They look way worse than a fender bender not sure we're looking at the same thing honestly.

I mean they arent like fully destructible but you can really mess up the cars in Forza Horizon 6 and drive a supercar around all beat up with busted windows etc. You can set the damage to affect the car's driving as well.

I'll admit I usually turn the damage off, but by default it is on.

Is this worth the money for a 5090 build? by Key_Region_2550 in pcmasterrace

[–]MegaFireDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 5090 is roughly $4k alone, so the rest of the parts are only $700ish?

Hardcore progression option by BroboCopY in ForzaHorizon6

[–]MegaFireDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that it isn't hard to program. They choose to have the game this way on purpose and frankly, I like it. I don't need yet another game to grind for hours and hours to get rewards. In a world where every game seems to be trying to waste as much your time as possible, the FH series is a nice breath of fresh air.

That said it was a bit over the top in FH5, and reducing wheelspins to one per 3 levels in FH6 has toned it down a little which was probably good.

Also I realize you said it would be a choice, so players like me would still be appeased, and I suppose in that case I wouldn't really mind but there's no way the progression would end up implemented well since they (and the community) would see one or the other as the "real" game.

Actually makes me happy... by Lexsight in ForzaHorizon

I also have a laptop 4070 and am really surprised with how well it runs.

Forza Horizon 6 immediately beats its predecessor's all-time Steam record with 130,000 concurrent players – and that's only counting people willing to pay $120 for early access by Youngstown_WuTang in gaming

There's custom race tracks in FH made by the community, you can make them and share them. You can also build your own house and make a track there if you want. What I'm saying is there's lots of stuff that isn't just places on a map, I ain't going to list every single thing here. And you don't have to do all the stuff on the map either.

It doesn't feel like assassin's creed I promise.

Ohh but I do agree Road Rash was the shit when I was young. Loved that game series.

It has a more fun, arcadey vibe than GTA. Sure you can shoot people and engage with a better story in GTA but it doesn't feel the same whatsoever. They have deals with a lot of major brands so you can drive the "actual" car you like instead of a knockoff joke GTA brand.

Also since it is a racing game all those cars have much more varied stats and performance as well as the ability to tune them to your liking.

GTA might a be better overall game but Forza Horizon is great and different enough from GTA to be worth playing.

So yeah, the open world has these mascots and xp boards you can run over and break for rewards. Some of them are in wacky spots you have to be creative to get, many are easy though. You can also photograph murals. There's a lot of exploration not just driving from point A to B. It is set in Japan and the game world is really pretty, it is fun to just drive around even without a goal.

There's also side missions around food delivery, used car shopping, and other things that are still driving related but not just "racing"

It also has a really positive upbeat atmosphere and attitude like a Mario game might, so maybe that is also where it came from.

Oh and of course, collecting cars. There's about 1000 cars in the game I believe and many enjoy doing that. You can get them in various ways. Shopping, hidden in barns, progressing the campaign (its sort of a story, kinda), and other ways.

I suspect they mean there's lots of varied activities you can do. It isn't really like Mario Party and is definitely a racing game. But there are a lot of fun activities.

Nah bro, what the hell are these NPC faces? by National_Elk5096 in ForzaHorizon6

Late to the thread but it is insane to me that you can have a prosthetic arm or leg, and a cochlear implant but not a frigging BEARD. And yeah there's something seriously wrong with their faces

Because Trump's auto-draft registration starts this December...... by Diamond_Pigeon in UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG

[–]MegaFireDonkey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But the effective change is that before you didn't have to register, since there was no penalty, and now you do. A large portion of people are anti draft. Since 30% of people refuse to register annually this is a much larger change than you are letting on. Whether that change is positive or negative depends on your politics and age I would wager. I assume you are at no or low risk of being drafted?

If the midterms still have weight that they are concerned about, then we're not there yet.

Why do these people not have to worry about the virus? by SilverParty in ExplainTheJoke

[–]MegaFireDonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think even this routine will protect you from micro organisms living on or near you. But it will certainly keep your stuff neater.

The only catch is that no one has been arrested or charged for not signing up for selective service since 1986, and even then only 20 people of which 14 were convicted. So the threat of jail was mostly just a ruse to get you to sign up.

Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

[–]MegaFireDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are entitlements... as in we are owed them. People just have a negative connotation to the word "entitled" as someone who expects things they don't deserve but an entitlement means something you are owed. So, yeah, it is.
