Cactachair posted:Same here. We should have a NoobGoons club or something because I sure as hell don't need to be taking up one of 100 slots in a club that's got people ranking in the top 10%. I think it'd actually benefit you dudes more to be in a mixed club. Good tunes by guys who know how to tune cars can go a long way to helping you get faster, and having more experienced racers to explain racing techniques and to follow around the track is invaluable. Hanging out with faster racers will inevitably help you get faster, even if you're a true blue newbie who has no idea about anything in racing sims. Just don't expect me to be any of these, because I'm still prone to embarrassingly dumb mistakes and poor racing techniques despite being someone who should know better by now, and I still can't tune anything past D class.

First thing I did was powerslide the poo poo out of the 1M Coupe on the follow-through at the TopGear track. Mostly by accident. But it was so perfect. Also, in World Tour. BMW 2002 Turbo Spec Races! GT: Turb0snail

I would say the best diffence between 3 and 4 is the free parts. for 5 grand i built a 813hp, 2365lb ford mustang king cobra, then drag raced it on the top gear test track. This is what the game should be about.

Oh I totally agree, but there's currently 147 names on the Goongle Docs spreadsheet. We'll see how the clubs and rivals features play out and maybe we'll be able to keep GTCC under 100 members. But yeah, if they're cool with having less experienced members in the car club, count me in. GT: Hypercats I'll be happy to share any of the LCE cars with people who missed out on them thanks to Best Buy.

Pre-ordered at brick and mortar Best Buy, got my Collectors edition, but they didn't have any of the pre-order cards for the M1 at the shop. They said they would call when they found them

Hello Spaceman posted:I didn't do a before/after comparison, but I can tell you this: in FM3 when you load your game at the start, it takes like a minute. Loading your game in FM4 takes 10 seconds tops. You don't speak for the GTCC, sir. You've squatted on a tag that does not belong to you. This is not the official car club of the GTCC. Wouldn't be a launch day without goon drama, would it? http://gtcc.us

Sorry I'm not part of your cool club synmoo. I'm really sorry. It's not about not being allowed in the club man. Just trying to keep ownership in specific hands. We also didn't want to have it be a general good club as you're advertising it to be.

Okay time to bring in the fire extinguishers. Spaceman grabbed GTCC because we knew GTCC would want a club. It isn't like its completely gone. We can promote anyone to leader, co-leader, etc. It isn't just willy-nilly open for joining either, its still invite-only. I talked to SynMoo but if the GTCC leaders want to be leaders in the club it can easily be done. We'll all be happy and suck some dilz from the back later tonight.

Did anyone else here try ordering the LCE from Deepdiscount? I ordered from them about three weeks ago, and despite their site saying that pre orders either ship release day or shortly before, my order still shows as "open", despite the fact they charged my credit card already. The fact they no longer seem to list the LCE anywhere on their site makes me somewhat concerned, so if they don't respond to the email I sent them within the next couple of days, I'm just going to perform a chargeback on the card.

Loaded up the demo one last time (hopefully getting my copy tomorrow), decided to put on some custom music while driving the M5 through traffic and ended up spending over an hour just driving. Same car, same track, not even going for time. Just... driving. I'm a dead man. I'm going to die with my rear end fused to my seat and my hands glued to my wheel. On the screen, my souped up E30 will scratch along the guardrails at Bergwerk - my foot decomposing on the pedal - while a procession of F-class econoboxes pass by indifferently and indefinitely. The lap counter killed by an overrun error, dead like me.

Linux Nazi posted:It looks pretty great, but I've never played FM3 even, as it seemed to be oriented towards people wanting to drive $500,000+ supercars around racetracks rather than souping up a '94 Acura and driving it through a circuit that only allows 90s japanese autos. I really think that, at least for US players, the car selection in Forza 4 does a better job than GT5 of providing a range of cars that are relevant to amateur motorsports fans. Stuff like the E30 and E36 BMWs, Fox-body Mustangs, 2G DSM coupes, etc. to go with the various Hondas. I am disappointed that the new 5.0 Mustang somehow didn't get on that car list, though. I am assuming it's going to be DLC eventually, though. Also, a 90s era Sentra SE-R would be kickin' rad, but then we're reaching into "wut I want list" territory.

Grabbed LCE from my store pickup - ran home, waited like 20 mins for the drat xbox dashboard update... Started all my FM4 Downloads on my neighbors wireless (see earlier post for my launch day DSL high-jinks). Got through the first race and did a profile import. Whew - just was scared I'd be without live and wanted to get all my content set up. All I should have to do now after work is install disc 2 and pray that wireless stays protection free for awhile so I can club up and rival up and race till my face explodes

My Collectors Edition has shipped, I'll have it tomorrow. So, I imagine I'll get home, start the game installing, get the pages of my fancy book all sticky  and then hopping online to stay up way too late racing people on the internet.
