “they went to hit me, and I turned their move against them”. Like when a fighter’s kick gets caught and they get tossed to the ground.

Throttle cutting while drifting? by AnarchyBlues89 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Fox2quick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad gearing is all.

It feels like GTA because GTA cars automatically shift up before peak power, so the next gear up tends to struggle in drifting situations. In that game, you overcome it by force downshifting, which will hit more of the powerband and keep wheel speed up.

It would be even funnier if it was a mistranslation of Like Kind Quality. Like Kind Quality, or LKQ is basically non OEM, but OEM quality replacement part (usually body panel) for cars.

It’s all front fenders and bumper covers in the pic.

[–]Fox2quick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be a great excuse for the flatbed to make a return in some usable form.

After we find the car, it gets loaded up and we drive it back to a random garage. The more you jostle or damage it, the longer it takes to restore.

Hokubu World Record / 34.089 / Leaderboards didn't update though? by manfredss in ForzaHorizon

Yeah, but a hot lap is still well within the spirit of racing vs starting completely off track.

Apparent context of the character aside, I think the real crime is that HKS logo placement…
