I am trying to understand what makes another player who rams a player into the wall or out of a check point. Specifically, why do you think that you are better at the game than the player you just bullied? I will give you the whole truth about this. First, this is the first racing game I have ever played. Second, I have severe nerve damage in both of my hands and my left hand has three fused fingers including the thumb, which is used to steer. I am not physically able to steer for myself, and with the nerve damage, I can not judge the throttle. In short, for the few races that I have won in Horizon Open, it was just my tuning that won, because I am forced to with auto steer and brake assist. I generally donât finish last, unless I am rammed, as this happens a lot. So in summery, in order for bullies to defeat a very begging player, with two disabled hands,and three fused fingers, who can only follow the blue line and has never tried to ram anyone (that would mess me up worse than anyone as anyone who has ever used auto steer knows). Wow, you are a great player, in order to beat me, you have to handicap me even further than I already am. Thatâs kinda like Tom Brady going to the Special Olympics and cheats in order to win. You are a true player and a real hero, I hope that all 4 of my sons can learn from you. (that was a joke, kind of like you rammers).
I am asking why, thatâs all, I just wish to understand how it could make you feel good about yourself for destroying other peopleâs feelings and wondering why you wonât race me fairly, after all, I already hold several severe penalties, why add more to beat me? I thought you were a great player, but really, who is the better player, the ones that race fairly, win or lose, or a cheater?
Please tell me the answer(s) to this question in the comments.
PS, I often record my play, as it is for my physical therapy, so donât be surprised if you are banned from time to time.
I donât think youâre going to get the answers here, honestly. As most of the forum posters (who arenât trolls) drive cleanly and fairly. The individuals who drive with wild abandon are rarely ever seen on the forums.
Firstly, open racing in Mexico does not discourage or penalize players for ramming.
Secondly, every game has their trolls and toxic players who get a thrill out of making other players lives a nightmare. The more they frustrate you the more enjoyment they get.
Lastly, we all make mistakes and take a corner to fast and accidentally hit someone. Or more commonly ram into the back of someone who breaks to hard or early.
What can you do about it? Not much to be frank. You can do online racing in Hot Wheels where ghosting is turned on, but not in Mexico. You could also avoid online racing and give rivals a dabble which can be quite fun. Either way ramming is here to stay until they do something bold such as ghosting players in all situations.
anon is 100% right on this matter. ive had all of the above happen to me and its just a fact in this game people will be who they are. all u can do is hope u get a good group and run the best u can and if not just try a dif group of drivers (rejoin)
This is not me being a bully as I have disabled people in my life but to improve your gaming experience why not get a steering wheel and peddle set up you might be able to enjoy the game better
As with any anonymous gaming space, chaos will turn up at some point.
However, you approach this from an angle that the players know you personally, they do not. Is the ramming wrong? Maybe to you, but to them thatâs how they choose to entertain themselves.
Itâs simply a case of removing yourself from the lobby and the situation, change class, change game mode, whatever you have to do.
I donât generally PvP, but I have been known to use a sort of âbully styleâ in racing games (against AI - or occasionally my friend who knows Iâm likely to use him as brakes - in the rare instance I drive with/against randos, I try to drive clean). Thereâs a sort of satisfaction in using another car to take a turn. Itâs similar to the satisfaction I get whenever Forza tells me I took a turn âPerfectâ or a rare instance where I actually drift (or powerslide) around a turn successfully. Itâs not usually personal (though there was a time before Drivatars when the AI in Forza Motorsport had specific names where I might have had a grudge against one of them).
Hip and shoulder happens (especially when things get tight off road in bigger vehicles) and is fine, but if you dive bomb and get it wrong thatâs not on - if you really mess up you can apologise or even give the place back.
Some people enjoy trading paint and I donât mind someone using me for a bit of stability, because this game fundamentally with varying latency alone ensures chaos as stated.
I think a lot of people overreact to accidental contact and it escalates from there.
I donât think most people get annoyed by a bit of contact here or there and everyone makes mistakes. However, there were certainly a couple of people in the trial I did who continually flew into corners not caring who was in their way. That gets pretty irritating after the first couple of corners.
This game never âguideâ player to be clean driver.
In the single player there are nothing stop you from attacking npc
and even get better win rate by divebomb them. (Since they dont run on realistic pace in higher level)
The same play style carry into online PVE and PVP.
People just think you are ânpcâ.
There are some game actually have something to stop ramming.
make your car heavier at some situation and you still maintain control when being push. Usually on arcade racer.
penalty. Usually on Sim racer.
Forza Horizon (since 4) getting more ârealisticâ but they still use the same gameplay rule(Checkpoint race. No rules no penalty)
Sometime I found it is very funny when football game(sport game) always has penalty/rules to stop player kicking others.
But in racing game(also sport game) most company still dont care putting any rules or anything.
