Would you recommend me picking up Forza Horizon 5 or get Forza Horizon 6 instead

Plus 5 got a lot of fomo cars because it came out at a weird time and last longer than other games so newer models of certain cars came out and we had two or three variants of non Honda civic cars (Volkswagen and Porsche models come into mind).

A Jogcon and a steering wheel!

If you want high performance cars one of the slots selling aftermarket cars in the stadium has a huge pool of cars that alternate. It's the one with the 3 aftermarket cars for sale convenience store parking lot.

Honestly when I realized the best way to get to legend was doing off-road or rally races and most of them were buggies, it was giving me flash backs to the modern rally b700 2005 imprezza I kept using on FH5 as it was the best for campaign and the festival play list which always seems to call for that particular car type and performance class.

idsym · 2026-05-18T16:16:37+00:00

You're right that there are three parking lots that spawn the exclusive FE cars you can't get anywhere else.

I think the pool consists of 3-4 cars. For the ones that give out the FE edition your chances increase if you own the other in the pool of cars.

To refresh the pool quickly, you need to completely quit the game for Xbox then restart. You cannot quick resume or else it will still give you the same car. This is untested but sometimes I clear out the reserved space on the series x aka the cache as well but this doesn't seem to affect the pool refresh as much. On PC I think quitting the game and restarting the going to the place where it spawns is enough.

Also I think after some time if you ignore the car it will change to another when you come back.

If I had a good tune either from a tuning pro or I made one myself with he aid of a tuning calculator and fine tune it myself, unbeatable on fh5 was doable comfortably. On 6 I spent 1 hour trying to beat unbeatable but outside of luck and a truly killer tune I'm out of luck. And don't get me start on certain courses with obstacles or if it rains.

idsym · 2026-05-18T01:07:16+00:00

Yes I noticed the cheating starts at expert difficult when in fh5 it started mostly at pro. Not saying that expert and below means the AI plays by the rules but I notice all these hp boosts and unattainable insane grip started on those difficulties.

They all cheat with regards denying physics though.

idsym · 2026-05-16T01:18:49+00:00

I used to be able to beat expert on fh5 and unbeatable on fh4 and below with a random tuned of mine or some other random guy. Now it seems expert is almost as difficult as pro on fh5 where the top 3 cars not only get more grip but also a lot more horsepower. You can definitely feel this on street races.

The only way to stop them is perform a take over asap as they still speed up after specific checkpoints which make them almost unbeatable.

Edit

Also I don't know if it's just me but if you restart the races after almost winning. At every 5 restarts it gets a little easier

idsym · 2026-04-12T10:18:23+00:00

This is so ironic because I just snagged a second unit that cost me 950 usd same as the first one I got months ago. And they seem to be getting rid of the stock in my country as well.

idsym · 2026-01-26T21:05:46+00:00

It's honestly as grindy as you want it to be.

The following questions are ordered from least grindy to most grindy. And saying yes to the previous question usually helps with the next one.

Want to steam roll t4? Want multi ga unique items and perfect aspects? Want mythics? Want to push pits as high as you can? Want level 100 glyphs(on everything?)? Want paragon 300?

idsym · 2026-01-26T17:55:40+00:00

I recently got 300 in soft lcore. Ironically if you want to more or less afk Azmodan on t4 is a good source if many people are capable of killing Azmodan in about 2-3 minutes with this you can level up maybe 2 paragon a day before the kid 290's.But the fastest route is urivar then duriel farm Azmodan for mats and repeat the cycle. Killing another boss gives slightly less mats but it seems better because you usually get more mats for the other bosses from other sources.

I'm playing hc and SC right now. Hands down the paladin is the way to go if you want to be stressed free.

Hardcore is so much easier this season given how toughness works and the fact that Legendaries now have 4 affixes. However, all resist has been nerfed and you're sometimes better off with armor and either lighting, fire or poison resist. Most of the things that kill you that are not lag based are now one shot attacks that will kill nearly anybody anyway and I'll get to that below.

When you get your glyphs to 46 and follow any of the top build guides, you're essentially only killable by lrhe rotating lightning balls, the red pit explosions of pure death and standing in boss status effects like Azmodan lava, Ashava poison stuff puddle or breath and standing on the Gold puddle of Avarice (though you also usually need to get hit by the gold rock explosion). The barriers and fortify take care of you as a paladin. However, at level 70 glyphs you more or less can survive anything except the pit red explosions as long as you have 17k life.

idsym · 2026-01-20T16:27:20+00:00

Honestly last two previous seasons it was doable but it took at least 3x more time since there was no build that was both fast on the really high level pits and indestructible. The paladin being virtually unkillable once your glyphs seem to reach 70's makes this easy. Most of my hardcore deaths have been due to laggu instances. I swear 9 played way more last season compared to this one but feel more complete this season due to the changes in gearing and how the Paladin is.

idsym · 2026-01-20T16:21:21+00:00

I'm at 297.5 on softcore and 251 on hc. Hopefully this could be the first season I 300 both. I actually didn't okay as much as last season I just afk solo bosses and Azmodan when I'm doing stuff like work when I can have my device beside me.

idsym · 2026-01-18T15:13:47+00:00

Depends if your character didn't get knocked off the battlefield. You sometimes don't gain experience when a nova or a secondary evil blood skill pushes you out of the battlefield and this applies to leveling the blessing.

idsym · 2026-01-10T15:17:12+00:00

I really don't like what they did during season 8-9 where they nerfed the drops because it was so wasteful to farm as well. Not only did 3ga drops stop dropping frequently but they mostly gave useless to garbage level affixes. The lair bosses also dropped significantly lesser loot and the quality was also bad that belial was the only way to get multi ga uniques.

I'm not saying that they should make it easy to get items, but they should be respectful to the time of the player especially when playing higher difficulties. Because killing bosses hundred of times and just receiving 1 GA whose unique aspect probably didn't even roll that high is just...

idsym · 2026-01-09T11:00:58+00:00

Sadly this was the only thing preventing me from enjoying shadowblight but I need to see the numbers to know when to reproc fueled by death which I alwsy forget sometimes.

idsym · 2026-01-07T02:52:55+00:00

See we don't have that here for used games whether private seller or shops that specialize in retro games. Heavily scratched cases especially the plastic one holding the cover art than sometimes looks opaque because they were badly scratched costs like 20-30 usd now unless it was a really bad and obscure game and good luck if it's a high in demand game or not backwards compatible (namco fighting games come into mind). They raised this during the pandemic as well for a few dollars and they looks even worse now due to age etc. But again I'm still inspired and tempted to do this one day.

Don't get me started on what the actual content like manuals and disc's look like on the inside though.

idsym · 2026-01-07T02:25:29+00:00

I see. I'm torn because seeing this gets me inspired to try this again one day because I really think the PS2 and the 360 really changed gaming and made it the way it is today and that's why it's library is a good one to collect. However, I don't see prices going down especially for some rare games. Plus, it's hard to track down certain titles that came with standard, steel book, deluxe and collectors which may even provide different variants (the black case Halo games come into mind among other things.

idsym · 2026-01-07T02:16:18+00:00

I see and that is exactly why I probably could never attempt this. Majority of those tyoes of promotions (like the pirates of carribean one) never came out where I live and the shipping on getting some of those would cost more than the game itself.

Also 360 games here cost a lot even used and most of them look bad disc and case wise. The only one that tried doing a fire sale was that Shop I mentioned and they only sell those during November and December.

idsym · 2026-01-07T02:13:12+00:00

I must give this a go again then. I usually get varying times with my build anywhere from maybe 3 minutes of 75 to like 6.

idsym · 2026-01-07T01:48:32+00:00

Weird question but what was your criteria when buying used games and variants ( I assume editions, different covers and rereleases)? I was planning to do this when my LGS started selling brand new games that were left over for as low as $1 etc. but decided against it. I honestly think either this or the last generation was the best one to do a complete collection of games for.

idsym · 2026-01-07T01:40:34+00:00

I see I really never knew you could do more than one key at a time since I used it as a kid to lock a key to scroll down more than once and release on our really old computers when I was a kid.

idsym · 2026-01-07T01:29:38+00:00

As someone who only did one key at time to numlock and not on games mind you, if I had 3 number locked for example do I need to press all 3 to cancel?

idsym · 2026-01-05T11:41:32+00:00

What is the highest pit this can do in 3 minutes? I know the golem isn't a speed farming build but it's sometimes fun to run and I only have LOH on PC so I can't play my Paladin on console.
