@sirjim73 you are currently 993th in the custom show. You have 50 minutes to log in and vote to secure platinum. If not you will end up just a few positions outside of it. Also keep using the purple color. It helps šŸ˜Š

Maximum reward for minimum effort = 999th Place ;)

I will do the Special Event at some point but I won't rush unless it's time gated (which I don't think it is).
 
Just a friendly reminder that the Twich drops are enabled.

1h of watching will reward you with the Chicago Heist smoke
2h will reward the Chicago Heist tire
3h will reward the Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut
 
I've got a way to go on the Custom Mode then....
:lol:

I will definitely get Motorfest if it launches on Nintendo Switch 2 since it will have an offline mode in the future. While I'm sad for physical video games almost being gone, I know that my maintenance and care skills for CD or game cartridges are among the worst you'll ever see so I moved on to digital since about 2015-2016.

Getting rid of physical games is only an issue, because of the lack of regulation of the online seller. Better regulations that enforce multiple market places (including second hand) would solve this situation. Its hard to legitimise keeping physical media purely for some lack based fear mentality of ownership, particularly in the midst of an environmental crisis that is far more important. We've seen our favourite hobby being bashed by the human condition over the last couple of years, capitalism stifles creativity and greed corrupts everything it touches.

No offline mode is disappointing. Kind of defeats the point of a Switch port. Though I guess it's understandable considering all the live service elements still going on. But still, a limited offline mode, with free roam and part of the races would have been nice.

Offline play has been promised thankfully... I guess a patch is in the post... no idea when.
 
As it's in the old PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue, I'm giving this a whirl (having played a previous game on the same basis and literally given up in the tutorial because the planes handled like a thrown noodle).

Have to say it's like someone saw FH5 and thought it needed more cutscenes, more colours everywhere, and less explanation so far, but my first plane and boat events weren't utter toss so I've continued.

Speaking of less explanation what the hell are "Rainbow Fun Collectibles"? I got a map notification of "a thing", went to the thing and it asked me to hold X to collect, but nothing was apparently collected. Consulting many resources revealed it's a "Rainbow Fun Collectible" and watching several videos on the same subject revealed the same thing - hold X, success, but... what was actually collected?

The various photo challenges appear nob as well, unless there's a way to adjust time of day like in FH5/6 I've just not found through unfamiliarity.

You can adjust the time of day in photo mode. They have different time and weather settings depending on what you pick (Dawn, Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Sunset, Dusk, Night).

Ah, there we are :lol:

The non-collecting collectibles are the main thing baking my noodle at the moment though.

The collectibles practically IIRC is to press the button when it tells you can collect but most of them are artistic wall art or areas of note that are "Collected" once you find them and use the collect button. And yes, one of them is a picture of Obama.

That was largely the conclusion I'd reached from watching the videos of people "collecting" the same thing I was looking at.

Which is mad, as the name "collectibles" implies something you can collect, but it just seems to be "hold X to show you've been here"... :|

It's a weird, weird game. I did the first "Playlist" (which looks and feels like a Horizon Story) and despite not having completed enough of them (ten?!) to unlock fast travel was given the option to fast travel to pick up the reward.

That's actually another example of not enough information. "Collect your Reward"; okay, Ā«presses X like I'm toldĀ», Ā«game exits that screen entirely and nothing else happensĀ»... only it turns out you have to drive (or fast travel, apparently) back to the original location you started the Playlist to get the reward.

The bit where I did a race in a boat and was then just left to find my way back to an on-land waypoint for the next race was a laugh too. Apparently you need to leap onto the land in your boat and then use the favourites wheel to switch to a car (because if you do it in the water you immediately sink).

Still, everything has foibles, I guess...

Yes. It's a very, very weird game indeed. :lol: I removed the subtitles and Voices because all the characters did was proselityse about the car(s) like they were more precious than human life.

Oh my god, the NPCs...

Only exception to keeping the voices off in options permanently is the ferrari playlist video's which you might appreciate, the rest is just hot air (pure methane) lol.
