I am pretty willing to give the development team whose country is currently being invaded and at least one of whose former members had been killed during the invasion for taking a while to make a game. Even if they are not actually there at the moment they probably are not exactly thriving.

Of course it is and it's still funny. Mostly so you can remember that someone seriously went up on stage and said "Xbox is going to be the new water cooler".

Dang, did not know that P3R was launching on Gamepass or that Brotato was coming to Xbox. Sadly looks like IW will not be on GP day one but I shan't wait.

Yeah there's no plans to bring Infinite Wealth to Game Pass. Not anytime soon anyways. I went ahead and just bought it on Steam because I know its a game I will want to play on release.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
A friend of mine worked in Microsoft marketing at the time, and that “tv tv tv sports sports call of dooty call of dooty tv .. anyone?? tv sports Xbox go home” video was constantly getting played in the office for weeks while everyone howled with laughter

Makes me laugh that Don Mattrick left Xbox in disgrace and immediately failed upwards to become ceo of Zynga, presiding over their decline before being forced out :laugh:

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but since Xbox One games don’t allow it. It’s an Xbox thing.

You can play custom music in any game on your own cue, but not assign it to play automatically when the “superstars” come down. I’m not going to pause the game and pick a song every time a CAW comes out for instance.

When I play something like Forza Horizon I often use my own tunes, but need to manually choose to do so every time.

I imagine the guys on YouTube are putting music in post-production for CAWs.

If I’m mistaken it would make my day…

The latest Forza game includes a “get pole position in multiplayer” achievement, and a cheevo for gaining 12 places in a single multiplayer race as well!

The Xbox firmware update to fix this has been released, do a manual update from Settings -> Updates and it should pick it up.

those achievements are hella easy. probably even more so now since a large portion of people who really love forza have dropped the game already cuz it's bad.

neither are honestly that difficult to do: there's an 'Introduction' series which is used to give you an initial safety and skill rating and you can just drop in there and beat a load of newbies :vapes:

or you can grab a miata or cosmo for d class and a tune off the leaderboard and get a pole there. likewise for gaining 12 spots. in fact for a few days i streamed a personal challenge to see how many races i could win without qualifying (i.e. starting dead last), and i came from 24th to the lead three different times.

the general playerbase for fm23 is not good at the game. even before the best players walked away from the game, most people i ran into online were just slow, and it's kinda been that way for every forza game after motorsport 4.
