I’m Mexican and didn't really feel connected to the game as described, It just felt empty to me. But I respect your opinion and hopefully future updates make the game more fun.
I would argue none of those things ever had any correlation to their location in any of the games. FH5's menus were just as generic. The race win screen was a big stage with a giant screen behind it, giving absolutely no indication of location. Banners and flags, all "Horizon", not "Mexico" or "Japan" in either game. Festival presentation, still just Horizon, not really tied to location.
I would say only the... car lucha libre?... story really tied into Mexican culture more than any of the Japanese stories. They both have stories touring the place, or teaching players to drift. But pretty much any of the stories that aren't tours of landmarks in any of the games could be transplanted between any of them, just swapping the fairly generic local character around.
If you are why does it say America below you?
If you are half American why does it say Bavaria below you?
Thats where I was born and live in. What makes me half German is my mother and what makes me half American is my father.
So you're saying people can move and still keep their nationality? Or did your mother and father conceive you long-distance?
Yes. Its possible to be multinational. So I guess he is born in Mexico but migrated to America. And I was making an assumption that the birth places are the locations below the names but I guess not. And thats why I was confused.
I live in the US. You can be born in one place then move to another my guy.
Its a microcar though.
They are, it's terrible. The difficulty levels are not the same as they were in FH5. I could be them just fine on Highly Skilled on FH5, now it feels like Unbeatable....
I don't know whether you've been reading the last few pages of this thread but it's been a hot topic here for a couple of days now. That's what all the Bowie knife99 jokes are about so it's not just you.
Yeah, you're just saying that because you spent the last couple of days scarfing down meat pies and pints of ale with the Playground staff at the meet the devs event. I'm picturing you tottering around the Gaydon pubs with your arm around the design director's shoulder, slurring "Toerag... you're my besshht mate...".
🤣 Oh lord, is himself trying to mexsplain your own car culture to you now? Like the other 75% of people on this thread I'm not regretting hitting that noise reduction button for a single second.Are you trying to explain Mexican heritage and history to a Mexican? Anyways, the game is not set in California (or anything resembling Tijuana or El Paso).
Arent microcars below the kei car class?
I mean, they’re delicious, but yeah, not actually Mexican.
I'm sorry too mate. Hope you're enjoying the rest of the game.
Yeah, but compared to GT7's AI, even the non-sophy AI, it feels a bit of a downgrade. I understand it not being the best for custom races, but I don't feel it should be divebombing me. It seems to be at it's worst on street racing events. On normal events, the AI keeps it's distance most of the time.
Mike Brown once described himself as "more of an open world-guy than a car-guy" in an interview. I just don't think he was the right man for the job. I always liked Ralph Fulton better, who was in charge during FH1-3 and then moved on to the Fable side of PGG. Turbo-Torben is also way better than Mike Brown ever was, in my opinion 😊
Yeah, it is going to be worse than sim-focused track racers. It has to work on all terrain, on custom routes, and so on. But I'm having significantly cleaner races than other people seem to be reporting, so I don't really know what to say other than it might be a skill issue. There's bumping and nudging, but it's not like I'm being rammed. The biggest issue is their swerving into me on straights when I get close. That's not something I remember experiencing previously, and I believe it's tied to their inability to focus on and react to more than one car at a time. So when the player car becomes the focus, it shifts the math so much that it swerves into the player, for some reason. The way I see them described online, you'd think it was the average online public lobby.
