    Space is a constraint for a lot of people. I'd love to have setup at home but in a small apartment for now.

    It's a shame you can't visit Summer Bay in FH3. Would have been nice to visit to see how Alf Stewart is doing.

    Ordered this from Amazon UK just now. About 20 quid physical. Might as well get it while it's around and before Brexit closes the Amazon prime gates. Time to escape to Australia :)

    Another interesting thing about the Forza Horizon games, on the first two, you drive on the right and on the latter two, you drive on the left.

    This isn’t accurate: in every Forza Horizon game you actually just drive through every hedge and fence you see to rack up those sweet, sweet combo points :p

    Forza 7 really helped my driving in GTA5. Same accelerate , decelerate and steering. :)

    I better see if I can pick up Forza Horizon 3 as it actually is delisted. (I just checked now) I would probably be best to pick up a physical copy some where. It's not even that old of a game so I do not know why they would delist it.

    You'll want to get an X for 4K 60 FPS. Anyway, isn't there some GT game coming out on PS5 soon ?

    No interest in full next gen xbox, my ps5 covers that but i would pick up a series s when it drops in price to catch up on xbox exclusives i missed over the years. No interest in any more GT's. They look great but so boring to play.

    Ok. I always was fascinated by racing games, but haven't played any in years. Forza Motorsport 7 is glorious and I've just started into it. Think I've got there at a perfect time with short loading times and super smooth gorgeous graphics, sound and gameplay. No bull**** on the X either. Just switch on and play.

    Yupp that was actually really good. Another game with a rough start but got a lot of support to make it great.

    They’re fairly similar games, so you can’t go wrong with either. Personally I find the Australia setting a little more interesting than the UK one of FH4, but the seasons do a good job mixing up the visuals of the latter.

    Honestly you can’t go wrong with either. Certainly wouldn’t hurt to pick up a disc version of 3 as the games seem to be all but disappeared digitally just a few years after release.

    I'd actually buy Forza Horizon 4 digitally if you can. Once it's delisted it will be off games pass as well. If you get it digital you'll own the XBox and windows version.

    Gamepass accessibility aside, the one advantage of Horizon 4 appears to be you can get the Ultimate edition before it's delisted and know you'll get everything. FH3 was considerably less straight-forward, needing a couple of smaller purchases outside of the UE in order to get the full roster of content/cars.

    Was at a loss as to what to play so looked at the shelf and figured hey what about another Dark Souls 3 playthrough. Put around 200 hours in when it came out but haven't really been back to it.

    Tonight I gave up after 10 minutes my eyes were hurting so badly. I expected it to benefit from the series X in someway but it doesn't, not at all. The framerate is horrific and it's got aliasing all over the place.

    First time out I'd have certainly played on a 1080p monitor as opposed to a 4k one I have now so might not have noticed things as much. Did some digging and it seems this runs very well on a PS5 and hits a solid 60fps. I can only assume this is down to the ps4 pro upgrade it got that the Xbox didn't. Not much chance it gets a patch at this stage :(

    Started playing Forza Horizon 3 on PC. Decided to get it and all the DLC as I've missed out on Horizon 1 and 2 which have been delisted.

    Forza Horizon really is just on another level compared to all other arcade racers out there at the moment. It's an absolute joy to play.

    Take the three wheeled Reliant van out for a spin, just be careful going around the corners :D

    This is one I customised in the game.

    There is a new location in Forza Horizon 4 called _:NIGHTCITY.EXE:_ in Edenborough ;)

    Guess what you get for winning that race??

    Anyone else playing Haven?? The combat is ****e, the areas are all the same pretty much, the gameplay loop is repetitive, the crafting is rudimentary but the writing, dialogue, relationship between the two characters and the story are all great. Some genuine laugh out loud and touching moments anyone who has ever been in a relationship could get and I'm not talking stereotypical stuff here it's great stuff at times and realistic too :D. Best voice acting I've experienced in a while too. As a game this isn't great but everything else has me still playing it and wanting to see it through to the end.
