Purchased!!

Ordered 2. We have a GameFly copy now that's in near constant use between our 2 Xboxes. Picked up a new subscription to XBL last night so I actually start playing.

Okay, so when do y'all get online? Played single player for a while last night, got completely sucked in.

I'm online all the time. wannabeotaku42 is my screen name. Feel free to add me.

I started at 9pmish and stopped around 4:30am

Just tearing round and nothing else!

Yeah, that's been me over the past 2 nights. No sleep makes me grumpy.

I got the game from the family pre ordered. Just finished the basic mode last night. Fun, yeah. I hate that I cannot adjust the suspension or tweak the tune up, but it is what it is, filler until F% or I get a new PS and GT5...which is equivalent with the old wish in one hand line.

I put in a request for TGRM but have yet to be acknowledged by a receipt and grant. Anyone? Switchblade762 g tag

A 360 might be my next purchase, along with Horizon. I hate driving on a controller, and a full wheel set up is out of the question, any advice on the wireless wheel?

In reply to neon4891:

Its not good enough for a simulator, but as Horizon should be treated as a "Drive everywhere as a douchebag" type of game, it should be decent.

I used one of those on FM4 and it definitely wasn't good, but it was "decent". I have not tried one of those on Horizon yet.

In reply to neon4891:

Tried the wireless wheel with FM4, decided I'd stick to the controller. However, if you'd like to try it, I have it in pretty much new condition that you could have cheap. PM me if interested.

Ok, it works, but not great. How would it compare to a Wii mote in a wheel, mario cart style?

I would say it's about the same, except the Xbox wireless speed wheel is heavier. I could see fatigue happening with the xbox wheel way before the Wii one.

The Xbox wheel, like every great Microsoft product, has special driver software to make it work. It ships with the wheel on CD, but even if you install it Microsoft will force an update via Xbox Live.

wow, so not impressed with Horizon, but am locked into Season Pass with the game and all the stuff that goes with it. The bad thing is, though, that now whenever I am on, it seems no one is on either F4 OR Horizon. I think maybe it's time for a new race season on either system. Maybe some dirt based fun with 4x4 cars, say Subie vs Mistu vs Audi or something, or maybe some gym khana with itty bitty small bores. Then again, FGC and I had a blast with the ST's I built and all of them are now tuned for better equality, at least where FGC and I are concerned

the Vandura is much more suitable for a game like Horizon than FM4.

Got this over the weekend & have been hooked. Now I just need to learn how to do paint schemes.

Combine layers, use opacity, and remember y stamps. Its a lot easier than copying and pasting.

In reply to N Sperlo:

I might break something. I'm one of those gamers that may pick up a game once every 2 years.

Who's still playing? I just picked this up yesterday. I really like it. I have to put my special touch on the paintjobs.

Has anyone played multiplayer yet? I only know one person with this game and they are never online.

I'll likely be on in a bit, if anyone else is up for some Forza.

I'm headed out for dinner. I may jump in later.

I would have to wait until after 10 pm CST when the wife goes to bed.

She hates video games

I'm still playing, although I have yet to venture online with this game. I could totally see multiplayer being a ton more fun with y'all than with random people, although it would appear I've missed the boat on that.
