Forza just kinda lost its racing appeal, I think. The settings are great, the visuals are great, the vibe is usually good, if a bit corny, but Forza has just turned into a hardware showcase with a good-if-dated physics model there. I don't think anyone is playing Forza Horizon because the racing is great, and that is kinda the crux of my issue with it.
Which sucks, cause I played the HELL out of FM2, FM3, especially FM4, and they have just kinda coasted since. The most recent Motorsport was supposed to boast some robust online ranked racing, and it was the most measly ranked system in existence, penalties weren't consistent, and the game has basically died out, even as of 2024.
I've wanted to go back and play Halo: MCC campaigns again, but for whatever reason, MCC doesnt allow dual-input. I have an Azeron I use cause of arthritis, which means I can't use it, because I have a full second delay between a mouse input and the Azeron input. I could just use a controller, but like...I don't wanna. Lol.
Maybe I'll keep messing with it, see if I can figure it out next weekend. You have inspired me. Also, always love seeing these!
