So in order to use all the cars and what not, you have to swap discs around? Other vehicles and maps are on the second disc?

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/04/forza-motorsport-3-will-ship-on-two-discs/

This is NOT a linear game...so multiple discs = fail. Have certain cars and maps on a specific disc is like having a certain island on a specific disc in GTA. You just don't do that.

Well, at least people can shut up now about BR being useless for games.....

Edit: Oh, I read the comments here, and most said that it wouldn't ship on more than one disc, so....pwned. They need a second disc for the remainder of the cars and maps. And according to Joystiq: "we now have confirmation that not all gamers will be able to enjoy all 400 vehicles promised at the Microsoft press briefing."

That's messed up. We all pay $60 at retail......

Do your reading comprehension problems only apply to press releases with Microsoft exclusives? It clearly says in the second paragraph that disc 2, the one with the extra tracks and cars is a data transfer disc. It will load into your hard drive and you will use disc 1 to play the game itself.

 

Does that mean a hard drive is required?

These aren't "extra" tracks and cars, but stuff that is supposed to be in the game itself but doesn't fit on one disc. Otherwise, why would they say "not all gamers will be able to enjoy all 400 vehicles promised at the Microsoft press briefing"

Edit: And it seems I did misunderstand something, but the point still stands. If I'm an Arcade owner, and I want to play a certain car on a certain map, there are problems, aren't there? The second disc seems to be like Versus mode for RE5....DLC that SHOULD be on the disc, it's just that in this situation, the game was too big, and this only hurts the people who bought the Arcade...surely you can't possibly stick up for this?

Doubtful. It's more likely that if you don't have a hard drive, you won't be able to install disc 2 and will have to work with the cars and tracks on disc 1.

What's the point of repeating your original points? I was just commenting on that statement you made at the top about having to swap discs when it clearly says in paragraph 2 that it's a data transfer disc, which was a sign you didn't read the press release or were incapable of reading it.

So you pay $60 to play half of the game if you're an arcade owner...?

I haven't defended the game at all. I'm merely correcting the misinformation that was being spread.

If you want my opinion of the situation then just ask me.

Well, he asked you and you didn't respond, and the tone you are using indicates you don't expressly consider this behavior to be inappropriate so...

I was quoting you, so obviously you're the one I'm responding to. I'm not in the mood for this fanboy this, fanboy that nonsense, especially considering I never stated an opinion on the matter in this thread. So if YOU want to know what I think on the matter, just ask politely and talk like an adult.
