Forza Motorsports 3!!!

[bmike818]

WTF... Absolutely NO hood options for the S14, this is beyond GAY!!! oh and the starting lineup of cars to choose from after the initial Audi race is sooooooo pathetic. I wanted to shoot myself and forced myself to stay true to my Nissan love affair and went with the Versa. Bah, I'll try to get further with it tommorrow after work.

lol...I feel the same way, I am on that screen right now. Should I go with the Versa because it's a Nissan or get a Citroen because it looks aight?

...it's just a game, but still.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Oh an i was seriously hoping they would have put Matte/Flat/Satin finishes in the paint menu. I was also hoping for a more in depth tuning feature. This would seriously be so much better if we could tune our fuel, boost, and timing. With just those tunes on a car with mild parts upgrades would make a mild performer into a serious contender for cars with a higher rank than you.

Haha i was stuck there for about 10mins.Went with the Sit-Ro-En.

Dont regret my decision.

Thats something i was really hoping for, considering the number of aftermarket parts the game has, i thought they would atleast allow you to edit parameters such as boost and timing.

Maybe next time.

[Dittoz7]

Yea, When I First Looked At The Starting Selection Of Cars I Was .

All Ghey FWD Econo Cars That Probably Cost More Then A Damn R32 GTR.

But Then I Realized Playing 100% With The Clutch.

Their Was No Way In Hell I Woudn't Beat Down My 360 With My Controler Out Of Fustration If I Had Anything Faster.

Restarted The First 3 Races Like 10 Times, Clutch Is Now Like A Second Nature to Me.

With All The Races At 100%, I'm A Lvl 5 With 220k With A Bought R32 With Around 50-60k Of Upgrades.

Plus All The Other Car's You Win.

Tip: Like The Last Forza, They Best Modification You Can Do To Your Car Is The Weight Reduction.

[Dittoz7]

Another Thing

I Find The Reward Cars A Bit Excessive.

IIRC At Lvl 6 You Get A GT500 And At 7 A Maserati Grandturismo.

Meh, Just Seem Like There's No Reason To Build/Upgrade Up Your Current Car, If Your Just Gonna Get A Better One For Free.

Of Course This Changes As The Exp To Lvl Up Increases.

[bmike818]

Why does it feel like I am cheating when i use the rewind feature? I really like the way the car feels. I had a Fairlady with over 450hp, it kept sliding all over the place. Before I ended the night I bought an Exige, WOW it felt great.

I am using a wheel to play this game and my favorite part last night was driving the versa and feeling the FWD through the steering wheel

I did also drive a RSX type S cuz I miss my old car.......the RSX drove great I miss my DC5

[Nali]

Anyone else have the storefront crash on them?

Just sold my first car design....so i thought i would upload a bunch of the others i made....no dice, storefront crashed.Im guessing its cuz of the influx of US gamers.

And yes i skipped class and work today to play forza.

[Dittoz7]

Yea I Understand Why They Put The Rewind Feature.

The AI Is Pushy AS FCK On Hard, They Get The Tightest Inside Line And Push Your As5 To The Grass/Wall/Dirt, Ect.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Me and my buddy were talking about this game for the better part of the day @ work. He brought up a valid point, why can't you change the exhaust or the mirrors? I mean seriously, if I want to put an Apexi can on my S14 I should be able to, same goes with the mirrors. If you look at all the other car games out there that allow modifications they allow you to pick which exhaust tips you want or which mirrors or even allow you to go with a CF hood and/or trunk. Turn 10 has said numerous times that this game is just as much about modifications as it is about racing, but they limit you so much with the external mods. Do they not realize that a CF hood and trunk or a titanium exhaust is a form of lightening your car.

I'm also disappointed that they put the time in to do damage modeling and tire smoke but they can't put flames out the exhaust. Have they ever really watched any professional race? Every hard downshift and upshift those cars shoot flames, hell even NASCAR are shooting flames these days. You run rich with a straight through exhaust your going to shoot flames, I'm not saying I want 10 foot flames out the tailpipe, but a little pilot light and a pop would be nice.

Oh and the AI is brutal, they are so intent on running you into a wall or damaging your car it's insane.

[Dittoz7]

I Would Say Timing.

Next Month COD Comes Out, If I Had To Pick Between The Two My Money Would Go Towards COD.

Then Comes Christmas, Again COD>Forza.

Also They Knew They Will Sellout The First Shipments.No Games On The Self On Christmas Is A BIG NO NO.

I Believe They Would Of Put All Those thing You Mentioned If They Had The Time.

[zeause]

yeah they need flaming exhaust and a little more body and exhaust options and some more GT-R action and drag radials but the game is still awesome and very addicting. Hopefully they will have some updates.

[wannaslide]

they need more smoke

[Dittoz7]

Car Physics > Smoke

my gripes w/ Forza so far:

no GTR (R35)i didn't get my LCE theme out of the box as I should have.why do I have to pay for my special edition cars? they should go straight to my garage, not to the showroom and have to pay for them. I already paid extra real money just to get them, now they are going to take my money in the game as well.

I feel ya dude, especially with the special cars. As far as the GTR is concerned, it is in fact in the game, just as JGTC race cars. The reason why you can't use the real deal to tune and build is a combination of Nissan is not wanting to give permission for gamers around the world to destroy their flagship car, and well we all know how they feel about doing anything with the GTR besides driving it to and from work. Throw in the fact that Polyphany <sp?> designed the navigation and center console screens so they have the rights to use it in pretty much any GT they decide to put out. Oh well, I'll be more than happy to race the hell out of the Xanavia GTR.

There is a link now for VIP members for the theme, check your messages in your home, it popped up just as I was finishing a race series.

[lrb_2000]

I just picked it up today.. I'm pretty disappointed. It feels like an arcade racing game.. I want to know where they got their trailers for the game, the in game graphics do not look that great! Man.. I like NFS Shift much better.. but I might give this game a little more time, unless someone wants to buy my copy from me? lol.. Even give a discount, like $50 shipped or something. I hate wasting my money on games i'll never play. I knew this would happen, even played the demo and didn't like it, and went out and bought it! haha. I'm retarded.

[Nali]

what assists did u have on?

[lrb_2000]

All of them! haha.. I'm starting to enjoy it now that I turned most off, and getting faster cars... I've never really been into these simulation racing games, so I guess it's going to take some time. I just hall a** in my 650hp R32 GT-R for now.. I haven't tried much besides the career stuff. I just feel that i'm going to stop playing this in 2 weeks when COD:MW2 comes out

[NismoRacer34]

eh, still a great game. All of the little details that they put into the game make it well worth the money. I love that i can put an rb26 in my 240 and not have to make it awd. or put the v8 from the r390 in my skyline and keep it awd. I was just hoping for s13 hatches and widebody/flairs with larger tires. I'm pretty sure an s13 can handle more than 245's. But even still i cant even decide what nissan to race. i almost have every nissan in the game. only other car i bought so far is a miata.

News from Turn 10 camp:Apparently staff members of Turn 10 banned a member for putting a breast cancer awareness bumper sticker on his Forza 3 car.

Very smooth Turn 10, very smooth

http://consoletech.net/forum/1088-post1.html

[Nali]

Aww the guy was banned completely?Shame, thats kinda messed up T10.

But i bet after all the hype(if any) this story gathers they will undo their wrong doing....I wonder what other random words/images they will ban.

[RCA]

Yea seriously.

A warning is a must but random ban isn't a good look. And I hope they create a list of No-No words.

[bmike818]

i wonder how the car was designed?

..I have been messing with playing with the friction indicators on, it's pretty cool.

this are the free cars you get as you level up. So don't buy one, it will be free. Unless you can't wait.

You rock, thanks for the list, I'll be passing that on to my friends who are playing this.

[bmike818]

welcome

I got one more reason to rock though. Visit my Storefront for Nico Decals. Please let me know what you guys think.

they are 1,000 right now as i post. But I will change that to free when I finish eating. I don't want to pay the chief game credits for royalties.

[truckmtr240]

Hey my buddy just got this game and his BRE 510 is the best.r34 Skyline engine with awd.

[RCA]

Not only that but using a NICO decal to make money is most definitely illegal. Not sure if that complies the same way with FM3 money.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

If you guys don't have me on your friends list you need to add me, maybe we could all get together and do a NICO event via FM3.
