Never noticed the driver dancing in the car during a skill song. Cool touch.
I agree, it is a bit frustrating especially with the weekly challenge to complete. I wish they would announce the event like they did for Forzathon Live in FH4.
Could have sworn I got announcements for it while playing. Although, the times it actually does seem spotty.
If you think FH5's solo portion of the game is too long then maybe racing games aren't for you, because when you add up all the single player races (4 race types, about 15 races for each which take on average about 3 mins to complete) it works out to be about 3 hours of actual racing gameplay - that's not very much. Add another hour for the Goliath races and racing against trains and jet skis and you're only looking at 4 hours. I can't see how that's too long.
I was more talking about the stuff like expeditions and showcases taking up too much time, not necessarily the number of races available. I would much rather spend my time doing actual races than a "race" against a train/plane/jetski/monster truck.
Well considering racing games largely revolve around repeating a same process you've done a ton of times, it makes your original statement all the more odd. Your opening sentence doesn't even make much sense.
I believe the drivers started doing this in FH4. No matter, it's fun to watch.
Yeah I know about the creation tool - I tried it in FH4 and with limited success - trying to create a course of any complexity would cause the race not to work properly and the interface was too annoying to fix it. The game does provide an infinite amount of options to create your own content, I just don't have a lot of interest in doing so. If I've got 3 hours of an evening to play a game, I want to play, I don't want to create - that's the developers job to create content, not mine. I don't disparage people who enjoy doing it, it's not just for me.
My opening sentence was in response to another post which should provide context.
Hooray!Among some others, yeah. I doubt you'll see them flooding the auction house anytime soon though.
Well yeah, putting an easily obtained super wheelspin on one of the cheapest cars in the game was something of a head scratcher.
In other news, look what else is working now!
My brother and I have played the game for over a week and we still have stuff to do. Last time I checked the total driving time was 18 hours so the career mode isn't short at all.
I know it was, and it still makes little sense. It was a quick quip and that’s all. The content of single player is long, otherwise I wouldn’t be racing for 3-4 hours a day for a handful of days a week since release.
One reason I enjoy the Eliminator is that it's a different race each time. You can start anywhere on the map, you have no idea where the final arena is going to be, you don't know who you're racing against, and you don't know where the final checkpoint is going to be. It's endlessly entertaining.
It's also nice that the vehicles are random so the game isn't flooded with the exact same car.
I've heard it triggers after doing one clean lap followed by a dirty one. I think they may be right as well since it didn't unlock for me until after I failed to post a clean time despite having done several clean times right before that session.
Yep, use the Mazda RX8 with the "Allrounder" tune with this code 186 616 980.
I used the GR Supra 2020 for that race series. Yeah you're right it wasn't easy. I think I finished third on the first race and won that last two.
I've played FH5 for 40 hours, and I've really only begun to scratch the racing content. The majority of my time has been spent driving around, unlocking things, exploring/completing the roadmap. The game won't stop throwing cars, credits, and checkboxes at me just for spending time in it.
THANKS! It worked like a charm. 4th in the first race, 1st and 1st. That first race though.
