Forza Horizon 2 General Discussion Thread

[doctorrg]

I'm wondering, how big a percentage of the time you guys are cruising with this game? Seeing the landscapes and the cars are so stunning, i think i would drive around respecting the speed limit

All depending on my mood, but I've enjoyed quite a bit of cruising. Particularly along the coast, even with regular photo stops.

Since my wheel broke I hardly played Horizon 2 at all. Missing it, but I simply have zero fun with the controller.

I hope for your sake that you are talking about the 360 version, and not that one of those expensive next gen wheels broke on you already

Wasn't game to get one of those expensive next gen wheels just yet, particularly after doing some reading, it's my cheapo Thrustmaster 458 Spider that broke.

I like finding parking lots and doing cars and coffee.

You mean where you park in the online world and compare your rides to others no? Is that nicely done?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

No, regular offline parking lots with "traffic" parked in other spots.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I'm for now focusing on the racing. I'm at the moment plowing through the championships once again. I just feel pressured to get them done for some reason. Though, I did some driving around a couple times to try out the cars I've acquired. I still haven't driven everything in my garage, but I definitely will.

lucky striked! my 15 straight wheelspin video.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Anyone wanna make this?

 

[Xilor]

Bit disappointed that you can't drop Bentley's W12 in the Golf R to recreate the GTI W12-650. Still I managed to tune mine to a 3sec 0-60 time, going to surprise quite a lot of people online.

 

[Populuxe]

I've been doing a bit of online race challenges at the car meets lately. I'll take a D500 car and race against all the kids in their S1, S2, X999 cars, and 2 out of 3 times, I win. The game gives a handicap to less powerful cars, and that is usually all I need to win. But it needs to be maxed out to the class. In other words, the game treats D100 and D500 the same, so the D100 will never win. But if you take a C501, the D500 will get a huge advantage. If I take a D500 and run a clean, smart race, I will usually win. The money and the experience points are good, too.

 

[Wolfe]

Wow, I never would have guessed that would work. In FH1, I used to drive an S700 car against R-class competitors in unrestricted lobbies, or occasionally an A600 car on a tight circuit.

 

[ClydeYellow]

Could give it a try, but I'm quite sure it can't be matched perfectly, like most Maziora color shift paints. Fo' shame.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

Ok, learning the hard way that in the Off Road Championship.. The Hummers pretty much get owned by the Land Rover Defenders.. even when tuned to the max >.<

 

[nick98]

I thought the Jeep Wrangler was the best Off-Road class car, but the Defender's performances quickly quelled my argument. Now I always use a Defender with a "Carabinieri" livery in this class. X)

 

[UKMikey]

I was surprised at how well the Defender handles. I tried to drive a Range Rover in FM4 and it handled horribly badly for me like a boat on wheels so I guess I avoided the Landy because of brand association.

I wonder if it's mine's I'm running low on livery ideas lately...

This guy was AFK offline so I desided to crush him

 

[Heldenzeit]

Finished up to Bucket List #30 last night. Man, that '65 Mini challenge took longer than expected.

Wait... you can use keyboards with Forza?!

 

[UKMikey]

Yeah, I was also wondering if it should be AFP (away from pad) instead but:

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

I said afk because he wasn't moving at all even when I pushed him to the spot where I took the picture.

 

[doctorrg]

Anyone else got two Huracan gifted? Already had it too, so now I've got three.

Finished up to Bucket List #30 last night. Man, that '65 Mini challenge took longer than expected.

What's that reward you're getting for doing it this month?

 

[UKMikey]

I already had a Huracàn too but they sent me an extra three. Crazy huh?

 

[Im_Lukas]

What's that reward you're getting for doing it this month?

If you're referring to completing the new bucket list this month you get 500k credits as a reward.

 

[Populuxe]

Same as me. I painted my new Huracàns white, red, and green, the colors of the Italian flag.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Hmm, I'll have to see if I got a Huracan too. Is it like the Veneno?
Has anyone seen my drivatar? What car does it drive?

It sure is.

Thanks for the info. Might leave it till I get my wheel back.

Hmm, I'll have to see if I got a Huracan too. Is it like the Veneno?t sure

I didn't get the Veneno, but did get the Huracan * 2. Then again, maybe I only got two cause I'm not a VIP. lol

Can't remember about the drivatar, but maybe that would make a fun separate thread?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Because of Turn 10, I ended up with 4 of the same car. Not that I'm complaining, by why 3 Huracans?

 

[Xilor]

The gifted Huracans have a special livery though I'm not sure what's it all about.
