Didn’t buy the premium edition or add-ons as the standard game is more than enough for me but travelling for work for a week and can’t wait that long

 

[Nikana]

I moved to New Zealand instead. Figured I'd make the commitment and pay the taxes if I'm gonna keep claiming to be a citizen.

Only an idiot wouldn't exploit this.

I totally forgot this was a thing and never expected to play today but then I woke up to see posts about new zealand and i was like "oh duh, i can play NOW"

Loving it aside from the terribly aggressive LOD in performance mode and quality mode has too much blur.

 

[LeftThumbstick]

I too moved to NZ.

The people who monitor XBL must have a right laugh seeing the population of NZ massively increase over night.

"I have the patience of a monk"
Not really, I just very VERY rarely can play during week days, so even if I exploited it I would hardly be able to play for more than 10 minutes!

 

[Kilau]

Normally I wouldn’t but I was going to be busy most of Friday so getting to play on Thursday was great. I love New Zealand anyway.

 

[SEGA_2012]

No. I would love to travel someday to New Zealand, but not this way and not because of this.
I want to buy a Series X before i play FH5.

Didn’t even know it was a thing until a few days ago.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Im not a 5 year old I can patiently wait to play my games.

 

[Woffls]

guys i just moved to NZ with my PC. do i just need to change my Windows clock for the Windows Store to acknowledge that i am, in fact, in NZ?

 

[Pejo]

 

[Jennings]

Nah, just playing Forza Horizon 4 instead during the wait.

 

[Phase]

I had to take the small yacht because my brother took the big one. Sucked, but I was able to stay calm long enough to get there with only a few lobsters a day.

Game was okay.

 

[elliot5]

I did this morning to go through the intro and a few missions. Great stuff

 

[Captain Toad]

It's silly that games don't all just unlock at the same global time anyway

 

[IndividualTP]

I decided to wait for official unlock time, three hours to go

 

[Esppiral]

Bit it does not work with the standard game pass version T_T

 

[M1chl]

It's silly that games don't all just unlock at the same global time anyway

At least it's easy on Xbox, but yeah it's stupid to do different time launch. Especially in situation, when it's unlocking at 00:00 in work day. Those people there, probably not going to have time to play, but people with 12+ hours less, is going to have an evening, where it made sense.

 

[AJUMP23]

I don't know what this exploit is, but my schedule really won't allow me to play until the normal US unlock time.

 

[Windle Poons]

Bought the premium - but then didn’t have time to play it

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Ello Mate...idk if they say that in new zeland.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

Too much FH5 positivity in here.

You guys need to go suck on some more dildos.

Seriously! I can play at work occasionally on my Switch, but rarely play during the week except when I play with the kids. That being said, I have a few hours off on Wednesday so that will be my time to fire it up!

 

[JustJavi]

I live in New Zealand, didn't have to travel at all

 

[K' Dash]

I did.

Had an extra long weekend and wanted to start playing FH5 ASAP.

 

[The_Mike]

Why is it possible to have multiple choices?

"of course no, I have the patience of a monk"

 

[GulfCoastZilla]

I wasn’t paying for early access as COD was keeping me more than busy enough. But def booked my flight to NZ this morning.

 

[fatmarco]

I already live there hahaha.

It was really fun having that initial feeling of camaraderie where people were all trying to get the same early but hard to reach bonus boards, and finding groups of people all in Supra Mk4's. I hope that feeling continues.
