Totally love roaming. IT's pretty much all i do in open world games.

Me too, love open world racing games. I thought FH1 was a fairly large map, but it's got nothing on FH2!

 

Eh... I meant 94.

Haha damn!

Anyone using a racing wheel to play this game?  What would be a good choice at a reasonable price?

 

Nor using one since I don't have one for the one. However wheels greatly make you instantly better at forza games, but you need to race with hood view(or inside view, but I find them generally idiotic since some cars only give you 10% of the screen as a view then, which is not how it would be if you where actually in the car, unless you happen to be in front of a 150 inch 1:1 scale screen).

Turn10 gifted me a Veneno... I already have one :(

 

Also anyone missing a club invite drop a message to HawkMan79 I could also give co-lead to a few more active players who wants.

Got the Veneno gift also. I have been using the C63 Black tuned to the max, and it is a damn quick car. Driving other cars just feel slow

The Veneno isn't the quickest car, but damn does it stick to the road, probably because it's factory body comes with front and rear spilers superior that those of the forza ones. In fact the other lambo is technically quicker. but...

I'm normally more of a track racing kinda guy but bought this a week or so ago, having a lot of fun so far! It seems a bit odd that you have to drive all the way back to the festival site garage to change cars, am I missing something?

 

You can do that or teleport for faster way.

 

Or you can follow whatever is on the screen to tell you..  such as go to the next race or go to the club, etc.

Thanks for adding me to the club (I'm squirt185). I've got a question about the club rankings - it says something like you have to challenge other club members to become ranked, does that mean in live online 1v1 races or does it relate to something like XP earned online for the club per week? If it's the former, do you actually have to add everyone as a xbox live friend or can you challenge via the club page?

Is it just me, or are those races against trains and plane un-loseable? I was racing the cargo plane (if you can call it racing :p) and it seemed at times as though the plane was just floating and waiting for me to catch up. Still won the race...

I think that is true. I think it will slow down to keep the time relatively close.

I really messed up the balloon race and still managed to win by a few tenths.

 

You get some good photo ops when it is that close at the end.

Perhaps your difficulty is just set way too low :)

This Forza Horizon 2 Storm Island Trailer Is Like Cocaine In Your Coffee
 

 

The detail on this incredible lineup of trucks and rally cars, the dramatic terrain and strikingly rendered weather... Holy cr*p, this jaw-dropping Forza Horizon 2 Storm Island trailer makes me want to rip my shirt off and take a race-prepped Ford Ranger off a jump. Which I could do if I got this game.

 

Forza proved they were committed to the off-road element of racing with some great vehicles and dirt courses in the initial Horizon 2 release, but this Storm Island expansion looks like it's taking the off-tarmac action to a whole 'nother level.

Here's a gameplay clip of what they call "Rampage Mode," with commentary from the developers who made it happen:

 

 

And here's what the game's Creative Director Ralph Fulton calls "one of the most extreme races that we've ever had in the Forza franchise before:"

 



The Storm Island expansion pack will be available on XBox One has downloadable content starting December 16th, 2014.

Some of my favourite events were the off road events so I'm looking forward to this. 

 

Can't wait to power slide these beasts around some corners ;)

 

I "enjoy" them, but honestly I could do without them and kinda wish the game didn't have so much of them and didn't mix offroad into everything you do. I buy and play it as a exotic car driving game, not to be forced to go offroad in road cars all the time. if I wanted off road I'd buy dirt or something.

I agree. The other thing that irks me is if you have damage on and then do a cross country, the car ends up knackered really quick, so when I first got the game I turned damage off and kept it off there's too many off road events to keep switching it on and off. I enjoy having damage on as it's (mildly) realistic and you get a XP bonus. I say mildly realistic as a tiny shunt into a car going the same direction, with a perhaps 5-7MPH difference causes annoyingly unrealistically massive damage to your body, drivetrain, steering and suspension!

 

Have they patched the damage thing on cross country where they damage too fast, or was it intentional?

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
