Goddamn I'm glad I pre-ordered the LCE in-person from Best Buy like a month ago.

LunaticAngel posted:Looking at the free 2012 BMW M5 on the marketplace, it's 370ish megs. I hope that isn't a sign of how big the rest of the packs are going to be if that's just the one car! I don't think my connection could handle that once a month (although it'd be very worth it). Either that, or it contains the content for the American muscle car pack aswell, since I couldn't see a sample pack for that.

BestBuy still hasn't sent me my BMW 1M code... they'd better have my reserved LCE when I go to pick it up tonight!

Welp this is awesome. With the new tire physics and everything I'm doing it with no assists or driving line, though I'm leaving rewinding on. Also simulation steering, which is interesting with the MS wheel, but I'm actually doing fairly well so far. It really is making me improve my driving skills.

Holy balls the Tesla is hard to drive. I think it's that: a) it only has one gear (doesn't the real thing have 2 gears?) b) I never realized how much I rely on engine & gear sounds for driving. It's very hard to tell how fast I'm going on the Top Gear test track! Oh also I put in a request to join LLJK, my gamertag is EnderNerdcore

MalleusDei posted:I saw a few guys that didn't get their BestBuy pre-order code with their game pickup posting in here. I didn't get mine either, and I was all set to get all pissed off, but it just showed up in my email. I bought it around 6:30pm Pacific last night, so hopefully it shows up before the 24-hour mark, otherwise I guess I'll just call/email Best Buy. I want my 1M! EDIT: And of course 2 minutes after I write this it appears in my email. Yay! Kenshin fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Oct 12, 2011 |

Minimaul posted:Same. I wish they had the sedan though! I was going to buy one yesterday but got the e28 M5 instead as an impulse buy. Drop the e36 m3 in some Rival races though. But they are pretty similar cars--the one in Forza has slightly more horsepower, and the 6-speed transmission is a bit easier to handle than 5-speed.

The thing I've noticed since I started playing Forza 4 with no braking line or anything is that I actually crash less. It's crazy, but when I think about it, in Forza 1-3 I always had the breaking line on, and my method of learning cars + tracks was "go really fast and learn how much I have to slow down not to crash." My learning method now is "drive cautiously and learn how fast I can start going." Seems to work much better.

Odette posted:How do you 'tune' cars? I literally have no idea. I pretty much have to just find cars that are drivable stock with minor upgrades because I don't know what I need to do to tune them. Upgrading even the 2012 M5 to A600 (from the stock A5XX) made it nearly undrivable for me--it wouldn't turn worth a drat without peeling out, and I hardly upped the horsepower, most of those points were in new tires and other handling upgrades!

So I (EnderNerdcore) have annoyed a few of you with mic echo the past few evenings. Turns out, if I try to mute my mic, it just mutes me and then echoes everyone. As long as I don't mute it, it doesn't echo. Bizarre.

In the past few days I've started playing a bunch of Forza 4 again, and it made me wonder: do we know much yet about Forza Horizon? Are dedicated Forza 4 fans planning to pick it up?

xzzy posted:One of the Sidewinder variants, a truly terrible creation that we had to deal with in FM2 and FM3. Their sole useful purpose was for trying to test every aspect of a car in a single track. Unfortunately most of their purpose was to kick you in the nuts while trying to play the campaigns.

silverbullitt850 posted:So, I'm catching quite a bit of static on the Mechwarrior Online thread because I apparently didn't post some intro in "general BS" forum. Is this a requirement I just didn't know about? I didn't see it anywhere in the rules. And to make this at least slightly relevant to Forza, I won't be around next week, so no racing for me... Sorry.

I can't believe nobody's posted about this: http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/thrustmaster-ferrari-gt-cockpit-458-italia-racing-wheel-f1-gamepad/ Ignore the silly gamepad.
