The Official Forza 5 thread

[Wingznut]

I went yesterday and never could get it to load (said I had 0 points), but using that link it says I have a 3 million reward. Ha! I'll take it.


Just realized the other 2 are for Forza 4 and Horizons. Like I'm ever going to play those again...

I had to use IE (ick!) to get it to load... It wouldn't seem to work with Chrome or Firefox.

 

[Topweasel]

Ah man, just redeemed the 3 million here. Now I have to decide. Do I purchase the full season pack or just the LaFerrari pack. The game has pretty much every car I wanted outside the LaFerrari.

I was going to hold off until I had so much spare credits that I it would be time to get it. But if that 3 million holds up, then man, I will want it today (like right when I get home) giving me no chance to see what might be in the next few DLC packs before having to decide whether I will want them anyways, or whether its fluff and all i really wanted was the LaFerrari.

Edit: Was able to get it to load in FF, but I had to click the link, log into the page and let it access my Xbox Live account. Then re-click the link.

I can't get it to work at work in IE because we are forced to use an older, unsupported version. =(

Guess I will wait until I get home. It was showing the 3,000,000 credits though, which is good. It also shows I claimed a Focus ST. Guess I have one of those in my garage.

I have basically ruined my experience now after spending so much time in the Lotus F1 car. I purchased a GTR for something and it is just garbage. =( No where near as responsive. Lol.

The LaFerrari DLC (and the season pass) doesn't require you to actually buy the LaFerrari. They released a statement and said anyone who bought that DLC will be gifted the car.

Is this going to be the same for all the packs? You get gifted the headliner?

If it does, then it about clinches the fact that I will probably get the season pass.

And they gifted the Lotus F1 car outright.

It was starting to frustrate me that none of the gifted cars were in my garage... But then a few minutes later, I figured out that you have to download it from the in-game message.

They haven't said anything about future DLC, just the LaFerrari pack. Personally, I will be picking up the Season Pass this weekend. In Forza 4, the only cars I wanted from the DLC were the "pack only" ones, so I'd end up having to buy the entire pack as it is.

I'm waiting to see the cost of the inevitable "ultimate pack" and "track pack" with all of the tracks and cars. They popped up just before the console launched and then disappeared again...

wait, what? crap, i already bought season pass....

 

[smackababy]

I was wondering, since the collectors edition content was simply a QR code, could I return the item to Amazon and then purchase the digital version of Forza to keep my entire library digital download? I asked MS if they would trade me, and they said they can't. =(

Amazon might take it back but I dunno if they'll do a straight refund because of the digital content. However, the collectors edition requires the disk no? Like the digital game doesn't have a collectors edition with VIP pack etc. does it?

 

[smackababy]

The Collector's Edition game with a QR code that gives you the content I believe.

Right but does the digital game have access to that same content or is it blocked?

 

[smackababy]

I would assume it is account based because after you put in the code, you had to download the content. And, everyone else can see it with the download, they just don't have access to it.

Cause you can't buy the limited edition digitally is why I was wondering.

 

[smackababy]

Okay Turn 10, you can stop trolling us now. I just had a car pass me right before the finish line after driving like 100 yards completely on the grass off the track. The exact same grass that won't let the player go over like 30MPH on... Seriously? The AI is that bad?

 

[cmdrdredd]

That's pretty crazy...I need to start playing more to see this.

 

[cmdrdredd]

So I'm ready to buy the McLaren P1 now but do I buy the limited edition with the Forza/Xbox One livery and the race setup(wing and front splitter) or the regular one and do my own upgrades on it?

Is the Normal one with my own upgrades potentially better or are the limited edition cars maxed out in upgrades to begin with?

 

[smackababy]

The limited edition ones are not as good. The regular ones with upgrades will surpass them for the class limitations on races. I am not sure about the very top end though.

I am actually not a fan of the P1. I've raced it a few times in the Rivals and just wasn't a huge fan. My favorite car is the EVO so far.

 

[cmdrdredd]

Yeah I found out the limited edition cars have lower potential but in the class they are ranked in, they are the highest possible. For example the p1 is an R class car. That class goes to 900 and you can take the p1 and put it at 917 which makes it a P class car. The limited edition is 900 so you dont go over the class limit. The normal p1 cannot be tunes to 900 but I did manage to get it to 896 which is close.

I saw this link on another site, log in with your Xbox Live account. I am just getting a spinning circle so far but it is supposed to give you credits if it sees you have played past Forza games

 

[thegimp03]

I am sad to see that the 787B is a DLC car, and I don't normally buy into DLC, but maybe I'll have to this time just to get it.

 

[smackababy]

It's not a DLC car...

Well what it does is rate you based upon set markers in each game and assess "Forza" level value to that in terms of tiers and each payout is 1 Million F5 credits and 60k in 4 and Horizons. You can get several tiers just for playing F5. It had tracked pretty much only my Horizons and the work I did in F5 so far and I was at Tier 3 and 3/4 the way to Tier 4.

The difference in the quality of the drivatar racing between "expert" and "all-pro" (I think those were the names, third from hardest and second from hardest) is ridiculous. The all-pro racers are fast and don't spend half the race trying to wipe you out.
