Poll of the Day > Has anyone ever played one of those Trucking simulator games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like, are they fun? Do you actually have to just drive down the road for hours between destinations?

The graphics are shit, but yeah it's a simulator. Miles go by like seconds I think. I played one while I was getting my CDL in 2008.

Your computer's shit.

The main fun comes from trying to get away with traffic violations and getting your load on 2 wheels without destroying your cargo.

Boo! Would be better if you literally had to sit at your computer for 8 hours.

Fun game. I have euro trucker and American truck simulator. I prefer American because of the trucks you can drive.

Lots of free mods for both to change truck skins, trailer skins, engine sounds, rims, paint, even different engine HP/Torque tunes based on the real engine power outputs.

American trucker has California, Arizona and New Mexico. I believe they are working on a new state, not sure which. I am thinking Texas, but just an assumption.

On American trucker if you play online, your truck wiil have a governor on it (65 mph) so the long hauls (1,000+ miles) can take a few minutes to arrive at the destination. Offline you can speed everywhere ( I do 90mph on the highways). You do get tickets (speeding, red lights, stop signs) but they can be disabled. Trailer parking is fun and challenging for certain deliveries.

I enjoy the SIM aspect. I have a full set up (wheel, shifter, range splitter, three pedals) really makes you feel like your driving it.

I always thought that given those types of fans those sims have melding them with a waifu simulator would be a goldmine.

Traveling the highways with your waifu. Stopping are diners, and having pleasant conversation with them.

The melding of German and Japanese.

Wow, you gonna start a fight about a trucking game? And no my computer isn't shit. It's the best every time I build one. That was my first profession out of school.

Wow, lay off the fucking hate dude.
Always you and your angry atheist shit.

Why do I even try with you people. You're so bitter all the time.

What do you mean "you people?"

See that's what's sick about you guys. You're literally more interested in arguing with someone and being bullys than participating in Mead's topic.

Anyway, I'm out. Have fun.

And now it's time to have fun.

My local Media Markt has like 2-3 meters of shelfs only for this type of games.

Do you get to cheat on your wife with a trucker and get her pregnant and get engaged to her?

I played a bit of European, it's pretty fun. I just need a visual update before I can really sink my teeth in.

Yes

Yes

I have about 65 hours in Euro Truck Simulator 2, and it's really really hard to explain the appeal of these games to outsiders - they sound terrible on paper.

lol!!!!

This is pretty accurate in messaging for my dad. His parents are Prussian and if he's basically a workaholic in the sense that he never stops doing something, work or recreation, and somehow considers himself really lazy. The ghost of Bismarck probably hangs out at his house, weeping tears of joy.
