I'm looking to spend upwards of $500 on a wheel potentially just for this game. It would make things so much better on my end because I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of feedback just because the controller doesn't provide very much. If Microsoft took more risks, I wouldn't have to spend as much as I'm willing because they'd have a force feedback controller like Playstation does.

All of this, even though knowing me I'd give up in 5 minutes. It's fantastic what they've done.

I agree. I have heard others play, and I'm impressed on the accessibility

Re last boost which you can read by looking at the thread: I can basically echo all of what Talon said. Sure, part of it for me is probably because I spent a lot of my childhood crashing my way through tracks in games like NFS Porsche Unleashed and watching Top Gear and other car shows, but this game, even if you’re not into the genre, is another huge step forward. I think it says a lot that even though I found starting out to be pretty hard and I wouldn’t consider myself great at the game yet, I find I keep coming back for more. A lot of it, of course, is the accessibility. And of course there are things which could be improved like the onboarding experience or having access to more information like your speed or position during a race without having to pause the game but holy shit I can actually drive these cars and take turns like a sighted person and I love it! And that’s the other thing, the cars. There’s so many of them and having played the game you can really feel how they’re different - like sure, a classic muscle car might sound much more badass than something smaller with a 4-cillinder engine but good lord they steer so much worse. But, if you find a car you like but want to improve it you can start to tune it and this is also where the game gets really fun, because you get very detailed descriptions on what each part does and you can also have the upgrades done automatically if you don’t want to go through all of them. And these tunes can have a dramatic effect on how the car feels and sounds. And that nicely leads me to the other thing that keeps me playing, the sound design is just amazing. Hearing my engine get a more aggressive growl after upgrading the exhaust, combined with hearing the pops of backfire echoing off the tracks is something else. Also, the sense of speed you hear from the whistling of a turbo, the wine of an upgraded race transmission, the rumble of the tires and the whooshes of passing scenery, it is all just sooooo satisfying and not a feeling I got from any other audio racing game. It’s just this fact that I get to experience these feelings properly like anyone else playing this game, that’s the amazing part. What the accessibility team at Turn 10 did, with help of @superblindman’s consulting, it’s awesome. This year for #GameAccessibility has been absolutely huge and I love it!

Firstly thank you. Secondly, I promise you, these people care. Here's a little inside baseball for you. We had, and still have, multiple people working on narration, and when they get a screen done, one single screen, like the popup you get when you autoupgrade forr instance, they ask me to approve it. What it narrates, the order in which it narrates it, all of that. That's just one example, but it's a promise that this is a team that wants to get it right. This isn't about business insentives, it is about fulfilling their promise to make the most accessible Forza game ever. Heck, that's why they brought in the big guns. *pats self on back*

I am still crashing my car all over the place! Keep getting 24th place in career mode, don't feel confident enough to go online until I can at least get 3rd. It is super fun but I feel like I need to watch a frigging guide on steering or something.

Oh man. I can't get the hang of steering, so I use assisted. But I still have an absolute blast with it.

@PatrickK @superblindman No just your position

The video is fine!
And your driving is great. Looks like you’re having fun.

@PatrickK @superblindman After you pause, press y to bring up the driver list, then you have to find yourself.

@GreenSkyOverMe I'm having lots of fun!

Got Forza on Steam after playing through XBox. After buying on Steam though my premium content is unavailable on both platforms. Yay... Ugh.

When I try to repurchase the DLC, which I shouldn't need to do because I have premium, it tells me I already own this DLC. This happens both through XBox and Steam. This is stupid.

Did their whole DLC troubleshooting stuff, reinstalled, nothing. So opened a ticket. Don't buy Forza on Steam if you're alreadyp laying on XBox. It'll probably mess up your stuff.

It is literally linked to the same XBox account. How the fuck can this go wrong? This is actually quite annoying. I can't continue because the cars I was using are now locked. Fantastic.

I have regrets.

No.

@KaraLG84 yup.

Damn that was meant to be a reply to the post below that one in my feed. bloody voiceOver.

You didn't even need to since it has play anywhere support. I'm sorry you're going through this man. But yeah for the future, when you buy a game on XBox, you can play it on PC from the store, too.

@Blobsta Steamdeck.

Oh, Linux?

@Blobsta I'm actually quite annoyed.

I bet. :Blobhugs

@Blobsta And with my luck this support ticket will now just sit there and it’ll be half broken forever.

Roar. Stupid freakin issues. I remember when I had to buy Killer Instinct on Xbox twice. I already had it on PC, but nope, the transition didn't work when switching.

OK so somehow the problem partially fixed itself but is also even more broken. Now I have duplicate cars. A lot of them. And some other cars still don't work. Confusing.

At least that just sounds like a bug that many people would encounter and so thus is hopefully fixed quickly.

@KaraLG84 Hehe that happens to me as well with Mona. So now I always double check

I think I need to triple check in this case. lol

@Bryn @Blobsta seems to run at 30 fps on low. And no running Windows on it.

@Bryn @Blobsta benchmark option in settings.
