Just wait until The Crew comes out next month and it will blow FH2 out of the water. Maybe even.

 

It looks OK but Ubisoft titles tend to be too arcadey, like Watch Dogs and Driver games. Forza Horizon is more Sim than arcade, but less sim than Forza Motorsport :P

That I doubt, I don't even see the point in paying for another driving game this side of new years at this point even if it somehow managed to be slightly better.  but I don't see that game beating forza sim engine, car detail and driving experience anyway.

I signed up for the crew beta awhile ago, but I still didn't receive a code. many people who played the beta though said its not very good so we'll see. it now got delayed till December. its going to be pretty hard to top the forza engine. its just so good. I loaded up nfs the other day just to do a comparison, and it felt stiff as hell.

Whilst I was too looking forward to the crew, it's going to have a hard time topping Forza. Still waiting for beta to arrive to change my mind, but with recent opinion pieces I'm not holding my breath.

Does anyone know what happens if you just show up at a barn?  Can you find it that way or does it have to be "unlocked" in order to give you the car?

 

You will be notified with a popup message about barn find so you will find it yourself... and the next find will do the same step like the first time you were notified.

I'm not so convinced by that. Too much focus on a stupid Fast & The Furious type subplot rather than concentrating on the gameplay itself is my concern. I played the beta and wasn't too enthused to keep playing it.

Dare I say it, but I really, really wish that this game would stop "giving" me cars. Either through DLC that is 0$ or through the spinner.

I LOVE FH2 but I enjoy just earning the cash and carefully picking the ride I want/need for a specific race.

 

However, I think it's notable that this is the ONLY thing I personally have to complain about.

This game is mint.

If you don't want those cars, then you can go to the garage and remove them. FYI, If you remove them and you decide to get them back, you pay for them.

I've already gotten 4, I was just wondering if it needed to be unlocked by the popup or if the popup was just a hint as to where they may be but you could also just stumble across them if you were lucky.

the popup was a hint and you have to find the barn find yourself...  and the barn will unlock for you as soon as you get closer to the barn. That's how it works.

 Well, (ahem), I still want them.  .... just say'in.  ;-)

    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
    • I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
