official Forza Horizon 2

[Hedon]

I will finish all 168 races, but I know I will never make it to level 999.

[TAZMINATOR]

I am on 2nd championship and I am at level 84.

 

Eh... I meant 94.

[tsupersonic]

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! 

[spaceelf]

One week til you can all laugh at me in my puny cars, or something.

[HawkMan]

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

hah..  It did the same thing to me..

 

I drove lambo and later, I drove other cars and I went like wtf? why it's damn slow and I realized that I am not on lambo...

 

:rolleyes:

[HawkMan]

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...

[spaceelf]

I got lots of stuff to download (just got my X1!) but it's in my queue.

 

Though...are they still selling the Day One edition digital, or is it just for people who just got their console, or what?  weird

[spaceelf]

Not surprised you guys aren't playing much anymore, but I finally got to clubs and joined in.

 

Rawr.

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

Nice one. I'm still unpacking but should be back online at the weekend, I'll see you then :)

[spaceelf]

I still don't know these locations too well, so everything's a little weird.

 

It was funny when I went up a hill to get to the next one and jumped straight into a tree. :D There's some tree hugging action for you!  Or something.

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.

[Jon]

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?

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

Don't know if people are still playing :P but there was an update recently that added more Bucket List challenges. As if any of you needed another reason to jump back in ;)

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.

power slide?  you mean drift?

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?
