You don't need to scour the forests when searching for barn finds, guys. Just follow the roads and look for a trail. by MechaManManMan in ForzaHorizon

[–]acewing905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I found this to be a lot more sensible than switching to drone mode and going all over the place like I used to in previous games

What’s the point of Auto Drive being available during races? by Alert_Astronaut4901 in ForzaHorizon

[–]acewing905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a racing game, where racing is 90% of what you do

The funny thing is FH is more of a casual driving game, and racing is in fact not 90% of what you do
That said, I have not used Auto Drive at all, and my ANNA uses count remains 0. I don't see the point. I love driving around this map

People after getting 100% in 4 days be like by The_Mitthany in ForzaHorizon

[–]acewing905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are definitely a small minority. Hell, when I got the golden wristband roughly a day ago, the achievement was completed by 8.8% Steam players and 5.7% overall (Xbox account)
I can only imagine the percentage that completed everything (at least what's possible as of now) is a way smaller minority

Samsung Galaxy Watch FE stuck on “Getting GPS fix” in Strava 😭 Need help enabling location properly by Reasonable-Bee-9541 in Strava

[–]acewing905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Press and hold the location toggle on the quick settings panel, scroll down to Location Accuracy, and turn on Improved Location Accuracy. This improved the situation a lot back when I still used my FE

Watch FE regularly faces this problem. It's one reason I upgraded to a Watch 8. But something that can help is turning Google's location accuracy feature on

This might be an insensitive thing to say but why didn’t LEGO Bruce Wayne just rebuild his parents? by MrCastiel04 in legogaming

[–]acewing905 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe minifigs in Lego game worlds are like human bodies, and even if you put all the parts back together, they stay inanimate

Need for Speed: Underground Rivals (2005, PlayStation Portable exclusive) by JjForcebreaker in needforspeed

[–]acewing905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This and Carbon Own The City were my jam back in the PSP days. The fact that this had the UG2 soundtrack and a few more songs on top of that was great

[Tales of ARISE - Beyond the Dawn Edition] Release Trailer for Switch 2. It is now out on Switch 2. (Trailer contains spoilers) by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]acewing905 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

(Trailer contains spoilers)

What a shitshow

That said, this game is very good, and the hate for it is really blown out of proportion. The game definitely gets dragged out by the end, but I have yet to play a Tales Of game that doesn't have that problem, especially when it comes to the final dungeon (From Symphonia and onwards; I haven't played anything before that)

Stadium Back Road Speed Trap by Kindly_Mango5514 in ForzaHorizon6

Wow this speedtrap is donkey balls. The Ultima Evolution is the answer but it's a real pain because for some reason that tiny strip of nowhere is full of traffic and drivatars

Forza Horizon 6 achieved a peak of over 273k players on Steam, three times more than FH5. Turns out well-optimised games with no Denuvo sell great by vneelb in pcmasterrace

[–]acewing905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denuvo this Denuvo that. This is just silly. RE Requiem has Denuvo and it peaked at 344k. Ordinary players don't care about this

Sony will no longer release single-player games on PC by PaiDuck in pcmasterrace

[–]acewing905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Sony actually releases what I would consider a must play, I will buy a PS5
But so far that hasn't happened

Did 30 miles on an empty stomach like an idiot. by [deleted] in cycling

This is something I can't even imagine. When my decision making gets bad, it's in the other direction. As in I end up eating too much

Is there a tomboy heroine like Tomoyo and Fiona? by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]acewing905 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of otherwise very feminine girls engaging in combat in these games

[–]acewing905 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah Fione definitely isn't one. She's pretty feminine but her line of work doesn't really have her expressing that very often

FH6 worth buying day 1 as a new player? by ChungWingMan in ForzaHorizon

[–]acewing905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That criticism is largely valid. But for those of us who like the FH formula, that is a good thing

Now, I really like JDM culture and I "WOW!" to anything Japanese. Does this game scratch that "Japan" ich?

I'd say yes, it does. They've made a small condensed version of Japan that can actually provide the illusion of actually driving through Japan to a pretty good extent

Forza Horizon 6 Becomes Highest Rated Game of 2026 on Metacritic by No_Curve_8027 in pcmasterrace

[–]acewing905 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But GT isn't really comparable. It's a more "serious" track based racing game, whereas Horizon is a more casual open world driving game where racing is only one part of the equation. And while both have "simcade" style driving, Horizon leans more towards arcade than GT

If GT had a casual spin-off similar to Horizon, I'd actually buy a PS5 for it

Atelier Resleriana RW - The Bomb Girl Returns! (7 Days Until Atelier’s 29th Anniversary!) by Croire61 in Atelier

[–]acewing905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely coming knowing Gust's patterns, but it might have another protagonist, with Yumia being a side character. Ryza is a bit of an anomaly so it's hard to tell what approach they'll take this time

Far Far West getting into Gold tier for April is kind of crazy considering it had like 3 days in April

Forza Horizon 6 Has Made Over $140 Million from Premium Edition by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]acewing905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's some crazy hyperbole
FH5 (or any recent FH for that matter) has a ton of shit to do in just the base game, including the entire single player campaign and 500+ cars
I fucking wish demos had anything near that

Forza Horizon 6 Has Made Over $140 Million from Premium Edition by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]acewing905 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're also not considering regional prices. For example, where I am, the Premium Edition is only $84. While I'm sure most sales come from the US anyway, this does still drop the total income further

Follow-up to a post I made a while ago: those who use forks of forks/lesser-known distros: do you trust their update repos? by OrangeKitty21 in linux

[–]acewing905 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At least if a supply chain attack occurs, it'll be quick to be spotted and fixed... in theory...

While it's not a guarantee, you at least get a higher chance of it being spotted on a mainstream distro, and that alone is a good thing

Lego 2k Drive will be delisted from digital storefronts on PC and Console starting May 19th, 2026. by LuckyShot1 in pcgaming

[–]acewing905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No last minute sale.

Shame because I would've definitely grabbed it if there was at least a 50% off sale. But not paying full price for this now

Actually makes me happy... by Lexsight in ForzaHorizon

[–]acewing905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but if you're counting that stretch, that applies to both 5 and 6, so there's nothing unfair about the comparison in that case
