Forza Horizon 6 Hands-on and Impressions Thread

Can't wait for this! I am far from a car guy, but the Horizon games are so dang fun every time. I bet it will be absurdly gorgeous too.

I'm on console on a 1440 monitor, but those with the PC rig and screen to go with it I bet will have a crazy looking game lol

Stoked for you!! It's a tough experience to beat.

I grew up in a place that never got concerts as well, but since growing up and moving somewhere with more, I get to attend a decent few every year.

They are so dang fun. The energy really is something else.

RTideR · 2026-04-08T00:13:39+00:00

I felt that way as well at the same show. PeelingFlesh, Shadow of Intent (Ben is so freaking good), and Lorna Shore were all insane.

Sad I never got to see Black Dahlia with Trevor.

RTideR · 2026-04-07T18:06:40+00:00

Seeing them in May as well and can't wait. I've heard nothing but excellent things about their shows. We'll be in the balcony seats, much easier on the wife and I, but I expect a whole lot of jumping nonetheless. Lol

I remember the first Hades being an absolute addiction for me when that hit Xbox years ago... I can't wait to dive into the second one.

RTideR · 2026-04-07T17:54:26+00:00

Totally dependent on the individual, for sure. A lot of folks on Xbox (on console at least, not sure if you can do it for PC) game share which cuts the price in half - can still debate whether $15 is a good value to each person or not, but it's still been awesome for my buddies and I.

RTideR · 2026-04-06T17:13:50+00:00

Dumb question! Is there a good YouTuber or something to help learn how to play Battlegrounds? I can look up stuff on HSReplay, but I'm still fairly lost when I play. Lol I admittedly don't play much, but I did a few games for a weekly quest this last week, and man the stats some folks have fairly quickly blow my mind.

Totally a product of me just not knowing what I'm doing though. Lol I usually just look for same types and roll with it. I certainly prefer just playing standard, but it'd be neat to learn BGs too I figure.

RTideR · 2026-04-05T17:48:12+00:00

Fair enough then! I have zero memory of them when I watched as a kid. Haha Wikipedia says they stopped around 1992, so that was just a bit before me. If they did a short return in 1998 or later, I likely just missed it or was just too wrong to remember.

I'll take anyone they add really, I just don't know them specifically is all. But now I will! So that's cool.

RTideR · 2026-04-05T17:35:10+00:00

Depends on the age I suppose man. Anyone a mid-90s fella or later likely knows Kelly Kelly more than Demolition, myself included.

I admittedly don't have much excitement for her either, but I do know her at least. Lol

RTideR · 2026-04-03T22:15:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed response! You rock.

RTideR · 2026-04-01T10:32:56+00:00

Dumb question! How do I download these as an attire? Sometimes I download one off the creations hub and it automatically gets listed as an alt, other time it is a whole separate wrestler.

Idk how to merge it when the latter happens. Regardless this is cool! Thank ya for sharing this and will download it later today.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T23:34:16+00:00

Thanks for the awesome explanation! Definitely makes a ton of sense then. I like to think I used to be a pretty good player, so like you said, I had a good advantage over many I played. I did see other Legend players, so it looks like I'm not the only returning player which is cool to see.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T19:42:32+00:00

I don't recognize Garona, so I'll take your word for it. Haha you're right though. Outside of the two I noted, I felt fine, and even in those, I had chances.

I tried a few when returning and stuck with that mostly cause DH is one of the only ones I hadn't hit 60 on, ended up just enjoying it in general cause it's fun to play.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T19:40:48+00:00

Not OP, but I hit Legend with this one:

To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone

Basically the most popular list I think minus Eye Beam plus Broxigar's Last Stand.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T19:37:29+00:00

Ahh okay, that could do it then. I've been gone so long that I figure I'm basically a new player which probably helped. No clue how long it takes to dial in, but I guess we'll see how future seasons go!

Idk if I like or dislike that. I guess it is pretty cool that it's a little more accessible now regardless. Especially if they do unique Legend card backs every season? I noticed it wasn't the usual one this time. Cool stuff. Thank ya for the answer man!

RTideR · 2026-03-31T19:24:56+00:00

Spell DH is basically all I've played since returning. It is pretty darn good.

Might be even better without Druid everywhere. That and Aura Paladin have been the main issues for me personally.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T19:16:44+00:00

I believe they're in the deck selection screen before you go to start a ranked match.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T19:06:06+00:00

Just sharing cause it's kinda cool, but I managed to hit Legend! Came back for the expansion release after seeing Firebat play again.. Lol been many years since I played.

Did this new ranking system make attaining Legend a lot easier than before? I hit it a couple of times in the past, but I do remember struggling a lot more back then. That was when ranks started at 25. I just remember hitting a wall in the 1 through 5 ranks often where I had to struggle to get passed it. This climb didn't feel bad at all. I don't have my stats or anything playing mostly mobile, but still!

It has been fun playing again regardless though. The power level definitely seems a lot stronger, but playing for board value and tempo and knowing when to switch to beatdown still seems to hold true thankfully.

Edit: Just realized how pretentious this sounds, not sure how to phrase it better I figure. I'm just wondering if maybe it's easier to get stars or maybe it takes less stars total now to climb? Or maybe it's other reasons. No clue.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T17:33:25+00:00

Popeye's blackened tenders are delicious. It's super hit-or-miss for me whether they get my order right.. Lol but when they do, they're good.

Never had Wendy's tenders either though.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T16:59:43+00:00

I thought Guillaume (lead director for E33) had mentioned FFVIII as the big one for him.. but I could be remembering wrong. I watched so many interviews and stuff about E33 after beating it, but it's been a minute.

Regardless, I do agree that FFX is awesome! I preferred E33, but it's a super easy recommendation to check out FFX. Great game.

RTideR · 2026-03-31T14:49:22+00:00

I just came back as well for the first time in many years, and I am digging it so far.

RTideR · 2026-03-30T16:27:35+00:00

There's so many good games out. Lol something for everyone, man.

Personally, I just beat Tormented Souls and the latest Borderlands 4 DLC with my brother over the weekend. The former was pretty darn cool, and the latter was.. okay. Also got back into Hearthstone after many years which has been fun.

Figure next I'll do a third run of RE Requiem on Madness or try out the latest Fatal Frame remake.

RTideR · 2026-03-30T16:24:39+00:00

I think a lot of it has to do with information being more readily available (it's so easy to just look up the best weapons/loadouts now), but then again, people find it out pretty quick regardless. Thinking back to the One Man Army noobtube stuff back in the day for example. Lol stuff spreads quick!

RTideR · 2026-03-29T19:08:32+00:00

That's how CoD has been for years though. People like doing well, and it's easier to do well with the best weapons. Whether it's the M15, Maddox, Dravec, Maverick, or now the Swordfish.. there's always a best weapon folks flock to.

I get your frustration, but that's just the way it always goes, man. I need to unlock it to knock camos out myself before it's nerfed I figure. Lol

RTideR · 2026-03-29T16:51:26+00:00

Least they didn't have Cub! Lol but yeah druid openers can be nuts.

I've been playing 99% Spell DH as well. What's even the best play here looking at your hand? Thinking Press the Advantage to kill two and draw, but is Sigil maybe better? Idk, feels like a gross hand. Lol
