Forza Horizon 3 |OT| uozoH zo

exactly, i feel burned out, i never liked racing games but the Horizon series is something out of this world, when ever i buy a racing game i play it for like 5 hours max and drop it

i got so addicted to FH3 that i play 9 hours non-stop, i even hold myself from going to the bathroom to play, truly a masterpiece that worth getting an xbox one for itself alone

the only other racing game that i really liked beside FH is Burnout paradise, the racing in Burnout was trash but the roaming is so much fun i played it for tens of hours

i enjoy Forza Motorsport NOT for the racing, but for the trolling and crashing into people lol

anyway, i'll see some videos about the expansion and decide if i should buy it or if i really had enough
A special kind of hell awaits you!

It's expensive but I think this might be the best piece of DLC I've ever played.

Only wish they didn't make it a separate map and part of the main one. Or even just a way to drive from each map to the other.

If you've completed a Bucket List it'll be greyed out. If you've completed an exhibition on a route it'll have a label with a cup under it to indicate a championship, and will go grey once you finish the championship. If you 3-star a PR stunt the icon will go gold.

Basically anything that isn't greyed out or gold means you've still got stuff to do.

And you can absolutely progress doing only races. The beauty of this game is that it lets you progress any way you want. I've maxed out my fan count and haven't even discovered some of the PR stunts, nor have I finished all the championships.

Thank you dude, I got tired of driving up to events I had completed
 
Mainly I just want to express how amazing Blizzard Mountain is. This is just incredible. It's like the entirety of Forza Horizon 3, but just a little bit smaller, coated with a thick layer of snow.

It is a fantastic expansion, I'm loving it too, but I think you're overselling its size by a significant bit. Just as a 'warning' to any potential buyers, you aren't actually getting another, slightly smaller Forza Horizon 3.

The new courses are seriously fun to drive, I still recommend it to people without any real reservations!

Got 2 Holden Torana's gifted.
Might as well kit them out for the snow.
yeah, it's a nice offroad/rally machine stuck in the muscle car class
What are T prices? Seems like there are a lot of microtransactions .... can you earn every car?
monopoly money you spend real money on if making money in game is too slow and you want all the supercars to drive right into the walls right away

As an S1 it was a bit slippery for me but as a B class it was a joy to drive.


Just finished the Kingmaker race and opened up the championships now.
That should keep me busy into the new year :)

Speaking of the radio stations, whose nephew is the DJ for the Future Classics station. He is THE WORST, and refuse to belive he earns a living working on the radio in real life.

Does drivatar difficulty set before an event starts affect the number of fans gained from an event, or just credits gained?

Any idea on how to approach the silver sands speed zone? I'm doing online freeroam and can't get the 175 mph 3 star.

I just recorded a video of myself doing this on my first try.

I'm in regular single player (not online freeroam) and I have these settings:

Simulation steering
Traction control off
Stability control off
Braking = ABS off
Automatic shifting
Damage = off
Rewind on

Car I used is the 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus. It had a special off-road tune I took from a random person on Forza servers. I think you should be able to get the tune by searching my tag: OdadjianActual

I use metric so for me the goal is 314 kph. In the video you'll notice I rewind twice as I'm approaching the last sharp bend before the speed trap. It's because initially I kept approaching the bend at way too high a speed, forcing me to drive off road. After the second rewind, I didn't hit brake but I took my index finger off the RT gas trigger just long enough for my speed to dip down to around 285 kph. That let me turn the bend and stay on paved road. After that it was easy to mash the RT gas trigger to accelerate back up to 314 kph for the speed trap.

Why did they even put RWD trucks in the snow? They're all better when upgraded to AWD.

Come at speed zones where you have the highest speed, as the average will drop when you slow for a turn.

I did it in a centenario entering from the right side and got like 180.
 
So I won 3 races with the Alumi Craft but I didn't get the Terradyne, does it have to be online or something? I blueprinted a race to 1 lap on easiest and did it three times in a row just to get it done, but I didn't get it.

It's messed up. The achievement says win 5. So do 2 more and you'll unlock it. I noticed this when I was doing it on Friday.
 
Amazon has the PC Digital version right now for $40. Is that a good deal or has it gone cheaper recently? If that's pretty much how low its been going I'm gonna pick it up

Was able to finally get that Silver Sands speed zone. was a pain in the ass. Proceeded to 3 star every other speed zone/trap. Now I just have 3 danger signs left (one at the timbermill which is the most pain in the ass to 3 star), surfer's paradise, and the byran bay one near the festival.

*AI hold a meeting before the race*

"So guys we can't beat the player lets join forces and ruin his day........"

*Cue stock evil plan music*

Pretty much!

At the first Lap, I was like "Huh? 2 cars are stuck? Why?"

Then the 2nd one was like "Ah, I get it...they don't like the jump".

Bu the 3rd Lap I was like "The gang's all here!"

Sorry gonna quote / ask one more time for the new page. I have the game in my cart right now and am just curious if this is a good price to jump on or not

I'm in the UK so not certain but I think it's been as low as $30 in the US. $40 is still 33% off regular price though, and you will presumably get the XB1 version too, so that's not a bad deal at all in my opinion. The game is great.

I picked it up a few days ago from Bestbuy.com, digital for $30. That being said, knowing what I know now, I would have paid $40!

Recently started playing Forza Horizon 3 after finishing up Skyrim. Wow I'm having a lot of fun and recently requested to join GAF club so I'm waiting to get accepted.

For some reason this reminds me a lot of MotoStorm and it's a good thing. Excited to see what Playground Games can do with Scorpio for FH4.

How do I "side-swipe" on purpose?

I keep doing it by accident, but now that I need it I can´t pull it off.

To perform a Sideswipe, take out any smashable object while drifting or e-brake drifting.

To perform a Drift Tap, you have to gently tap a solid object, like a wall or hard race barrier, with the back end of your car while drifting or e-brake drifting.

The real tricky one in Blizzard Mountain is Slingshot. For this, you have to draft a car ahead of you, then pass it fairly quickly (within a couple of seconds). Of all the skill targets in the expansion, that one's the hardest for me, and it's on a twisty downhill race. Took me nearly 10 times to do that and win the race on PRO difficulty.

I did it with my non snow tire a class Audi S1
(the slingshot objective)

Naitosan described it above. After upgrading the third venue you will unlock clubs. Search for GAF and request to join.

Don't forget to PM me here after you request to join. We get a lot of requests but if we don't know who you are we don't accept the request.

Ok thanks! Once I unlock it I will!
