Date: May 15th, 2025 4:36 PM Author: Metal out-of-control chad abode The core game is $20, then you have to buy these regional "packs" and individual "states" to go anywhere. It's probably cheaper to drive a IRL truck across America. Fuck this game. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5725512&forum_id=2#48934452) |

Date: May 15th, 2025 4:39 PM Author: Irradiated walnut alpha house I would highly recommend ATS. Mainly because I believe the community is smaller and it’s easier to make friends and find decent VTC’s. Sadly not as much mods or customization as ETS but it’s getting there day by day |
|
Date: May 15th, 2025 4:40 PM Author: Metal out-of-control chad abode My whole reason for exploring this is because I have the option of creating custom game servers on my server. I'm looking for an online of community of gamers who want a truly unique and wild experience, and this game seemed perfect.
But I figured I should at least learn how to play it before hosting the server. Now I'm having second thoughts about this platform. |

Date: May 15th, 2025 11:36 PM Author: Metal out-of-control chad abode I got the Euro Truck Simulator years ago when Steam was having those $0.99 sales. I never played it until today though.
First, the graphics are not good. I had everything maxed out and it still looked like a 30 year-old game.
As far as the actual game, it uses a ton of time compression so that your "3 hour" drive only takes about 30 minutes. So even if the maps are based on real places, they are compressed so that you don't have long stretches of nothing. I thought it would be 1:1 scale but this is bullshit. I would never play it. |

|
Date: May 16th, 2025 3:09 PM Author: Irradiated walnut alpha house part of the appeal of the game is that there is time dilation. 1 irl hour = 3 in game minutes. this means you can complete many more jobs than a irl trucker possibly could, hence why it's a game that could potentially be fun. you get to make more decisions about what jobs you take (i think?) and challenges come more rapidly.
