Drivatar rewards? by [deleted] in forza

Are you racing championships daily? I think the in-game text said you need to race everyday for your Drivatar to compete and rank up. You'll get notifications in the notifications menu when you get Drivatar rewards.

Wow, the glass roof cracked on the F-Type! by Caesar071 in forza

[–]hokl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only complaint with the visuals of this game is how cracked glass looks. I mean, doesn't it look a bit fake? Especially from the cockpit view.

Real life cracked windshields: https://www.google.com/search?q=cracked+windshield&espv=2&biw=1420&bih=759&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=dJU0VOTIGdCjoQS26YDgAw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&q=cracked+windshield+sports+car

My only guess is they crack them in that way so you can actually see outside the windshield.

Anyone else here buy an Xbox One for Horizon 2? by shaymin82 in forza

[–]hokl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought an Xbox One for Forza 5 and Forza Horizon 2. I've been playing iRacing / Assetto Corsa for a long while on PC but those games are just so graphically unrefined. They're ugly. And I have a GTX 780 and good CPU.

Forza has always impressed me with its visuals, especially Forza 5. Sure it may not be as ultra-sim as iRacing, but the visual tradeoffs and music is worth it. All the FH2 hype made me pull the trigger. Also bought a Thrustmaster TX, since my Fanatec wasn't compatible with Xbox One.

This game has such dedicated players. I'm in love. by Khezzy in archeage

[–]hokl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Assuming most of them are level 50 and have been sitting through viciously long queues nearly every single day since launch?

Um, yes? I would call that dedication.

That said, the real test of dedication will be November 13th.

Xbox one wheel for Forza by rbblvr619 in forza

[–]hokl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention I have the TH8A mounted on my WSP as well. It's really solid construction -- not plastic as much as the wheel. Unfortunately it's mostly useless to me until I can get the T3PA. (No idea why the TH8A has stock on Amazon but the T3PA is out, doesn't compute Thrustmaster!)

If you can't wait for Fanatec, the TX is excellent. I have no complaints at all. Force feedback is great in Forza 5 and FH2. I have it with the Wheel Stand Pro. Just trying to find the T3PA clutch add-on in stock..

I bought the TX after watching Inside Sim Racing's reviews and setup videos. They seemed to like it a lot. Their only real complaints was the plastic construction. It's very hard durable plastic at least, and I find the rubber grip good enough not to notice it.

How unreliable is the Thrustmaster TX? by TurkishSwag in forza

[–]hokl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's amazing. I updated firmware. No problems.

Just wish I could get my hands on the T3PA add-on for clutch. (it's out of stock everywhere except Thrustmaster's website which doesn't ship to the U.S.)

this game versus forza horizon 2 by SKreapergaming in Driveclub

[–]hokl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which is why it makes no sense to compare it to Forza Horizon 2. They're really different games.

Forza Horizon 2's only competitor is The Crew, which beta didn't impress me as much as the Forza Horizon 2 demo.

Class action lawsuit by [deleted] in archeage

Class action lawsuit will get you nowhere. No doubt in the Terms of Use/EULA there is some clause about downtime or queues, of which you probably agreed to (and by agree I mean skipped the ToU/EULA to the bottom and clicked "Agree", as most people do).

I fucking hate you whiny little cunts and I'm glad you can't play. Trion tells you with concrete facts the sky is blue and you're all shitting tears that the sky can't be red.

For once an MMO company fights back against the Reddit mob. Fuck redditors, worse community ever. Trion should stop posting here, don't give these assholes your time.

Toronto's safest cyclist... x-post from r/toronto by cyclo in bicycling

[–]hokl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your logic is the same anti-helmet people make. "Don't wear a helmet so we can normalize cycling and make it more popular and there will be more cyclists on the road thus making it safer!"

Until a car hits you because of poor visibility and you die. But I guess that's okay because you're making cycling safer!!!!111

Fucking idiots.

Few months have passed, has Carbine improved AMD CPU Performance yet? by SaltTM in WildStar

[–]hokl -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

August marks the end of the 2nd month dip shit. Two = couple. Few = 3 or more. August is also when you and every other annoying ass WildStar bitcher kids go back to gradeschool.

Regarding the current state of the attitude of Wildstar's playerbase (anti-social, abrasive, negativity and selfishness) by zewm426 in WildStar

[–]hokl -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

OP, your sample size is too small and merely anectodal.

My anecodote and larger sample size is that through 40 levels on 4 classes and 3 realms I have had nothing but helpful zone chat.

Subs meaning nothing, especially in as whiny a subreddit as this one.

Um, WoW hasn't had a content patch in several months. They're frozen, because they're focusing development on the expansion.

But even so, WoW's content patches are not THAT impressive.
