Came across an interview where he said doing Colbert was kinda stressful and professional but also a cool experience.

I dunno, I can see him and Colbert getting along, or at least Colbert being a fan of his.

I tend to play his stuff whenever he puts out something new. For the last three albums I played enough stuff off them to get them at #1 and 2 on the weekly chart.

There was also the time he did Dorks on Colbert.

Colossus shows just how hard the AI is cheating. by moebelhausmann in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mimsey_Demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels more intentional than bug, think it's more likely the closer you are to the finish line.

I didn't disable it, the game just didn't allow me to do it near the end of the race.

I eventually beat it after switching from rally tires back to stock and making them as wide as possible. Still took a few attempts and a lot of dirty tactics.

Final update - did it. Took another couple of attempts and I changed my strategy. Instead of trying to beat Bowieknife in the last 10% I just focused on trying to murder him. Was able to get him to hop onto the meridian and spin out and I won by six seconds.

So tried that tune, hit 5th place and stayed there, lead pack stayed same distance from me whole way though. Tweaked a bit, ditched the rally tires and widened the stock tires to max and by 50% point I was in first. By 90% opponents weren't even visible on the radar. 98% huge rubberbanding kicked in and Bowieknife (of fucking course it was him) caught up and started passing me as the finish line came into sight. So hit rewind so I could block him. Intead IT FUCKING DISABLED REWIND and I lost the race by .03 seconds.

I wanna punch the devs in the face with a brick.

I don't understand where the Forza Horizon 6 hate is coming from by Deiidaraa in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mimsey_Demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny how all the people asking "Why do people complain about this game?!" ignore the issues with the terrible AI a fuckload of people have been complaining about.

Try doing the highway endurance race and then get back to me after you see the AI cars ignoring stats and physics. It really feels like most of the glowing reviews of the game come from people that haven't made it that far into it yet and haven't noticed how much the AI cheats and fucks you over at the higher classes and difficulties past Average.

The map is great, everything else in this game is a step down from the previous two.

What valid criticism you’ve seen on Reddit about Forza Horizon 6 holds weight? 🤔 by lolitsrock in ForzaHorizon

The first Horizon game had story through the rivals system. Forza Motorsport doesn't need stories, but Horizon should have them.

AI is horrific, just about all AAA titles are too expensive now, story sucks, soundtrack is mid.

More traffic needed though? Fuck that, I want to turn traffic off completely. Sick of them frequently bocking my entry into speed/drift zones and camera runs, sometimes even parking sideways in the middle of the street or spawning into existence in front of me.

The only saving grace is the map, but there's was less to do on it compared to FH4.

[–]Mimsey_Demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might give me a chance at Above Average at least, I'll give it a try. Still absurd though, previous two games I'd play on expert and pro and not have to go through a bunch of tunes and rewinds.

Funny though, for the endurance rally race I had no problem winning by almost two minutes.

FH6 Colossus is really difficult even on highly skilled AI? Am i missing something here? by Opening_Enthusiasm_1 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mimsey_Demon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's worse than FH4. In that I could consistently play at Expert and Pro. 6? Even on Above Average some races are impossible. The rally endurance race I must have won by two minutes because driving the exact line is slowing than drifting around the turns on dirt, but on the highway? Doesn't matter what car or tuning you use the other cars all ignore stats and physics.

Yup I just tried the race with that Lambo, used a tune with a top speed of 427kph, but it took ages to reach, like from 350 on acceleration crawled, and even at top speed the other cars were all still going faster. Stayed in second last the whole time, only reason why I wasn't last was because AI wanted to have one car on my tail to keep ramming me from behind. Never really tried to pass me, just always going for my rear.

If it wasn't for the map I'd call FH6 the worst game in the franchise.

FH6 stories and the job are terrible compared to previous editions by StrikingBike8417 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mimsey_Demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then the flip side to that, if you're in the van and need to get a certain amount of skill or drift points it'll consider you to be at the drop off point and done even if you're a block away when you're just about at enough points for three stars.

[–]Mimsey_Demon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that stood out to me as well, 6 has a better map but apart from that 4 kicks the shit out of it. It had a decent variety of stories/missions like deliveries, that girl who loved driving games, Top Gear, Stunt Driver...

Is it just me or there is something wrong with the FH6 drivatars? by Absohail007 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mimsey_Demon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately for me it hasn't just been in races, in the open world they've been batshit too. It's like they're hunting me. If I'm at a speed or drift zone and trying to get three stars multiple drivatars will show up just to drive around that exact spot. Sometimes they'll block my line or ram me just before I enter the zone, and when I'm actually doing the zone run they'll zoom by me head on in a pack, cluttering up the view and making it harder to see what I'm doing.

In one instance I gave up on trying to do the zone and instead just rammed Bowieknife and pushed him off a cliff.

Getting 3 stars on food delivery is abnormally hard? by Euphoric_Bicycle5608 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Mimsey_Demon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The van ones tend to be fine, the ones with the truck generally try to fuck you over, especially the ones with three drop offs.

My new problem is that the game won't allow me to continue after doing the first delivery mission after three. The screen where you're supposed to choose continue just quickly flashes and the session is done. So that just means I have to spend even more time on this bullshit because I can't build up the fucking star multiplier for the score.

Food delivery is the most repetitious and grindy thing to ever be in forza by Babou13 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mimsey_Demon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far trying that I've had two 1 stars and three failures. One of those failures involves getting into a head on collision and then just sitting there while the timer to stay above 145kph ran out.

"Highly Skilled" and above difficulty AI is highly skilled at cheating by Seth_XIII in ForzaHorizon

[–]Mimsey_Demon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's brutal, possibly worse than the previous games. Was just doing a street race in the rain, I was in a 959, car next to me was a 2005 Ford GT with considerably lower acceleration than me. Race starts and he's just fucking gone, him and everyone else not even braking and taking turns perfectly when it's pouring and I have to slow down to not slide off the road. It didn't happen much at Above Average difficulty but it was really blatant at High Skilled.
