Anyone else playin' this?  I built my rig just so I could play Forza 5 with some buddies, and went for the pre-release all-in package for 6.   Have only had time to put about an hour or two into it, but so far, pretty good.

I haven't setup my PXN V99 wheel/pedals/shifter with it yet, just using my old xbox 360 controller for now.

Once I can clear 130GB from my Xbox, yes I'll be playing it.

Yeah, but just playing on Xbox with a controller.

I'm really enjoying it. I only have a few complaints:

Upgrading, Tuning, Buying, and Switching cars is annoying. For example, if I'm at an event and I need to change parts on my car, it'll send me all the way back to the festival grounds in order to do it.

The open world is extremely lonely. It's like a single player game where you occasionally see another player driving off to do their own thing. I wanna see a bunch of players cruising around Tokyo, and an easy way to chat with them.

The AI is crazy. Holy crap do they need to do a major overhaul of the AI.

WAY too much traffic and yes, the AI is terrible.
I was in free roam up in the hills drifting around a blind corner and smashed into a traffic jam. There was no reason for it, they were just sitting there stopped for no reason.
The car handling is quite a bit different. I prefer the more arcadey versions.

I'm chalking the traffic up to it being Japan.    I think the AI was trained on Asian drivers.

I go between my xbox 360 controller on my gaming rig and my PXN V99 wheel/shifter/pedal setup.  It's an entry level setup, but works fairly well, though the pedals need tuning.  Brake and clutch feel kinda dead.  I have it mounted to one of those metal stands, which works decent, and have locking casters on my chair.

At the moment, I'm much better with the controller than the wheel, as I can't keep the wheel setup 24/7 due to space constraints.

As, as far as an Arfcom group... maybe someone can spin up another discord server?  That's usually what friends and I use when we're playing together, seems to work better than the in game chat.

you're playing on controller? dumb question if so is it worn out? may have to play around with the dead zones if you have a bit of stick drift.



ive played it an ok amount its almost what was hoped for for the game but there's still time and updates.

Tires.

Having the right tires on your car makes a huge difference in this game.

Im getting there, I found that driving using the hood of vehicle or road view is much better for me in handling the vehicle.

I might look into a wheel in the future but for now I'm having a lot of fun

Ps don't recall off the top of my head but I did make some adjustments in the settings as well.

Any suggestions for a wheel under 400?

Drove every road except for the roads on Legend Island. That's still locked and I'm too lazy to complete the last few races (they're all off road races with buggies or SUV's ).

I rather enjoyed the grind for driving on every road. So many cool places.

@amendment

Heres a deal on a base Logitech set. I have the version for the PS5 since Im a GT7 guys. I know theres WAY better out there, but its a great entry level to see if you like using the wheel/pedals.

Woot! Logitech Wheel/Pedals
