Repost from the other thread:

Oh hi. I played Forza 6 a bunch of times at Gamescom. Was absolutely gorgeous. The Rio track is insane with so much poo poo going on.

Cars seemed good, although I don't think they got the sounds quite right yet.

What edition are you all buying?

Yeah, there's really no reason not to get The Version That Costs The Most because it gives you the game a week early and gently caress waiting for things you want now.

Whoa a week early? Really?

Thank god I finally fixed my sound crackling/stuttering issue. Now my only problem is my wife keeps trying to steal the controller from me. BACK OFF LADY.

EDIT: I just won the Veyron in my first spin.

Why I asked if we keep our prizes since I did that too. Unfortunately gently caress your dreams you aren't getting a veyron to start.

Also I haven't done any forza online stuff but a ton of gran turismo online which I was near the top every race it seems. I think I can do well to start and improve.

Oh well, according to the Forza Hub I'm going to unlock a metric shitton of stuff anyways.

I never knew how badly I wanted puddles in a racing game before now.

Oddly I did a track day yesterday in the pouring rain and it was a ton of fun. Except for puddles. Those aren't fun at 120.

You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one living in Seattle. I probably know a dozen people I'd feel comfortable texting for a discount.

The guy I bought my M3 from was a senior program manager in the Xbox division who also happened to be the main guy responsible (guilty?) for bringing Party Chat to the Live service in 2008 (I like to think, on my many, MANY suggestions to do so) but alas he no longer works there so I was forced to pay FULL PRICE!!! Man. Now I'm sad, I used to get all sorts of free Xbox & 360 stuff (they called the first Xbox the Xbox)

Also, I tell people I work at a bank so they don't text me for discounts on what my company actually sells. Although rides in Lambos would make me more amenable to sorting out hookups. :v:

Thanks buddy! I knew I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't find it again in the ridiculous rats-nest of terrible microsoft/xbox websites that barely function at the best of times and all try to funnel a signed-in user (Me) towards buying a product (the pre-order) that I already own and paid for.

Wait what would you trade for Lambo rides?

Over 3000 pounds, no third pedal, and it makes you look like you've done well in life. I have a personal distaste for comfort and prestige. Maybe if it was a kia or something i'd lust after it more. More power to you and i hope you get one and enjoy the hell out of it.

Took a few weeks off due to work. Holy poo poo the new car pack is amazing. A wide variety of really well done cars. Can't wait to race the limo.

Is there a way to default the color/livery section to go to factory colors first? I'm really tired of having to wait for it to load up a bunch of really lovely liveries and batman cars.

By the way - does anyone have a good list of cars/tunes for each class? I feel so behind, and I joined a multiplayer lobby and half the people had a 97 Civic so I assume that car is doing well for C class.

Sorry, what were the glitches? Are there any other ones? I am loving horrible at the level up spins and it makes me sad that's the main progression thing now.

You could buy any car for free if you just 'quit' the game from the dashboard after purchasing it but before the 'saving' screen finished.

drat. That would have been useful. I'm almost level 40 and only have a little over a million credits. Kind of sucks.
