    you unlock each new level at a minute on the previous one, right?

    game's literally gonna kill me

    This can be the alt news thread if people want. My primary goal was to troll inform people about the glorious new port coming their way. When I'm a bit more awake I'll rewrite the OP and header.

    I don't think we're allowed to have a general "video games" thread?

    The Giant Bomb thread just veers towards that because those dudes talk about a LOT of different games.

    What about a non-mainstream games thread then? Maybe discussions of games that people like that fly under the radar. There's probably a related thread somewhere but the forum search bar is hopelessly broken.

    Supposedly that one European Trucking simulation is actually really good

    Hexagon: 64.55
    Hexagoner: 53.46
    Hexagonest: 14.47
    Hyper Hexagon: 19.10

    the last two are just luck, how do people even do that

    I find it helpful to start at the highest difficulty I've unlocked, play a few rounds, then step it down a bit until I get to the level I want to play, at which point it will feel slow by comparison

    Just don't expect vast, sprawling cities or or an accurate portrayal of European landscapes.

    You mean they didn't just lay a texture grid over Google Streetview data like fondant over cake? Fuck that.

    Cities consist of a few buildings and warehouses and one reviewer stated that Britain looks nothing like, well, Britain. Apparently the landscapes get more generic the further you move from Central Europe.

    Why are the train simulators so popular? And there is so much DLC!

  • FyndirFyndir Registered User regular
    One day I will buy all of it just so I have it.

    Might never install it.

    Just sit and look at it in my Steam library and go "Yup, that sure is a train simulator."

  • PlatyPlaty Registered User regular
    There's some kind of unadulterated beauty to games like Farming Simulator, Train Simulator or Truck Simulator. I bought Train Simulator 2013 a while ago during a sale but I still have to install it. Thought that it might indeed be nice not to have to kill something once in a while.

    It's a lot easier to to tell your partner "I'm going to spend 150$ on a train game" than "I think we need to clean out the second bedroom, I just spent 5 grand on ebay and a guy with a pickup truck is coming by with shitload of plywood and modeling foam. I'm into trains now. I'm going to put on overalls and a conductor cap and you have to promise not to laugh at me."

    Building model railways is already a quite widespread hobby, at least over here in Europe. One guy I know dug out another room in his cellar so he could build a model railway there.

    I would only play a farming simulator if I could accidentally rip the arms off of one of my children with a thresher.

    a popular games journalism website known for mixing game news with humor and also being more transparent and having more integrity than most other video game websites, started by Jeff Gerstmann after he was fired from Gamespot for giving a negative review to a game that was being advertised on the site

    i wonder if my sim gear would be overkill for the euro truck game

    will aftermarket cables and brake springs increase my hauling efficiency???
