endurance races were always last on my to-do-list for any racing game.

I have a video. Nurburgring at night driving the X2011. Very intense, I was sweating and hands twitching after these runs. I had to drive over 6 hours like this and it rained for 4 of them.

I got a couple Horizon videos on my YouTube channel. Not much but just messing around stuff. You really like the Aventador, eh? But if you ever play Forza again, turn of TCS and ABS, aswell drive in manual gear and sim mode. It's easier and faster, you just have to press some more buttons TCS and ABS are off (i think, lol) , I only drive in Manual when ever I can. I will not drive in sim mode though. I do not enjoy Forza like some do, it is too realistic for my tastes in video games. If I want a SIM, I take my car to the track IRL. This is why I prefer Forza Horizon. It has the arcade feel I prefer out of racing games. It is also why I loved Midnight Club LA.

I'm a cheap ass too. GTA V was the first new game I've bought since CoD: Black Ops. I also enjoy the casual MK or Street Fighter. After about an hour though I'm over it for another month. GTAV is the first new game ive bought this generation... usually get preowned (although i was bought the orignial Assassins Creed for Xmas last year, then got the rest preowned but i dont count that lol) games s it increases my £:Hour gameplay ratio lol... i measure all my entertainment like that, a new BluRay costs me say £18 about $30) i watch it for two hours maybe twice a year... a preowned game costs £5-£20 and i get many hours of gameplay and entertainiment... i think my most cost effective purchase was sega superstars tennis, cost me 99p (bout a buck 60) and have something like 20-25 hours gameplay on it with my daughter... pennies per hour lol (although at about 140 game hours on GTA SP & MP im getting close to this after the £45 price tag... yup about $70) Last game i bought brand new..... GTA San Andreas on ps2... no joke.. i had game-saves stretching over a 7 year period.

It's easier and faster, you just have to press some more buttons Manual+clutch is the secret go juice in Forza. They didn't model transmission damage very well so everyone just flat foot shifts through everything, effectively "launching" in every gear. That's why you get killed in a straight line with the exact same car with the exact same tune online. I can't drive with TCS turned on until you get into the R class stuff. It screws me up with the car disagrees with me on what I'm trying to do. Same with ABS. It's a little too conservative in threshold braking scenarios.

FYI for those with IOS, Warner Bros. games are on sale for $.99. I got Lego Harry Potter (s) for $.99 each and Lego Batman 2 for $.99. Lego Lord of the Rings is $2.99.
Batman controls are mostly good. Switch to virtual controller in the settings. Throwing the batarang sucks though.

With Christmas just 1 day away I have some anxiety already. I asked Santa for GT6, if he/she brings it I will be torn between games. Both are GTA and GT are my top fav games and huge time sucks, how to manage.

Gran Tourismo is waaaayy too hard for me. I can't get down with the simulation games. Doesn't matter what car I use on that game, I spin out on the first turn.

I found a fresh sealed copy of GT6 under the tree this morning. This is gonna be tough. Maybe it will suck and I will not have to get the Platinum. I am not wanting to grind in GT again like I did 5.

Im waiting a while before gt6... I smashed gt5 and still get a little gameplay out of it... Altho I imagine a few of us will be tempted, but the New need for speed also looks pretty good

I have been wanting to try Fallout New Vegas, waiting to find it for free.
The wife got Assassins Creed Black Flag for the holiday. I gave it a go last night. Wow graphics and detail. I was in the Navy for a few years and captaining the ship in the beginning was right up my alley. I am going to be spending some time on this one. Playstation Plus has Boderlands 2 for free right now. I have been waiting for this one. Downloaded last night and will be playing it some as wel.

I could list a treasure trove of games that I have played prior to this one. From Pong to Oddessy to Comodore 64 to Atari to Nintendo 64 to PC to Playstation to Plastation 2 to Xbox360 I have played hundreds of games of all genra's and quality. When I had to sell my PS2 I had 84 game disks with it.
My problem is I don't really remember most of them. I have terrible long term memory and very spotty short term. However, to answer your question I play one game at a time. I have Assasins Creed III that I got from a friend that I haven't even touched, I have a half built space ship in Starmade, I'm about half way through Tropico 4, I have an unfinished character in Skyrim, I closed down my server in DayZ where I was actually adding custom buildings, cities and forts to the map, I have several cities in progress in SimCity4, and I have an Idle set of characters in APB Reloaded but none of those things have been touched since I started in GTA5. That is just how I play unfortunately. I am a completioninst so all of these unfinished things are killing me actually. My son is the type to constantly be after the next interesting thing and he liked to play with me so he would constantly be pushing me to get the one he wants to play. That is why I left so many that I really wasn't done with in my own mind behind. Now that he has moved away maybe I will be able to backtrack some as he is on the other side of the planet and our game times don't match up much anymore. but that won't happen as long as I am content with GTA. Hell I played Star Wars Galaxies for almost 3 years before I decided I had run out of things to do and keep me interested. When the day comes though it is like cutting an umbilical cord for me though. When I am done I say goodbye to friends and bam that's it...I rarely ever go back to a completed game.
Ah let me stop my rambling.
TL:DR - - I only play GTAO. My one track mind can't even handle playing GTA V and GTAO at the same time.

@luapyllier - Im often a 1 game sort of guy, although i do like the occasional break to stop me getting frustrated or bored... I've got AC3 sitting in a box at home too, bought it cos i picked up a really cheap copy when blockbuster over here shut down.. cost me about $10 (think it was about £6.50)... took me 2 weeks to take the cellophane off it, ive played about an hour and then went back to GTA5.... its there as a backup when/if i finally get bored of GTA:O but... my girlfriend picked up Lego Lord of the Rings and Lego Marvel superheroes at christmas... mainly for her as she has never really been a gamer since weve been together (her ex spent about 10 hours a day on COD, she got understandably frustrated). She knows GTA5 is my current go-to game 9lived in my ps3 from release to xmas day) so i know she was buying for herself using the "i thought you might like them too" excuse ... Needless to say ive been roped into playing some co-op with her and its been fun, terrorizing middle earth instead of los santos, collecting silver gold and purple discs of lego and best of all,,, no DNS modders lol.. but in about 8 hours we've nearly completed the story, have 100% most of the levels and about 40-60% of the treasures... i dont see much replay value for that game... on the upside though, its not actually come out of my game time... shes sacrificed watching breaking bad in favor of playing on the playstation, ive stlil had my time on tuesdays and sundays to play (with any opportunity in between mainly being taken up by xmas at the moment)... i count that as a win... less TV more gaming is a happy household lol.... TL:DR version... lego is fun, but not as fun as GTA

I have been wanting to try Fallout New Vegas, waiting to find it for free. Well, if you play on the PC, it is currently $2.64 here in the states, not sure what it is for you. Steam runs some great deals around the holidays. Just put a game on your wish list, once it gets lowered they send you an email. I absolutely loved Assassin's Creed 2 franchise, it started going down hill for me right in the middle of the Revelations though. Too much extra crap being added to the game with every new one coming out for my enjoyment of it. I know others feel differently though.

im sorta necromancing this thread so my apologies...
but i noticed a few of the guys ive not seen much recently have been playing other racing games (how dare you) plus with our new additions i wondered does anyone play any other racing games and would there be any benefit to adding new sections about these??
obv our little crew start and remains to be very GTA & Race focussed... but as time goes on people pick up new games, buy current gen consoles etc...
so would anyone be intrested in non GTA discussion areas, that still remain in the Racing theme, such as a Forza or Gran Turismo or NFS section?? Are they enough of us playing these games to justify it (i still play a bit of GT5 with my daughter as i wont let her race on GTA...)
anyone want some GT or Forza based competitions??
My reasoning behind it is because Red Rum is a racing crew, but there are other racing games,,, why not stimulate a bit of discussion surrounding these,,.,,, if youve got some non GTa playing friends that like to race, why not invite them over to the forum to start some discussions, setup events etc..

Plants V Zombie Garden Warfare (360) which is great fun and I play sometimes when I'm not in the mood for GTA.
Also have the occasional blast on zombies on Cod Black Ops 2.
Hit me up if anyone ever fancies a go on either.
