Forza Horizon

[Hixle]

A full expansion (that's clearly already finished) a few weeks after release, that stinks, in my opinion. I want to vote with my wallet, but knowing me I will cave.

My thoughts exactly.

T10 are terrible for this.

 

[Cookie]

You know how bad they are, you moan, you buy it anyway

You love T10. Lol.

This is where I get my MS points, can't find anywhere cheaper.

This being CS?

Also theres a site called http://www.cheapxboxlivecodes.com/ and I was researching online and everyone raves about it so it seems legit, I'm going to buy 400 from them when i get paid for £4 or whatever it is and if its legit ill buy 4200 from there it's £30 i think.

I used to use this site all the time then he put his prices up so stopped.
He does deliver, pretty fast to.

They're fine. Used them before.

I might trade in Borderlands 2 and get the Season Pass.

 

[Plummer]

It plays nothing like NFS. At all.

Quick tip for anyone playing the demo who plays with all the assists off. If you're on the 'Easy' menu, and go about turning everything off so it switches to 'custom', it'll still retain one characteristic of 'easy' which can't be altered; stability control. To 'turn it off' (as you physically can't for some reason), swictch to 'Expert' straight away, and then go about changing your preferences. Seems to make a fairly big difference.

I did all this, still plays like NFS to me.
New NFS will be more for me I reckon.

You can't do that. Borderlands 2 is to good.

And nice one about that site, guess I'll be using that when I get paid.

 

[Darren S]

Tried the demo last night of this and thought it was so-so. Love the concept of long sprawling road-based maps, but the cars felt like they were wafting along on a cushion of air.

Probably will pickup when it gets cheaper, but certainly not worth full whack price imo.

D.

Upgrades seem to be a direct port of FM4. Nothing wrong with that, but would've been nice to see some new wheels at least. Also, what's the point of having the 'Forza' spoilers/front lip if they're non-adjustable? The whole thing screams lazyness tbh.

They'll probably release a wheel pack at some point though. For 2000 MSP. Of course, this will be seperate to the season pass, not to mention could've been released at launch.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, 4000MSP per wheel.

16,000MSP per car then.

It'll be cheaper to buy and modify a real car soon.

 

[Hixle]

Lol. Chrudat.

I'll be fucked off if the car packs include copies of cars from FM4.

 

[ukaskew]

Lol. Chrudat.

I'll be f**ked off if the car packs include copies of cars from FM4.

100% guaranteed, for example I really can't see them not throwing in the McLaren F1, at some point.

Its just down to sheer greed now.

The way games are going you'll be paying pennies for games, then buying all the content to play it.

I'm sure Fifa is like that at the moment, you buy it 2nd hand but to play online you have to enter a code which the original owner will have used.

EA sell the codes for circa £15. Rip off!

Same with Battlefield. I'm going to try and ignore this game for a while. Still got loads of mileage in 4.

 

[Jcs]

Overall this seems like an expansion pack for forza 4 but making a little worse. I'll wait untill it comes down in price.

I was nearly tempted to buy it, then I saw the dlc announcement before the release. Too much money grabbing

 

[AK]

Preordered it today .

 

[KFRRS94]

Preordered it today .

LCE?

 

[AK]

Nah, standard version.

I don't even play Forza 4 anymore, been FIFA since it's came out, so I'll make do with the standard version. I'll make my final decision in the shop though on release day, lol.

 

[KFRRS94]

lol, fair enough.

I barely touch 4 anymore myself, started a bit more now that I'm looking forward to Horizon.

 

[Adamm.]

I still session 4 quite a bit. Just been playing pure tag lately so much fun.

 

[KFRRS94]

I always quite fancy playing the football on 4 but I've never actually been able to because it can never find a match lol.

 

[dajones]

I'm going to buy this on payday, if they have the lce I'll get it. If now bog standard for me. Not fussed after all the money wasted on 4

 

[Chris n nic]

I pre ordered the LCE today...have 16 quid on my game card so I'll use that for it

Footballs pretty crap tbh as everyone just ends up against the walls and it gets boring quick.

Playing tag on le mans etc with 16 player lobbies is epic fun.

High roller.

You going to get the season pass too?

 

[ukaskew]

Sold my soul and ordered the LCE and Season Pass (which Game appeared to have honoured at £16), I feel dirty.

Loads of bonus cars lined up by the sounds of things, a bunch of them for reaching level 50 in Forza 3 or 4, an extra free car per month for Season pass bods, a car for playing in the first week of release, another for playing the demo.

 

[Joe#]

Game have cancelled my order for some reason :S

 

[Adamm.]

Mines ordered from game and the only email I have has was saying they may take the money a bit earlier than usual.

 

[Joe#]

Strange, I'll just order it again.

 

[-Jason-]

Mine was cancelled from game too.

 

[ukaskew]

Weird, I just got an email confirmation (despite ordering a few days ago), I think they've done this before with Limited Editions.

 

[dajones]

They did this with the last one. Over sold iirc

 

[DannyR]

I've had confirmation too today, guess they'll charge card today/tomorrow

 

[AK]

Just played the demo again. Turned all the music off and the cars sound crap, lol.

 

[ben81]

I'm buying Halo 4 now instead.
Much less rapey on the dlc front.
I might trade it in for Horizon if it turns out ok after all :race:

And all the companies are up in arms and stumped why people are downloading for free and not paying for these games anymore. Sheer greed.

Tbh, I was all excited about this game. Downloaded the demo and ye first time I thought meh.. It could just be me. Have it a 2nd go the next day an nope, just not appealing.

I think if you compare this to FM4.. You might be disappointed. FM4 quite frankly, pisses all over it nvm.... Skyrim is gettin my next pay packet. Already got it for the pc, just need for the Xbox!

Anyone selling a nearly new copy of skyrim, for the Xbox, in the northeast? ha.

 

[KFRRS94]

How many MS points did you get for your £16?

 

[Turkish]

I'm struggling to give a f**k about this game at the moment, between the demo with questionable physics and the continuing profiteering around DLC for the franchise I think I'll 100% Forza 4 over the coming months and possibly pick up horizon when it's in the bargain bin in about 3 months time.
