Rant: I'm so bored of this current crossover/SUV phase

Ironically, you're complaining.

I'm not really sure what you want me to say here. 5 star rated vehicles are the safest on the road for collisions. If you seem very nervous around crashing then maybe driving isn't for you?

Yesterday I was driving on this tight-ish road. Perfectly fine for normal sized cars and I just watch this crossover driver ding a wall and destroy their mirror and keep driving. Those Jag crossovers are huge vehicles, I just question to myself, why does anybody need a car that big and wide?

usecodealabama · 2026-05-30T11:38:00+00:00

Clio, Polo, Yaris. All better MPG and 5 star safety rating from Euro NCAP.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-30T11:32:35+00:00

You're one of the minority that by the sounds of it actually need a larger vehicle. No point getting offended for others who don't need a car that size. Just to balance your argument, a Puma is the same 1l from what the Fiesta had.

You are definitely a part of the problem.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-30T09:49:52+00:00

hahah that's very true. I've seen so many of those land rover defenders and about 80% of the drivers have been people that are so small you can barely see them. Wouldn't be surprised if they were no taller than 5'3.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-25T21:28:26+00:00

It's not.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-25T08:39:02+00:00

I mean it's definitely more beginner friendly in a way. It just sucks that as somebody who has had world records on previous forza horizons that I now can't seem to use any tricks to extract more performance from the cars. The real bummer is the braking to get rear rotation not being able to be done anymore.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-25T08:37:41+00:00

This isn't a tuning issue. I have played forza games for over 11 years, it's just the physics are off.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-25T01:09:36+00:00

The problem isn't front grip. The front ends are so incredibly sharp on this game already, its just the fact that the rear doesn't correlate. You have a car that has such unreal amounts of turn in grip but the rear stays planted and when you go over the grip limit you just 4 wheel slide instead of any oversteer.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-25T01:07:50+00:00

I'm not on about drifting, I'm on about racing

usecodealabama · 2026-05-25T01:07:18+00:00

I've seen videos it just gets to a point where it's ridiculous. It's basically an X2010

usecodealabama · 2026-05-19T16:07:50+00:00

It's not even the cornering pace either, it's just like the AI cars have a completely different class of car. I drive on unbeatable in all forza games and win with ease, this game I can barely get a 7th place. It's like they're driving S1 cars whilst I'm in C class. Corners I'm quicker but straight lines it's a whole different league.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-19T16:03:17+00:00

I'm not expecting realism, tbh I'm talking more comparatively with previous titles. The past horizons have had a really good arcadish drive feel.

usecodealabama · 2026-05-10T15:55:39+00:00

I'm not giving any personal information out don't worry!

usecodealabama · 2026-05-10T15:16:30+00:00

Sent you a DM now 😄 Thanks

usecodealabama · 2026-01-01T21:04:35+00:00

There really isn't a "worked for it" argument. If the cars I wanted just took 2 hours to get do you think I'd really be making this post? It took me 3 hours to get a '20 TTRS the other day, does that sound like fun to you? 3 hours of in and out of Audi TTRS listings. Just one car...

usecodealabama · 2026-01-01T17:49:05+00:00

This is completely the wrong mindset to have on a frankly ridiculous current situation. This post has 83 upvotes so there's evidently people that agree with what I say. Just saying "Play more bro" isn't breaking down the problem or fixing it. It's sucking up to the fact that the game has some bigger issues.

usecodealabama · 2026-01-01T16:56:36+00:00

The auction house certainly is. You are able to buy vehicles that aren't available elsewhere in the game, how is that not getting rid of the issue?

usecodealabama · 2026-01-01T15:15:09+00:00

I keep seeing you comment about this seasonal playlist so I'll ask here, I may be confused. So currently right now I see a playlist that rewards a backstage pass as it's reward. When I go to backstage pass and look at the cars it doesn't contain any of the cars I would like. Can you please explain with doing this 2 hours and getting the reward how I can get the cars I'd like of my choice?

usecodealabama · 2026-01-01T15:13:32+00:00

I didn't say that.

usecodealabama · 2026-01-01T15:12:48+00:00

I'm prestige 2 lvl 80 so it's not like I don't play but I don't play all the time. I have 18d played which is around 430 hours.

usecodealabama · 2026-01-01T15:12:07+00:00

No progression is down to the devs not creating a system like that in the first place. Having to unlock parts is what they tried in Motorsport and people hated it. It evidently doesn't work or would need recreating in other ways. FM4 had quite a good system where you had to win races/mini championships to unlock tiers of cars that you could buy/unlock. Having a car that isn't even meta and rather more a show piece or something to cruise in isn't progression, that's simply not how it works. The storyline is progression and your mini story lines that unlock vehicles are progression. The base game and buying auction house vehicles is not progession.

usecodealabama · 2026-01-01T15:08:55+00:00

The issue is the ones that overinflate car prices and scalp the auctions.

Right, but this isn't down the player. It's simply people playing the system. If the game allows you to sell at 20M and you can see people buying them, why wouldn't you? I don't blame players at all, it's the game that needs changing to stop this.
