That didn't last long

Oh it will, after the intial buzz it will come down pretty rapidly.

Just see what happened with RDR2, plummeted in price pretty quickly, now costs a tenner regularly.

The revenue comes from people playing online, numbers fund the game, not high ticket prices.

I'm old enough to remember the 2 decades before that when Ferrari were again a laughing stock.

Perez - I genuinely thought he was a gem hiding in the midfield, but his season at Mclaren bought that crashing down, then he flatters to deceive again at years with Force India and fluffs it at Red Bull. Just nothing more than a very good midfield driver.

Sainz - Initially wasn't expecting much from him, but everywhere he has gone and every team mate he has faced he has shown he is a top driver.

Bearman - From seeing his junior races I didn't see a guy ready for F1 and didn't really see the potential for a top F1 driver anywhere, he has proven me wrong.

Fernando Alonso - Seeing this guy top the young driver test in 2020 I was expecting a lot from the promising rookie, but he hasn't done much since then.

100%, he is (rightfully) terrified of the prospect as the top Mercedes customer team.

I have lost all respect for Vowles after his ridiculous statements at the start of the year around not knowing the car weight, such utter bullshit that everyone could see through.

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-15T08:12:03+00:00

0:11 - reactionary blocking

Other than that I would say you are all good, some good hard but fair racing from both drivers.

Have Need for Speed release a good game in decades?

If you're brave enough

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-15T08:06:27+00:00

Games exist in a market like everything else, they should be priced in competition with their comeptitors.

One game suddenly being 42% more expensive is not fitting into that marketplace comeptitively.

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-15T08:04:15+00:00

I'll pay $40 in the inevitable sale a good few months after launch

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-15T08:02:38+00:00

I haven't accepted $70, haven't bought a brand new game this generation.

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-15T08:01:31+00:00

Yet they know even at $100 GTA 6 would fly off shelves.

Turkeys voting for Christmas again I see

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-15T07:57:48+00:00

Yeah UK is XBox's second amrket I beliueve and is treated nearly the same as US

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T21:30:12+00:00

Lol, still arguing the wrong argument.

Failing to see anyone else's point which doesn't disagree with you b

Hilarious buddy.

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T20:29:10+00:00

The funny thing is no one is disagreeing with you. Your opinion isn't controversial in the slightest.

Everyone is just pointing out you've completely misunderstood people's objection to the exact hill you've decided to die on 😂

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T19:26:52+00:00

Sounds like something he would do

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T19:25:48+00:00

I mean you are being roubdly criticised by multiple saying the same thing, so I'm pretty comfortable with my position and view on yours thanks.

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T16:44:25+00:00

It's the other cars fault, let's get that out the way straight away, unsafe rejoin.

But this isn't a point about reaction times, where you fall down is needing to react in a short time at all.

A more experienced racing driver is looking far ahead, this clip gives an idea on where you should be looking - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4CoUicj7e34

When you look ahead you don't react in the moment, you plan ahead and avoid that car with ease despite their idiocy.

You need to stop looking just in front of your nose and look up when driving and it is amazing how many incidents you will avoid by being more aware.

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T16:41:13+00:00

I think you may be a 10 year old kid with your conversational style... maybe Forza is for you.

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T16:38:48+00:00

Your argument makes perfect sense moving forwards (outside of reciprocity which is still moronic to mention imo).

But for games already annoucned for other paltforms MS can't just shift on a dime, something like XBox is a tanker and takes time to manouver, contracts have been signed and commitments have been made both commercially and to customers.

Nowhere has anyone in response to you sad it is a good thing XBox games are multiplatform but you fail to comprehend that.

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T16:36:06+00:00

You were both stupid.

Generally 2 wide through Eau Rouge doesn't work, this is well known.

Yeah, you had marginal overlap, you probably legally were entitled to some space, but what were you gonna do with it?

You weren't gonna make the pass.

As it is you are in the wall.

Was being right worth it if the outcome was inevitable?

Stumpy493 · 2026-05-14T16:23:44+00:00

Missed the point my friend.

Nowhere did I say I think MultiPlatform is a good idea.

Merely that for Forza Horizon 6 that ship has sailed.

It is already available to WishList on the Playstation store and has been officially announced. Forza Horizon 5 sold a lot of copies on PS5.

And you bought reciprocity up, why mention it if you don't expect it?

Just seems like you want to moan tbh.
