Both are incredibly good. I would probably rank 3 above 4 personally but not really for any other reason than I think the main map is marginally better.

I also bought the Ultimate Edition, and if I go to that version on the Xbox app it says I don't own it. But if I go to the standard edition it lets me download it. Does that work for you?

It also shows up as purchased for me in the Microsoft Store application, so that's another place to check.

Make sure to download the free DLC cars before they get delisted too. I don't remember how many there are or if they are remarkable, but free cars!

After getting the Dolby for Headphones and playing a lot of COD last night I really do think it is worth it if you use headphones a lot.

Things really do sound crisper and easier to ID.

I also got the Elite 2 and I'm not 100% sold on that yet but I have 45 days to decide if I like it or not. I think I need to build up some muscle memory to use the paddles.

It does feel nice in the hands though.

If you aren't used to paddles I would start with just using 2. Personally I do jump on the left paddle and crouch on the right.

Yeah I took two of them off because it felt a little weird. I have crouch on one and good call on jump on the other! I was still trying to figure out what to do with the other.

I'm just saying, there's a nonzero chance Trump has a really toad penis.
Horizon 3 has a better setting, Hot Wheels DLC is better than Lego DLC, and the whole "seasons" thing in 4 was lame. Forza Horizon 3 for life.

2 was also very good and sadly will always be trapped on the console

I am mad at 2 because I'm missing one road for the drive on all roads achievement and I cannot find it.

The intro to 3 absolutely owns in 4K, a whole section of the map was engineered just for that opening race to have some incredible vistas. It's in the demo, so download that ASAP in case it also gets delisted.

Yeah FH3 is better than FH4. The map is more interesting as are the challenges. I just found it a far better experience than 4, and that’s even before looking at the Hot Wheels DLC (which is excellent).

That demo sold me on the game, really enjoyed it.

I also have an elite v1. I don't use the paddles too much, but they do come in handy for some games.

Oh, so the expansion pass isn't included in the ultimate edition of Horizon 3. Should've read the fine print. I honestly don't care that much about these car passes, but whatever.

You should get both 3 and 4. 3 is fun, 4 is prettier and I like the setting better (I have an absolute obsession with the english countryside) but 3s is awesome too.

They're both really fun. The DLC for both is awesome too. They work really well in tandem.

I was just looking at that too. I think thats just including the VIP car passes. The Hot Wheels DLC is 3x the price of the standard game at £17.99 :(

The pass which includes both expansion DLCs (including Hot Wheels) is about £8 until it disappears soon. The site doesn't make that clear if you just look at the Hot Wheels DLC.

FH3 was my first Horizon game. I only tried it because there aren't that many games set meaningfully in Australia and they did a fantastic job with that part, it was awesome driving on streets and roads that looked like places I could go in real life and the game was pretty fun on top of that. I didn't actually think the Hot Wheels DLC was that amazing but I was probably burned out by the time I played it, and I never even touched the snowy mountain one. I haven't got FH4, maybe the gameplay is incredible but the England map surely couldn't be anywhere near as varied or interesting.

In hindsight it's lucky it came out when it did, we had decades of local car manufacturing and Holden/Ford rivalries and original designs but Holden was basically dead and there weren't any factories going within a year of the game's release.

Agreed. FH3 & FH4 are both solid games but I definitely preferred 3 for the varied :australia: locations and the overall more fun kind of vibe it has.

FH3 also has a Tesla so you can get the clutch + manual difficulty bonuses in a car that uses neither. :v:
