Before you read my issues, I just need to make something clear: I do not hate Forza Horizon 3. By all means I don’t think this is a bad game…I love this game in fact…but I believe there are things in this game that NEED to be fixed As soon as possible.
random crashes. They’re annoying. happens when you manually enter a festival site.
Skylines get no v12 engines. Normally I wouldn’t mind about this…but when you allow Mustangs and Corvettes to have v12 engines but not skylines then that’s a serious problem…Why so much hate to skyline? They feel guttered and left there to die.
Championships do not give bonus xp/credits and are useless after you upgrade all your festivals…then what? What purpose do they serve now?
Lots of indestructable trees to the point it gets a bit overwhelming. I mean…I can understand some things can’t be destroyed…but why is there so many of them?
The Centenario handles a little TOO well, don’t you think? I mean when it comes to speed and handling, not many cars can compete against it. It’s to the point EVERYONE has this car or plan to get it. It doesn’t sound like a very diversed game if people just drive the same car.
Barn finds seem a bit iffy and uninteresting. Some were good…the rest, not so much. There were no supercars in this year’s Forza which is a huge letdown.
There are no penalties to people who drive dirty(Ex: ram into you, run you off the road, etc.) and it ruins the multiplayer experience(to me at least.)
I’d add more but I realized the other 3 are completely biased opinions. The skyline issue isn’t as much of an opinion and more of a fact that seems to have everyone agreeing on me with.
Yeah, I could see that being annoying. Hopefully they get the PC version sorted soon.
A well-built Skyline doesn’t need a V12
Because it’s a racing game!
Drive a car through a forest at high speed IRL. After you get out of the hospital, tell us how many large trees broke when you hit them.
I’m lvl. 200+ and don’t have one. There are classes OTHER THAN S2, y’know?
The barn finds are classics. Over all 3 FH games, only a couple of them have ever been supercars. It’s also a matter of perspective: The Jag Mk.II and Charger Daytona were VERY fast cars back in their day.
Yeah, that’s always been an issue (in ALL racing games, not just Forza). Bring back UCPLs!!
There is a penalty online for crashers, they miss out on the clean racing bonus which is double compared to FH2 and is very handy in the xp championship.
I think there aren’t enough indestructible trees. There’s a lot of foliage (especially in the rain forest) that the cars just tear through like paper that in reality would do some serious damage to a vehicle.
The Skyline or should i say all skylines in forza h3 are rubbish to say the least. Its like the developers hate them. none of them are accurate in performance and why are they all different power outputs from standard? There the same engine so should all start at 320 bhp (to all future commenters that dont know thats the real bhp not 276 bhp legislation japanese max output agreement) so shouldnt all skylines max out the same too? R34 tops over 1000bhp where the R33 around the 650bhp mark. Also the rear bumpers should come with different exhaust tips especially topsecret on both and nismo. Get this sorted and the acceleration is appaulling too. My r33 doesnt start struggling after 110 like this game even with 400bhp in this game the cars feel so dumbed down
This game shouldn’t have huge penalties for dirty laps. It is not a FIA approved professional race. it is a fun arcade racing game with street and off road racing, dirty laps and time penalties do not make sense for this style of racing. There should be contact allowed in a game like, I guess it would be good to have an option to include penalties in the blueprint mode but for most racing, including online I’d rather they left it as it is. Most of the crashes happen at the start as everyone is impatient like almost every racing game ever, but once you’re past the first couple of turns and start to pull away it usually calms down and the top 3 or 4 positions are usually good enough to avoid crashing.
The deliberate ramming just to annoy players is different of course but there are penalties for that, if they keep doing it and enough people report them they will be banned.
There is also genuine accidents, some corners in this game are hard to judge if you’re not paying enough attention and it’s not always so easy to tell where you are supposed to go till it’s too late. Some corners you end up ramming into the back of other players as you totally missed the turn by accident. Some players and the AI are way too early on the brakes sometimes. or brake for corners that don’t require it. Also if you play in inside view it’s hard to see were other cars are situated so you may accidently run them off the road when you didn’t even realise there was anyone there. They should have kept the arrows from FM6.
Honestly the 2 big issues I have with game right now is the wheel and the drivatars. The wheel still needs to be updated. We still need the ability to map a horn in there (a core part of the game is lost for wheel users because of this). We need tge extra sliders that the PC gets and we still need the center spring of the wheel to be sorted out. I’m also experiencing a lot of rubber banding with the AI. They also don’t abide by the laws of physics compared to the player and are extreeemly over agressive. A option to limit drivatar agression like I’m FM6 would be very appreciated. I do feel that the Centenario is too overpowered and should be nerfed a little. Even the stats of the car game when i’ts maxed out in S2 class are mind blowing to me. With those kinda stats it should be at least X class. It has (correct me if I’m wrong) like 9.0 speed, 9.3 handling, 10 accel, 10 braking in S2!!!. Since the recent patch the game doesnt seem to crash as much to me which is good. There are a lot more things to fix but I think my post would be as big as H3’s map of I had to list them all
I think the PC users should convert to Xbox one we don’t have any of these issues. My Thrustmaster TX Italia wheel is rock solid.
This is on the Xbox of coarse lol I was a pc user once to much fing upgrading to be able to view good graphics and things like
this. Any ways hope you all get it fixed up.
Yep. Happens to me once a day on average (on Xbox). I would bet money the problem is a memory leak, and entering a festival is like smacking an already cracked window. Fortunately, entering a festival is the least harmful place for the game to crash. I’ve never lost any progress as a result, and after relaunching the game, I’m in the same festival I wanted to enter in the first place. I’ve also had 2 crashes total while driving around in free roam, in over 90 hours of play. That’s not too bad, by modern standards. Games are so much more complex than they used to be.
Racing for fun and profit? To be fair, I prefer redoing exhibitions. In any case, it’s way better to keep them around than to eliminate all completed events, as FH2 does (aside from buckets and showdowns).
You play long enough, and you’ll get to know by heart the difference between the paper-and-balsa-wood trees and the neutronium trees. Aim for the former.
Really? Thanks. I was wondering what to spend a wad of dough on next. Hard choice when we can’t test drive. I wish I’d driven the Centenario longer during the game intro, not that I would have been able to compare it to anything back then.
I tend to agree. The Maserati is terrific at the top of D, though. And driving these around is still fun.
Yeah, found that out quickly during the last Forzathon. I learned to aim for the middle of checkpoints in a hurry.
