Forza 3

[DRD-00F]

Thursday hey?

My missus is gunna be bored on the weekend without me!

[defari]

lol the 1968 Chrysler Plymouth Barracuda Formula-S, i love it, its a boat through the twisties, but i love catching people on the back straight or the n'ring

[N-DAWG]

So looking forward to picking up Forza 3 today... then realised it was 23rd that it's available, not 22nd

[N-DAWG]

turns out K-Mart at Garden City put there's on the shelves early!! Apparently they're gonna get in shit for it too lol Good news is, it means EB were able to give me my pre-order a day early

[DRD-00F]

FORZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 3!

same

[N-DAWG]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! I must say pretty impressed thus far... the game play definitely is smoother than Forza 2. In car view is awesome!

[DRD-00F]

Yeah, I like it, I can really feel the dynamics of the engineering... I just turbo'd my nissan tiida shitbox or whatever and it was the wrong choice!

Going to go for brakes, gearbox and handling next

[N-DAWG]

LOL that little Nissan that you start out with is awesome!!! I'm pumping out 300+ kw on it Stroke it out to 2.1Litres, throw in some cams, get it breathing, do a turbo conversion on it (I've only gone with the sports turbo thus far), throw in a roll cage, buddy club P1's wrapped in some decent compound, and most importantly AWD DRIVETRAIN CONVERSION! Once I discovered the Drivetrain conversion that was it! Makes for an awesome car! Still understeers a bit but nowhere near as bad as FWD! You can still get it sideways though with the AWD despite its tendency to understeer, in fact I got the drifter achievement in it But yes, the thing friggin LAUNCHES!! I've got the level 1 brakes at the moment, needs more stopping power though... LSD was a must, just went with a 1.5 way. But yes, with it stroked out, blown, bigger cams, upgraded pistons.. that little Nissan is soooo damn quick! Oh and transmission! Didn't go as far as a racing transmission, just the sports one and it smashes through the gears quick enough.

Anyhow, I think 4 hours is enough Forza 3 for the night haha Definitely worth buying!! Night all

[N-DAWG]

Oh and by launches, I mean it does 0-97km/hr in little of 3 seconds It has been gutted though... BUT there's still a decent amount of power left to unlock in it..just need to do more races to get cash

[DivHunter]

The greatest racing game I have every played.

[DRD-00F]

lol, I farked that little piece of shit off quick smart! Bought myself an oldschool Fairlady Z, dropped in an RB26, AWD, lightened it, did brakes, gear box, suspension, 255s all around etc, still have most of the power to unlock.

That thing RIPS (lol) past supras, skylines etc, raped the b class turbo races. Needs a little bit more power to keep an AWD slide going through a corner, at the moment, I'm having to smash 2nd, then down it to 1st in the last bit of the corner.

smashed 370Zs etc too in the fairlady tournament!

That car was my baby in the last game and I'm SO GLAD they included it!

I also love how every car is automatically unlocked at the start of the race, you just need the money!

also, that rewind feature is awesome, even though I keep forgetting about it, I only use it if some bugger brakes infront of me and I 'orange' my engine

[DivHunter]

The only thing I don't like is the artificial slow down on the tracks with the speed bumps instead of sand traps. How am I supposed to be all awesome and flip my car and shit if they go and do that?

I lul'd at myself being in the top 1% for F and E class, what does that even mean?

[DRD-00F]

Yeah I wasn't too impressed by that either, I was like, ZOMG, IT'S PAVED! MASSIVE SHORTCUT!

wrong

[DivHunter]

I rarely buy cars in Forza because generally I buy one then win the same one on the next race/level so I have used the Fiesta, 500, Brera and Focus RS so far.

How sweet is the Collectors Ed. though? I've picked up a few special addition type games over time but F3 I think, simple but impressive not just a map and some plastic crap.

[DRD-00F]

How big is the memory stick that came with it? I just got a free 8Gb one yesterday so it was a bit unnecesary, and I don't think I'll be using the keyring

Nice though, and the box is top notch n shit.

I HAD to buy that car (it was only like 5000cr) cause I know how awesome it can be! I was sick of all the little square boxes I was winning.

[DivHunter]

Only 2GB.

Why did I come to work today?

[DRD-00F]

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing...

Could so be at home, ordering pizza and racing n shit

[rhys5169]

any of you boys dabled with the drift mode yet, namingly fujimi kaido track?? im after some honest opinions from car enthusiests not 12 yrold gamer kids lol. like can you do slit screen on the above track, so my brother and i can f**k around on it in the same room or does it all have to be online??

i was gonna go pick up a 360 today with forza and put a pre order down on the new gta and l4d2.

[DRD-00F]

haven't tried the drifitng to be honest, I will though when the fairlady is up to standards

[DivHunter]

There is split screen if you go into Free Play, I haven't checked what modes though.
