@Versus_Evil   All very nice games. Good choices.

From exclusives only, mine are Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Ori and the Blind Forest, Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive (the best of them all). So basically every exclusive except Forza 5. I'm pretty happy with my purchase of an Xbone so far. Most multis i still play them on PS4 though, except FIFA 15.

Ugh don't even get me started on Forza 5, so f'ing boring. The loading screens all the time, and it's just too ehh for me. I like the open world and the radio. I may get 6, but not at launch. They better make Horizon 3.

I was looking at the Xbox store and found that Final Fantasy Type-0 is cheaper than the physical copy. It is priced like a $50 dollar game.

In Saudi Arabia, games mostly priced like this:
- New $60 Third Party Game (Other than Fifa and CoD): 299 S.R. ($80)
- New $60 First Party Game: 249 S.R. (~$66)

Final Fantasy Type-0 Episode Duscae Edition: 209 S.R. (~$56)

Is the digital version cheaper for everybody?

That's something I don't hear alot when it comes to Horizon 2, the loading... It's insanely quick for a open world game, fast traveling around the map is really quick.

That is a very good point, the original is very similar on that too I believe. Then again I enjoyed driving round and trying to nail the speed cameras and break the signs to use fast travel, but it was a good system with the Horizon outposts. You do something enjoyable and you get to travel for less. 

It has a lot of neat little features, thinking about it!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Most of you honestly wouldn't like Forza Motorsport regardless of what features they added, because at the end of the day it would still be a sim racer, and that's either something you're into or it's not.

Personally I get a lot more out of Motorsport than Horizon. For reference, I put 196 hours into Forza 5, compared to 38 so far into Horizon 2. That's not to say I don't find Horizon incredibly fun, but Motorsport is my jam

This is a pretty valid point.

Rayman Legends is finally getting old for me, seems like each day I'm playing it less and less.

For me personally it's because I love the Mortorsport franchise I want to see these features added, I loved FM4 but I want it to evolve as a franchise. And tsk tsk only 38hrs in FH2? smh.


I'm not saying I don't want those features you mentioned, just that for a lot of people it really wouldn't change much in terms of their overall enjoyment of the game 



For Forza 5 I'm just trying to get all the championship wins xD 
I think I'm at like a little over halfway through, but it's been a grind. The loading times are so long, plus I just like the arcadey nature of Horizon more. 

Time played:
Forza 5: 79 hrs 24 minutes
Horizon 2: 229 hrs 4 minutes

Damn that's lot of time in Horizon 2! I really want to get it eventually, just waiting on a sale of some kind lol.

As much as I like simulation racers, I like arcade-like racers a lot more. Plus the open-world style of Horizon seems to give you a lot of freedom that Forza 5 doesn't.
