Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[sirjim73]

You're very kind but I think such an event may lack international appeal since in the US it seems a lot of people avoid the beverage in favour of coffee and would probably rather dump it in a harbour somewhere. It sounds more like Forza Horizon 4 would've been a better opportunity to introduce a char-related theme.

As a foreign-born immigrant I'm not really one for banging the drum. Maybe it's fun to fly the flag once in a while, though. I'd just like to point out that this dunker used a chocolate Hob-Nob rather than digestive biscuits, possibly because they're slightly more durable:


minus points for not holding his pinky finger out

Nah, he used Hob Nobs because he's posh, us mere mortals stick to MILK CHOCOLATE digestives.

Talking of tea... I managed to pick up another missing tee shirt with last week's photo challenge. Slowly picking up the last few clothing items as they appear. Not sure if I'll manage to "catch them all" though.

You see, this is why for FH6, Playground should stop putting bonus boards (XP, fast travel, or anything similar) on rooftops and unrealistic places.

I doubt this'll happen. I think most of us got the boards eventually and it helps prolong the challenge.

Those tattoos on his arms looked well posh. I could swear one of them was of Sophie Ellis-Bextor or someone equally high class.

I'm just happy someone achieved something for the UK (and United Biscuits eaters, lol) regardless of the brand he used.

Hi all, does anybody have anything nice to say abour CarX Street? It's dirty cheap on Steam right now and it may scratch some itch while we wait on news of the new FH.

I'm not sure about Sophie but I'd pay good money for a tattoo of her mother Janet in her Blue Peter days.

Everybody please vote for the Horizon 10th Anniversary playlist I beg you all

Probably not going to happen, PG have been doing it since FH1.

 

[Gingerale]

Man, i completed every event in the last 4 seasons, but due to holidays and busy schedule i missed just 3 events from the last one so missed the trophy. Ah well guess Ill have to try again...

 

[GTboyz]

I don't know why but it's always at this spot in the Hotwheels track that the game just automatically brake my car and make me lose control, you guys ever experienced this?

Thankfully the AIs were helpful this time haha

 

[TheStigGt3]

Any news (leaks) on fh6 yet?

Don't forget to snap that yellow car for the photo challenge.

You probably have stunt assist on or whatever they called it. It will autobrake during loops and other "stunts."

Already disabled every driving assists including the stunt controls.

 

[Edax 76]

Wha hey I logged on just now and I have a like for one of my tunes. It's the first like I've had for ages on my tunes. Only another 7 likes to go for my next accolade reward, I should get there by March 2031 😂😂😂😂😂.

The Festival has moved to Thruxton Retro today and this morning it was almost as hot as Barcelona

"Max" getting some early laps in ...

I wonder if the circuit has been recreated on Eventlab Island 🤔

How can I disable the assist? It's greyed out in the options.

Thruxton is a great little circuit. The wife had a few driving experiences there for her birthday while we lived at Odiham. She's driven round it in an Audi R8, Porsche (I forget the model) and she's had 3 laps being driven around by Tiff Needell.

Apparently Chris Harris was doing a (obviously expensive) track day here yesterday.
A bit more current than Tiff I did meet Tiff and get a selfie at an indoor London classic car show one January just before Covid, seemed like a nice guy and was happy to talk to everyone 👍

On topic... need to check tomorrow for any unowned clothing items available this week in FH5. And check the approx 1,100 extra Forzathon points I still get every week thanks to whatever random bug is present.

I 100% agree with your comments about Tiff bud. He was more than happy to pose for pics with everyone, spoke to everybody there and was genuinely interested in what people said to him. Mrs Edax had her drive with him about 2015 I think.

We paid to have the drive recorded from inside the car. Not only is Tiff a true Gentleman but he also has a tremendous sense of humour whilst throwing cars into corners sideways lol. Mrs Edax didn't know whether to laugh or scream for the 3 laps.

On the free Forzathon points issue I'm still getting them.

Phil Spencer made it sound like it’s coming out next year.

I read rumors that suggest it takes place “in a location fans have been asking for for years”.

My money is on Japan.

My money is also on a TGA reveal in December.

Big Phil did say next year would see FH6 released as part of Xbox 25th anniversary celebrations.

While a lot have interpreted and assumed that, what he actually said was "the next Forza".

Fair one bud you are correct.

That’s not exactly what he said. Thats why I said “made it sound like”.

How can I turn the assist off? It's turned ON and greyed out in the difficulty settings.

I think it's only available while on the Hot Wheels map, so it's greyed out everywhere else.

Ok. Need to check it next time I play. Thanks.

I tried to get all the cars I was missing from the auction house but I seem to have met my match with the Lotus 340R. I’ve been searching Obsessively all week and cannot win one for the life of me. I found every other car I was missing except the 340R and 4 Extreme E cars I don’t care to try to get from the AH.

The Plymouth Belvedere took the longest to find but I did eventually get it, and I think the Ford Mustang SVT ‘03 may have been the most frustrating to win since it shows up strangely frequently but you can almost never win it. Anyhow I wouldn’t recommend using the AH for this purpose unless you feel like using up tons of time.

The best tip I have for AH hunting is to use the Y button to attempt buyouts rather than going through the rigamarole of loading the entire listing. It's gotten me quite a few cars I'd missed over the course of three uninstalls. At this point in the game's life though you might be better off either waiting for the car you want to appear as a Hard-to-Find in the Playlist or popping up in the Backstage Shop.
