Euro Truck Simulator 2 worthy of purchase

[Viper²]

Of course it's not THAT realistic, there are no prostitutes to murder...

And I can't reverse park for my life, the truck always goes the opposite way to where you want it to go

Had a go on the trial tonight, killed a couple of hours. Surprisingly good Graphics are decent enough and i rather like what they've done with the routes so you don't actually have to spend 10 hours on the same motorway for 1 job

Would be great if i had a wheel i think.

Pre-ordered.

Not hot on the realism is it, since when did the M27 go to Dover

 

[Skillmister]

I'd rather the M27 go to dover than spend 3+ real time hours driving Manchester to Newcastle

Game is next to impossible with joystick, pad or keyboard. Get up to 50mph and hold the steering for half a second too long and you jack-knife lol. Quite good fun but I won't be buying it. Also, does it really take 8 gears just to get to 30mph

Downloading the demo now, Laughing so much and giddy.

This is pretty addictive, but I have found myself getting some terrible road rage. Cars keep over taking me and then slowing down, so I ram them off the road.

Why does it mean when it says 'Engine malfunction go to Service'?

if I pull into a services all I can do is fill up with fuel?

LOL.

MODS.

How long before someone makes a M25 mod.

Anyone know if such a thing is possible with separate assets for a specific road?

Services is just for refuelling. You need to find a garage (indicated on your map by a little green spanner) to do repairs (and customise your rig)

Are there any mods for this that give me realistic roads in the UK?

Use an xbox 360 pad and turn down/tweak the sensitivity of the steering in the truck also control the dead-zone of the pad,
But as far as the rest goes it is a good game for a sim. any other problems just ask

[SuperOwl86]

No, but to be fair, I imagine the developers have to be careful where they pool their resources as this traditionally is not the type of game to get AAA type sales.

I would love a live persistent world with proximity voip for CB talk etc, localised weather, being able to run your own breakdown company - lol.

Who knows, if this sells well, we can hope.
