Our player character will play with the water if its knee deep. such a cool addition

​2 weeks in, 52 hours played, and I'm hooked!

​I’ve been playing for 2 weeks and already racked up 52 hours. I think about 30% of that time went straight into making liveries. Some of them are inspired by my current setup:

​PS5 (my console)

​Ubisoft (obviously, since this is their game)

​Logitech (my gaming headset)

​Plan to make MSI (my monitor) and Edifier (my speaker) next.

​Others, like Tomica, represent the diecast hobby that actually acted as a gateway drug to bring me back to racing games. It all started when I watched diecast racing videos online; it looked so fun that it made me want to play a racing game again after 20+ years.

​For the "Blue Comet", I like to imagine I have my own racing team—even though I mostly play solo and prefer it that way!

​As for the livery editor, I have to say it's a bit disappointing. It feels quite limited in terms of shapes and symbols. Compared to other games with similar customisation features—like Armored Core VI, which has a much better editor—this one feels lacking. I really hope Ubisoft updates and improves it in the future.

​Overall, I'm having a BIG BLAST so far. This is now my 2nd favorite Ubisoft game right after For Honor. Hopefully, I'll stick with this game long enough to hit 1k+ hours just like I did with For Honor!

​(What do you guys think of the liveries?)

clarence gotta worry bout me, i dont gotta worry bout him

Will the fitment on the M5 CS ever get fixed? Rear

Photo for ref

I love to cruise around and take photos, mostly BMW obviously🙆🏻‍♂️ lemme know what do u think about these and if u have any tips..

I'm struggling with points on the summit slalom:(

I might be in the minority here, but this is one area where I feel Horizon really shines.

In Motorfest while areas with heavy vegetation can look very dense and incredible in the right lighting conditions, often times I find the actual layouts feel... a bit basic and procedural with missing layers of complexity that would otherwise really make the areas feel more authentic and alive.

What i'm saying is there doesn't seem to be enough attention paid to branches/logs/dead leaves/piles etc...

It feels like there is too much carpeting with grass/ferns....more varied asset scattering could be enhanced to bring the already wonderful presentation up another notch and I hope it's something we might see on the new island.

I finally got TCM recently after hundreds of hours on both TC2 and TC1.
I'm loving the game, it both looks and run better than the previous games, and the different vehicle categories are more... different between each other.
Pit stops, multi-vehicle feats, ANY vehicle on favorites, sense of progression regarding teleport availability at the start of the game, thematic playlists, it really looks like a evolution from the previous game, and now I get why this is a completely different game, rather than a expansion to TC2.
I like this.

But there are some things I just... can't get it.
It's not like these things ruins the game or anything, but they feel out of place compared to the rest of the game regarding the quality and attention to detail.
I know that the team behind this game both listens to the community, and also works hard, so I hope this little rant is welcomed, sorry if I exaggerate at times.

And for other players, don't insult me before reading this. I critic this because I want to continue enjoying the game. If I wanted a game to be the same thing with 0 improvements over time, I would be playing certain other racing game.

• Lack of zoom out/in on the radar. This one is just plain stupid. The fact none of the 3 games had a "circuit minimap" and just (lazily) relies on the radar's GPS is already annoying. Why making it worse? Just to "improve" the quick menu? Now doing the stories, and other exploration-related stuff is a worse experience. (Note that in previous games, the radar showed the name of the location and region you where when changing the radar's zoom level. Now you have to either open the map, or drive around more so it shows again when it changes.)
• The new Favorites menu. They added a 4th space, cool, more freedom, but now (at least on gamepad) it no longer works like a radial menu, the right stick does nothing. And when opened accidentally, the natural thing to do for me is pressing B to close it, but I end up switching vehicles. It's stupid. Why is the radial menu no longer a radial menu? Imagine opening the weapon wheel on GTA V and having to press 1-8 to select a weapon instead of using the right stick or mouse? I understand they adding a different way to change cars, but why removing the obvious and natural mechanic that makes a radial menu... a radial menu?
• HUD: OMFG this is just stupid. Look, there are some really good accessibility and QoL improvements here, there IS an intent to make it better (and it is). But there are some things that seems to be designed by people who never played a racing game, let me explain:
• > Turning ON/OFF the "Position" HUD piece, turns ON/OFF the entire thing, including the numbers [for example: "pos 1/8]" AND the pictures, names, and entire annoying rectangle that takes between a 8th and a 6th part of the entire screen depending on the resolution. I HATE IT. I don't care what NPC/Player is in what position, just show me MY position and the total amount of cars with a couple of numbers. So, even if there is NO WAY for the devs to change that, consider at least making that driver list horizontally shorter, and just use "..." at the end if a username is too long
• > Changing the text size just does that. It doesn't scale the containers around it (At least the drivers position and names)
• > These names have a BIG ASS RECTANGLE so they can be easily seen, yet, the current lap and total time don't, and on top of that, they are just a minimalistic, borderless, backgroundless, colorless WHITE NUMBER. Dude, half of the time I have white clouds or direct sunlight covering that corner of the screen, I can't see shit!!!. Guys give it a semitransparent black rectangle or something, or make it black during day, and white during light, idk. (I know that giving only 1 piece of text a black outline would make the graphic design guys angry lol, I get it)
• > First person. Look, I like both 1st and 3nd person view, I change between them all the time. 1st person for realism and a challenge, and 3rd person for enjoying the views and liveries. But that damned driver list totally ruins the 1st person view. The mirrors look awesome in this game and run super smoothly, and with a decent render distance too. But it gets F***** in ass by that damned driver list. Like, just look at the screenshot, it's ridiculous! Stuff like this gets fixed in the first weeks after launch.

"Uhhh, and why don't you turn it off?"

Well, again, because it turns off the whole position thing, I can't see my current position without it.

Anyways, that's all my criticism on "Stuff that makes sense to be changed and it's not just a personal opinion on things.

For THAT, I would mention the dialogs, the gazpacho of genres that the station "Oldies" is, the lack of importance of the Boats/Planes in the game, and the hovercrafts, that are stranded somewhere back in Los Angles or whatever happened to it.

Well, that's it, thanks for coming to my CREW Talk™

I'm really excited for the trucks and the Lara Croft DLC! (Something tells me that the winch will be a test for new physics tech for truck trailers, I can feel it! Glad to see you guys doing more unique things with the game. In special when "The guys over there" are on their 6th installment and don't even try to add something like motorbikes... ON JAPAN. Total missed opportunity.)
Ivory Tower for the win.

how can anyone dislike this car

As the title suggests the only way ive seen is by buying with coins from the store but the store is very limited.

Turn of the minimap and speedometer. Hop in a rally and slow cruise for some amazing photos

What i would realy like to see is that you can scroll thru some of peoples creations with liveries.
I often find a guys/girl that makes awesome liveries!
Anybody else have the same thought or something similare?
