Forza Horizon 4 |OT| Seasoned to Perfection
- Thread starter Klobrille
- Start date
Yes, it's based on the stars and at its highest it's around 12000CR every day.
I'm sick of idiots bailing in the middle of a Goliath co-op. Hit me up if you want to race properly.

Interesting, I 3 stard quite a few but have several at 2 stars... And I get 11.3k per day. So if anyone is reading this, don't worry about getting 3 stars for the money.
Credits are just tough to come by man. I'm saving up for the Skill Song House and the VIP house... Hopefully the bonuses there will speed things up for me...
I am right there with you with the pain. I didn't take part in the Goliath glitch (for...reasons) but I am definitely interested in min maxing and arbitrage to some f'ing credits. Even with VIP I am so far away from being able to afford the classic and supercars I want and I am deeply into Prestige (level 240).
Are any of the cars with credit payouts from their skill perks CHEAPER on the marketplace (autoshow or auction house) than their skill credit payout??? Also could we just setup a way to sell each other that car for cheap - which I assume wipes the skill perks - and then keep rebuying the skill credit payout?
Not sure I understand what you think the gameplay loop is here.
An event pops up, you decide whether to tackle it Solo , with a friend or with a stranger , and eventually find your way to a final race that takes you across the map. The biggest improvement here is that you don't have to manage five festivals to unlock those events so I disagree about there being no progression here as in 3 , where it was all locked behind individual festivals.
The rewards , I think, do not take away from the loop here. It's still an open world racing game. If anything, I don't think the reward system adds anything at all and that's its biggest problem. From a gameplay perspective at least. Some people enjoy putting on the googly eyes for laughs.
Buying the houses aren't the goal here. Not sure where that came from. This is an open world playground to go and do as you please. What's grabbing the players attention going forward is the racing.
I think their intention with The skill points per car was to encourage players to try out and spend more time with other cars. Forza has always had a problem where the player tends to gravitate to a car or five and ignore the remaining 400 or so on the roster. Could be wrong. Don't think it's grindy as it's rather easy to stack up skill points just by simply roaming around or participating in races.
Bamburgh has a final barn find as a perk. Edinburgh has no reward from what I've read herr
It seems to me that when people complain about progression, they aren't keen on the lack of guidance or structure.
If look at the GTA model - you have a main campaign that progresses, linearly, to and end. There are also some occasionally tangent threads that also progress linearly. They tend to progressively get harder, require more resources and/or require more player knowledge.
With FH4, it's as if every mission in every thread is available instantly and there's no logical sequence to tackling them, no need to gather resource and no increasing demand on player ability.
FH4 is like an the antithesis on typical game design, and to its credit, I think that's a big part of why the franchise has blown up. You approach the game however you want and get credits for it . But, I do think they can do a better job appealing to players who value standard progression systems.
That makes sense. Someone here was asking what they need to do to get to the end credits
I know seasons are weekly, but I have two quick questions.
- When does the season change? Each Monday?
- Does the season force everyones map to change, or can you decide to stay on winter for longer if you want?
Wow @ that first video! How was that done?

I mean, you need to finish each mission progressively in the various Horizon Stories, leading up to their finales. Each of the styles of racing gives you your choice of races to eventually unlock their final Titan/Marathon/Etc event, based on XP from the races, and you build that faster depending on race placement.

I initially was skeptical about Winter cause it meant a lot of the cars I prefer to drive won't handle as well; at the same time a personal gripe about the way I've been playing this game is I keep using the same 3 or 4 cars over and over again.
Winter actually totally addressed that issue with my playstyle, and forced me to go out and buy and drive different cars I would've never usually gone out and used. It's made the game feel so much more varied and fun. Before this I never would've expected a Jeep SUV or a mid-range Audi coupe to be two of my most played cars over the weekend, but here we are!

Seasons change on Thursdays and the seasons change for everyone at the same time. You can customize the races to make a track in summer, but not the actual shared world.
I'm aware that there are finales in all of this and I'm actually fine with PGs approach, but I think a player could be forgiven for not feeling like they worked up to anything consequential.
I didn't even realize I was working up to Titan for example. I just liked doing offroad races and then it popped up. I didn't even have do all of them or get any particular placement them iirc... I could have done the same offroad race over and over, and gotten the same result. Then when I unlock and win the Championship, someone just gives me congrats over the radio and I keep leveling up to no end.

Full convoy of players who arranged to do it (convoy to avoid ghosting) and one of the players going into photo mode.
Does anybody have a suggestion for what car to use for the seasonal danger sign? Need to hit 975 ft
I uses an Agera + AWD + Rally tires. well over the required 975 ft for the seasonal danger sign
I'm not a Forza Horizon veteran (or Forza Motorsports), having played maybe an hour or two in For Horizon 1 on Xbox One X and the demo, briefly of both Forza Horizon 3 and 4. However, I've finally "beaten" Dragon Quest XI, and I've been anxious to give this some time. I've having a blast with it and, though I was very torn, I've wound going 1080p/60fps. As gorgeous as the game looks in 4k, racing games are just so much better in 60fps.
Klobrille 's OT is fantastic, but are there any posts/resources 'round here to acclimate someone like me to the finer elements of this series?

Came free with the Ultimate Edition. But yea, just tune your fastest car to S2 or X class and stick some rally or snow tires on it.
Playing on the Xbox one x in quality mode and I have been a little surprised to see the framerate tank on certain races.
The latest was the one around the perimeter of the quarry in the dark. Pretty sure the fps went mid 20s for large parts. But also not surprised given all the graphical bells and whistles happening in that one - dynamic shadows everywhere, dirt kicking up, sparks etc it was all going on.
Anyone else noticed this?

Was it in that big corner when you go right and up a big hill? As that is the only moment in the whole game it dropped abit for me. Was fine a couple seconds after that.
It was dark also and the race just started.
Thanks. Only have a PC so can't rent but I'm thinking I'll buy it when discounted
OK cool. I do like the sound of that. And I don't have an XBone, nor really play any Microsoft games on PC. If I ever do buy it on sale or something, I'll track you down...
Try it with Gamepass for a month. :)
If you never used Gamepass there is even a 14 day free trial.
It definitely takes about 10 minutes to reacclimatise. In all honestly, I've stuck with 4K 30. 30 has been fine for me in all previous horizon games, and the reduced IQ (especially draw distance of Shadows and what not) is overly distracting for me at 60 FPS option.
I have a Lambo huracan that's S2, but I tuned it for street/road racing and snow tires for the winter season. I'll try to look for a tune for it that's good for jumps. Thanks!
just eliminate team racing
people just don't care or understand
I haven't won a team racing event yet in this game. Around 40 tries. Both seasons.

This is exactly where I stand.
Its definitely jarring when you immediately switch -like to the point where I get nauseous- but after a while once my eyes/brain get used to it I find it difficult to determine when I'm playing on 30/60FPS which is further confused by the toggle needing a restart.
What my eyes/brain can't get acclimated too though is the lower resolution, muddier textures, and pop in that comes from playing in performance mode.
The game looks like something you'd see as a still on a 4K display in a store in Quality mode, the game just pops in Quality mode
I have to say the finest parts of Forza liveries has always been the idea of "what other video game thing are they going to recreate next?". My favorite is still the one I found in FM7 where someone took the 90s F1 car and turned it into the Virtua Racing car.
In that respect, so much love for the Laracer parts of this game. Given what they had, it still brings a tear of joy down my cheek to see these older games acknowledged with such love.
yes cockpit mode is not detailed enough and a little dark for me but Hood cam really scratches that itch when I'm not in the mood for Chase.
Managed to get the Lambo Veneno in a regular wheelspin yesterday. Was surprised and then I looked at how much it's worth... holy shit!
I'm fucking over winter already though. And the fact that the conditions of the events are dictated by online? Doing the Laracer challenges and I swear some are almost impossible with winter/wet road conditions, just want it to be completely fucking over so I have a better chance. Literally impossible to 3-star some of them.

talking about old video game cars, here's from that brings a certain rush to N64 players
Beetle Adventure Racing?
All time great arcade racer
I finally managed to put more time into this and while I've been having a blast and this is easily one of the best games I've played this year, the number of Championships is a little disappointing. I won't exactly disagree with anyone who thought FH3 had too many (one at every race route) but it feels like there's too few here. They're still a lot of fun and the seasonal championships is a great idea but I just feel like there could've been a few more than there are. Maybe more show up the further I get? It is more of a minor complaint in an otherwise excellent racing game. Can't wait for the Halloween Party btw!
I have mixer on the background right now and it's still giving me xp. I think it takes a bit before it starts getting xp.
I've had it up and running for four Fay's while I've been recovering from surgery and it didn't get me shit. Gonna log it out and lg back in.
