Honestly, I haven't really had any friends that had a built motor for a prolonged period of time. They've either blown up (not related to forged pistons) or sold the vehicle. Am I worried about my pistons? Not really. The car is not a daily driver for me anymore and the shop that assembled the bottom end has a fairly decent reputation in engine build quality.Quote:

Cars actually look well modeled and the way they blend with the environment (reflections, lighting, weather, etc) can really be noticed while playing. I'm surprised that the 360 can handle the graphics. There's the little animations too like the Bugatti Veyron's wing going up as it hits a certain speed, so does the LFA, and the Ferrari's and even the wind brakes for the Mercedes Mclaren. There's sparks from under the cars now when you hit the ground, and damage is actually more noticable than just a scratch from 3. They added more cars too it too, way more cars and of course they'll be adding more with DLC. The track list hasn't changed much either, they just added or removed a few. Not sure if there's more or less, but definitely new tracks (Not to mention Top Gear).Quote:

The game modes and race modes are improved too. They added autocross and track days which I like. It's not just driving around a track like Forza 3 which got old quick. They have stuff to spice it up. They even have shared classes within one race now (ex. S class in-front then a F class at the back of the start line, then dodging F class cars). The races are more strict with car classes too. It really won't let you race a S class within a race with A class cars in it, it has to be spot on which is good because in 3, as long as you are higher than the minimum you can race it if it's not specified in the restrictions.
The autovista's kind of a "Meh". It's more of showing off what the graphics are with the game but hey it's still nice to look at. The head-tracking... I use it and what a brilliant idea. It's not like the kind of thing where you turn your head. It really does work, I have no idea how the kinect knows where you're looking. It's sensitive so you don't have to move your head as much so you still see the screen perfectly but it's not so irritating that the in-game camera moves around too much. I'll tell you that you don't really need it, but it's fun to have it on, looking through turns when sideways and looking at the rear mirrors or just playing around when you're not trying to turn.
The only disappointment, WHERE IN THE FUCK IS PORSCHE?!?!? It has RUF but where in the fuck are the normal Porsche?! DLC? or is there some sort of legitimate reason why Porsche isn't in the game??! Other than that, worth $60. Stop being such a cheapass, just buy the game, you'll love it, you'll play it longer than your usual game, and it's fun. You don't need the collector's edition, we're just hardasses like that.
Lol thanks ronel for that nice write up... I'll think about it...

Porsche is not in the game because EA has the exclusive rights to the brand and wont give it up for other game manufacturers.
BTW: that is the most comprehensive and well thought out post I have ever seen you post. REPS! Edit: sorry i have to spread it before i can give to you again. :(
You should make up a blog for game reviews or something.
Laurabeth's didn't complete until ~3am this morning.Quote:

I saw reports of the server being overloaded for validation and either it was taking an eternity or it would crash you were screwed. I opted just to wait until tomorrow when my phone arrives with iOS5 preinstalled.Quote:

I never received an error message. I had to update her iTunes to 10.5 in order to download the iOS5 software. I already had the .ipsw file on the iMac but left my thumbdrive at work. That would have made everything go by a lot faster.
My android updates in three minutes......just sayin'

I figured you're not the gaming type anyway, you'd probably play it then forget about it later.Quote:

I uploaded my Miata to the Newnan Krew club, it has like 400hp and is insanely hard to drive! It shoots flames though!

My Progress are gone.
Sad face for bye-bye to great coilovers, happy face for hello money I needed.
Three hour day at school today......yay.
I wish I only had a three hour school day. I have two, three hour classes and one hour and fifteen minute class. :(
Peppy isn't the word. Damn thing was about as quick as todays mustang GT's, STI's, EVO's and Camaro's. Zero to sixty in under 5 seconds (4.6 iirc) and the quarter mile in 13.4. Oh Jojo, I was right: they are awd!Quote:

Oddly enough, Dad's car and tommy's car are currently utilizing an electronic component from Syclones.

At chili's in PTC with dad... Remembered after we sat down that LB works here... Sorry...

Guess it helps when my class is only two days a week and usually 9-3 except Fridays where its only three hours.

My class is 9:30-3:15 on T/Th... And one class at 12 on Monday... Pretty good schedule... If I didn't have the class on Monday I'd have a 4 day weekend...

Y'all probably have core classes too though. I don't.
YesQuote:

It's alright, I was already gone by then. It was a slow day today. :(
I'll be back again at 5:30 though!
I have 2 art classes, an art history class and two random elective that are online classes. Graduating in December FTW!!!!
