Current Events > Forza Horizon 3 is really damn good

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd say it's one of the best exclusives of the generation and I'm not even a big racing guy. It's just an addicting yet relaxing game to play. I really like the soundtrack.

Also as an Australian it's so damn neat seeing a game set here. They've nailed a lot of the ambience and scenery.

I swear I redeemed a code for a Warthog years ago and yet I don't see it in my garage. Not sure what's going on there.

It's my most played game this gen, by far. Just so much to keep me coming back, and even as someone who just plays single-player

Future Classic is the best radio station in there

Doesn't look familiar. I think I have Lightbulb. I'm Angered Catfish on Xbox Live. I'll add ya.

Ive never played a forza game. I loved Grand Turismo because you could almost really feel the tires on the pavement. It felt real in a weird way that most games cant really emulate.

This one is a bit more arcadey but I think it does a good job with how you drive on different terrains. Driving through a river, getting that big splash sound and water spraying all over the screen is such a cool moment. The sound design is great.

Forza Motorsport is the sim part of the series so I think that's more comparable to GT.

I'd add that the rumble being under the triggers on the Xbox One controller is really nice; it gives great feedback for racing games.

Nice, you can get this on the PC?

Might actually get it, it looks pretty good.

Never dealt with microsoft pc store or anything before though

Oh yeah the rumble is great. It feels so meaty for some cars. I'd say the best use of it I've experienced on the Xbox One controller.

You can, but the PC version can be kinda janky, performance wise

Yeah you can. I've been playing it on both Xbox One and PC. Seems to work pretty well so far.

I've heard some people have performance issues in Surfers Paradise on PC but I think this was back when it launched. I haven't reached there myself.

Actually I just remembered that it was 30fps in the Outback. It was stable though. Not sure if a setting changed on me but it was a solid 60fps when playing in Byron Bay. I couldn't be bothered messing around with the settings then so I just left it.

Horizon 4 looks way better.

You can buy properties and do jobs right? Sounds cool.

Also you can create race routes and not just bucket list events.
