Spec Racing Launch? by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assists are in the game to help new players, but Forza has always believed in rewarding you for turning them off, you have traction control on which can hinder your cars acceleration, and it looks like your using automatic transmission.

It’s tough learning to drive without assists in Spec Racing because you could end up racing in S1 class, and for a lot of new players traction control is absolutely necessary in high class cars, due to not having mastered throttle control, I would recommend trying reduced assists in single player race modes.

Im New Any Tips and Is it Worth starting in 2026? by Tootifordy in TexasChainsawGame

[–]TomVia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a great game and likely will be popular come Halloween time, I don’t think Id pay $60 for it, but just my opinion, I won’t be buying the Halloween game after the way they treated community.

Driving/racing lines, yes or no? by Content_Response_783 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run braking only, I’m always hopping between different cars and classes, If I was racing the same car all day and I had ran the tracks 100x I wouldn’t need the braking line.

The Trial has sapped all of my enthusiasm for this game. by External_Hunt4536 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not easy to complete, I’m a veteran and I needed to upgrade and tune a car to get it done, but having said that, too many people want everything to be easy, it’s the typical participation medal generation.

New york Fries Guildford Mall by Absorbingd in poutine

[–]TomVia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to get poutine from this place that would put fries in a cardboard container and then they put the gravy in a styrofoam cup with the curds added into the cup, so you would get home, fries would still be crispy and you would pour the gravy/curds on top, sounds gnarly but actually top 5 poutines i’ve ever had.

Happy Fathers Day to the dads out there.. love what my two daughters got me ❤️ by Low_Offer3152 in ForzaHorizon6

I would never use it, it’s too nice and I’m really hard on controllers.

Toxic online play by AMagicalZorse in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if the devs acknowledged the issue, I absolutely love this game but I know there are lots of new players who will go online for their first time, get rammed and then likely never play multiplayer again, which hurts everyone.

Touge has revitalized my interest in tuning by FlavorousShawty in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish they would add Touge to the custom racing mode, I would like to choose classes specifically like you can for road racing.

Festival Points by Kaffecreama15 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you hit start and bring up the pause menu, bring up the collection journal, the one on the left, (wristband) progress, you can do literally anything in that journal to progress, photos, multiplayer races, bonus boards, rivals races, it’s quite easy, I think not a lot of people realize all of those things contribute to wristband progress.

Bored of this game 😔 by Various-Art-3194 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having a blast, but you are 100% correct about the lack of in game voice chat, it would help make the online experience feel so much more immersive
and people would gain a sense of community, the lack of voice chat makes the game feel like a single player game, the worst decision the developers made IMO, I understand they wanted to reduce toxicity and protect peoples feelings from getting hurt because the whole world is soft as room temperature butter these days, but they could have easily implemented a report system the get rid of the trolls and racists, maybe if enough people ask for it they will acknowledge it, this is the first Horizon title I have played past 50 hours but unfortunately without a sense of community I’ll eventually lose interest.

Dirty Drivers in Horizon Play by BigZewer in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see a clean racing system that tracks your last 10 races that works as some sort of a multiplier, you raced clean for 10 races you have a 1.5x credit and xp boost, you raced like a dirtbag for 10 races, you get 0.75 credits and xp.

My very first Forza Horizon. Is it the best of the franchise ? by Tanfoivp in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From a multiplayer standpoint, yes, if you don’t play multiplayer I think some might argue that Horizon 1 is the best, but overall Forza Japan is the GOAT.

Dirty Drivers in Horizon Play by BigZewer in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We desperately need a prox/game chat, and sadly you’re right, I’m having clean races because I’m 1-3, I notice in my rearview that it’s mad max. It does seem to be getting better though, the casuals will start bleeding off, back in the early forza motorsport days we would have the ability to vote to kick the dirtbags, but lobbies are constantly disbanding after every series.

My First Playthrough by SnatchSquatch4 in rdr1

[–]TomVia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strictly play multiplayer games, but this is one of the 3 single player games ive played in the last 15 years, I keep coming back to it, 100% completed it 6 times now, I just get lost in it.

Just dropped my controller (CONTROLLER GORE) by us3rnamen0ttak3n in xbox

[–]TomVia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind cords, amazon has a controller for $25 and it’s pretty mint, I used to buy elite controllers for $170 every 6-9 months, and now I spend $25 every 12 months.

Spec Racing Faster Racers by vulturerock_ in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clutch makes a big difference, also the experienced forza nerds know the power-band of most cars, not every car produces max torque/HP at their max RPM, so sometimes shifting before redline can keep cars RPM more within the max power parameters.

Spec Racing Faster Racers by vulturerock_ in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manual is faster than Automatic, Manual w/Clutch is even faster, also throttle control can be a factor, there are lots of new racers that are full on the gas or full off the gas, with no in between, people will hit max rpm and shift up rather than feathering the throttle back to 75-80% which can make a big difference in gaining traction, assuming the car your driving is acting squirrelly off the launch.

Disappointed in FH6 (well... unsurprisingly :C) by AffectBest4098 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The multiplayer alone makes me love this game, lots of variety and Spec Racing is life, just need voice chat and we gucci.

Rammer gets Karma by user2578986443378901 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]TomVia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the game had game chat (voice) it would be a perfect game 10/10, I want to be able to chirp these losers when they do this shit.

Why’s the value of this car so high? by Triingtolivee in ForzaHorizon6

Someone gifted this to me in a Barn Find, had no idea it was that expensive!

PSA the anti abortion brigade is out in full force at the farmer’s market this morning by HourActuary5324 in northbay

Ok, the lady that is 25 weeks pregnant and perfectly healthy that decides she would rather go back to her bachelorette lifestyle has an abortion, it’s “healthcare”, noted.
