Forza Horizon 6 - General Discussion

[Famine]

On holiday? It could be taking annual leaf from the game. I imagine it would enjoy a good train based holiday, taking all the best branch lines.

I'll get me coat.....

I would've thought they'd be more likely to take the Shinkansen when embarking upon their winter migration. It's a more direct root.

The literal translation of Shinkansen - which means the lines, rather than the trains or service - is, amusingly, "new trunk line".

Anyway, all these cherry blossom puns can get in a sack. UR a bunch of clowns.

I knew our nursery-level humour would end up going against the grain.

We were definitely axing for it.

I just hope he's not too bark-ing mad at us

That's the trouble with these puns being sporadic, it's either feast or Famine.

 

[Stang616]

Seems all the good tree puns are taken....I'm stumped.

Good to see the comedic community on GTPlanet blossoming.

Humour is one of my strengths.

Frequently both, unfortunately. It's definitely time to make like a tree and get outta here, McFly.

C'mon, now, that was one of the biggest laughs I've had all day.

Anyway, today's plan involves taking this ridiculously overpowered little van out to attempt to smash my friends' S1/800 Rivals times (although maybe not the world records) on the time attack tracks.

I wish we had a few more TAs; it's definitely a great addition to the Horizon workflow. After this I'm going to check out some of those CoLab tracks @Johnny Caisse was raving about earlier. The Stadium Circuit one was a lot of fun even if everything looked a bit Minecraft.

Me, after looking at my phone this morning.

I'm sick and tired of these PR stunts. I've tried. I've really tried. But for most of them, two stars is all I can do. I give up. I'm not wasting my time with these anymore.

Man your rivals times have been a lot of fun to try and beat. I mostly fail

A lot of tracks seem to be default tracks but when you find a customized one they tend to be fun.

the trick is to use the fastest car u have. MX5 FE is the best choice or AE86 FE

That's not fun, in my opinion.

For the dirt PR Stunts, You've got all these rally cars, but they're practically useless for the speed zones and speed traps, because they expect you to use one of the "Meta cars"

In the next game, I'd rather they put in something similar to what they do with seasonal PR Stunts, where they say: "to get three stars, set this speed in this class and car type" - Because that inspires you to try out a car that you might not have tried.

First time ever I read a 25 (?) year old human write something like that.

Anyways, back to business:

I wish we had a few more TAs; it's definitely a great addition to the Horizon workflow.

At first I read it as TA cars, for which we have plenty, but yes, can't complain on having more TA tracks - a longer FIA Grade 1-ish track could be cool. I bet DLC packs will have at least one new (if they are new, separate maps as usual), but I wonder if the Stadium can have a temporary TA track as a seasonal event (FH5 did it already!). There is only one single dirt TA track on the map, which I find odd.

It's one thing to create top notch tracks with brilliantly created assets which many of the user created tracks have maged to pull off so far. However, creating a course in which the AI doesn't become hopelessly entangled is unfortunately another matter, as with the oval track I just tried which was fun for me but not for bowie knife99 and his chums. You can't park there, mate.

In the next game, I'd rather they put in something similar to what they do with seasonal PR Stunts, where they say: "to get three stars, set this speed in this class and car type" - Because that inspires you to try out a car that you might not have tried.

You're welcome to challenge yourself with different car/track combinations but I think it's a bit unfair to expect the game to hamper everyone else's progression by setting artificial restrictions. Sometimes the fastest car around a particular track is a matter of performance and skill, not tricking the system.

What might suit your scenario better is having leaderboards for individual vehicles, but I don't think PG are going to use up time and resources on creating these for every car in the roster.

For the previous game @Obelisk set up a Car Of The Week thread in which forum members highlighted individual cars in which people set times against each other around specified tracks. Perhaps something like that would be closer to what you're asking for rather than expecting the devs to nerf progression for the entire playerbase.

The weekly playlist seems to do an okay job at trying to get people to use roster choices they might otherwise not have picked. But for me withholding stars from players if they don't use a non-optimal car brings back uncomfortable memories of GT5's Samba van on comfort tyres challenge which a lot of players complained about at the time.

Aye, that I did. I miss running the thread, but I've had to decide against opening a new one because the shape of my life right now would lead to schedule slip. Still happy to see that people remember my efforts!

I doubt I'd have the patience and dediction to set one of those up, let alone the automotive knowledge to write a detailed article on each car. Much appreciated.
