Watched the trailer for this this morning and will most likely be buying it once it drops, though I'm not really sure I'll have the time to play it much, if at all for awhile

I bought the Porsche pack for Forza. This will probably be the only other expansion I buy. 5/7.

Nothing like hearing that 4.0 flat six wind out through the gears in the '73 RS.

God I love Porsche cars so much. #Fanboy One of my biggest peeves with forza is the fact that Porsche is an expansion.

It's had to be an expansion to most of the games for some time now due to the fact that EA owned the rights to the Porsche name in video games. That has recently expired though, as far as I remember at least, so they should be able to be included in games again soon.

I bought a xbox360 force feedback wheel setup off ebay last night. I'll try out the "racing sim" life and see how i like it. If I find myself liking it alot and using it....

it will be xbone 1 and forza 6 time.

If I REALLY like it, maybe go iRacing?

iRacing is pretty legit too. But none of us plebs play that game.

If you like it, skip the xbox and go straight to PC. You can put together a good setup pretty cheaply.

Got the new DLC last night and ran a race before bed. It's interesting to say the least.

I've had no qualms on spending money on FH3.

Cheaper than car parts and gas. And it sounds amazing.
Very much true. [user not found] speaks the truth.

apparently there is no good, cost effective force feedback wheel for the xbone 1. And of course the 360 shit won't work with it. Cheapest wheel that is worth a shit is like 400 bucks.

So.... if i keep enjoying the setup I have it might be time to go IRacing.

Which means it's time to start looking at a new mobo for my old computer. and probably a PSU. And maybe a processor, though I think mine is fine and was stable overclocked @ like 3.8 ghz.
And a graphics card. (paging @corvettewaxer) Oh and probably lots of ram.
