Forza Horizon 6 - General Discussion

[Kelpy D]

Finally had my encounter with bowie knife99, though it seem that his RX-7's livery has given up on him.

If I ever manage to ✪✪✪ Kodachi and Hakone it'll be a major incentive to delete all my drift cars from my garage.

Yayyy, at last. No more drifting for me. 🎉

Hopefully this will see an end to my endless laundry lists of complaints but I'm in no way serious about deleting my drift cars.

Only a crazy person would even consider wiping out a big chunk of their garage because they didn't like the way the cars are handled in the game.

Nah, that's just from where the paint has scraped off from his aggressive driving and people taking their revenge.

If anyone needs some vending machines for the Playlist challenge, go to the shop by the "Hokubu and Minamino Day Trip" story location near Shirakawa-Go.

If the bots cheat, cheat back.

Lower AI difficulty and use Auto Drive 😈

If that's the route you are heading to, change your final drive ratio all the way to the right before you enter the race, change it back to your original setting once you are in the race menu then you can take over all cars within a couple of seconds, even if you're in unbeatable difficulty.

What I don't understand in FH5 and FH6 is how certain racing disciplines are much harder than others, even on the same difficulty. For example, Circuit racing, Sprint racing and Cross-Country Racing (excluding buggies, pickups etc) are fine.
But then, you choose Street Racing or Cross-Country with buggies, ATVs, jeeps etc) and suddenly you're struggling to keep in midfield, even with your foot firmly to the floor.
Wtf is up with this??
The only real option is to change the difficulty settings but then, if you go too far in the other direction, it becomes too easy...

I think we will see some kind of Forza Horizon 6 announcement like a DLC or game mode or collab or update.

 

[Nacho Libre]

Well, I did some (un)scientific research with the Goliath and the difficulty level. If you drop it to novice, you will take 1st place early and you don't have to worry, after 1/3 of the race you won't even pick up the AI cars in the radar.

But, if you bump it to average then there is a complete change in their behavior that is almost exponential: They become more aggressive and bump into you, they take perfect lines and, this is the most aggravating part, they have unexplicable bursts of speed, even in mid corner (!), and even if you manage to take 1st place, the car behind will become an invincible alien that will just power ahead after it catches you.

I may probably abstain from the major races until the difficulty levels are corrected.

Japan in Winter ❄️ oh my !! 😍

As I said, and expected, there was nothing Forza related.

 

[Beebo]

Still too early for expansion news. Maybe if we were still working on the timeline that FH1-4 used for its expansion releases, but they take a little longer now. I don't mind, since we seem to get more stuff as a result.

 

[Michael S YT]

Forza is one of Microsofts flagship franchises though. But Matt Booty did mention Forza Horizon 6 when he was talking about what they already launched this year. Still they should have announced something post launch related.

There's no reason to. You don't start announcing content less than 2 weeks post-launch. The game isn't desperate for players & you run the risk of debate that content was held back.


It was just Fable as predicted.

Have you tried The Gauntlet? It didn't give me any problems on Expert level. I think the only ones I had to run on Highly Skilled were Colossus and Goliath.

I hope we get a spicy announcement soon though.

 

[GlamFM]

The game just came out. Chill.

Anyway.

Just changed the audio mix from default to music focus and it changes the entire vibe for me.
Brings it much closer to the default audio mix in FH5 and I vastly prefer it that way.

For some reason they decided to bury the music in FH6 a bit.

 

[RazorSharkz]

Eh I figured if we got anything it would be a rundown of season 2 of the festival playlist but I'm not disappointed either.

 

[Vincenzo_CVR]

Season 2 it will be only a little content (we allready know that the exclusive cars are the Leichtbau, the AMG GT R, SRT10, Rallye Golf MKII and Cerbera Speed Twelve) the real show and unexpected surprises starts in S3, when we got also the Italian Car Pack (14th of July IIRC)

I wonder where the source of this Drift Island DLC comes from?

Rectomancy.

Did you watch either of those videos before posting them? The 30-second one says "leakers" and the one that isn't 30 seconds long says it's rumours from "pretty much a lot of people on Reddit".

"Leaked" is, in both cases, a lie to get clicks. Which you're now giving them by sharing without any critical examination at all.

For reference, I watched neither. I just read the transcripts so they don't even get my click.

I watched them yes. And this place does have data miners which is why I shared it. Maybe they know the original source.

I did not put this here for no reason.

 

[Famine]

Maybe they know the original source.

There isn't one.

Like I said, one video cites "leakers" with no actual mention of who they are and the other says people on Reddit.

They are clickbait. There are no leaks.

If they did, they likely would've shared it by now since the data miners here are just as on top of the game as anywhere else. The difference is, the individuals here aren't doing it for views & are quick to disclose that none of what they find is a guarantee it'll ever be in the game.

How am I supposed to get this badge?

At least my journal is looking okay. These remaining categories won't be easy to complete, though.

How am I supposed to get this badge?

I had the same with another one which was showing 10,200/5,000 (completing the next one, which require 10,000 whatevers). It just popped later, when it felt like it.
