So as someone who has never played a Forza game before, which series is the fun, arcadey one? Forza or Horizon?

Advertising a new console launch with old games?
But look, it's got Zelda, too!
Yep, what's the issue? It hasn't been released yet and people want it.
Zelda looked like it ran at about 12fps undocked so clearly the dock has some sort of processor/GPU built in.
Interesting concept but I need more info to make up my mind.

Let's fine them a 50 million, that will teach them!

And don't be a dumbass like me and buy the physical X1 version from Amazon with their 20% physical ONLY discount, because once you receive it you'll find out it doesn't support Microsoft's "Play Anywhere" feature.
Digital only kids!
Let's see, physical=disc mfg, packaging, promotional materials, stickers, delivery. Digital=a code. Yet digital is $59.99 & Physical is $47.99. Makes complete sense to me, really!
I was fully intending to play it on the PC@4k and let the kids play it on the X1, but nope.
Keep on being you, Microsoft.

Was a huge download so it took a while, plus the update then yesterday (380meg patch). One issue that they don't say is that if they patch the game, be prepared to have space on your drive since it makes a whole new copy of the game being patched in a different directory.
As if MS and their shitty store could have gotten any worse. The store and store apps won't even run if you've disabled either the Windows Firewall or Windows Update services (I have my own firewall, and I hate Windows deciding when it should update and reboot, so I do it manually). There's absolutely no reason why either of those should be mandatory.

Your neck will quickly tire of head tracking, I'll predict...which will destroy the immersion--such as it will be. It will be interesting to discover what the actual time of use will be before the urge to rip off the diving mask becomes overwhelming...;) thirty minutes? An hour?

"Also, I think if this project collapses on itself as some think, it will be a blow to PC gaming in general, space sims in particular, and could poison the waters for future large-scale projects on Kickstarter."

Also, as fun as schadenfreude is, it's no fun when you're the collateral damage.
I've got NO problem with the people who can afford it and want this add their main game and main hobby. Investing a few grand in your main hobby is honestly no big deal.
I have a buddy who brings in nearly $100K. I go to his house on weekends to watch football on his 100 inch DLP screen while reclining in one of the rows of plush leather recliners.
Him investing/donating a few grand so he can have nicer toys is no big deal. He'll be building a dedicated three-monitor setup as his cockpit. Etcetera, etcetera.
HIM buying this stuff us no big deal (as long as he keeps providing pizza and Sunday NFL Ticket,obviously). Anyone else falls under the "a fool and his money" umbrella.
I make a little over $100K and I don't have any of that stuff. Damn. How come your buddy is living so large? Wait. Does he have a wife who spends all his money on stupid shit?
