I agree that the straight parts of drift zones are a pain and the dirt/gravel drift zones are a pain too. I like drifting IRL and I drift for fun in free roam. I do actually enjoy the drift Stunt Parties since there’s an incentive to not only get a high score but also to get them done quickly instead of dragging them out to squeeze in as many tiny drifts as you possibly can. I feel like they could increase the point bonuses for drifting at higher speeds, although I do find myself getting 3 stars and/or setting personal records for drift zones during Stunt Parties on occasion, so maybe I’m just doing the drift zones the wrong way when I drag them out and do lots of small drifts.
On tarmac I actually quite enjoy it, it helps a ton if you get a nice drift-formula car from wheelspins to do the drift zones (I got the Ferrari from one early doors and it was a 9/10 straight out of the box). It doesn't take forensic-level tuning to cook one up from scratch either, so much so I'm making a selection for online drift championships although that's due in part to grievances I have with standard play sessions (that'll be for another post).
Forzas closed down ecosystem has been opened recently by the modding community which leads to thisWell, that's strange. I... don't think that's the right car. In fact, it isn't even in the game AFAIK

But you can't use the million dollar hypercars to get your first wristband...
Indeed, IMO nothing feels earned though; ie. starter car(s) aren't stock, and you receive three of them modified. DLC cars are (still) just added to the garage rather than having to purchase them, barn finds off the bat are rare cars, rather than just some random 'niche' cars etc. Not my jam and mayo unfortunately
I mentioned what I was expecting - FH1-style progression; Devs seemed to insinuate you were a 'nobody' entering into Horizon Festival, much like the legacy times. Great, I thought. Seems clear as mud to me; All I said was I missed Horizon 1's sense of progression and I don't dig games that hand you everything on a silver platter from the get-go, so I uninstalled it, unsure how that's 'rage quitting' but you do you boo. If you enjoy it, great ! keep playin'
Crossposted on General Discussion since this has little if anything to do with "what did you do in FH6 today".The irony seems lost on you - with that logic, every car should already be in your garage from day one because you paid for the game, right? Why even have credits? or XP bonuses?! FOMO events!? Auction house?!?!S o r r y for preferring a sense of progression/achievement in games a different way to somebody else ha ha
He doesn’t understand that people buy games to play and people buy DLC to download and be able to use in the game without having to jump through hoops to use what they paid extra for. An expansion would include exclusive rewards that need to be earned but having to use in game credits to use paid car packs would cause a negative reaction from basically every player except him. Then asserting that optional paid DLC ruined the game for him tells me that he has no one but himself to blame for the game’s progression being ruined.Crossposted on General Discussion since this has little if anything to do with "what did you do in FH6 today".
Apparently this poster thinks that Treasure Cars being rare finds and DLC cars being free hurts the progression of the game even though you can't use them in wristband races.
For me, FH is the only racing game with real cars where I like to drift, it feels good and controllable to me assuming you have the right car/setup, the formula drift cars feel like the easy mode option to me to get drifting stuff out of the way, power sliding awd also works well but doesn't feel as nice to me. That said drifting is not my focus unless the goal of the activity I'm doing is drifting, and there are many activities I'd rather do in the game than drifting.
In the spirit of a friendly discussion: I share his opinion that too many cars are thrown upon the player. I buy the DLC to have access to the cars. But, I'd rather buy them with in-game money or get them as a gameplay award instead of getting them all at once. I personally prefer building a curated collection over having an immense catalog of cars without any real connection to them and I think it is a shame that the game is not more adaptable to that sort of gameplay. I still enjoy the game a lot, I'd just wish for some different game design choices.
Some of the cars in my collection were bloody hard to obtain.
Some of those cars didn't show up in hundreds of spins so I had no choice but to grind money until I could bid on them. Since the maximum bid limit was increased, though, it'll take a long time to get the money required for buyouts and we can no longer farm wheelspins easily either.
Completely depends on how much of your time you are devoting to skillpoint/wheelspin farming. I've played 600 hours total so far and a good chunk of that was wheelspin farming. As a result I own each wheelspin car (and even a second copy of each one, except for the Apollo, the Rimac, and the Formula Drift #13), without using the auction house.
Yeah, don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for more grind, just more autonomy. Half my garage I have no clue where the cars come from. Also, I'd like more consistency in the economy. How come I can readily buy an SVJ but the regular Aventador is unobtainium? Why is a regular 370Z way more expensive than the Nismo-model? Etc...
