I've been playing FM6 again - the Porsche career path is pretty neat.

Really? I didn't know there was a Porsche career path.

I got drunk with some German guys that stayed with us via AirBnB earlier this year and bought the pack. Haven't played with it since then, doe.

Guess I'll play some Forza tonight.

I'm hoping for some deals on graphics cards for black friday, would like an upgrade for better frame rates. Dirt Rally is awesome but only runs 30-50 FPS on low settings with my old ass PC.

Dang, this Porsche career is awesome.

I've got one 930 Turbo race to go I think. Love that car.

I just started with the 914. I LOVED the 550A.

You will come winter. Xbone is great for winter.

I was going to sell mine, but now that it's cooled down outside, I'm finding an hour here or there that's a lot of fun to play on it.

I had a 1st gen Xbox, and after beating Forza I didn't touch it. That was really all that I played on it, I was more into computer gaming.

It's all I play on mine.

I did play GTAV, and that was awesome until I beat it. I dunno, it provides just enough entertainment to justify keeping it.

I cant remember the last time I played. Im sure once the wife deploys in January ill be more active here and on xbone.

Wife isnt deploying anymore. But I think ill be making more time to do "me" things.

Let me know if FH3 is any good. Not totally sold on the horizon games.

ChrisoftheNorth · Mon Nov 28, 2016 10:44 am

I want a wheel. But that requires a seat. And I'm just too :scrooge:

for all that noise.

Within the first 5 minutes I thought I made a mistake.

HOWEVER.

I then played it more, turned off the driving assists (turned off auto braking, auto steering, traction and stability control, and adjusted some other settings), and got into the gameplay. And I'm really loving this game.

The scenery is stunning. The car selection is fantastic (no VW doe, sorry brehs). The gameplay is excellent.

The only hokey thing is that it's based around flatbrim vapeshows and gaining fans, BUT, I'm looking forward to terrorizing the countryside with DFD peeps in multiplayer, and the racing in single player so far is actually really good, and challenging. I've had to do a lot of races more than once because the AI is strong and the courses can be unpredictable. The weather is pretty amazing, too.

From what little gameplaying I did last night, this one destroys Horizon 2. The graphics are cleaner, the driving is simulated better and the courses....dang. Such lushness.

Barnes93cb · Mon Nov 28, 2016 11:18 am

Okay looks like a solid buy so far.
What the hell is auto steering? These games will do an entire race for you?
Ive got the rig setup for my wheel. I do need a better seat eventually. No VW??? Is there Porsche at least?
