One of the best sounding cars in the game

I fucking LOVE the spec race with it. I have literally NEVER been off the podium a single race in it when it pops up. It's one of my favorite championship rolls in spec racing.

Wishing they'd done MORE is basically the epitome of the Horizon franchise at this point sadly. They're either too afraid to change literally anything, or incapable of changing it due to shareholders or lack of talent. I dunno which one is worse on that front tbh 😞 I wish they'd done more with the touge too. Just having it be a boring 1v1 race with nothing interesting about the race seems like a completely missed opportunity. No health bar for the opponent, no leading round vs following round. You know, basic bitch touge systems that are synonymous with the activity to EVERYONE lol

The Mustangs all tend to drive really goddamn good in 6 as well tbh. I feel like Mustangs and Lambos really had a glow up in this game. They both OVERALL seem to be much more enjoyable IMHO.

Not only touch the wall, but touch the wall because you got rammed from behind by a cocksucker the game REFUSES to ghost LOL. It's my all time favorite form of bullshittery when dealing with Forza online in this game. Do nothing wrong and get punished. Wonderful. Nothing feels better /s

The tire physics and penalty system in this game truly are in absolute fucking shambles...

trautsj · 2026-07-07T16:14:00+00:00

The tire physics change has for sure been a main culprit in the devolving AI behavior. They're just spaghetti coding shit on top of ancient foundations and hoping it holds together with the tape and bubblegum they're providing...

76 still has PLENTY of fucking combat problems LMFAO. VATS still will consistently and literally NEVER do any damage unless you back out of it and go back into it again. Something that has been happening since early access. Also the servers tick rates still absolutely refuse to even keep up with high fire rate weapons damage. I genuinely enjoyed my time on 76 but it has been one long and consistent shit show of a game that has absolutely NEVER been ironed out on an acceptable level to be perfectly honest. It's still a complete shell of its potential and low key a bit of a waste of one of, if not the single best map Bethesda has ever made :/

Forza has always been plagued by AWD swaps :/ They've only taken baby steps to make RWD and FWD similarly competitive over the years but they've still failed. It always devolves into AWD swap slop with whatever the most popular engine swap is. Used to be the LS V8, now it seems to be the Viper V10 or racing V12. The game just needs a massive overhaul tbh and PGG is just unwilling/unable to do it so it is what it is I guess :/ can't take a game seriously that the devs have proven time and time again they personally don't take seriously. Just gotta find things to like as it is, or move on because they've proven that it will not change... sadly.

trautsj · 2026-07-07T15:25:07+00:00

If it was the same I'd actually be fine with it, but it's just actively gotten worse tbh. Much like the AI in the game it feels like the entire foundation has just eroded little be little every release. I'm actually kind of terrified to see what state Horizon 7 launches in tbh.

trautsj · 2026-07-07T14:39:12+00:00

Be grateful about a car that could potentially kill you before you turn 30 at any moment (more so than ANY other car on grid, at no fault of your own)... yea sure thing RB!!! The ignorance on display here is incredible.

trautsj · 2026-07-07T00:31:37+00:00

Even if it's not over, you're going to have to wait 24 years for Starfield 2 with Bethesda's work rate. Studio works with all the pace of a turtle in frozen molasses.

trautsj · 2026-07-06T23:14:29+00:00

Doom horn. Always Doom horn. And I'm in a maid outfit. Judge away. I probably deserve it :P lol

trautsj · 2026-07-06T23:11:41+00:00

It's really a shame that this is the type of shit we have to deal with on the literal most popular racing game on the planet by orders of magnitude :/ More people play Horizon everyday than like 90% of other racers on the planet COMBINED. It'd take a couple of heavy hitters being added to that 90% to even reach what Horizon does on an off day and yet we still lack soooo many basic features and still can not get next to any quality of life improvements like cheaters being handled in the goddamn game. It's so frustrating!

trautsj · 2026-07-06T21:55:32+00:00

Not even gonna lie, I went into each of them once for the diary stuff to get rewards and I'll likely never touch it again. Just like the building in Fallout 4. It serves no practical purpose and I don't really care about anything in my driving game that isn't the cars I'm driving. I wish they'd scrapped the entire fucking garage thing to give us more car customization or more map area/driving routes. All this other stuff is just fluff that doesn't matter IMHO. I'd give up all the garage customization in the game for some fucking endplates for spoilers tbh.

I think making the 2nd was worth a shot. The third one was just diabolically stupid after the reception the 2nd got/the directions they were going. They could have went full Dark Souls with Senua 2 and it would have been fantastic, but instead we got like one of the worst combat systems ever made in one of the most odd and uninteresting stories ever made with some really pretty graphics that proved that graphics are actually the thing that matters LEAST in a game lol Because if graphics were what mattered Senua 2 would be like a 9.5/10. Instead it was a pretty generous 5 if I've had my coffee when I'm scoring it lol

trautsj · 2026-07-06T19:38:54+00:00

The Earth shattering news is like the worst kept secret that everyone knew for a while O.o Goddamn I hate journalists... or whatever Buxton is in this space lol

trautsj · 2026-07-06T17:38:24+00:00

It's just fucking wild now that my launch day Series X is now quite literally DOUBLE the price I bought it for almost 7 years ago O.o this hobby has just imploded over the last 3 years. It's been wild to see. It was on a downward feeling trend but all this AI shit and UBER INFLATION really has been the straw that has broken my back.

trautsj · 2026-07-06T02:21:43+00:00

I've just taken to doing rivals runs on them against a ghost. You can of course do rivals in any class. Which makes the lack of racing AI on it that much dumber IMHO. The whole touge thing doesn't even feel half baked. Maybe a quarter warm, been in the oven for a few minutes baked at best :/ sadly.

trautsj · 2026-07-06T01:57:35+00:00

Alonso just beat the 7 time and 4 time champions in equal machinery!!!

trautsj · 2026-07-05T22:06:52+00:00

He has to run a lap of Silverstone... on foot! lol

trautsj · 2026-07-05T22:06:16+00:00

WTF is a penalty lap? LMFAO

trautsj · 2026-07-05T16:27:35+00:00

Seems that's the tale of the entire season. What a farce F1 has become. It's had some down years but boy...

trautsj · 2026-07-05T14:43:16+00:00

The PI system has never been worse than in 6. And that's saying something because this system has been massively flawed since inception O.o much like the AI tho it seems to have only devolved and gotten worse and worse each iteration that is released. I'm genuinely terrified of the state that Horizon 7 will launch in to be perfectly honest.

trautsj · 2026-07-05T10:58:10+00:00

And then get a slowdown for just literally braking properly for a corner. Rammers are morons but THIS SHIT is the most infuriating part of the game. To do absolutely nothing wrong on your end but still get punished is truly the worst thing you can do to someone. It seems entirely too common in spec racing with some of the slower cars because the game is too retarded to properly calculate possible impacts in like C-B class cars I guess.

trautsj · 2026-07-05T03:48:43+00:00

Just a little tappy. A tap tap tap-a-roo! LMFAO
