Early impressions/mucking around in Forza Horizon 5 on DD2

Finally got it to work hey? Offroad surface FFB is good for what it is, actual tarmac is ass. You finding performance tanks hard when the GPU is encoding at the same time?

[@PaulisGaming]

Not thrilled with any of the ffb at the moment, but I haven't done much tweaking. There's so much bullshit to get through before you get an opportunity to just blast about and adjust haha. Performance does take a remarkable hit while capturing. Had to step back to 4xmsaa and ease back on ssao and ss reflections.

@@PaulisGaming yeah it seems like there's a lot of tweaking needed. I liked all the effects for offload, no doubt none of it is realistic though 😂 I hated all the crap at the start. Who unironically enjoys that stuff??? Glad it wasn't just me who had mega issues with GPU encoding. Game runs fine and looks good, but it's very clearly in early access 😂

The story mode stuff is the actual worst. All these people who keep wanting stories in their racing games need to get off my lawn.

[@GorillaSnapper]

I dont "inherently" hate story modes in arcade games, but it needs to be one of two options: kinda like Football Manager where it's really not intrusive with lots of neat data, or basically Fast and the Furious. If you have a story mode, I better care about the people in it, rather than some random people in mexico who are going to some car festival that nobody actually gives a shit about? Need for Speed has gotten this right for the most part
