This worth it? Don't usually buy dlc

Yes it is.

It is great fun, chucking cars around on the snow. The map is a respectable size. I much prefered Storm Island, BUT that's probably because FH2 didn't have many dirt track roads....where as FH3 has....lots. Just a thought

Looks like it could be a ton of fun!
Damn, what a brilliant idea! Just when I thought they'd feed us yet another boring Porsche expansion, they manage to completely surprise me
I'm glad I grabbed the discounted expansion pass.

As someone who loved and played the **** off Horizon 1 on the 360 and who has just upgraded to a W10 and a 1700/1080 - would you all recommend it?
I'm toying with it, as apart from Rocket League i've not really got many racing games in my library, let alone anything like Horizon. Which edition provides the best value? I've got no problem getting the expansions as I will definitely play it a lot.

If you're looking for an open-world arcade-ish racer with lots of cars and content, then absolutely. The optimisation isn't brilliant but your rig should power through all the problems. I'm on a 1070 and it drops into 40s only on the main street in the city and occasionally during heavier races.
The map could've been a bit better but it is what it is. It certainly looks pretty.
As for the editions, it depends on whether you want VIP and all the car packs from the last six months. I went for the Ultimate a couple of days after release because I found a nice deal and sold two spare Steam keys I had. I also grabbed the expansion pass at a discount a couple of months later. I still think the prices are ridiculous as the Ultimate doesn't get you everything.
Personally, I'd get the base game (or the Deluxe if you want VIP and a handful of exclusive cars) and buy the cars you want separately, then grab the expansion pass when it's discounted (it has solid content, Blizzard Mountain was very nice and I don't think Hot Wheels will disappoint).
Only get the Ultimate if you're sure you want all the cars and VIP status as it will be cheaper than buying everything separately.

Theres a demo on windows store, grab it & see if you like it.
On the hot wheels expansion - seems like a direct copy of gtav's stunt racing which was included free on gtav.

Just looking at some comparisons, perhaps I'm expecting too much?
FH3 on the rig in my sig, on ultra settings at 1440P - on the gsync dell I'm getting about 90~100FPS - In the settings I have a locked res at 144 but the hardware (Or the settings I'm using) can't achieve it. At the moment, the TX and the 7700K are at stock.
Does that seem reasonable or should I be expecting more?

That's about what you can expect and you'll likely find some fps drops from those levels when around the city areas (Surfer's Paradise). If check Afterburner while playing, you'll likely see the game is pretty CPU-bound most of the time (and that remains true on an 8-core also). However, tomorrow's patch claims to be "improving CPU utilisation" so we'll see if that lets our graphics cards stretch their legs a bit.
Fantastic game, though.

Thank you for for the reply, appreciated

Sounds like a nice update, is it live yet?

I've just checked and you have to find Hot Wheels manually in the store and click install, it's downloading now.
