Re: Forza Horizon 4

WTAF is it with games these days having hundreds of pieces of clothing for you to unlock? Honestly, I don't give a single fvck what my in-game avatar is wearing while behind the wheel of their car, because its a fvcking game.

Mito, honestly, your generation has so much to ask for.

Re: Forza Horizon 4

Absolutely addicted to this, just a shame real, actual paying work is getting in the way of a sneaky day on the sofa.

So its all set in the UK and yet all the cars I've seen so far are LHD for some reason.

Re: Forza Horizon 4

The graphics in this are absolutely stunning, even in poverty spec 1080p.

I take it the first while with limited missions which you’re lead to one after another are a kind of tutorial?

Re: Forza Horizon 4

I assume games get cycled around, but how long will they be available - i.e. will they suddenly take Forza away or is the plan that they're always available?

Re: Your fleet running reports

The Golf R really is a brilliant all-rounder but the wife is not onboard. Not in the way I expected as she drives it like she stole and loves how nippy it is, even with the dogs, luggage and shouties. No, last night she mentioned that I should have got something stupid, impractical and really fast b...

Re: Forza Horizon 4

Has anybody signed up for the MS game pass? I know the selection of games are limited, but £7.99 a month seems like an OK price to pay - AAA titles are £50-£60 for the basic editions these days.

Re: Forza Horizon 4

I've just found that bundle of an Xbox X, Forza and Fifa 19 for £409 which seems like a good deal so that's it ordered. Just need to find the right TV now...

I think my gamertag is the same as my login here, so feel free to add me for any Forza-based shenanigans.

Re: Which 4K OLED TV?

I guess anything from LG, Samsung or Sony which gets a couple of good reviews will probably do the job.

Re: Decent Recent TV

I've got the same nagging doubts about The Bodyguard - much as I enjoyed Line of Duty, there was a bit of emperor's new clothes about it and any hint of it being grounded in reality was often thrown out the window when it suited them (as well as intelligent characters behaving like idiots to progres...

Re: Which 4K OLED TV?

I'll be honest, part of the reason I'm considering it now is having seen some Sky content in 4K and I could easily tell the difference and was very impressed with it.

My lovely wife still doesn't care if she watches stuff in SD rather than HD, so you know, wimmin.....

Re: Which 4K OLED TV?

Is there a massive difference between LED and OLED for TVs of that size when playing 4K content in terms of quality?

I've seen what appears to be some nice Samsung screens under £1000 but they all seem to be LED based.

Re: New iPhones

I think my iPad is the most used device I own - email, web, reading, streaming video etc. And with a keyboard I use it for lots of other stuff that I'd normally need a laptop for, its a nice device to work on. I'm thinking of ditching the X and getting an XR(3i). Bigger battery life, pretty much ide...

Re: New iPhones

:D I loved the Motorola V50 and still have one in a drawer with a blue 8210. Nokia did some nice premium versions in matt black and metal, I think one had a slider cover over it too. I get why people want bigger phones now as they've become so powerful and the screens are great for watching stuff on...

Which 4K OLED TV?

I've resisted, but its time to upgrade the TV and move that one in to what's going to become the "game room" for the boy. The upcoming Forza 4 has made me think about getting a new Xbox for that and the 4k blu rays, so have started looking. Obviously OLED with HDR seems to be the way to go...

Re: New iPhones

Just updated the family's spare phone which is an SE to iOS 12 and it really does zip along. I still think that design from the iPhone 4 is one of the most iconic and best phone designs I've ever seen. And even though its comically small now, I think it has a perfect size, weight and feel to it.

Re: New iPhones

EKG functionality in a watch though? That's some pretty cool stuff although has it been confirmed its going to be released in the UK with all the functionality the US has? They did scientific trials in the US when the last watch launched which I assume has paved the way for the EKG now. But those t...
