Re: Forza Horizon 2 (XB1, 360) - Fall 2014
So I'm totally hooked on this game now, and I haven't even touched any of the true multiplayer stuff.
One question regarding drivatars: how accurately do they represent a player's skill/style? Coming from the Burnout and NFS games, I was determined to at least try to make another car crash in a bad way. So I may or may not have spent a good 30 minutes following another forum member's drivatar around, aggressively pushing it into trees, oncoming traffic, walls, etc.
Is this going to make my own drivatar super aggressive around other real players? If so... I'm sorry in advance for ruining your fun.
edit: Feel free to add me on XBL. My gamer tag is in my sig. I won't bite.

I "completed" the single player campaign, at least so far as doing the final ~15 minute race. I guess if you keep playing, another one of those will unlock. Right now, I'm just completing all of the bucket list stuff and the barn finds, not to mention all the random XP boards. I've absolutely had a blast playing this so far, and there really is a ton of stuff to do. This may be my best full-priced purchase so far on the XO, at least in terms of content for the price.

Since I went ballistic over some of the low review scores for DRIVECLUB that I thought were unwarranted back when I was under the impression that game was, you know, playable, I felt it only fair to post this insane review here from a purported driving game enthusiast who gave FH2 a whopping review here

My save file became corrupted somehow. My ability to progress in this game is over. My garage is empty, all my perks have been erased, and there are no available races anywhere. My only option is to start all over again. My stats are all correct, but the content itself has vanished.

Ouch, that sucks. Did you do any searching to see if this happened to others? Or was it a one time thing you just happened to be stuck with? Does MS do any automatic cloud storage backup like Sony does with PS+?

Yeah now I'm afraid to open the game again. Was there a recent title update that may have caused it? Or is it somehow tied to the recent XBL issues?

There has been no official response, despite a number of complaints over a pretty lengthy period of time.

What I'm saying is they almost certainly have backups. The question is will they be able to restore your save to a previous backups. I've seen other companies do this in the past, but I don't know if Microsoft will. Worth a shot.

I ordered the Day One edition from Best Buy but my case doesn't mention Day One anywhere on it. Do I need to return it or is that the normal edition anyway?
