It sounds like my kind of thing based on what I've read.

Actually what I reaaaally want to play is Divinity: Original Sin 2, but there's no chance that's running on my laptop.

It looks awesome but yeah, it’s still too early for me to consider a Switch. I do like how it’s getting lots of indie support. It’d be a great thing to eventually have.

Hahaha. In the new Call of Duty loot boxes are supply drops when you arrive at Normandy.

Activision always finds a way to sink to a new low. They cannot let EA and Ubisoft be the most evil.

Xbox one X, somehow I feel that the only real games that will benefit are Microsoft titles. Im assuming Forza and Gears will play a little better, but with the multi platform games, cant see them release any patches to utilise the better hardware.

Im actually mostly tempted to get it for its 4k Blu Ray playback but then again,I havent bought a Blu Ray disc in probably 10 years now.

I only upgraded my PS4 because the machine was faulty and although it would be nice to have a newer Xbox, I cant justify buying one right now. If I had lots of money, of course I would buy it because I can.

It actually has been tested to improve loading times, some games by quite a bit. I don't have a 4k TV so have no interest in it.

Gears you can actually choose 4k or run the game at 60fps.

Might need that regardless of performance. I found it really dull.
I'm 74 hours deep!!!!

Honestly I don't know why you bothered when you don't even like heavy story games.

Anyway, the story is fine, and the sidequests are good, but the selling point for me is the knife-edge battles where you've really got to use tactics to win.

So my new mild obsession with racing continues, DiRT Rally really has lit a fire under my ass. Decided I want to do some circuit racing to compliment the rally driving I've been enjoying so much.

I first tried picking up Assetto Corsa on Steam sale, and it didn't go so great and I refunded it. I think I dove in the deep end a bit too much with that one. Not only is it a very sterile, non-gamey hardcore simulator but it's basically unplayable with a controller; I spent my entire 2 hours with it trying to tweak the controls and I just couldn't find anything satisfactory. That one is wheel or GTFO. I was also a bit disappointed with how much stuff (or at least stuff I really wanted to try right away) was locked behind DLC paywalls. I wanted to drive a 911 on the Nurburg, but they're both DLC :X

So after that I decided I'd try Need For Speed Shift 2, and I'm loving it. I think it's basically a perfect jumping on point for circuit racing for me. It's not an arcade racer but it's not a hardcore sim either. Inside Sim Racing on youtube described it as a good gateway game and it's serving that role perfectly right now. Heaps of cars and tracks without any DLC (including the particular combo I wanted to try in AC).

I really want to get a wheel now, controller gets the job done well enough to play, but leaves me wanting more control and feedback, especially on tarmac circuits. I think I'm going to try and get my hands on a used Logitech G27, which can be had for under $200. That seems like the best value.

Forza Horizon 3 is by far the best racing game this gen. Since it is play anywhere, you can play it on both the XB1 and Windows 10 with 1 purchase.

Horizon honestly looks too arcadey for me, I'm not that interested in the open world element I just want good tracks and good cars to put together with fairly convincing and rewarding driving physics. I suspect I'd prefer Forza 7 over Horizon. I went to try the demo on windows store but the piece of shit wouldn't download properly so I gave up. I've just tried the Project Cars 2 demo and I'm quite impressed. It feels like Shift 2 but a step up in basically every department (makes since as its made by the same people). It's also WAY more accessible and less sterile than Assetto Corsa. It's probably where I'll go next along with WRC 7 for more rally.

I found a like new Logitech Driving Force GT wheel on gumtree for $50, going to pick it up tonight.

edit - Never mind, the cunt sold it out from under me even though we'd exchange details and arranged a time and everything. Said he wasn't even available til 4:30 then he tells me before that time that it's been sold to someone else? Dealing with people on gumtree is such a bitch.

I am an actual rival driver that can randomly appear in Project Cars 2 (my real name is anyway, lol).
