How you manage to do that I don't know!

Forza would be chucked aside for a bit if I bought a new game.

Maybe for the same reason I won't even be buying Dirt until Forza's gone.

Its just too difficult swapping between the different driving styles imo. Its ok if you play a little bit of one then a little of the other but put a good few hours into Dirt and you'll be crashing like a good 'un when you go back to Forza.

I only buy them if I smell a good deal. After christmas I bought a load of games, opened the last of them just 3 weeks ago

No harm in leaving it til there is another drought in games. I dont wanna switch styles of driving. I want a wheel so will continue playing forza with the pad, then get the wheel out for Dirt. I dont wanna unlearn my style with forza.

I got dirt at a good price so it doesnt matter that it sits for months. I did the same with NBA2k7.

I always concentrate on one SP game at a time, otherwise I never finish them.

I can understand why. Just for me the temptation is too high.

This is probably the reason I don't finish many single player games. Think the only games I have followed through to the end on the 360 are COD2, TR Legend and GRAW2.

Would really like to finish Forza though and probably will as I don't think i'm getting another game till GTA4.

Mine came today as well, dunno if im gonna keep it though as im curretnly hooked on Forza and havent even got enough time to play that lol.

Although i might return it, get a refund then pick it up when it gets cheaper.

Stanners · 14 Jun 2007 at 12:49

There is one high street company sellling it for 29.99 untill tuesday

Edit: oops thats forza 2 not Dirt

Dutch Guy · 14 Jun 2007 at 13:10

Is the 30fps cap annoying or is it still smooth gameplay?

Stanners · 14 Jun 2007 at 13:16

Just checked and Dirt is there for 29.99.

That's a shame as the wheel adds so much more to the game. I could never go back to the pad but I suppose if you don't know what you're missing you never miss it.

yeah, i haven't played froza with the pad, and i think if i tried i will struggle and i would hate it.

I think for me its the other way round, quite used to the controller pad now and was thinking last night about getting the wheel but dunno if it will make me any better...perhaps it would with a bit of practice but not sure what to do.

Still got plenty of games to trade in so might hop down to that store and pick up the wheel....

Stanners · 14 Jun 2007 at 13:44

MichaelHo · 14 Jun 2007 at 13:46

I think that you will take a performance hit if you were 2 get a wheel, then you will improve. The main reason 2 get the wheel is for the more immersive experience - to feel the drift comming on!!!

On Day 9 of 2nd broken 360 in repairs with Forza game unopened at home
