Re: Forza Horizon 3 incoming...
No console game I see on the shelves ever passes $89, unless you go to EB. MS are just price gouging. I'll pay it for Gears but will not use the Store for anything else

The bigger crime is locking the FPV GT behind the VIP membership. That's cold. I caved.

They've done that on purpose purely for the Aus/NZ market I bet!

When he said FPV GT I was thinking of the GT steering wheel being locked.

Re: Forza Horizon 3 incoming...
A bit annoyed with all this, Horizon has its fair share of price gouging and the least they could do was make sure the PC port wasn't friggen borked. If I was going to be relegated to playing xbone I would have bought a physical copy for much less than I paid.
They just lost a sale with Gears 4 here, I will wait now because I've been burned 3 times with these shitty PC ports(Quantum break/Gears ultimate/FH3), and still after numerous patches on QB/Gears they still run into many performance issues.
Maybe microsofts secret plan is to frustrate PC gamers into buying a xbone.

EA are being dicks too. No retail release of FIFA 17 on PC, Origin version more expensive than the console version at JB.
Currently playing: Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition (PC), Far Cry 4 (PC), FIFA 23 (Series X)

Re: Forza Horizon 3 incoming...
Although for FIFA it looks like you can get an Origin key for ~60 through PlayAsia. Anyone done that before?
EDIT: It worked. I saved $30 over Origin and $20 over console prices at JB. Master Race wins again
PS: I won't buy anything on the Windows Store until their prices are competitive.

Always, in every racing game, the furthermost back and up behind the car. Obviously not as immersive or impression of speed, but you can just see far more ahead and prepare/react better.Madmya wrote:What view does everyone use? I usually use the cockpit view, but it cuts out too much of the beautiful world. Second choice is bonnet view but it's difficult for the off road sections. I'm just finding myself never happy with the camera.

I haven't played this game but I'd go with 3rd person view for this one. I usually only play in-car view in racers.

Re: Forza Horizon 3 incoming...
Yeah I think I'm with you and Elf on this one. I love the in-car view usually, you feel the bumps and the sense of speed and racing is great... you just can't see shit when there's so much terrain around. Particularly the off-road races where you just have no idea where the checkpoints are.
Great game too, but I still think Forza Motorsport is king.

1440p all settings ultra except MSAA, 50-60fps Gsync without doing anything else.
Game seems fucking awesome, reminds me a LOT of the original Need for Speed.

Re: Forza Horizon 3 incoming...
Strine and Irish accents abound. It's killing me.
Re: Forza Horizon 3 incoming...
Really want to buy but can't do it. $96 for the standard version is simply too high. The last time I paid that much for a game was Street Fighter 2 Turbo on the SNES ($120AUD). Never again, $89 is my upper limit for new games. Will wait for the price to come down or for it to come to Steam.

It's $79 at JB. Or you can muck around with Amazon and the international versions of the Microsoft store to get the digital version for about that price.

Dare I say it - game is worth $96. Pure joy.

Candy, will we see you at Monday Night Racing? Last night we had 2 PC players and 5 on the Xbox, all in party chat and playing together. Good guy Microsoft.
