I’m giving up my Xbox because I have a pc game which takes up all the time I have available for gaming. I hate to waste all the accumulated credits, tuning setups, paint designs, etc.; I’d rather give them to some new racers who can get some use from them.
If this interests you, send me a pm (I will still check my messages on the forum daily, even if I don’t fire up the 360). There is only one week left before my subscription runs out. After that, i won’t be able to gift, buy auction cars, or answer any messages.
Sorry to see you go!
Thanks for all the great competitions you gave us.
Good luck in the future!
I miss all the FM4 comps that have stopped in in the Racing Lounge.
+1 !!! =)
On behalf of everyone, I’d like to thank you for all the challenges I’ve taken part of since getting my 360 late last year and all your banter in here.
What PC game is it that you’re enjoying at the mo?
Xbox Live Gold isn’t required for messaging.
And remember bud, every Forza game from FH3 on will also be coming out on PC. If your rig can handle Cities Skylines, it can handle Forza. ; )
thanks for all the kind words, guys.
I will have to investigate the “Forza 4 on Windows 10” thang.
anyone know if gifting, text messages and the rest will work from a pc w/o Gold?
Forza Motorsport 6 Apex and Forza Horizon 3 are on PC, not Forza Motorsport 4. Then Forza Motorsport 7 and any future Forza games will also release on PC.
And yeah, you can message regardless of your Xbox membership. But none of the next gen Forzas support gifting (as of yet).
Sorry I was unable to help anyone out with some credits (over a billion of 'em went to waste), but I will not be renewing my Gold subscription. Hope to see some of you if & when I play Forza 4 (or 5, or 6, or…?) on pc someday. I really did enjoy some of the online racing. I feel strongly that the population of adult gamers who enjoy racing sims are helping to keep sportsmanship alive in the world of Forza.
All the best TF, you have given many people many, many hours of fun. Great challenges, tunes and designs.
As addicting as racing sims are, Cities:Skylines Is even more so (at least for me). My first city is up to almost 90,000 inhabitants and every time I tour the place, I find another little neighborhood that inspires me to do some improvement. Managing transportation systems is very challenging. I already have a city where any visitor can come in by air, sea, rail or highway and use mass transit totravel anywhere in the region. My roads and especially my railroads need to be massaged so that they look like they were laid out by a pro, but my focus so far has been on making things work; making them look good is on the second page.
Thanks for the compliments, and sorry to drone on about my pc game. I’m sure I will get the bug to go racing again from time to time, but I was right in thinking that my gaming time will be taken up with city building for awhile…
I once spent a couple days building a huge transit system on Sim City 4; took forever to plan out and put down. Aaand then my citizens all just crowded one stretch of single lane road and made a permanent roadblock… There’s a lovely elevated highway right next to you twits, but yeah, just keep camping on that one road. >.>
Thankfully there was the U-Drive mode, so I took an Abrams tank and “cleared” the traffic jam myself. Then I made sure I’d never have any problems with that road again by turning it into the base of a volcano. : )
Would be very tempted to get Skylines for the X1, if it ever comes out. As we’ve discussed before, it’d suck not being able to use a keyboard and mouse, but dangit, I wanna play it. Lol
When I analyze my return to gaming after 30 years ignoring it, I think my Forza years have been a modern-day reliving of my teenage passion for scale model cars. I must have built (and lovingly detailed) hundreds of the cars I never expected to drive IRL.
Likewise, I see city builder sims as an extension of the fascination I once had for scale model railroad layouts. In high school, my best friend and I had a huge HO-scale layout in his basement which connected through a strange window-size hole between a room which had been coal storage and the former furnace which originally heated the house. Each area was about a hundred square feet and one held the town of “Dead Gulch” (my baby) while the other contained “Dry Gulch” —thus the railroad was the DG &DG RR.
Both of us were fanatics about perfect detailing. I can remember spending several minutes placing a single tree, and all day painting a tiny building to be displayed trackside.
I am still the same, whether painting a race car for Forza or perfecting a neighborhood in my :city."
I always wanted to build models but could never get the dang things together right. The most succuss I ever had was an Apache heli, but even that was all wonky and glue stuck out everywhere. I just stuck to Legos or the scale models that snapped together. XD
Man, that too. I’ve always freaking loved scale railroads, but they’re so absurdly expensive and you need a ton of room to set them up. I did have Railroad Tycoon though, so there was always that. If I ever hit the lottery you can bet I’ll have a scale railroad running through my house. Lol
Anything still up for grabs?
