Forza Motorsport 3

[=KoS= Tripod]

I just got the game a few days ago (for my birthday) and I'm wondering if anybody else here plays it

If you wanna play with me, my gamertag is ManCowFish. I don't usually talk because my mic REALLY sucks
It makes a really loud buzzing sound and makes everyone echo whenever it's plugged in (it doesn't even have to be on)

But if you want to go have some fun racing, drifting or whatever, just send me an invite telling me that you saw this on the forum or reply here

Forza 3 is one of my favorite racing games, I haven't played it for a while, but you can go ahead and throw me a friend request if you want, gamertag is my username on here.  And I don't really talk much on Live anyway lol.

Gamertag: Saber15   (who would have guessed?  )

Does it have any damage modeled?

Yeah, it's not like grid (flying tires and the front of your car getting squished like an accordion) but it's a lot better than GT 5
These are from forza 2

Damage is purely cosmetic unless you enable Limited or Simulation damage, in which you can basically total your car (and loose money at the end of the race if it's damaged, but get more money if you go through without damaging your car).

Nah, don't like. I want to get more money if I crash someone else's car

You kinda do, since you can smash them off the road then get 1st place. Of course, if you do this online you will be votekicked and given negative feedback  .

I was racing online a few minutes ago, and for 3 races in a row, there were two of these idiots racing with me.

Every time they were kicked, two more would join, and they would always go after me (shiny green Lambo I guess)
At the end of each race, me and one of the jerks would be like 40 seconds behind everyone else, unless the other dude got somebody too.

First time I've seen so many dedicated ass-hats in one place
(I gave them all negative feedback, so hopefully I won't see them again)

Don't get me wrong, I do not like disrupting others game, but I DO like racing games/simulations that allow some contact or even promote it, like Flatout 2, which is one of the best racing games I know.
Pure simulation is kind of a bore to me...

Did you try Split/Second?

You set off traps to try and take out your opponents, so most of the time YOU aren't doing the damage, but the environment is (You can still push guys into walls and all of that)
It got pretty good ratings (8.5ish), and the demo was fun

I was just playing around in free play, because I can't afford the R1 cars yet, and I noticed something a little odd.
I was playing on Expert difficulty with a Microsoft steering wheel and at first I thought the AI was too good, because I couldn't go past a corner without spinning out, and at the start of the race I would usually stall, and then spin out from mashing on the gas. I went in Hot Lap mode, and practiced on Sebring for about 25ish laps. Eventually I could anticipate when the car would spin out and what not to do, so I thought that I could now compete with the AI

I set up a race on Sebring, started driving, and quickly figured out that the AI had the balls of an unborn fetus!
Every turn, I would crash into the back of their cars because they were going 20 mph slower than me, and hogging the whole road.
The second I get past them I begin building up a huge lead and lose sight of them in my rear view mirror.

I'm not sure if this is only on Sebring (I tried a few other tracks, but I'm sure that I could of done better) but the R1 AI is really weak.
Anyone else experience this?

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

No that's about right, it's harder with a game controller to maintain the lead as the cornering is odd.  The best races i've had is when they computer has cars that are tuned/speced way better than mine.  I "push" my way to the top spot but since the comp has better specs they can always keep up.

[=KoS= Tripod]

Oh, I thought it was bad R1 AI, because the AI is about as good as me or better in the R2 and R3 classes
I can beat them fairly easily in any other class though, just not as easily as R1

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

R2 and 3 are harder in that if you make mistakes it's much harder to recover from them since everything is so fast imo
