Welcome back to “The Fold” fellow Forza player.
I was also absent from Forza from Forza 3, but relented and grabbed a 1tbt COD. Unit and a Forza 6 1 tbt unit once the game was released in September last. I grabbed Forza 5 on sale when I got my COD unit so I could begin to get back into the franchise.
Plus I grabbed extra points for owning and playing it prior to playing Forza 6, which was a nice surprise when I fired up F6. It paid off hansomly for me with a huge induction of credits when I fired up Forza 6.
So my tip would be, grab a copy of F5, spend some time with it to win some classes etc, then pop F6 in to relieve your rewards. Rewards are given based on how long and his many cars you have PRIOR to starting the next iteration.
In F5 you’ll get a decent idea of how the game has matured. Be amazed at how different it all looks and feels. I know it will be a huge temptation to get straight into F6, but fo try and have dome gun in F5 first.
As pointed out, painting has improved dramatically, so has photography. Which has a HUGE following in the game. Some players only spending their time to taking excellent shots in all the great locations within the game.
Forza Hub is a new way of navigating through the game, the weekly events around the globe, and the various tournaments, and the huge involment that Turn 10 now has in all things to do with racing. It keeps you up today with all the news, and it’s archives are well worth taking a look at.
It also keeps you connected to your Rewards section, where you’ll be awarded points for ALL of your Forza games. We get weekly points based on our levels, which now go to Level 9. This is achieved through participation in ALL Forza franchised games. So check that out now to get to know it.
We can only Save 10 Replays, and have a limit on the.number of photos we can take. So be sure you pick you photos wisely. You can choose to upload your images to a site such as Flickr, so that you can share your images, and your various liveries you may choose to make.
We can no longer use others logos on cars IF we want to share the livery. You’ll need to copy the various logos many painters have made readily available in the image editor section.
The game itself is great, and I think you’ll enjoy going through the various sections that doodle build uou up to the quicker cars. There’s a great Showcase section for doing endurance races, plus, if you’re into the silly game races, then there in there as well. Each to their own I always say.
Do play through the entire “Volumn” rather than just for the basic 30% in order to move to the next Volumn. It’s much more rewarding learning the nuances of each car in the various classes.
Snowowl is the guy to go to if you have greviences with regards to Wreckers and the like in multiplayer events. Save the replay, then contact him with the specifics and the replay. He’ll then deal with it. It maybe take a few days, but he WILL get yo it.
There’s probably a lot more to advise you on, but the main thing is is, to just have FUN AND ENJOYABLE what the game has to offer. Do grab the ultimate bundle if it’s still avsilable, but if jot, grab the Car Oass, and the few recent DLCs and make sure you grab the Porsche Edition.
It’s not just a list of 21 Porsche’s, but it includes the great Virginia International a Raceway, but more importantly. It’s a game within the game. It has its own “Volumns” to work through, plus it also has its own “Showcase” events, info Enduro events test really do test your mettle in the game.
So, in short, just have fun and enjoy. Ad some ppl yo your friends list, they’ll be added to your Rivals so you can compete against their ghosts.
Edit: and like Swerve said, the online side of things has deteriated a great deal, especially of late, as the dredges of racing life have taken over, forcing many good racers to abandon ship, and head for the likes of PC Cars and similar franchises. It’s a sad case of affairs when this happens.
Where the hindrances of a few affect so many. Do give it a try, but try hitting up some good drivers to see if you can set up a private race of some sort.
