So how many of you are one? I broke down and figured why the hell not and get one. I'm a playstation man but respect the Xbone. I'll be getting a PS4 later anyway for Project CARS. I was getting crazy bored of GT6 and missed FM4. Anyone play Forza 5?

Spent all afternoon playing Titanfall, will jump into F5 soon
(enjoyed all the others, why not this one?)

Yeah I need to play that, looking forward to it. Got it downloaded, so may play it later today. And I love F5, it is a huge step up from all the others, not just a glorified 4. There are some tracks missing but that's because they wanted to redo some of them, since some tracks had old renderings and then put them in as dlc. Nurb should be in soon as long with cars. You'll have to buy a lot of dlc but that's because they are doing the same with the cars as they are with the tracks. Sucks there may be no porsche pack anymore though

I'll buy an xbox one sometime down the road......still have the new LCE FM5 sitting here.

I am saddened to hear that there aren't leaderboards in FM5 though.

Did anyone else read the title as X Boners?
I thought it was going to be a viagara ad or something...

I saw leaderboards, although it's weird how you rank on them.

Oh, IDK for sure, its just been hearsay from friends who come back to play FM4, GTA, and World of Tanks with me.....Titanfall is berkeleying up the servers in a big way though.

Coming from FM4, you think it is more bare with tracks and car selection but you also got to remember, they are redoing tracks and adding more and different cars than FM4. Titanfall is screwing with the servers big time i've noticed.

An old friend had an xbox live name of "bigb1r" (big boner). When we would play online, people would call him BigBird and he would get sooooo pissed that no one got the joke lol

Finally got around to playing Forza.
Holy E36 M3 that's difficult.

So far on my normal settings from the other Forza games, I'm not even good enough to win the first race.

I hop on Forza 5 every once in awhile, my preference lately seems to be GTA or Borderlands 2.

Been playing Forza 5. More battlefield lately because we've got one more person that needs to get FM. In fact I just got off. XB Handle is the same as my handle on here. Feel free to add me.

I roll with only SMS on. I believe difficulty set to hard.

Hot lap times. All clean laps beat dirty.

There is also Rivals Mode which is what is really good at wasting your day away. On FM4, yself and another GRMer spent a lot of time drift battling each other.

I noticed just like before, the stock controller deadzones are set berkeleying way off! I had a hard time doing good at first but changed that and boom, competitive. I play with everything off, simulation steering, manual, and I think I have it set to expert because pro is a little too much for me now and unbeatable is, at least for me, just that.

I think I already added you guys. And N Sperlo, yeah, I can forsee myself doing that here soon haha

Spool, I wish this thread happened a few days ago before I sent out for a custom plate

I spent alot of time climbing the FM4 leaderboards to end up top-1000 in multiple classes overall. Not bad for someone refusing to run a "spec leaderboard car"

Yeah, I'm berkeleying awful at this game.

Seriously considering getting my $600 back from Costco, I'm not liking going to bed angry every night.

I noticed it definetly takes some concentration. It took my a full championship and some online and free races to get in the swing of things. It's addicting as hell now.
