Forza Motorsport 3

[LeonOfTheDead]

Maybe because it was a record racer? And couldn't you drive it on the Nurburgring as well?

Nope, irrc.

I am very disappointed with the way Forza Motorsport 3 turned out.. It's not as fun to play as Forza Motorsport 2, and it does not really add... anything. The game FORCES you to auto-upgrade your car to the best possible spec, and so you simply are not challenged for a race. If I race on opponent level hard, I rarely win. If I race on opponent level medium, they're way too slow. There's no suitable level for me

GT series is basically the same, stock cars difficultly win, especially because the other cars are always slightly tuned.
Never played FM seriously, but in GT it didn't take much to beat them all. Perhaps only the Formula car in GT4 is tough to beat on some track.

The game FORCES you to auto-upgrade your car to the best possible spec,

no, it really doesn't...
i've not touched the auto-tune at all.

So leave them on hard and improve!

[whiteballz]

yeah.. Change the assists and man up?

Dont use the autotune either.. bloody hell, its not that hard to figure out..

[clutch-monkey]

haha i don't even know what the autotune does, all i remember is it wanted to charge me $20k to DE-TUNE my camaro into an A class.. not looked at it since

[pimento]

I use the auto-tune.. it's good to just bump a car to the top of its class.

[clutch-monkey]

myself, whiteballz and pimento, battling it out in the time honoured fashion of holden versus ford..

[clutch-monkey]

stay tuned for the next episode, to see how this one ends

[whiteballz]

what a horrific accident

My current WIP's..

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

Hey everyone, im currently working on a a red wrc Gronholm 206 livery for the 207 race car you win at level 16 (i think). In anycase i searched ucp and the internet too couldnt find a good picture of the rear of the car. Help me out? thanks guys.

I agree that the difficulty settings are a bit janky. I'm not a paragon of racing ability, but the hard difficulty is a little too hard. I don't mind losing a bit, I like a challenge, but it gets way hard. And yeah, medium is simple. It's not a case of just getting better, I've been playing 2 and now 3 a ton. :P

It doesn't bother me too much though because the core of the Forza games will always be the online series. Consider the AI games as practice to get you primed for the real thing.

So far I think my favorite car is the SL 65 black series because oh my god that's the most beautiful car ever made. yeah it's heavy, but it actually handles really well. I have it tuned to A class, which it already was so it's just a bit of weight removal, some custom rims, adjustable suspension etc.

That and the Z4 M coupe. I'm so glad BMW doesn't just consist of different varieties of M3 this time.

[pimento]

I auto-tuned a 512TR up to peak A class.. it's surprisingly good! Maybe even better than the 355 Challenge I did the same thing too... might have to S-class the 355.

[clutch-monkey]

yeah that 512tr was pretty damn good up the montserrat extreme circuit! i'll take some screenshots later.. maybe a vid of my roll too, haha

[pimento]

Did you get any shots of you guys drifting past either side of me on the Benchmark? That was a pretty epic move..
