    So this game released today, and steam has all positive reviews so far. I played tons of GRID autosport so im really excited to get this. Anyone planning on getting it? The graphics alone are worth it!

    I would like to eventually. I have a ferrari 458 wheel, I play Asseto Corsa and I just got a big upgrade for Dirt3. Come to think of it I also want the new Dirt Rally. I'm currently sucked into Elite Dangerous and GTAV.

    It looks amazing, but idk if I can justify the current price... I spent 60 on gta v so idk if I can pay 50 for another game.

    Yeah I know, I don't love using greymarket resellers though.

    $39 on Greenmangaming.com using their coupon code. Fun game, runs smooth and looks great. Hoping to find some time to invest in it in the next few weeks.

    I'm having a weird full screen glitch on my external monitor that causes flickering, but when I go windowed it is fine though. Not sure what is going on.

    Otherwise, game performs great. Using a gamepad is a bit touchy, but I don't have the space to dedicate to a wheel. Adjusting the controller settings helps a good bit, there are a few guides out there with tips.

    Yeah I'm also using external monitor... And I'm having flickering too. The weird part is that when I set the resolution to 1680x1050 the flickering goes away... It just happens on 1080p. It seems to be a frequency issue by the symptoms, although the frequency is properly set (59Hz in my case).

    Little video I did. I use a 360 controller and it works brilliantly. It's a very challenging game though, regardless of input device.
    This game is so good it makes me really want to get a proper racing seat, wheel, pedal setup... Ahh in due time..

    I like this game too and it plays really well on my notebook aside from the terrible fps drops when it rains.Hope they patch that
