Forza Motorsport 4 Impressions From the OS Community

[goh]

Wow what a disgrace. You need XBL Gold to get the VIP cars. I paid an extra $20 for the special edition already,I think I should be able to get them.

[goh]

The auction house is handled extremely poorly. I managed to report someone's auction just hitting the button trying to bid again. I have to go to "recieve credits" and get my credits back before being able to bid again if I don't have enough. What kind of non-sense is that? Count what I have in there and what I have now,that doesn't seem so difficult.

I also always wondered why that online race at the test track that's easy money couldn't be done offline...there's no custom offline races!? That thing ends up paying out like $300k combined when adding driver and affinity level bonuses,most I've got offline is about $40k.

Though I was able to get my VIP cars thanks to the free weekend can't sell those either. I don't want a Halo car. How am I ever supposed to get anywhere? What piss poor design to have the only decent payouts be in an online custom race that you don't even play against other people for.

Epiphany! They pulled this crap to make people spend real money to buy the car tokes.

[goh]

Good lord! They let fellow club members drive up auctions too. I also like how someone puts a number on it and charges 2 mil over in game price.

This went from good to decent to in the gutter to whatever's after in the gutter.
When I finish this I'm giving away at least my "exclusive taste" cars,I've got 4/5 now. But only to fellow silver members (or just one person maybe) since we really got screwed here.

Picked up the game and absolutely loving it so far. Bought myself the RS5 and I am set.

The picture mode is simply, undeniably, stunning.

Ahhhh good to hear. I have been having a blast playing the Lemans Series online with mixed classes. Talk about some intense racing. I will send you a FR.

When you have a good group this is by far the best way to race online.

The R18s is a monster

This game is the only reason I own my 360 lol. My wife got it for me in November for my bday, because we would always play it at best buy, and it has turned out to be such an awesome gift. With as many hours as one can sink into Forza, it's well worth owning a 360 for.

Definitely the best racing game out there... challenging, fun, gorgeous, and at the same time VERY user friendly.

Yeah, I'm turning the corner (zing!) on my preference of GT5 to this. I really, really, really like the AI on CPU controlled drivers.

I'm considering joining a car club just for the hell of it - I am enjoying offline so much I don't care about online.

The cars are just sick... SICK. I'm completely in love with my Audi RS5. That alone was worth the purchase.

The cars are amazing... and ALL OF THEM have detailed cockpit views. The only things I wish this game had are night races and rain. That's a small tradeoff to make though with how awesome the rest of it is.

Oh, and coming up in May?? The Porsche DLC
