Notes on Forza Horizon 2

"Tuned-Port-Injected-Rage" (Tuned-Port-Injected-Rage)
09/30/2014 at 22:23 • Filed to: None

-The intro is SO LONG. You will want to break the disc in half.

-The British guy who helps you out is SO ANNOYING

-The graphics are good, but they're not by any means amazing. The XBone version is probably amazing, but the Xbox 360 version is just kind of average.

-You earn money SO MUCH SLOWER. This is especially tantalizing with so many great new cars.

-There are no more discount signs :(

-The driving feels different in general. Its by no means Fiveza, but it is better than Forza Horizon 1.

-There are ten barn finds. The first one is a Miura.

-Overall, it is very good, but I guess I expected a little more.

I've heard the XBOne version is much, much better.

The XBone version is really amazing! The graphics and sound are both great(sound is probably even better for me b/c sound bar and subwoofer). And I disagree about the money, I've played it for less than an hour including intro and all and have already made over $100k. And it's not cause I'm a gamer who's amzing at video games, cause I'm neither a gamer, nor very amazing at video games

Can you fine tune things like in Fourza(like suspension, camber, gearing, etc.) and what are the motor swaps like, Fourza or Fiveza?

I've heard the same. I mean, I wish they wouldn't make that huge of a difference between the two. I understand the XBone can handle a lot more things, but still.

It's their way of trying to get you to upgrade.

This is why I'm holding out on buying Horizon until I get a XBone. Even though I haven't had my 360 for even two years.

I'll bet it is! Super jealous of the XBOne guys right now. I wish I could buy one. And really? I've found it to be pretty slow. Maybe I spend my credits too frivolously.

I'm really not sure on that one, as I haven't upgraded anything I've heard that you can, though. And the motor swaps are Fourza style.

My first barn find was the Alpine! I can't wait to drive it, I've waited so long for Forza to have the A110!

The intro is very annoying though. It sounded more like she was about to go down on me rather than describing the festival.

Yeah, I know, its just annoying. Guess that's business though.

That seems like a good call.

Really? I'm jealous! Not that I don't like the Miura, but, like you, I've been waiting for the A110 for a long time in Forza.

And those were my exact thoughts :D What disappointed me more, though, is how they showed a '78 Silver Anniversary Corvette in the intro, but there is none in the game. Why must they tantalize me so? :(

Right now, the damn "Road Discovery +50XP" keeps popping up. IT'S SO ANNOYING. Forgot every Forza has massive glitches until December.

As soon as I could I grew a mullet and hooned an iroc.

I've been on the fence about getting this game. I only have a 360 but don't really plan on upgrading to the One. Seems like a waste... I do play Forza 4 a lot but I don't know.

YES. It was the first car I bought!

Don't get me wrong, its a really fun game. If you're asking me, though, I would wait for the price to drop a bit. The 360 version that I have really isn't worth paying $60. Wait for it to drop to $30-$40, then pull the trigger.

I'm holding out for Horizon 3, which will release about the time I can afford to buy an Xbone... After the X-2 releases.

Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do. Being a broke student even $60 is a lot of money to me. Heck, I'm scraping for $25 to order a new shifter bushing.

Did you also blast the rock station while doing donuts?

I played it for a few hours last night on the XBone. The graphics are leagues ahead of the 360 version, especially the environment. And my first barn find was the Renault Apline. It might depend on where you are on the map when that british cunt gives you your first clue.

Nah, because the in-game station isn't that good. I just turned on some Def Leppard on my phone :D

10/01/2014 at 13:19

Yeah, I bet. Like I said, I'm massively jealous of all the XBone owners right now. The XB360 version feels almost exactly like the first one. And, like you said, I guess it just depends with the barn finds. I would have rather had the Alpine.

Good thing I got a digital copy then...

-You earn money SO MUCH SLOWER. This is especially tantalizing with so many great new cars.

This is a good thing though. In 1 I got money so fast that I lost interest.

Yeah. the in game stations are ok I liked the last one's better.

Very good call. Its stupid long. As for the money, what really sucks is that there are no discounts. So you use so much of your money. I've dumped like $150,000 into my IROC-Z in the game. Its ridiculous.
