but people will still ram you

Next step; Euthanize wall riders and rammers

@@0Blueaura I had some guy competing in a community championship with me. We were behind the lead (our guy), and he decides he wants to pass. Instead of doing a normal pass because his car outperforms mine, he gets neck-in-neck with me and veers across two lanes to try and knock me off the road. Stabilized the car, but never understood what that idiot was doing.

Good Informative enjoyable video. Please do more car reviews the Porsche 966 review rocked

@BlueAura IKR

You will fail massively if you don't drive clean in Gran turismo, it basically forces you to drive clean

Its like my mom and dad! Mom: Heres a knife,your knuckles should be out when you cut something. Dad: heres a knife,dont die.

Edmund Ng I needed that! 😂👌

Gran Turismo: *touch grass briefly* Also Gran Turismo: *lose 50 mph instantly*

@@kvltizt Forza: *Gets cocky and thinks I can make the turn going 200 mph* The Turn: "Haha, funny, but no."

Hi

Tbh they should, Right now the online community is toxic

@@bert4969 "DEFFINTLY" lol

Yeah since they based the ai on us, complete bs

Wth

What about drift adventure

Takumi takes it pretty straight compared,to the other cars

*eurobeat intensifies*

@@InForTheLonghaul whats funny I bet you had well over 1000 people read all 3 of these comments but had no clue who takumi is or what Initial D is

@@InForTheLonghaul yo chill he was joking just shut up

Ikr, full throttle lol. On controller it is a little better cuz u can somewhat control the throttle, I wish I had a wheel tho

@@Didbocb having a wheel in forza is terrible. I have a Logitech g29 and the second someone taps me I spin out and come last

@BaTtLeFiElD ThReELMG yeah unless your doing sim racing controller is better

i use controller but i really want a wheel

Ppooooopoolloloplolollllllllllllllolllll no it

Watch Isuckatdriving

oof

I played on keyboard and Xbox one controller with assists disabled expect abs. I absolutely beat the crap out of unbeatable ai in every terrians of race. It's take practice and some time to get better with skill. Orrrrrrr you're using bad tunes that affect factor of handling and performance to making you drive like shit.

playing on keyboard is quite manageable, besides being disadvantaged in braking, the immediate steering response is something only keyboard or maybe a controller can achieve, driving with a wheel is way harder. and yea throttle control is more manageable if you get the correct power level settings with a car.

I play perfectly fine without traction control on keyboard

so true tho

that was the main reason i quit with nfs in 2015

just bring it down to s2 youll see ahuge improvement in your positions

But the highway runs be getting me tons of influence. What gives?! Lambs 🐑 excluded. Lol

SIKE i use a ferrari

Konisseg

imo A class is the most fun racing in competitively.

I just bought this game and I feel attacked lmao

@@thebepis712 exactly the same :D :D

Dang it! I didn't know I could be so toxic... Luck I didn't play pvp yet.

ouch

literally all the newbies and noobs use these

Exactly why I've NEVER played an online race in a Horizon game

yes use this as a intro vid for all forza races

agreed HokiHosh please see this

Yoo... I do this too much. I don't typically follow proper racing etiquette because I find it too difficult (which is why I'm usually a solo or ghost player), so when someone gets in my racing line, it can be difficult to slow down in time to not wreck into them, especially when they're braking. The result is usually a lot of *bump, bump, slide, bump, slide, slide, hit wall against them, pass, apologize, continue to race,* all while cursing at my own inability to correct the situation properly. Getting better, but no one else follows the racing techniques I've been using for 15+ years. It can be hard to adjust.

In forza horizon 5 hopefully they add a system so that if a player is going way faster than all the others, that player is ghosted. So then they will pass through you and then they will slam into the wall.

Yeah I try to get up there in the top 50 but its pretty dang difficult

@@thatpersonthatguy it takes a lotttttt of practice and patience my friend. Keep at it, I'll see you on tbe boards! 🤘👊

I'm complete garbage at this game. But hopefully now I might be able to get better

I haven't checked but in FM6 my laptimes was matching amongst top 50ish, around top 30th for i think one track too and yeah it's impossible to find anyone fun to play against, especially clean drivers. Doesn't help sorting out an online race between friends is for some reason the hardest thing in existence, spending 20+ minutes between each race just getting people to survive past the picking a car part and NOT getting jumped into separate events xD

@@JoshuaJayMyers I'm in the top 100 at the Ambleside Village Circuit (fixed cars) and honestly racing in Forza Horizon is not fun at all. Ramming, track abuse, and AWD being always superior. I bought F1 2019 a few months ago and Asetto Corsa today and honestly my skill has improved amazingly, and you can enjoy racing without getting punted off every corner.

How's your progress coming along? I'm currently delivering Tofu going over 200 mph on roads and sometimes nearly crashing into people's homes.

Update us

I have been practicing drifting a bunch. I went from only being able to throw the tail end of the car out and lose control but now i can confidently say i know how to manage throttle control much more now. Not only that but i have a better idea and grasp on throttle management. Which in my case means i can drive my car knowing how it will react to my controls. I'm far from perfect and haven't done any street races recently but i think any practice is still good practice. I found that in edinburgh you can drive between powerlines or whatever poles they are to get a very good feel for how your weight transfer handles and at speeds which your car can handle. Also you can step it up by going faster and going between every other pole. But that requires more skill so start slow and easy first

@@christianlee1151 That’s some gamer moment type stuff right there. Keep it up. 👍

We need an update

ya-yeet

Ayyy

it's really fun and you can shift faster than auto or manual w/out clutch if you find the golden spot between your last 500 rpm and the redline and don't release the gas when you shift.

It’s easy

Sheeeiit easy to play

Yeah I hate deliberate ramming, you can just tell they're prepping for it sometimes so you have to try and pre avoid it.

well you are in luck because with the newest update rammers are f*cked now. (If there is a big difference in speed, collision will be turned off :)

Wow I'm sorry I didn't know "ramming" was such a disrespectful thing in this game. Honestly I had my first contact with racing games with the "arcade" ones (?) (AKA NFS Underground, like most people) and I could only beat the game using the "ramming" technic (wich I was very proud of). I find it very funny to be honest, like using the bots to make the curve using no break XD. I'm sorry.

Ω Louy Maracaipe Ω I don’t care about it offline, but online, it ruins everyone’s game

@@caden3122 not to mention it makes me go on the offensive against rammers til I get them to quit because of trash they are during online races.

Sorry but that may be good for very experienced player. When I don't know the track by heart... It's impossible to take corners well like that. Same goes for camera I prefer wheel cam but in fh4 I need to see where I'm going first....

It is difficult at first, but after some time no matter where you drive you just know how to turn. Also I don’t like looking at lines, ruins good game aesthetics:P

Remember when games didnt have racing lines? We'd be screwed these days haha

I never have the lines enabled, or rewind either, both feel like the game is assuming I can't play videogames. "Hey player, this might be your first ever videogame so why don't I show you exactly when to brake and turn. Crashes? What crashes? Let's just rewind that"

@@Cypeq according to what I can understand, just remember this tip. Whenever you turn in any racing game, no matter how tight the turn is, try to stay on the inner side of the turn. Combine this with drifting, you can take on the tightest of turns while losing very little speed.

Explanations** 🖒🖒

Yup the damn AI and their ford focuses

Apparently if you check the telemetry on unbeatable AI in Forza 7, they ouput WAY more horsepower and torque than they should be able to with the cars they use. TL;DR, they are essentially cheating.

Yeah feels like they break physics

Yes, its confirmed that they rubber band badly. The only recourse to beating them is to fight your way to the front immediately because they won't really pass you or hope the course you're racing on has lots of turns because they are awful at corners.

I've thought this the few times I've faced them. I remember once in Forza 7, I did a race in the Hoonicorn against Unbeatable Drivatars and I was only a corner or two ahead of a STOCK Hoonigan Escort. Here's where it gets funny though: I liked using the Renault F1 car for credit grinding long races around Road Atlanta, and the Drivatars' lap times were four or five seconds behind me with identical cars. LOGIC!

Very true, I trained myself in online racing with rwd cars for a few months and my throttle control has gotten top notch since I started playing

Rwd cars more fun especially on dirt tracks

RWD is nearly unusable on keyboard.

@@spinyslasher6586 it depends on the cars (yes I'm looking at you regera) on MnK i personally don't like AWD cars especially when drivetrain were swapped from original it's just weird

@@newbplaygames You can drive lower class RWD cars on Keyboards.

Rain without the \

S ame

well purpleguy123 is explaining how to drive cars with different layouts and brakingtimes in his horizon guide to xy

Im all or nothing baby!!!

The perfect controller is the Xbox search-for-controller button

Yeah, manual shifting seemed scary to me at first but now I actually love it and find it way more fun than automatic! I still have no idea what to do with the clutch though, that version confuses me a lot. (edit: I know irl you need to use the clutch every time you shift but the Forza version seems to work differently than I expected and it's super difficult)

Crystal Hamilton And now?

Steve get good

John Smith can really get good if you are rammed of the road and miss a checkpoint huh

Crazy geez88 get good mate

@@JohnSmith19282 get good

John Smith It doesnt have to do with “getting good”, when youre being hit by two or three cars at once. If all three are squeezing you out, going through a corner, youre going outside the checkpoint. You cant push them all around, you cant warp speed ahead, and sometimes you cant get behind them if there’s already a car blocking you in back.

Ar12 his ass always yelling bout sum

I'm using an 8bitdo controller and the triggers aren't analogue so I have the same problem as you :(

Just buy an aftermarket Xbox 360 wired controller for Windows, they aren't that expensive and they are an incredibly necessary purchase for PC gaming as most games are optimised for X360 input

I never understood how someone could even enjoy a race with a keyboard, seems like it would be very annoying

I like to think my dislikes are just innocent misclicks 😅

Could also be professional rammers who get 1st every race and doesn’t believe a word in the video. Very good explanation on a somewhat nuanced topic, maybe this will help keep turn 1 a little safer in the future

Idk probably just frustrated people looking for answers in the wrong place. The majority of these videos reference in depth procedures fromnother videos of his. You either get it or you dont and when you dont get it you dislike the video because youre upset. And anyone who thinks thats unreasonable could offer constructive criticism but generally default to: lol git gud

Plus theres the manual with clutch gang apparently

nope its because he said dont drift drift can be good tho in very narrow roads but it has a risk +(how you drift) he needs more attention tho (and more subs)

BA HET hope you continue to improve man!

Drift = gz with last place in race.

🤣

He only wins because he doesn’t race anyone

That's why he was always in the last positions when he tried WRC; all the best rally drivers are very smooth.

I can see an exception when driving some cars in dirt tracks :P

So what do you use manual or automatic?

J - Panio Plays always manual. You have much more control over the car.

@@skimz2012 thanks

which actions?

@@Uncle_Glock Was thinking a bit about acceleration and braking. I struggle with the buttons a bit. I tend to go full on or off which is not most effective. Also gearing is my next thing to learn. Im just using auto and hope to go to shifting soon.

@@dgs127 are u using controller or keyboard?

@@Uncle_Glock controller

@@dgs127 since you struggle with accel and braking (which uses the triggers), you should practise enough to know how much you have to depress the trigger according to your car. going slow for a start is really helpful, its forgiving because low powered cars dont spin out as often but that doesnt mean you dont control the braking or accel strength of the car. i use the wheel and pedals, and from my exp its all about holding back on your input right at the moment you feel the car is starting to slip, at that point u can still save it and prevent it from oversteering. braking is actually the hardest to master, with sport/race brakes and sport tires/race tires, your braking strength can go up to 92%. accurately hitting this value on the first depress of your trigger will be achieved thru muscle memory! so practise. tl:dr practise on a slow car. for accel, never start on full depress. for braking, aim to depress to 90% of your trigger without needing to find out where that 90% is. im not sure if controller is calibrated the same as pedals, but basically 90% represents the pressure at which your wheels won't lock but you're braking hard.

Why hello

Or experienced players that feel offended lmao

or people that need further help

Or ppl who rlly like drifting

Wall riding is what i do best tho

@@apexfenix9623 wall riding is as ez as riding your mo- sorry. Wall riding is easy so really u dont need much skill to wall ride.

Im abs off normal steering when racing(as I often try to over compensate when I get oversteer) and simulated steering when drifting. Im still getting used to it but ive already gotten into the top 3% in a few drift zones

Sim steering takes out the assisted aspect of normal steering, giving you full control of how you turn. It.. also can cause you to spin out easily if you flick.

They just thought you could use a "refresher"
