My 6 yr old got on my xbox and was trying to play forza horizon 1. Instead he accidentally bot forza horizon 3. About 5 hrs into it and loving it. The best racing game I've ever played. Also the best looking game I've played. I'm just happy my son got a game I was going to buy anyway.

Did he buy you the stardard copy or the Ultimate Edition? :D

I've just finished everything in Forza Horizon 1 myself and it was the first in game in the series I've played and it's been a blast and the first time i've really played a racing game since PS2 era with Gran Turismo so looking forward to playing more in the Forza series. Edit: I did acctually play some Driveclub on the PS4 which was a good game but it was no where near as good as FH.

I'm wondering whether I should buy Forza Horizon 2 and finish it all up just because I generally like playing games from the start of the series even if a new game has just came out either to follow the story or just see how the game develops and progresses but with racing games it's not really required to do so which makes it tempting to just purchase Forza Horizon 3 and then grab 2 after I've done everything in it :)

Everyone who plays Gears of War should take advantage of those 10th anniversary packs that cost 200coins. I bought like 30 of them and now I have a good chunk of scrap for horde skills and skins.

I completed 50 waves of hardcore horde with randoms last night. People have learned to play it and turrets are super overpowered. I think they should add locust to horde to make it more difficult and shake things up a bit. Maulers and Corpsers would laugh at our turrets and force to play more tactical.

Indeed. I have rare skills maxed out now thanks to this event. I'm even working on maxing out my Mortar Strike on my Heavy. I also have maxed out Turret damage so if it came to it, I should be able to mess up a mauler. But even then a Salvo could do serious damage. Heavy can end up with +200% damage when they use salvos. Its a little broken. Sad to see the class so underutilized. I love my heavy.

They should nerf turrets or limit them to two or three I think. Yeah I rarely see anyone playing heavy class. I've got a lvl6 scout and lvl5 soldier, I play mostly King of the Hill and Escalation. You ever completed 50 waves of insane horde? I'd like to try get those achievements but would need a good group for that.

I'm a filthy casual. I only play Horde on Normal so far. I got my heavy at level 10 along with all the skills it uses. At least until I can max out Mortar Strike which is at level 3. Its gotten to the point where I can point the Salvo vaguely around them and it will explode on them and they blow up. Its almost like the Salvo became a aoe attack instead of a direct attack. Its really crazy when you see how it tears through waves.

Thinking of pulling the trigger on a 1TB XOne S at GameStop. I have $200 in credit and can get a free game with the current promotion. Problem is I want the white system, but it comes bundled with Gears 4, which I already have digitally. There's the olive green Battlefield bundle but the color looks kind of drab.

I guess I could sell the Gears disc...

Is the physical copy thing Gamestop only? I was about to reply that it contains a digital code not a physical copy but then I look on the Gamestop website and saw it was a physical copy :) I suppose if you buy the console and stand outside gamestop for 10 minutes someone would buy your Gears 4 copy for $40 :P

The Battlefield 1 1TB console at $349 is definitely the better deal of the 2 as the Early enlister copy of Battlefield 1 that is bundled with the green console is worth $80 but if you want the white console Gears 4 1TB is the only real option.

Also what free game are you planing  to get with it ? :)

Heard about a Cyber Monday deal on eBay, so I'm going to wait.

I do have a question for the community, though. If I sell my original Xbox One BEFORE I get my One S, will it be possible to redownload all the software and save data? I've never done a transfer with an Xbox so I have no idea how it works. And do I just de-link my gamertag from the old Xbox before selling?

Thanks for any help!

When you are going to your console you go into setting>system>console info & updates> Reset console>Reset and remove everything, This then restores the console to factory setting and de-links it from your gamertag as a home console.

I believie as long as your Xbox One is connected to Xbox live it stores all your saves in the cloud storage so when you launch the game on a new console it syncs to cloud storage. Like a few weeks ago I played Fable III on the 360 then 5 minutes later put the disk in my Xbox One and as the game booted up it said "accessing cloud storage" and I continued from where my 360 save was.

Damn bought so many new Xbox One games and here I am only playing Mass Effect day in day out.
12 hours into Mass Effect 2 so far. While I was surprised that time seemed to pass much quicker than in Mass Effect, I feel like I have completed a lot more than half the game already. I remember it being about 24 hours long though when I beat it on PC and howlongtobeat.com seems to agree with me there.
Will probably have it beaten by the end of the week.

There are a few things that I just couldn't remember at all. Like having to buy fuel. Also I don't remember having any trouble with the shoot behind cover mechanics, but it's certainly not the best.

Quoted myself again here.

Finished the final mission after 23 hours and 59 minutes lol

You're the best!

That sounds great. I think I'll sell my current system on eBay this week and then use the money to take advantage of the Cyber Monday deal. Xbox One S, here I come!

Took a shot and cleared all 50 waves for Horde on Hardcore. I tore it up! Dead swarm everywhere. But there are lots of Scouts running around. I get it. They have double health so they can stay on a turret longer than your average player. Its a shame but I don't think that there will be much use for Engineers on higher levels of horde unless they are crazy good.
