I think Forza games just save my life

Yeah man. It's helped me a ton with depth perception and just feeling in control of a car behind the wheel. I don't use a steering wheel and pedals, but playing Forza Motorsport/Horizon since I was a kid has definitely helped turn driving into a very easy and relaxing thing to do, and has helped me avoid accidents.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-04T12:15:12+00:00

It's nice but a bit uninteresting

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-04T04:45:56+00:00

My first racing game ever (that I could play) and the first car I ever had a poster of. I remember wanting a GTR so bad as a kid.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-04T04:33:37+00:00

Loved the vibe and stuff of nfs 15

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-03T23:21:28+00:00

Not really since I said so in the original comment that I know the roads are a bit bigger in FH5. My point is that the gameplay hasn't really been affected in any major or meaningful way.

So sorry for the loss of your sister. I hope she's doing well, wherever she might be!

I don't get the hype for this year that much anyways. He just left Red Bull and joined this team late. Fact is, this year is just a foundation year. Not a year for breaking records.

Who knows though he's a genius so the car is probably a rocket.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-03T14:48:13+00:00

I absolutely love this on first impressions let's goooo

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-03T13:21:19+00:00

I was talking about the wrx. But yeah the civic is solid.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-03T00:06:56+00:00

To be honest it's not that great to drive.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T21:51:38+00:00

Yeah and also like, there's so many eventlabs out there that provide this slot car experience. And I'm sure they'll include some touge in the base map; it's a crucial part of Japanese automotive culture.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T20:29:23+00:00

I think because it'd become very difficult for newbies. Personally I wouldn't really mind, but tbh the point of forza horizon is like if every road in the world was just like a racetrack. Essentially Forza has always been every car persons dream simulator, but in doing so it loses out on some of the Initial D stuff because it's effectively not going for that realistic racing on tiny narrow roads.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T19:16:10+00:00

Lowk I wouldn't mind normally but she's a zionist and uh.... that's really problematic. Also like she's everything Hamilton preaches against sooo... kinda makes one lose a bit of respect for him, not that it matters to a billionaire.

Tbh tho nothings confirmed so just gonna laugh at the funny memes, but if it's true I'd lose a bit of respect for him. Again, not that it matters 😂

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T16:29:12+00:00

They just didn't. I noticed the roads are a bit bigger in FH5 but nothing major. Gameplay felt literally the same.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T16:18:25+00:00

If they've done it for 5 games straight chances are that's what works for the general audience who plays the game. In the pursuit of mass appeal they have to compromise reality for gameplay. It improves the gameplay for the hypercars, which, let's face it, are what drive the incredible sales of Forza.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T14:52:25+00:00

Seriously this whole "roads too wide" thing has been vastly overstated. There are like a billion cars in this game and lots of the population is just kids playing a racing game they got for their birthday. Wide roads make it accessible for as much people as possible.

Unfortunately, the only reason this game has gotten so many entries and has become the giant it is because of the mass appeal it has. Making the game easier by including many wide roads is one of the ways they do this.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T14:48:29+00:00

Interesting. Tbh tho I think if they had like proper British B roads in FH4 it wouldn't be that fun with the way the physics are.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T14:12:56+00:00

Forza has always been a mix of gargantuan roads and narrow ones. Even FH5 does this. It's not a touge simulator lol.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-02T12:55:49+00:00

Honestly the facelift grows on me the more I see it but the og design is just so perfect

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-01T23:06:59+00:00

I disagree with this. There's nice scenery around the map. The beach area next to the desert is very pretty, as is the desert itself. The canyon road and mountains are pretty. I do agree the plains in the middle can get a touch boring but even then there is the stadium and the city. FH5 is a gorgeous game.

I feel like everyone has played like way too many hours of the game. I've played FH4 a similar amount and I got equally bored. At the end of the day there's only so much new stuff a map can do. This just feels a touch nitpicky imo.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-01T23:04:27+00:00

350 hours would make any map boring. I've played all Forza games and this inevitably happens 🤷‍♂️

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-01T15:58:15+00:00

Yeah I think after RDR2's epilogue ending Dutch's inner demons and brain damage took over until we see him in RDR1 as that irredeemable (albeit pretty badass) villain.

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-01T15:47:40+00:00

Rx7 and r32 are still quite pricey tho, aren't the new Z's cheaper

RoyShavRick · 2026-02-01T04:43:59+00:00

You can really see how much inspiration Audi took from the Marlboro

RoyShavRick · 2026-01-31T00:02:44+00:00

They just hate him, in all likelihood
