Is f12015 coming to xbox one? I just finished a full race weekend at silverstone in f12013 and it owned. I mean drat, I must have logged at least a hundred silverstone laps last night. Forza needs to absorb the realism settings for this game. 100% length races, full pit stop simulation, and working safety cars and race flags. :drat:

I made him do exactly what he claims he made me do, with way less effort.

There are no strings on me.




Actually I just recommended a good game and the system it plays best on of the ones the guy said he had because I'm not a loving crazy person.

Microsoft never does free when it comes to Xbox without a lot of kicking and screaming involved. Its so against their DNA. Who even thinks up a prize giveaway where the majority of people get a lovely jpeg? Its not even a goddamn pdf. They cannot help but continually re-celebrate their lack of success but refuse to shell out for something good because deep down they resent having to scuttle their plans and TV studios and pretend they they didn't expect to be knee-deep in extracted rents at this point. They probably thought the NFL would be paying them at this point for space on the dashboard.

If you think Halo is buggy because there are three OS's then you really are mentally ill. And since we already established you really are mentally ill I'm sure that is indeed what you believe.

I don't know enough about your tastes. But keeping in mind I've only got 5 hours with it so far, I would say if you like Dragon Age 1 and want a better and more fully realized version of that with a much bigger world(from what I can tell), then yes.

I loving despise EA and I didn't like Dragon Age Origins, but I am in fact loving DA:I. No day one DLC, no microtransactions in singleplayer, it's not broken as gently caress, none of the egregious EA/Activision/Ubisoft bullshit.

It bears more similarities to Dragon Age 2 than it does 1.

There is no paid dlc to date. OTher then the sountrack and some cosmetics being part of the deluxe really no reason to get that at all unless you want the sound track.

Its probably the most playable dragon age to date with a sensible story so far. I'm like 55 hours and not yet finished thou.

Really? That hasn't been my experience so far. In combat, It feels like if I try to play it pure action like DA2 I get slaughtered. I actually have to be tactical, which is more like DA1. In terms of world, DA2 was super limited and repetitive, this is nothing like that so far. I'd be curious to hear more about why you think this.

Inquisition plays more like Guild Wars 2 or Kingdoms of Amalur. It is not a squad shooter, and the dialog wheel is not as comically obvious as in ME or DA2.

Pretty much all of the talent trees, combat systems, class designs and central design concepts with regards to combat and quest design are based on Dragon Age 2 rather than Dragon Age 1.

It's a far better game than Dragon Age 2, but it's clearly iterative of that, with some stuff from Dragon Age 1 and not the other way around.

They labeled the columns wrong, that's the game's framerate.

I may buy Killer Instinct and Forza 5, they're basically the only games I'm missing :retrogames:

despite the complaints about reused assets and whatnot, the car pass adds a whole lot of vehicles to the game (like 90 cars or something). I wouldn't want to play forza 5 without it, but given your track record of not really playing any of these games you are buying univbee, I guess it probably isn't worth it in your case. It is nice though because it gives you cars in nearly every league so you can skip a lot of the grind and go straight to race cars if you are so inclined. You can do that anyway by renting cars in free mode but you don't earn credits or xp.
