Something else, because i am already way over my head in debt, sorry. :p Must be the biggest priced game i got on steam, and already had F1 and such from bundles, but they are so punishing, not even a big racing fan, but this one seemed so fun, and since it's coming from xbox it should also be playable with a controller as i don't have a steering wheel (yet).

Hope you enjoy it :)
It’s not bad, but gets boring quickly if you’re not the type of person that will set their own goals and follow them, as the game is almost too open/free in it’s design.

Thanks. :)

Well i dunno if the trailer is a good representation, that you can also ride off the hills, with all sorts of weather types, loads of cars (James Bond ones), a Lego track, and other content, i hope that would give some long enjoyment, the reviews were good (aside from the price but right now it's decent).
I never played something like GTA 5, so i can't compare open racing like that.

Why didn't you check it out via Game Pass first, before you buy it?
Would make sense, if you aren't a racing fan and this is your biggest investment in a game.

Never really thought about it to be honest, I don't have/had a Game Pass, and i see it's 1 euro, but then they email me a verification code which i never seem to get (the same thing with those free xbox 360 or xbox one games).
Even after i changed my email adress, i once had that discussion with microsoft support, i can't remember the whole conversation, but i believe they didn't knew either, and apparently it still never got fixed (i just checked).

I play a lot of indie games, rpg's and adventure games (and right now a bit tired of it) so a racing game would be a welcome change, and the trailer did really convince me with graphics, but also the open world, the Lego tracks, the James Bond cars.
And the reviews were really positive, only risk might be what Damianea103 said that it could get boring fast.

I wouldn't start with the fear of being bored (I have overall over 1k hours in it, and 150+ of them on steam already). you just don't have to rush to do everything as content; sometimes you'll enjoy just making a car you like in the way you like (I look at you Porsche 944, modded for offroad, or the Raptor) and just cruise around. And they have weekly challenges for new cars and gear. The only "-"from my point of view is the limited visual tunning,. but the game compensate with everything else.

Wow, that is a lot.

Very nice to hear that there are challenges and can be entertaining for so long (though i believe that might be a thing that would differ from person to person).
How limited is limited? So a 2080TI wouldn't give an extra ultra settings? :p (i haven't started it up yet).

I play it on an old GTX 960 STRIX (paired with a Ryzen 7 3800XT, 32 GB RAM, and game installed on a pcie M2 SSD), with most of settings on high and geometry on ultra, blur off, shadows on medium or low , and I get constant framerate around 70-75 FPS, so that GPU should handle way better.

After seeing gameplay videos i also wanted to try it (and some specific cars too) but as all Microsoft games it is only for win10 (artifical demand). Looks very good but still no idea if i would be playing it any longer time.

I was also very very hesistant going to windows 10, i was forced because i got a new pc, and on coffee lake cpu's you didn't get windows 7 updates anymore, so i had to use windows 10, but if you use Classic Shell and the likes, it really look a lot more like a windows 7, so it isn't that scary as it might look at first. Unless you still got an old pc that can't even run windows 10.

And you don't know if they ever made updates to it, to fix it or that the steam version would be different?

The steam version is either the same or worse cause it still has the crashes but it also has some stuttering problems

Thank You for the chance! Phantom Doctrine seems something right in my alley!
Also, have fun with Forza! I am not much of a racing-enthusiast, but I have fond memories of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (the original), Star Wars: Pod Racer and Pod Gold, so I can relate a little. :) Racing can be fun time to time.

Yeah, I don't know what happens with Forza games on PC, but they all crash a lot. Forza Horizon 3 was almost unplayable with all the crashes, too. And I tried Forza Motosport 7 recently and I couldn't finish a single race, it always crashes.

I have to say that last time I played FH4 it didn't crash in game (it crashed in the benchmark tool, though). I got bored of it after 2 weeks. The moment I found out the place you finish a race doesn't matter at all for anything I lost interest in the racing. And just driving around gets old fast.

racing in forza horizon is dumb, the worst is that everyone can set their own difficulty, i like to drive without any helpers and with damage on, if i would race online someone could crash me and i couldnt even race to finish it when the other guy can drive away as if nothing happened. i personally love to cruise around with cars i like. it is more a sandbox than a racing game atleast for me

I'm a bit torn, since I already played the MS version a while, but don'rt want to miss Steam achievements by continuing. So I will wait for a bit better discount and then start over again. Until then I still can complete the 3rd part.
While Forza is also open world, it's way more interesting presented as The Crew. And even though NfS Heat is one of the better NfS games lately, several parts of the game design annoyed me. Didn't happen with Forza.

Enjoy it!

I am sure if they discount it so soon, a better one will come along, i am not suprised if this will eventually come in a bundle, but probably not the ultimate edition so to force people buying the DLC.

Yeah, MS isn't back to Steam for long yet, let's see if they really get bundled. The discounts at MS store over the years weren't that great.

It's a fun game and they added lot of things for free. I really enjoyed it and from time to time i play again some races and try get some new cars, i don't own any DLC that adds more maps or the LEGO world, but it's really fun anyways.

Because the way you set up your giveaways, all either been free, but with bulletstorm, i suspect you trying to get some cheap full cv too, i only got 2 1/2 pages of visible giveaways, so it became really noticable when there is a wave of a freebie.
I will remove you for now, but if i do a sweep again i am not keeping track.

I'm a long-time and huge sim/arcade racing game fan. FH4 is a very awesome open world racing game! But I got it by buying the FH3+FH4 Ultimate bundle on M$ Store before M$ delist FH3. I definitely will buy FH4 again when 75%-off on Steam because the M$ Store is a joke.
