It's all there in the "about me" tab on my account page.

I'm locked out completely. The game is non-functional on my end and I damn near shut everything down except for explorer.exe and MOM.exe (ATI Catalyst Control Center) with no luck. Drivers are up to date. Fraps has been shut the entire time (conflicts with uPlay overlay). Computer has been restarted several times and game files verified multiple times too.

Hold up a sec, so this junk conflicting with JOYSTICK DRIVERS is what is causing crashing on boot up?!

Cool I actually won a competition I participated in and wanted to win for a change :P This is gonna be mad. Thanks for the code guys!

Well hey will you look at that. My build JUST peaks the recommended system requirements. Bring on beta I say.

I'd like a key because DICE.

Damn you Elder Scrolls fans.

This highlights a point that I would like to make. There are two kinds of Downloadable Content: Paid and Free. GTA V, Payday 2 and a few other games I'm sure have adopted a full or partial free DLC policy which in my book is perfectly fine so long as I don't have to utilize my bandwidth to download the remainder of a game which I bought from retail under the impression that it was COMPLETE. Most (lets us be honest here, it's pretty much all) titles adopt the paid DLC route because apparently publishers feel that everything including the game disc itself is not actually owned by us and we deserve to continuously shell out cash to feed their dirty spending habit because "it's OK" according to the average six year old child who is in unlawful possession of their parents' credit card. Paid DLC can be OK if I'm not paying upwards of ten sterling for four poorly designed maps and a weapon skin(you know what I'm referring to), which are content that could have been in the game on release. Free DLC DOES exist and in my opinion should be a mandatory policy on all digital distribution platforms because it forces publishers to stop making their devs cut content to up their profit margin.

My thoughts exactly. Not sure if GT5 photo mode :mhmm:

A glimpse of the Nissan 370Z from It seems that if you want to make your hood a pedestrian safety hazard then you can. My money is on that version of the Z car being a performance spec model judging from current bodykit conventions.

Put me down for PC. I'm anticipating this title will go down well and if it meets my expectations it'll likely be the only game I play for a while after release. I have grown disinterested with the regurgitated crud the FPS genre seems to be attracting as of late.

My money is on LP570. Even a street tuned LP560 wouldn't be that understated. I say that term loosely, for you can only be so understated in a Lamborghini.

Someone is going to Google that. Someone.

You could probably stretch and call it a Superleggera; note the wing. Now if I were to put a wing on a Lambo, I'd probably put a splitter on the front too and I wouldn't be using a factory wing. Just my take. EDIT: New image for the Dirt spec R34 is up on the webpage for The Crew if anyone wants to check it out. Not a front shot but still, a different angle. Appears to have a Raid/Dakar style wraparound bullbar which was in the last shot but more obvious here.

Nope. No confirmation E-Mail yet.

R* abandoning PC players isn't that far fetched when you look at it. All the other major publishers are doing it and still thrive. Why "waste time" developing a version of the same game for another platform when you can just dev for two platforms with standardized hardware and cover up even more mistakes saving more time and money. It's a numbers game dude, and PC loses out. Why? Because we expect more.

I must be the only person who isn't excited here. I still remember GTA IV. Also, they really shouldn't have strung the consumers along like that. Business or otherwise it's just impolite.

I'd have to get DICE to nerf my internet connection in order to get high ping, it's just 3 stronk 5 them

I'm aware of this, I did read up a little before passing judgement. Most EU server providers are claiming that they have the new improvements enabled, or that the provider has given the server owner the option of enabling said improvements. I even went as far as finding a server from a specific provider that claimed to have the improvements enabled. I still play better on BF 3.

No significant difference on my end. Still shot around corners, insta-gibbed etc. with startling frequency. Hate to be a negative Nancy but the patch did nothing for me on PC.

Arguably not. The overall quality of the product suffered due to the quantity (or lack thereof) of features. The Need for Speed series is meant to be crazy and outlandish; and ripping around the desert in cars post the £250,000 mark is crazy, but not enough. Widebody F40 anyone?
