Forza Horizon 4

I tried the demo (on PC)....pretty fun game. I'm playing with a XB1 controller and it doesn't feel too terribly "sim" to me, or at least the car feels way more controllable than some of the other games I've played.

One weird/cool thing I found out is that the XB1 controller has force feedback specifically for the analog triggers, which I've never had happen in a game before. Pretty cool to feel the tires slipping when you engage the brakes and whatnot.

They were easy to navigate in Horizon 3. But they had to go and integrate it with the shitty club system on Xbox Live.

So happy to see that Xbox fix. I was just getting frustrated this morning trying to finish the drift PR stunts and it was constantly slowing down and speeding up. The issue is that even when performance comes back up the physics remain glitched until you restarted the game.

Should try on my PC again to see if it still crashes.
 
Just noticed that ghostwich created a team, not a club. I went ahead and created the club. It is public, so just search for HardOCP in the game on the Clubs section of the pause menu. I sent out some invitations to people in my friends list I know are members here. I'll update the image and description later tonight. [H] and H were taken as tags, so I made it HOCP like the club in Horizon 3 was.

Oh thank God someone figured it out.

Edit - I truly have no idea why this distinction exists?

welp rip i can't get past the loading screen in the game now.. probably because my local file is desynced from the cloud file but this is fucking stupid, i'm like 2 events away from finishing the game..
 
disable any and all background monitor and recording apps, like dvr or fps displays even system monitors. maybe try creating a new account and see if it will launch there.
 
The PC version is no longer crashing for me, yay! Now I have to get myself out of being used to 30 FPS.

I just created it the way it was done in Horizon 3 (from within the game). Like I said, I have no idea why they had to integrate it with the Xbox Club system, as I can see how it could be confusing. It just made the whole thing convoluted and hard to work with.

I shut down my computer every night ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

eh i can't be bothered to shut down my computer.. uses less power than the 4 pot lights in my room and costs me about 15 dollars a year to leave it idling. cheap power ftw :)
 
Oh what the shit, the blizzard effects are so disappointing: it's barely even snowing

Huge step back from Blizzard Mountain in FH3.

hoping the expansion opens up more areas of the UK that are known for higher snow falls than the main city areas then it might increase how much snow there is.

T'would be sweet if the connecting roads to the north of Edinburgh expanded the playable map with no loading screens. If I'm not mistaken it's supposed to be the Queensferry Bridge.

Wow, that's shitty. I got my Xbox One hardcopy of Odyssey from Amazon the morning early access started.
Click to expand...

It shipped on the 27th, arrived at my APO box late Tuesday afternoon, so a little less than two weeks. Just managed to get over there and pick it up today. I think I'm going to have to switch to digital ordering now that Amazon isn't giving 20% off anymore.

Edit: even with the hardcopy, there's still a 22.22 GB patch, I should have loaded it from gamepass and then just installed the Ultimate code from the box.

I took the trouble of downloading the demo and connecting my Switch pro controller. But the game is not for me I guess.
 
Been playing the shit out of it, but wheel support feels terrible. Can't use my T150 and T3PA's with it worth a damn, slightest throttle input = spin, massive deadzone and oscillation in the center of the wheel.

At least it's fun with a controller :)

I'm getting there. Will probably do what I did in Horizon 2 and just do The Goliath with every car in the game while stockpiling cash for the 2 castles.

I think that is a crying shame that if you are playing the game without the exploits you run through content so fast.

To be fair I've put in just about 40 hours since the game came out. But I don't use fast travel at all, so at least half of that time is driving to points of interest. If I remember correctly my stats say I've spent 18 hours in Horizon Life.
 
i don't have the fast travel shit.. only fast travel i used was to jump to the horizon festival to do events on that side of the map when i was feeling lazy otherwise i just drive everywhere.. i can't get anymore fast travel/influence signs to spawn anymore and i only have 165 of them i think.

31h 20 minutes driving.. 2889 miles traveled so far.
