Whats Forza 5 like online?

It's great. I find the community in general tends to play decent. There is the occasional troll that causes collisions or runs you off the road if you try to pass… but generally it's pretty good.

 

Thanks just going to give it a bash while the boys are asleep. will see how i get on

 

Ive tried joining online and it cant find me a match im trying beginner c class and no collisions b class, am i doing something wrong?

 

LIVE was having issues earlier today. It looks like it's back up now. Still having issues?

 

seem to be doing ok when i first got forza i couldnt get online just wouldnt let me. and yes u go on my profile and then my upload also if you go to upload u can see ur friends clips there

 

yep still cant find me a match, think il try again tomorrow. have seen the clip very funny

 

I like to bash other cars too in Virus Tag. I don't do it allll the time otherwise some get annoyed err this kid err... They don't call it a playground for nothing. It's what most peps tend to do anyway in Forza 4/5. Should see my windscreen and car markings.
I did it a lot in Forza 4 and some French dude just laughed. It's fun to see cars doing summersaults in the air

 

That's the good thing about that type of game mode, that's what you are meant to do, but when you are in a regular circuit race and people treat it as a destruction derby race it soon gets irritating. I've always noticed in racing games like Forza, that
if someone rams me or even lightly touches me I go flying off into the wall, but if I do the same thing, I'm the one still getting flicked into the wall.

Possibly due to connection/lag?

 

It depends on how you are hitting them or getting hit... (Don't try this at home boys and girls) if you come at them from the end of either side of their bumper and push towards the opposite side of the car it will send them spinning. Also depends on the
car you are driving. Minis and the like fly off the track if breathed on wrong. Larger cars don't tend to go flying off the track but can it hit right. The physics in this game are amazing.

 

I try to hit them head-on. In Forza 4, In the map with the aeroplane, theres this grass patch which r-e-a-l-l-y slows down your vehicle. I enjoy watching the other vehicles take 5 or 10 minutes just to try and get you. I use to go there a lot. If I'm not
hitting and crashing, I'm usually playing cat and mouse. I pretty much never play any of the other playlists. I like playing soccer with your car too not too sure if it's in Forza 5 but it is in Forza 4. Just to let you's know in real life, I aced my Learners
and when I sat my practical test licence 3 weeks ago I aced that too with no critical errors (in my country you're only allowed 2 critical errors which include failing to do a shoulder check and very simple things which are easy to forget). It's a game and
a playground playlist so take full opportunity of it.

 

I've always been aware of PIT moves and larger mass vehicles travelling at a higher velocity with all the juicy physics and all that, but I'm meaning even when we're driving the similar cars at roughly the same speed then they will launch at my door or rear-end
me sending me flying and if I do the same thing to then on the next corner or whenever I get the opportunity I still come off second best.

Maybe they are just pros at doing it and have perfected the art of ramming to the point where they can hit that sweet spot.

 

well cloud learned the hard way lol i had a sting ray and he had a scooby WRX he hit me from behind he span and i kept going and his reaction was "i need a heavier car"

 

Yeah, I learned the hard way so did my car lol. Thankfully you don't have to pay for repairs otherwise Gh0st would of bankrupt me lol.

 

There is nothing better then driving up behind someone and clipping the back of their car to cause a wipeout. I personally laugh uncontrollably when the person rages. That makes them even more mad, but I love it.

After that I constantly look in my rear-view mirror and when I see them I do a 180 and try to hit them head-on.

Basically, you don't want to play me because I'm a fun ruiner in this game.

 

That's not ruining the fun dude! That's making it more challenging

I do the same if I can help it. Most the time though, I just fail.
