Full soundtrack revealed!

Neat to see Descendents and Bad Religion in there.

Thanks! I snagged it. If I ever get a Warthog code sent to me, I'll share it here in return.

I was planning to wait on this for a bit but that demo sucked me right back in. The co-op mode should be a blast. And it's going to take some getting used to cars being on the wrong side of the road.

Oh yeah, the demo is solid (as I expected). No need to mess around with it any more. Would rather wait and put my progress towards the actual game -- which will be here in 6 days. Looks great and plays great!

I'm not a very big racing fan, but was inspired to load up Forza Horizon 2 the last few days after buying it on sale and only spending a little time with it. Makes me want to get this game, even though I know I shouldn't

Windows Central 5/5 - Masterpiece - http://www.windowscentral.com/forza-horizon-3

PROS
- Absolutely gorgeous
- Massive map with open space to roam
- Hundreds of licensed cars
- Xbox Play Anywhere puts it on your PC for free

CONS
- Ummm...
- ...
- ... OK maybe there's quite a bit of loading screen time
- But we're picking there
Sadly, I won't be able to play it until the 30th due to a trip next week.

Bright side : Just think how many of my mediocre race times, stunt distances and discoveries I will have posted by then for you to easily surpass.

Re: Forza Horizon 3 (XboxOne/W10, play anywhere) - Sep 27, 2016, mate!

Got home today to find this waiting for us on the front porch:



My father-in-law knows how obsessed my wife is with racing games, so he got us a Logitech G920 as an anniversary gift. (He just bought an Xbox One S and Forza 6, so I bet he got one for himself too.) It'll go great with FH3, which Maggie basically knows I got her. Now we just have to figure out what to do for a stand. Maggie wants something collapsible that won't take up a ton of space. Any suggestions?

Is this too much space? https://www.amazon.com/Openwheeler-A.../dp/B005ZQAGIU

Thanks! I think that's what we're going to try to do, at least in the short term.

Anyone else want a Warthog code? Not a big enough fan to care too much, figured one of you would enjoy it more then me.

Just got off the phone with "customer service" and five minutes of explaining the concept of pre-order to the person on the other end. Ended with a guarantee I'd have it tomorrow, which would be impressive since it's now 6pm Pacific time. I guess I'll see tomorrow.

I played it for about an hour last night.

I guess they should have just called it Forza Horizon 2.5.

Spoiler:
Just kidding, it's fucking awesome. Familiar and different. Gorgeous. I love it.

By the way, if there's anything I don't like, it's the Buggy / Van / Ute races. I'm not as skilled as most of you as it is, but in those races? I'm outright terrible.
