In 1080p? I've been thinking about buying this on the PC but hasn't yet dropped below the magical £10.Photek wrote:Quantum Break looks strawberry floating insane.

Any advice would be super handy.

I opened a few I got for free and get the basic concept that you get cards that you can play to get better rewards but is it better to spend the credits I have on loot crates or plough it into more cars? Which gives better value?

I haven’t played 7 myself (I have a disc copy if anyone reading this wants to buy it )
I imagine buying the cars is best? From what I’ve read the crates have clothes in, and gambling is generally a losers game so you’d be better using your credits on cars than gambling for them on the off chance that you win one (are they even in crates?) and it’s a car you actually wanted in the first place

That's the way I see it as well. I've only done the first cup in a Mini and won all the races without using any bonuses and leveled up twice (chose a new car both times) so now have 3 cars. I do like that the AI cars are people on your friends list (this is obviously old news to most here) even if the last time I added someone was about 6 years ago .

My one the casing isn’t clipped together properly and is sharp where the plastic parts don’t meet correctly. Also the trigger seems to be impinging on it
I don’t really want to get the entire console swapped for just a controller but I also don’t want to send off just this controller to get a regular one back that might not be as good as the bundled one I have that’s broken
My experience of Xbox One controllers has been horrible. The exact problem you're describing was there on a pad I bought recently (a white Xbox One controller). That was a replacement to my actual controller which broke within a year (the right analogue went increasingly squeaky then just... broke) and THAT had been a replacement to the pad I got with my console, which wouldn't accept my official headset because the input part was too high.
AFAIK the Xbox One X pad is a regular, reskinned model.
BID0 wrote:That friends list drivers thing is pretty hollow. At least in my experience. It just seems to be regular AI but they’ll pluck names from your friends list, your forza car club, or randoms. It doesn’t seem to affect the actual AI driver outside of that.
What’s your gamer tag? I’ll add you.
Also forzas have car clubs and there’s always been a GRcade one. If someone hasn’t made one already then you should get on that! You can add cars to a shared garage so you can share yours and borrow others.

Yep, apparently it needs a beefy PC to run well but it had a very low resolution on Xbox One and that’s now gone. Seriously looks incredible.
Best looking games on my X1X are now:
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Quantum Break
Assassins Creed Origins
Elite Dangerous
Gears of War 4
Halo 5
Final Fantasy 15
I’ve yet to try Diablo but Ghost Recon, Elder scrolls online while being crisp don’t offer much more although I haven’t played them a lot.
While not out yet I reckon Sea of Thieves will be the best looking game on X1 when it launches, it’s just gorgeous.
Titanfall 2 got patched to iron out resolution bug and performance so I’ll try it tonight.

Wouldn't say I have a beefy PC, probably lower side of middle-tier but can run Quantum Break on full settings fine.
