My room mate got me a Logitech g29 racing wheel and I picked up forza horizon 3 for 25 bucks. I've exhausted all my gifts allowance for the year since I just built a i7 8700k w gtx 1080 ti pc with a 4k acer predator 32 inch monitor costing me a little north of 3000 in the past few weeks.

Game wise forza horizon 3 was the only game I didn't have that I wanted and it is never on sale so was happy to see it was finally. Well besides call of duty infinite warfare which is still 60 bucks a year later.

@oursin_360: oh thanks I've seen others mention issues with i7 and I simply want everyone to enjoy this great game. I have over 2000 photos taken with photo mode at 25 hours in.

It's an incredible game and short of this cpu issue some are having one of the greatest technical marvels out there.

I'm confused, watched unprofessional fridays and it showed 100% CPU across the board. In fact most places I have seen stating that the patch ruined the game for them. I was on a different PC when I started the game as I just built the new one but I am getting really good performance. The lowest my FPS usually drops is into the mid 40s and usually sits around 52-55 unless in huge areas with lots of foliage.

I do not have this issue and I'm playing it at 4K on Ultra with nothing turned off. I wasn't having this issue on i7 4770k or i7 8700 so I don't know what is causing it. This is my GOTY game though so far and I recommend people to play it!

i7 8700 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHZ GTX 1080 Ti no over clocks

Neogaf giant bomb thread was an insanely negative place in regards to staff I hope those people don't try to disrupt things now that they can't just have a commune of nastiness. I'm surprised how quickly this shit show went down. I was reading neogaf earlier today about Mario odyssey and then now it isn't even accessible.

If NMS developers had any idea on how to make their product better they would release modding tools and embrace allowing the players to make the game better through mods. The handful of mods that were initially released made the game bearable for a few weeks before the game loop became tedious again.

There were mods that made all plant faunta random sizes so you could come to a planet and it would just be crawling with huge thick trees everywhere and it looked wild in many cases. I can't even imagine what would happen if they just said here are the modding tools go nuts do whatever you want with this entire universe sandbox.

That trailer didn't do much to excite me, the one with vehicles was at least mildly entertaining to watch the trailer for. They didn't do a great job presenting why someone would want to play this again.

There seems to be issues with the progress bar on desktop and on mobile. Interestingly enough using mobile the progress bar is at the TOP and doesn't go away so the entire video you have a RED BAR MOVING and its incredibly irritating. I've brought it up several times and no one seems to care.

Also on mobile when watching a video that is being live streamed it has an INFINITE loading circle. I have an iphone 7 and a samsung tab s2 and on both of them using WIFI or just my phone carrier the bar spins infinitely. It goes away when I "request mobile" but that has a whole other sets of problems on mobile.

Do I need to start a new thread for this issue or are people aware of the progress bar at the top of videos? It has made me go to youtube to watch any giant bomb videos except live ones (which I can't watch due to the infinite streaming thing) on mobile.

Good luck. I healed it as a 862 holy paladin and it was rough in some spots and to be honest not many people believed you can do Karazhan pre 870. It is basically a +5 Mythic Keystone but much harder due to the mechanics.

my friend who didn't like the beta accepted the fact I was going to text him high as fuck evcery 3-4 hours telling him to bu ythe division so today he called me and said "hey, I bought the divison, wife is leaving for las vegas so lets play tonight" ... 13 hours later and level 24 and I got to say the gun play in this game is just so much fun.

listen, this same friend and me used to play quake 1 and could play the same 5-10 maps for hundreds of hours over the course of a weekend, so having literally thousands of guns and endless people and animals to kill we are really just so satisfied with gaming in 2016.

It feels really, really good to hit someone with a marksman rifle for 50k damage. The sound effect of a killing headshot is very satisfying. I hope that they just go crazy with this game and give us demons and hell stuff to fight one day but I know this is all we will get but all I can hope is they don't fuck up the "end game treadmill" that keeps us wanting to come back for more.

We got 15 levels in the dark zone in less than an hour at level 23 when we first stepped inside. It was a ton of fun and besides the fact that you can't res your pal (you just take their loot lol) it is a pretty damn fun gaming experience. We were talking about the saudi prince that raped some woman and how he got off on the charges claiming he was sleep walking and drunkenly fell onto the couch and his penis went inside of them, and some other players overheard this walking by and made a remark and my friend was laughing hysterically that I was just walking around without anyone else listening to the story and this is "the dark zone experience"

We also have determined some good code names for loot (everyone can hear you in proximity in the dark zone)...

"I got half a batch of cookies" (I have 5+ items)

"Lets bring these cookies home to momma" (i'm full lets extract)

"I need some fresher cookies" (my loot isn't good enough to extract)

The game completely owns. Playing it at 4K with no slow down and it just looks breath taking whether it is sunny or there is a massive blizzard.
