I also sent a request to join the CAG club today, gt Slainet, can you belong to more than one club at a time?

If you don't mind I'll send some friend requests to people here so I can have some competition on the Speed Traps and Rivals races, only 1 person on my friends list has this game.

I think its one only... I just haven't seen an option to join a second one,

Nice thing about the club is that everyone in the club gets added to your Speed Traps and whatnot... Which is cool. Its certainly kept me more invested in those than I normally would have been.

At a speed zone today I actually posted the 126 overall fastest time... Granted, its a speed zone and those things all pretty much suck ass.

I'm really loving the huge open world aspect of this game. It has some amazing cars for cruising (I actually didn't navigate very much of the map because the video was already too long):

I'm cruising in the 1956 Jaguar D-Type.

0:00 A Real Hero (College ft. Electric Youth). 3:27 the Colorado sunset.
4:26 Strangers in a Car (Marc Cohn). 6:44 checking out the full moon.
7:16 Neela Drifts (Brian Tyler). 7:57 the observatory.
10:34 Blindsided (Bon Iver). 10:35 sunrise.
16:01 We Own the Sky (M83). 18:29 the beautiful wind farm.
21:04 Rez (Underworld). 24:15 one of the beautiful waterfalls. 25:49 going over the dam.
31:03 Holoscene (Bon Iver).
36:40 Every Night (Imagine Dragons).
40:16 Take Over the World (The Courteeners).
44:01 Everything'll Be Alright (Will's Lullaby) (Joshua Radin).

I barely covered the area in the game which is a testament to how huge it is. I did backtrack a few of the roads because when I was recording, I didn't know I'd be making this kind of video. It covers a full day cycle. Editing the audio for the video resulted in a lot of video compression which I apologize for.

it was at the game hub which was just plain ol road or tarmac depending on what area you are from. I'm familiar with torque steer, but not to that extent.
They were some of the newer muscle cars like the newer charger and challenger and the older boss 429 from the mustang vs mustang challenge.

Not really... But I've gotten pretty use to it. What surface type are you on and what are you driving? Lose stuff, rear wheel drive, and lots of power (especially applied quickly) don't mix well. [/QUOTE]

Played the demo, couldn't get the DiRT vibes out of my mind while playing it. Although I greatly associate Forza with the sterile racing environment, I'll definitely pick this up later down the line.

I'm absolutely in love with the soundtrack so far, Forza has always been good with bringing over drum and bass and electronic music into their games.

Yeah this was me as well, I said well I played the crap out of DiRT 3 already.

Request to join club sent.

Alot is ripped right from Dirt 2 & 3. Just played mp for the first time and it has three party modes including Infected (Outbreak) and Cat and Mouse (Cat and Mouse!) which are just like Dirt 3. Still fun as always though. Even stole a song from Dirt 2.

I'm pleased and satisfied with this game, it has met my expectations for what they said it would be. Only annoying bit is when you hit a car head on it just bounces off. I would've liked a little more damage and/or realism for that.

Just did a Street Race where it was pretty much from corner to corner of the map. (SW to NE)

It took about 9:30 in an S class car.

Anyone else get the CE version of the game from Amazon for $39.99 mistakenly like I did? O_o

Oh wow really lol.

Doesn't have the shitty DiRT menus though.

Agreed, there should be more of a penalty for crashing into traffic. This isn't nfs or burnout.

Fixed. Although the race recap screen is pretty reminiscent of Dirt.

Vip, that's sweet looking! (I'll see if I cannot figure out how to get some pictures of my own designs up.)

Single player... I just finished it, or well, I finished the "story" as I still have a ton of events (both bracelet, street, and I think one or two showcase events) left but my thoughts on the game after quite bit of time in SP.

All and all the game is quite amazing... My complaints are, really, really, minor and many of them are just nitpicking.

Single Player
Content; There certainly isn't a lack of it... but it does seem a bit lite compared to a Forza Motorsport title... Then again FM repeats so many events with just a simple change (Change in class, etc.) that its not a real fair comparison... I guess what it really comes down to I enjoyed Horizon so much that I wouldn't be upset if it had more.

Traffic; It almost seems without fail to be lined up against me... and not the CPU racers. Though, it does make it quite funny when they are taken out. Like others I think the punishment for hitting them is a bit lite and I think an option should have been included for something more punishing for while racing but not for just driving around... I think if it was more punishing in free mode it would likely just add frustration and not fun. (Then again I got pretty much consumed the last few days with getting from Race A to Race B as quick as possible... and my popularity rank shows it. I'm still forty something.

Cutscenes; After the heavy use of cutscenes in the beginning I was rather surprised by the lack of them toward the end of the game... (This isn't really a complaint... Just an observation.)

Vinyl/Car Painting; If I have my radio turned off why am I forced to listen to the same three songs while designing stuff?

Car Painting Part 2; Why can I not paint the Forza Wing when using it?

Driver Avatar; Your character never speaks, I'm pretty close to certain that his gender is never mentioned, so why isn't their an option for a female driver?

Manufacture Races; Ferrari, Ford, Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Lamborghini, all of them and then some should have races that are restricted to their makes only... but why is there one for Bentley when everyone is forced to drive the same thing...? (The Bentley Continental.)

Roads; This sort of goes with the above mentioned “Content” section but as many roads as there is I'm sort of disappointed by the lack of real mountain passes.... There's not one switchback in the game after all. \

Anyhow, like I said... Real nitpicking and none of it really takes away from the game or my enjoyment of it...

I will say I hope the next Horizon has weather to go along with its night driving... (and I hope the next FM has both.)

Question for anyone who has finished the campaign.

Did Flynt finish the pink slip race when you beat him? Somehow he only completed 65% of the race for me... I even left it at the race results screen for 5-10 minutes while I was away and came back to no change.

Thanks!

Horizon recognizes your Forza 3 and 4 saves and gives you cars based on that, right? How do you know if it found your old saves?

When you earn your way into the Horizons event and get the yellow bracelet you receive a message that your loyalty cars are in the garage. Go there to check them out.

Speaking of this... I have a few cars on one save file I need to get to my primary save file. (I had to start the game over again to trigger the Forza achievement)

Is there anyone with a CE that wouldn't be off put by gifting cars back to me after I gift them to you? (Most of the cars are the liveries cars you get on day one.)
