[QUOTE=Del91;51089960]Are those Canadian prices?[/QUOTE]

Yep :(

[Psygo]

tomorrow is gonna be such a long day at work. I've been looking forward to horizon 3 since before it was even announced for PC past the whole apex deal.

[mastermaul]

I feel like such an absolute idiot, I just prepurchased the standard edition of the game having assumed for months now that it was coming out tomorrow. I have no idea how the early release thing passed over my head.

[Nikpo]

How is the early release working? Is it deluxe only or something?

[RobyYe]

Fucking yes, Epitaph radio has A Day To Remember and The Offspring. I'm fucking hyped.

Nice job assuming I'm using nVidia game.

And now it keeps crashing on the optimizing stage. :pudge:

Well found out what the issue was, AMD shipped a hotfix driver but never told crimson to show it, all fixed now. Only issues I've got now is wacky as fuck fps (dropping to low 40s when it should be 60 solid) and the game crashing on menus.

[Spectre1406]

wow you people and your forza horizon

i'm stuck with maximum tune here

Oh fuuckk that. That pack is like $120 in Canada or something.

So I just preorder the Xbox one version off the store to get it on PC right?

[Del91]

I fucked up. I thought fh3 downloaded, but apparently not.

Pretty much.

as long as its digital you get both I do believe (so you could get it on amazon and register the key on the store) I might be wrong about that last bit though

[QUOTE=Del91;51092396]I fucked up. I thought fh3 downloaded, but apparently not.[/QUOTE]

Yeah what the fuck. I checked my Xbox's storage and it mentioned Horizon 3 taking up 47GB of space, but I just went to launch it then and now it has to download a 47GB 'update'.

So much for the 'early access' for ultimate edition owners, because by the time it's done downloading on Australian Internet, the game is going to be released for everyone else anyways.

[editline]23rd September 2016[/editline]

Seriously, why didn't it preload? I tried to get it to before release, but I couldn't find a preload button anywhere and so just assumed it did it in the background.

[Del91]

I could have sworn it downloaded when I pre ordered it last week, but here I am downloading it again.

[sb27]

Well in the meantime they just released a major update for Real Racing 3. It finally has the Australian V8 Supercars (technically it's just Supercars now though). I wonder if a free-to-play mobile game can do a better job at re-creating an authentic V8 Supercar engine sound than Forza 6 can, lmao.

[Del91]

I just got FM6 and I was a little disappointed at some of the engine sounds lol

[EddieLTU]

[QUOTE=Del91;51092488]I just got FM6 and I was a little disappointed at some of the engine sounds lol[/QUOTE]

Its still better than GT6 vaccum samples

[Spectre1406]

new nfs no limits update brought silvia and evo vi into the game and blackridge spirit 3, but you need both cars to participate

this is a new low, but i need those laferrari blueprints

:ok:

[sb27]

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with the AI in Forza 6? I was doing the Indianapolis 250 against unbeatable AI, and got up to lap 55 of 100 when the AI went full-retard: I was on the main straight and slipstreaming a competitor I was about to overlap, when suddenly they just fucking brake [i]for no reason[/i]. Car got heavily damaged, and as it was against unbeatable AI with no crew mods, I pretty much had no chance of winning as soon as 2nd place overtook me (I had no choice but to make an early pit-stop).

And it's not just that too. Also with Indy cars (against 'pro' AI though), I did a race at Rio. On the very last lap (I was in 1st) a slower competitor infront on their second last lap decided to be a fucking idiot (I actually watched the replay of this) and not steer+brake hard enough, so they slammed straight into a tyre barrier on the outside of a corner. They were then facing the wrong direction, and decided to do the widest-possible U-turn at 10km/h, on a bit of track where cars go flying past the blind turn at >200km/h. And so fucking of course, I just had to come along and fucking t-bone them. Is the AI trying to sabotage your races something that is deliberate?

drivatars learn from players

aaaaaaaaa I really want the warthog but I don't have a xbone and a copy of h5 guardians :frown:

[Miya]

they put halo 5 music in the classical station

perfect for driving a warthog

edit:

it randomly unlocks the groove music station when you get around to expanding your festival and begs you to get a 14 day trial with no credit card or obligation needed, lol.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/SJFxvkG.png[/t]

one of the main reasons i play horizon is to get new music tastes not listen to my terrible taste

edit 2:

if you say no it just leaves the station on your list and playback errors when you get to it while your flipping stations :ok: :ok: :ok:

[QUOTE=nomad1;51092918]aaaaaaaaa I really want the warthog but I don't have a xbone and a copy of h5 guardians :frown:[/QUOTE]

Theres gonna be a event during october 14 where you can get the warthog apparently.

[Com Truise]

So none of you guys have the error preventing people playing the game? It crashes on startup right after the intro video. Needless to say I feel ripped off.

Well guess I can skip a day of school...

I mean i'd be ok if at a later date if I played h5 guardians and then it unlocked but I really don't know how it works and i'm not sure where I can go to ask.
