Finished with Forza Horizon 4

I'm down to four achievements I can't make any headway on, so I'm quitting until December's DLC drops.

One of the four left is for getting 100 stars in the story missions. I've got 13 left and can't get a another one even though I ran through all the challenges again, pulling my hair out in frustration in the process.

Another is for getting to level 10 in Drift Skills. For this you need to get at least 2 stars on all the Drift Zones. I keep trying them but, for a lot of them, I can't get past one star. I've tried all sorts of cars and can't get the feel of it. Maybe it'll click with me sometime, but not now.

Another is related, getting 3 stars on all the PR stunts. This inclues the Drift Zones, so unless I can figure them out, I'm not going to get it. I've gotten all the Speed Traps, a lot of the Danger Signs (jumps) and maybe half of the Speed Zones. That's about the order of difficulty too with Drift Zones being the hardest.

Finally, there's the achievement for getting all the Bonus Boards. These are collectibles scattered throughout the world. I may have around 80% of them but the rest remain hidden; and I've been all over the map, criss-crossing every off-road area during races and stunt challenges. I can't imagine how the rest of them stay hidden. I could buy the Treasure Map for $3, but that's too darn easy. It takes all the fun out of it. I'll just have to put up with what I've got unless I figure out some secret, like they are usually behind houses, or something like that. So far, there's been no rhyme or reason to them; they've been everywhere.

So, tomorrow I pick up Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 3. After that, I'll get back to Banner Saga Trilogy.

Finding stuff wears on me. I would just consult a guide at that point, myself.

Mark bought the Treasure Map that shows you everything. I'm really tempted to do that, and I cheated by looking at his map a few times and found two more bonus boards, but I don't want to pay to get achievements. I'll pay for new content.

I was going to say check the random races throughout the map, but it sounds like you already did that to squeeze out some extra stars. Yeah the hidden stuff can drive you nuts. With NFS Payback at least the game gives you hints are where to look because that map is massive.

Each week the game changes seasons and there are new races that appear. Which reminds me, Thursday is FH4's change of season. I'll have to jump back in to do them.

I look at the map and filter out everything but the bonus boards. The map is like littered with them. I have so many of them and they cover so much of the map, I can't understand why I haven't revealed all of them by now. What tiny corners are they hidding in?

well, you certainly sucked the blood out of that one!

I broke the hundred hour mark in the game. I don't do that too often.
