The QC team continues to be an embarrassment to Turn 10.
Despite being an over-all pretty good game in many areas, the small glitches here and there really add up to one pretty low quality experience, sadly. I've found so many mistakes I've lost count and I always find more. It's odd, because I thought Forza was a billion dollar franchise. :lol:

It's not even a "low quality" experience, just one that is incredibly frustrating because T10 keeps removing features (Storefronts?) for absolutely no reason and introducing bugs that could've been fixed before launch in a second, and afterwards with any of the patches released so far. This all compounds in with the fact that T10 has no clear target audience anymore (12 year old kiddies who drool at Fast And Furious won't get 90% of the carlist, pure-breed racing enthusiasts will likely be frustrated to no end by certain design choices, and car-loving guys such as me would gladly do without the endless steam of minor annoyances such as the GT3 4.0 being stuck with the Forza tea-tray splitter).

They got the best technological platform, the best relationship with the automotive industry and the best staff out there, and they keep squandering it because whoever is in charge can't pull their heads off their ass and realize that a car whose bonnet lifts to reveal another bonnet is something that impacts the players experience negatively, or that you can't hoot and toot about your "community" and then not provide any decent community tools to the players, forcing them to play a sad metagame of advertising their content on Twitter in the hopes that someone takes notice. I really want T10 to succeed, because if they don't, it will be at least a decade before we'll have a game as big and ecompassing as Forza Motorsport 7. But it's like they're trying to fail on purpose.

...wait, now that I think of it, who's in charge? Greenwalt? Giese? I can't recall when was the last time someone was introduced in E3 as "the guy in charge of picking the direction of Forza". Hm. I think we may have the answer here....
 
Around my preferred test track:

  • The Titan is 2.5 seconds slower than a Rally Fighter
  • The Subaru is 1 second slower than the Ford Escort FE
  • The Reventón is the fastest car I’ve driven in its Division.

Which is your preferred test track? The Reventon is really something at Spa-Francorchamps!
 
:dunce:

Haha..I didn’t check too good apparently. I was browsing in the thread that PJ posted the WIR notes, and was reading them.

There’s too many threads going on, I can’t really keep track of them all. :lol:

Hmmm have no interest in the first two but if the Reventon is fast I might pick it up before the dealer changes stock
 
I have an alarm set for tonight to remind me. Forgot last week and ended up with production numbers in the thousands :/
 
I haven't checked, but when you search for a dealer car in the Auction House, can you see the production number before you buy the car?

I think Playground Games have done such a grand job with the Horizon format that T10 themselves are beginning to look like one trick ponies.

I live in the Mountain Time Zone, so the update occurs at 5pm, now that DST is upon us. But I'm leaving for several hours to go pick up family at the airport in Denver. By the time I get back I'll be lucky if my cars are below 50,000. However, I wish everyone else here Good Luck!

They haven't. Horizon 3 shares, in many ways, the same flaws as Forza Motorsport 7. Bugs that are noticed immediately but go unfixed for ages, sound samples seemingly assigned to cars at random, etc. It's hard to guess what's going awry with Microsoft Studios - and ultimately, the games may have gotten a lot messier, but Forza Motorsport 7 is still the game from the series I've enjoyed the most, so far.

Hopefully the poor reception FM7 received from the fans will be a wake-up call for Microsoft. Although so far I can't remember a game which hasn't been met poorly by the fanbase. This, too, is a problem. The community could play a very important role in fixing Forza's issues, if it stopped bitching for a moment. Which it never will: whining is, after all, much easier and provides much more catharsis than constructive criticism.

Pleased with that.
 
I think this was earlier than the last time I was here.

Sagaris - 18 (Literally the first thing I went after; I love this tail-happy 🤬. :lol: )
458 - 440 (Would have been better than 1 had I gotten 458...)
