Forza Horizon 6 dropped in Japan and we both went deep — Raz put in 27 hours, Jake is still learning. This week we break down everything: who this game is actually for, whether you need to be a car guy to enjoy it, and whether the critics are right about the Metacritic 92. We go hard on the manual vs. automatic debate (Jake is on manual with clutch, Raz is on automatic — and Jake has opinions about that). We talk tuning depth vs. accessibility, the "same loop new map" criticism, and why Japan is a better setting than you might expect. Then it gets personal: Jake refuses to drive Japanese rice burners in-game, breaks down exactly why a stock '69 Mustang beats a $300,000 Civic, and the Honda CRX takes a beating. Raz reveals his dream car is a 2010 Scion TC. It goes how you'd expect. We also cover: the Halo Warthog hidden in your garage, online racing first impressions, fast traveling in a driving game (yes, Raz is doing it), and whether Forza Horizon 6 belongs in the Game of the Year conversation. Jake thinks racing games should never win GOTY. Raz is slowly converting to manual. Neither of them know what camber is. 0:00 Intro – Fly Digi Racing Mode & Episode 588 3:49 Raz's Racing Game Resume (Gran Turismo 4 to 27 Hours of FH6) 5:40 Who Is Forza Horizon 6 Actually For? 19:59 Manual vs Automatic – Jake Makes His Case 23:10 Tuning Depth: Gear Ratios, Camber & Casual Accessibility 32:36 "I'm Not Becoming a Tradesman" – The Tuning Menu Rant 41:20 JDM vs Muscle Cars – Jake's Strong Opinions on Car Aesthetics 42:48 The Honda CRX Situation (And Why It's a Piece of S***) 1:03:57 Online Racing First Impressions 1:05:34 Raz's Dream Car Is a 2010 Scion TC (It's Not in the Game) 1:12:06 The Halo Warthog & Polaris Razor – Xbox Easter Eggs 1:15:57 Metacritic 92: Best Reviewed Game of 2026? 1:18:29 "Same Loop New Map" Criticism – Is It Valid? 1:21:57 AWD vs 4WD – Neither of Us Know Cars 1:33:49 Should Forza Horizon 6 Win Game of the Year? 1:38:31 Raz Is Fast Traveling in a Driving Game (On the Record) 1:41:56 Who Should Play This Game (And Who Shouldn't) 1:45:37 Outro – Patreon Plug & Next Week _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.
