Forza Horizon

I saw something about multi-usb stuff. Must be that, cos TS-XW is on the list.

I dunno, may just be me, but this does not look like a very enjoyable experience, playing with a wheel.

Slaptrain isnā€™t someone who anyone should be checking for advice or reviews

Yeah I know. Not that I was looking for advice or review, just came up as a recommendation. Just thought it looked quite challenging to play with a wheel in this style of game.

Global release times for Early Access were at 00:01 in each of the various regional time zones, for Xbox and PC (presumably including Game Pass). Steam owners had to wait for the global Steam release, which coincided with the US release time (07:00 here).

Iā€™m assuming theyā€™ll be doing the same thing for the full release, so from midnight + 1 minute tomorrow morning.

ā€œThis is a rolling release. All editions will release at midnight (date depending on the edition you purchased) for your countries most Eastern time zone. i.e. USA Eastern time zone of midnight will be 9pm Pacific time.ā€

Did you know that New Zealand is 11 hours ahead of South Africa? When itā€™s 12:01 AM in New Zealand, itā€™s 13:01 PM in South Africa. #JustSaying

Am I the only fool that out right bought the game and played it last week?

Iā€™ve seen a few peoples on my friends list playing it since Friday. Was looking at the Premium Upgrade option last night and I may still dip into that at the end of the month.

Not a fool at all! A financially-able forward-thinker. :grinning:

I doubt thereā€™s a single one of us here who wouldnā€™t have loved to be able to go Premium or Game Pass Premium Add-on and be playing with you since last week. Like Beo, the Premium Edition content is a ā€œvery possibly, yes pleaseā€ for me too, eventually.

Eskom and their loadshedding shenanigans have forced me to change my ā€œLetā€™s move to New Zealand for the afternoonā€ plans. Now I may be able to relocate to Singapore or maybe even India in the afternoon. :neutral_face:

See? Literally hundreds of thousands of youā€¦

ETA: seems like they reached the million player mark over the weekend:

Which is remarkable when you think about it. Yes, Iā€™m sure thereā€™s a good couple of thousand reviewers, content creators, and influencers in that number who got it for free, but the majority of those players either spent R1600 on the premium edition or R800 on the game pass add-on.

Iā€™m contemplating staying up for this as I have entire day of meetings tomorrow which then I wonā€™t have tome for this. :thinking:

My dilemma is that FH5, Football Manager 2022, and Jurassic World Evolution all release tomorrow. I have no idea how Iā€™m going to get through the dayā€¦ :grinning:

Youā€™re telling me! Yowzers!

Too much games, not much time. Actually considered taking a day off to try and get ahead a little.

I first have to finish Greedfall and life is getting in the way. Really hoped I could finish Greedfall over the weekend but only got a couple of hours in.

I too was going to visit Mexico via NZ this afternoon.

Sadly a local transformer went on leave this morning and now noone gets to have a good time.

Also loadshedding tonight.

The load times are definitely the downfall, but thatā€™s specific to older gen. What should be seamless transitions, become disconnected wait times.

That being said, the game still looks beautiful and solid FPS.

The handling, at least steering, feels a little vague as if a delay between input. Not sure if itā€™s a intended design change or input delay or a result of older gen on newer tech.

The game is great! After getting to bed early and waking up at 23:15, I made a cup of tea and decided to get gaming. Seems like @GregRedd has been quite busy in the game, as I kept chasing his ā€œroads drive, ā€œbonus boards smashedā€ and ā€œareas discoveredā€ scores. I failed to beat him in any of those, of courseā€¦

I finished Greedfall last night so will start Forza Horizon tomorrow evening if all goes well. Yay, looking forward to it.
