So, first real PC Forza game huh?
After a 50GB download on a 16Mb/s connection and a 2 hour day at College, I came home to finally play it.
For those that do not know, the cars that you can choose from at the very beginning are the BMW M4 Coupe, Nissan Silvia S15 (complete with a bodykit!), a Shelby GT350R and a good ol’ HSV Maloo.
I decided to go down the Ute path, and I did not stop (in the middle of my burnouts and doriftos) to question my decision once.
A little later on, you get a choice between 4 SUVs. These 4 SUVs are: Some BMW Xsomething (can’t remember), a Grand Cherokee SRT8, a Lamborghini Urus (this was a surprise) and a Range Rover. Naturally, I chose the Lamborghini, expecting it to be the fastest of them all.
I was wrong.
The Urus is a piece of shite when stock, the only two things it has going for it are its lightning quick shifts and its amazing exhaust note. Other than that, would not recommend.
Here is the one photo I have of the Urus:
A short while later, I was presented with LOTS of new “loyalty” cars, due to the fact that I’ve owned every Forza since 3. One of these cars was a Ferrari 458, which I absolutely loved in the previous Forzas due to the sound, the way it drives, the looks, just everything really. I took a couple screenshots with it, and they REALLY highlight the game’s amazing graphics.
This first one was RIGHT as I got the car:
This second one was on a road trip, I got a little bit sidetracked.
After I finished that roadtrip, I ended up at “Surfer’s Paradise”, a neon wilderness full of skyscrapers and high speed roads.
I wanted to take a break from racing and doing other such campaign stuff, and decided to go exploring. However, I didn’t feel like using the 458 because it performs poorly on dirt roads (so does my next car, but it’s not quite as bad 
)
I headed to the autoshow and bought a 1990 Jaguar XJS-12. Beyond the looks, I don’t really like these cars IRL because, in honesty, they’re total shitbuckets, but in a game where reliability and engine space doesn’t matter, I love this thing. 50 thousand credits worth of modifications later, this is the car… going 180 MPH!
I honestly love this thing. It looks great thanks to the classic British Racing Green colour and the contrasting aftermarket wheels (which you don’t really get to see because of my shutter speed settings), it performs amazingly thanks to that great big NA British V12 and, above all, it’s awfully tame! It goes wherever you point it with amazing responsiveness, it’s got more than enough power to properly get itself moving, it doesn’t drift every single corner… the list goes on.
I went around and discovered most of the top half of the map in this thing, and I took a couple more pictures along the way.
So yeah, that concludes this post. The photos seem to get compressed a bit when they get uploaded to forzamotorsport.net unfortunately, so they don’t look as good as they did when I was taking them. Also, sorry if all the photos eat up your data allowance if you’re on mobile 
.
I’d just like to say that if you’re worried about performance issues, don’t be. Because there are virtually none. I run at 60FPS @ 1080p on ultra settings most of the time, the lowest I’ve seen was 40 in Surfer’s Paradise, and even then it’s 100% playable. My only complaint would be the car customisation menus, they are super sluggish and freeze momentarily every time you try to select something. I’m not sure if the same problem exists on the Xbox version, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it does because the previous 2 or 3 Forzas had the same issue, they just didn’t have it as bad.
Can’t think of anything else to say so uh… let me hear your FH3 stories!
