Ooh, I've seen that. Probably gonna buy it soon.
I've been thoroughly impressed. Liked FH3 alright but it was buggy and felt just a little haphazard. Played a lot of FM7 which was a big improvement but FM4 is definitely the most complete feeling.
Handling takes some getting used to from FM7, but once you get it, it's a lot of fun.

This will be my first Forza game. I used to play NFS a lot, but they went downhill big time. Need For Speed: Most Wanted is my favorite, right next to Underground.
NFS MW is still my favorite racing game ever.
You're in for a treat if you haven't played any of the Forzas before. The Horizon games are open world with arcadeyish driving (although nothing like NFS). As of FM4 the open world is now a populated online lobby which is pretty slick. Motorsport is more of a straight sim on tracks. I loved FM4, even bought an Xbox 360 for it, and FM7 is really good too. FH3 was decent but FH4 might become my favorite Forza title after playing it some more.
He gone done did it. Glad you like it I'll have to fire it up this evening.
Your drivatar has been kicking my ass in races lately. Although I blame being used to FM7.

All I can remember about FH3 was trying to play it with you and either not being able to hear each other, see each other, or getting disconnected.
Tomorrow will probably be the day I fire it up, maybe tonight if I get time before/after my movie. FH4 looks substantially more polished than FH3 by far.
I miss the Burnout series man. Burnout 3: Takedown, Burnout 4: Revenge. That was my shit. Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Need For Speed: Underground. That was an awesome generation for arcade-y racers. I actually can't usually stand playing the more simulation based track racers like Forza Motorsport, Gran Tourismo, etc... feels too restricted and serious for me lol
And since I'm in the "What are you currently playing thread", I binged the hell out of the Walking Dead Tell Tale games and did 1, 2 and Michonne, and then nearly finished Wolf Among Us. Also been getting back into Rainbow 6, a bit of Overwatch in the mix especially with the best seasonal event next week, and as always, Rock Band.

I used to play Burnout: Paradise.... lol, you could prolong a crash for like thirty minutes and just keep bouncing around.

As a Burnout vet, Paradise is a shell of the former games and has trouble keeping the charm and uniqueness. Paradise felt like it tried too hard to be a NFS game.

Sorry to offend you, almighty Burnout master.
I'll have to try the older games then.
I haven't been around too long so that's probably why I missed them.

The old ones are at that age where the graphics are hard to get past, but otherwise, the sound and soundtracks are great and the controls should be pretty snappy even though they're old. I do believe 4 is backwards compatible on the Xbone.Sorry to offend you, almighty Burnout master.

Yeah I was thinking about that. FH3 was a hot mess both in performance and stability and getting the online component to cooperate. It looks pretty easy in FH4 but I don't have any friends with it yet.
I miss playing RB. Can't bring myself to spend money on a new drum set though, my aftermarket metal pedal snapped in half and the stand is broken. Might as well buy an electronic set.

Just bought a kit settings pack for my Roland today actually so I'm stoked to try that out once I get it loaded onto it.Yeah I was thinking about that.

I still drive over to my parents place and play my acoustic set occasionally but I miss being able to do it whenever I wanted when I lived there.

I was wondering about that when you moved out. Sucks to have it so far away but an acoustic kit, even if it could fit, would be far too loud in the majority of 20-something early adult living quarters. Despite that, I want a monitor speaker for my Roland so I am not required to use headphones to hear it. I tried using my Peavey amp but boy does that sound like hot garbage, the lows come through at what can only be described as the consistency of swamp tar being forcefully pressed through a fine grated fishing net.
Specific. I like it.
Yeah they're only a 10 min drive from my apartment and 5 from work. I get to play about once a week still.
No way the old ladies that live next to me or above me would tolerate that. I'm hesitant to even get an electric set, but I'd probably be fine since I live on the corner of the building on the bottom floor.

You're always welcome to jam out on my kit.
782 miles away, 16.5mpg average, 2.75 for gas.
$260 in gas round trip? Sounds worth.

It'd only be $123 for me to do a round trip. Which means effectively, I can pick you up, bring you here, and drive you back myself and would likely spend the same in gas, if not less, than you making one trip.
