Skyrim taught me that if you wanna lose weight you just eat a couple wheels of cheese

Farming simulator showed me that i’d never survive as a farmer.
Really?
😂
Especially with all of those wacky glitches going on around.
a lot of farmers make a lot of money tho lol.
MMM...FOOD
Dirt Rally 2.0 saved my life. I had been playing it regularly on my steering wheel and pedals setup for a few months after it came out. I was driving on the freeway and went around a blind turn where a car had broken down in my lane. I slammed on the brakes and changed lanes into the next lane, but at that point I had started to lose control and slide sideways. I used my learned muscle memory from the game to let off the brake, got my truck straight, and accelerated out of the slide all within the course of a few seconds. Had I kept my foot on the brake, I probably would have slid into the second lane over where a semi-truck would have t-boned me.
Dang
*Eurobeat intensifies*
Glad nothing happened to you
That's amazing, and I definitely believe it. (Just to note I also recently read a news post with a very similar story.) Through my time playing with a force feedback wheel in Assetto Corsa, ETS2, and Dirt Rally 1 I've definitely learned or picked up things that would be essential in dangerous situations. That feeling of losing traction is never evident in Real life since you're probably not going at high enough speeds, turning fast enough, in general not risking anything that much. But in racing games especially ones that are quite intensive like the Dirt rally series you really get to grips with how a car operates and how it reacts to each and every thing you do. I think my time drifting in Assetto Corsa is definitely going to translate well into real life once I drive a car for myself. That feeling of losing traction and how you handle that is definitely something you get from simulator games that you will get an advantage from in real life.
Its true, i was in the truck with him.
The best thing about these simulation games is that they are made by very motivated teams. You can see so much attention to detail. I don't think people make them to grab money, they make these games to share their passion.
Which is what gaming is starting to lose, a lot of games that started out fresh and got a huge following are turning into huge money spinners, assassin's Creed comes to mind. Really starting to shit me, i just want to pay once for a game.
@@poligrant5152 yeah, just when we buy a game then extra content comes out and we have to pay again, sometimes if I knew I would of had to pay multiple times to complete the games full experience I maybe would of chosen not to buy the game in the first place. I haven't played Valhalla since I finished the normal first story, also Ghost of tshushima comes to mind that has a DLC also which I did pay for but haven't played since I did. I would just like to pay for the games content once and if they bring out or update the content maybe that should be included in the original sale price. I guess I am a bit behind the times I am only just getting back into gaming and I find it a little inconvenient to pay multiple times for one product.
Sports games where the sports association is in the title. Association = uninspired cash grab.
Doubly so if the title is just "(association) (year)" . These are essentially just minor DLCs sold at full price.
Drug dealing simulator has helped me out a lot
xD
Essential worker.
Hol up
Omg i just found out it's comming out on the ps4 soon always wanted to play it ...something tells me if i liked scarface the world is yours i'm gonna love this game 🤗
Noice
I don't like car games and I'm not interested in cars in my every day life, but for some reason I'm super drawn to Snow Runner. Thanks for introducing it to me.
Buy it, and beam ng too, these games are simply amazing for any kind of gamer out there
If you got xbox Microsoft ill play with you mam
Man*
SnowRunner and FS19 have been my saving grace during quarantine. I just pop on an audiobook or my favorite podcast, Astonishing Legends, and lose track of time. It's borderline therapeutic.
@@MMD-mi5vx you are wrong in my opinion those games are FUCKING boring
As a snowrunner player I can say it is actually deceptively addicting and relaxing
Bruh that is far from relaxing and addicting, like i've tried to play it, graphics look amazing indeed but as the gameplay you "crawl" through mud and snow like a dying turtle and getting stuck and pulling yourself out with a hintch every 10 seconds gets boring af...
@@tricck8352 I agree man they couldn't even be bothered to license any pickup truck manufacturer's
J=nbnb7
@@tricck8352 exactly! I keep getting stuck in the mud, I quit.
I realy need a "how to get money without enslaving myself for a company I hate, but pays well" simulator. Preferably with the "I have no unique skillset, that makes me marketable for a living wage as a freelancer in the European job market" - DLC
I'll have the prequel, called "I live in the third world so there are no good jobs at all and I am constantly afraid of end up living in a slum, like my family did when I was a kid".
Brah!
LMAO
@@j.l.6511 currently playing the same game man!.
Well your probably just lazy....
One of my friends actually used flight simulator for years, eventually joined the air force at age 18 and became a pilot kinda crazy how much he already knew just from the simulator
I started out really young flying on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000, I am now an Airline Pilot, I will say going through flight school and using FSX to get virtual flight time to practise what I learned that day really helped me out. The fact I already had an understanding of complex systems in the aircraft thanks to the simulators gave me a big advantage.
That’s awesome good job to you!! And yeah it’s crazy how in depth the simulators are
That's really cool!
Lol
hahahaha nice
Weird that goat simulator wasn't on here. It has thought me so much about being a goat, like mind blowing.
Agreed - people need to know what goats are really like! How they swim, and climb ladders.... Goats in the wild swimming in the open ocean? So graceful -
I also learned how to be greatest of all time
U mean.. how to be.. the G.O.A.T??
@@arifhaikal4027 exactly😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣...stop it!...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Surgeon simulator helped me be a doctor and now I have a revoked license and a sentence.
Hey atleast u can perform surgeries in jail for money now
Shit, Marine Corps Liberty gave me alcoholism, a jail record, 2 divorces and 7 STDs.
Gang Simulator taught me to do drivebys and sign language and it taught me how to buy guns illegally every week without getting caught by police
I bet you performed the world's first brain transplant
@@platosocrates9350 Why yes, I did, but i was arrested for it.
Never have I been more tempted to buy a pc gaming computer than after watching this video. Good Job gameranx!
Fishing in RDR2 and Meth manufacturing in gta 5.
Yes! That's the only simulation games I've played then.
Meth manufacturing in gta is nothing like real life
IM COOL, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT!?!🤨
@@michaelparton4295 Don't worry, he's right.
@@imcool2931 r/woosh
One simulator that comes to mind for me is iracing for anyone who would want to go to a track day with their Miata or maybe race professionally for an established team and NASCAR drivers use iracing to practice at home with because the handling physics are that realistic
@Goth Jesus rf2 is wayy better
Unfortunatly pc2 is too inconsistant
Same for f1 drivers
@Goth Jesus You can adjust camber and what not in a quite large amount of racing games... Project Cars is actually on the easier end on racing simulators.
@Goth Jesus
PC is the most arcade of simulators. AC is closer to the real simulation while remaining accessible. Then you have Dirt Rallye 2, RF2 and iRacing
@Goth Jesus That game is not Hyper realistic it is just a Simcade.
I learned how to take apart and build guns because of Escape From Tarkov. and it really helps that Tarkov uses all existing parts and stuff for gun modifications. and they really focus on the realism behind everything in the game.
As a former pilot, I can assure you couldn't imagine how many lives were saved because some of the passengers knew how to fly a plane thanks to Flight Simulator. This game is a gift in itself.
I can imagine. Once or twice.
Wow. Really? Cool.
@@maxmaxneolit Otherwise we need to rethink physical requirements to become a pilot, because if I can't imagine how often a pilot is becoming incapacitated requiring a passenger to take the seat, we've got a problem lol
Yep, same.
I play pc building for 2 years.
Now I can build my own pc and even try it on the game first to see if it will work.
Also use the game as water custom layout before put it in real life.
damn, I was bored after a week, so repetitive
Lmao, dating simulator showed me the extent to which my looks and personality wouldn't get a girl, lol
@john smith Isn't that part 2 to Date Simulator?
Well, Vader, it may be the respirator that's turning them off. Or the fact you choke people for fun. Gotta find the right girl that's into it.
Lazarus Necrosis hahaha. I agree.
the "lol" on the end😂
If flight simulators have taught me anything is that no matter how much difficult landings you've done, you can still mess up good anytime.
Cities Skylines teaches you city planing
I have that I've got over 1mil for population
yeap.... better than sim city
With mods where you can actually build things as you should, not the basic game in which you can't even build realistically
I learned so much from Farming Simulator! Its such an incredible game! I learned about hundreds of tools and vehicles which in real life I couldn't even afford to look at!
I work on farms and I was saprised it like my day to day life. I play this game way to mush loll it's like getting home and going straight back to work 😂😂
blake fabik I’m sorry to ask but are you a kid?
@@blakefabik4000 gotta keep farmin aye? That's the spirit lad.
U didn't mention "Loading simulator 2020", anyway this is not what people call it, they usually call it "rainbow six siege"
Nah its actually called GTA 5 Online
@@Moviemaker360 nah it's called kingdom come deliverance
You mean my internet is shit simulator
Don't forget Anthem
seige isnt that bad
I love that flight simulators these days have VR support on PC. It brings back a lot of nostalgia for me
You forgot to mention the most important one of all: Deer Simulator. It teaches you how to be a deer. Just ask one of the Twitch mods...
That twitch mod is really good at being a deer, he just needs to work more on the female part
@@Christian-oi7sd I’m pretty sure it’s a she not a he
Lol
I have played almost all of these simulator games, except hunting and flight one, it was really fun to find out that farm simulator is quite a fun game to play.
Off-topic: I like the videos you make guys, but it would be really nice if you start putting timestamps in the video information as now youtube is taking this in advantage and showing the users useful information about that.
Cheers! and the pizza is from Jake :D
Hunter call of the wild...
A walking simulator where occasionally you find evidence of deers but only see one every few hours...
I looked out my kitchen window and there's a deer eating off my damn tree,
I see deer while hiking all the time.
Then you shoot the deer in the face and it runs away never to be seen again. Rinse, repeat
just go to the rivers or water bodies and use a binoculars. Much higher chances of finding them and a lot more.
K S that’s why you go for the lungs...
There's a deer right now in my bedroom.
The only near perfect simulation i'd add is Big Rigs.
It teaches you how to properly reverse, drive over steep inclines, and how to handle poorly constructed bridges.
Only true trucking experts know about the secret infinite acceleration mode
I second that opinion with my open heart. Big Rigs puts to shame all these not so big names.
Really makes people think twice about real life heroes, and start to really appreciate them. Good job guys!
I learned how to be the goat, with the goat simulator.
I downloaded goat simulator when it was free on PlayStation plus. Haven’t played it yet. I’ve been playing the Witcher 3 for an ungodly number of hours. Looking forward to learning how to be a goat.
I still remember how thief simulator and drug dealer simulator helped me with something, tho some weird guys in blue are knocking at my doors and shouting
It’s probably nothing. They just knock and go away
john smith 😂😂
@john smith this is true. I've done it... btw dudes what are Feds?
@john smith 👌 Brilliant job with that one.
A.
Yo this is one of the best videos you guys have made in awhile. So many new games I learned about.
Hunter is super relaxing and a great change of pace. The environments are really well done.
I read an entire novel on audio book while sneaking around popping Elk and crap, good times.
All these really need a high quality vr version
agreed
Both truck simulators and house flipper do have VR.
iRacing has great VR. It's not on this video but if Gameranx actually still played video games it would be. If you're into racing games you can't beat iRacing with Fanatec wheel and pedals on a powerful PC w/ a Valve Index.... talk about heart-pounding racing.
@@TheBrennanSchafer I just looked up fanatec and holy shit those are expensive
Absolutely agree with ATS. I play the hell out of it all the time, I went through CDL school about 2 months ago and the game actually helped me learn and familiarize the fundamentals of backing and turning with traffic. Now I currently drive for Werner delivering to Dollar Tree and Family Dollar. 10/10
Ohh dear god no wonder truck drivers are such bad drivers these days! They clearly believe video games teach them...
I'M really happy that you included House Flipper, that game deserves to be recognized :3
Escape from tarkov thaught me how to feel like crap when you die in game, also how fragile we are and the importance of body armor
EfT is crap compared with others military simulators (or shooters), what are you talking about
hotloleyn i agree in EFT you can survive a 762 with a helmet only capable of stopping a pistol round IRL and also shoot someone 6 times with no armor fall down a 2 story bulding and 1 tap me while i deal 315 dmg and wow that actually happened to me. i uninstalled after that
@@hotloleyn compared to what? arma 3? please
@@hotloleyn yeah it’s not a milsim lmao
@@KillerQueenBitesZaDusto get good scrub
Bum simulator is coming and that is the game where lot of peoples can learn skills
I hope it comes to PS4/5. That would be awesome. Good comment!
Flight Simulator X got me into Aviation. It is extremely challenging even as a simulator. It teaches you a lot tho about planes and people have used it to learn how to fly. People have even gone to the extreme and build real flight simulators out of ral aircraft instruments. From Yoke to throttles Thrust reversers even the Tcas system.
Automation teaches alot about cars. The manufacturing process. Engines, suspensions, drivetrain etc. Very cool
Yeah not really....
Great Great video. I have been looking for such video for a long time without knowing exactly what to search. Loved it from the depth of my heart.
Glad to see House flipper on this list. I love that game!
Its probably first time Gameranx made a list of simulation games!
and it shows lol
Played trucking simulator with a valve index and a full manual trans driving setup i originally made for Dirt Rally 2 and it's quite a surprisingly realistic experience. I used to be a truck driver years ago and I genuinely think that people could learn most of the driving essentials and prepare themselves for a CDL test by playing it.
This is one of those random chance videos you sometimes find that are a jewel. Thank you!
I was introduced to flying through flight sim, when it came down to having my first flying lesson, I already had the basics down.
Kingdom come deliverance taught me to use a bow without cross hair and also swinging/poking swords.
I loved learning archery in that game. I couldn't hit shit with a bow, so I walked into the woods and spent an hour hunting rabbits. Eventually, it became my most valuable weapon
I love that game
I marked a red dot on the center of my pc, beat the prince, took his bow and dominated everyone
It taught me how to sneak into sword shop, steal all their stocks then spend the coins on wenches lmaooo
The teken series actually helped me a lot. I’d take hawrang (i know it’s spelled wrong) to the training mode and mimic his combos for my own sparring.
So you practice Taekwon Do?
Automation is also a very cool car building tycoon game that teaches you a bit about how car engines works and the different configurations an engine and a car chassis/body can be in and what differences each configuration makes. I really love it
Shower with your dad simulator is the g.o.a.t.
lmfao
Realistic, useful and fun!
The crew 2 is relaxing when you're just driving and jaming out to some music
This was a suprisingly informative video!! Loved it. I will try the PC building simulator !
Probably one of the greatest topics ever, for a top 10 video!!
I had around 7000 hours in FSX and Xplane 11 combined before I took on my PPL exam. Preparation for both the test and the practical exam was a breeze since I already understood the fundamentals through playing these games
Me: shows this to my parents. My parents : what no impossible
Edit: thanks for the likes
Yep
We need a parenting simulator ...... If I can learn how to fly a B738 study level plane on vatsim, surly they can learn to appreciate the gaming industry just a little.
Loved the video, Jake. Kick ass, man.
As a longtime fan of Construction Simulator (2015) I'm looking forward to the upcoming Construction Worker Simulator. Also, Tune My Car and Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator look like other good ones to watch out for.
After playing car mechanic sim I started taking college classes for car mechanics and now I have a degree for it in real life.
Surprised to see that Train Simulator wasn't mentioned. Its about as accurate as Microsoft's Flight Sim and nearly as old if I'm not mistaken. It teaches a lot of the basics for piloting a train as well as reading the signal lights, car coupling, train yard etiquette, etc. Of course it's also one of the most expensive games ever, if you include the ludicrous amount of DLC
Built my first PC because I played the older Car Mechanic Simulator games and wanted to play 2018. I had always been a car guy but that game really showed me what was going on and gave me a good idea of what to expect.
Right around the time I was playing it I was rebuilding my own motor with a buddy of mine and it was impressive how close to real world they got.
Also bought Snowrunner when it came out because I liked the look of it and have put a ton of hours into it and probably only halfway through, definitely recommend
Would like to mention ArmA(Operation Flashpoint) series. It gives real filling of the battlefield and you could learn all kind of things actual combatants use and with ACE mod it as close to real war as possible
Imagine seeing this video with 2k views and knowing that in 1 day it will have x100 the amount of views right now
Just commenting so I know I was here
yes you were here
@@Pupheus thank you for reminding me
Ok and
Dayz taught me about weapon calibers and to think about how other people may act
The hunter is by far my favorite simulator game, if you enjoy hunting games if recommend it and it’s got some story elements as well with quests.
I think this was a great idea for a video. Loved it. Im trying a few of these out.
Surgeon simulator💪🏻 amazing game, i learned to throw shit around😬
@Tahlil Cr Zero I think a lot of people are missing at least one organ :)
*slurps up a long "noodle"*
Honestly,they should make a serious surgery or hospital simulator.They should make the environment immersive like a real hospital.Different departments with different jobs.
I hope you're not a real surgeon, are you?
I learned that its usually totally fine if there are a few parts leftover. 😂
Atleast the game would be better than what they teach these days in college
Missing KSP best sim of all time lol! Also if you’re really into cars you can create them from scratch in an early access game called automation and export your creation into beam. It’s so rewarding 🧐😌
I picked up Mudrunner out of curiosity, but really thought it would be a game I would play once and then sell on eBay. I was wrong. It was fun to play and kind of soothing. I'd end up playing for hours while I listened to music or a podcast. Same with Farming Simulator. These games are well worth adding to your game collection!
Haven't played Snowrunner yet, but Mudrunner is addictive and challenging, but deceptively enjoyable too.
DCS World is one of those games that is your main one, it took me 6 months to learn and pass basic to advanced flight certification for the A10 Warthog. Amazing fun but a huge learning curve.
Some great sims on this video, but they take so much time to master.
Spetial mention to "Wurm" : I must admit Wurm has some interesting realism in it and it's logic and mechanics really help provide this feeling. Every mechanic is full of details you need to master, knowledge to gather, in order to fully exploit the potential of your creation and playstyle, just like in real life, and you end up feeling like you live a second life so to speak. Also, a Steam Online version will come out near the end of the month, with new dedicated servers, so why not go try it out when it release?
Wurm will always hold a special place in my gaming history. The online MMO version is THE MOST grindy game I've ever seen, ever. Wurm on Steam with hosted servers and sped up progression is about perfect. Still a sense of challenge, and time, but not a full second life.
I read the title as “stimulating games that help you learn real word skills”
This was very insightful I liked it thanks!
Super happy spintires snowrunner made the list been following them since it was a tech demo with all the dev tools available with an on screen menu :) patiently waiting to see how them implement mods on console too!
I was very surprised by this. I may have misjudged these experiences. Games have taught me many things over the years. 🤔Maybe I'll learn something new
If Gran Turismo, Forza and Project CARS taught me real skills, I'm goddamn Senna.
gran turismo and pc not forza tbh
Try assetto corsa
@@danielestrada8932 pc maybe but gt and forza are not sims at all
@@homepro3181 I've seen some videos on it, the single player is not worth it unfortunately.
@@GunsNGames1 it's a racing simulator it doesnt need a single player story , the challenges are good enough and It's about the physics not the single player
Nice that the number 1 is being showcased at 11:11 of the video ^^ Good video ! PS: Love FS2020 !
Arma 3 taught me a lot about leadership and teamwork. Obviously you need to get into a good unit, but I still learned skills that helped me in real life.
The Hunter: Call of the Wild is a good balance of arcade and simulation! It's not as rigid as a lot of other simulation hunting games. It doesn't have licenses, or expiring hunting windows. It's a bit slow and grindy, but it's not punishing. Some of the reservation DLCs are kinda buggy though!
i tend to just wander in the wilderness, for me the hunting is not important i just wander the wood and lakes and area (i am housebound and disabled so i cant walk)
@@Greenwood4727 I actually really enjoy just walking around in the game too. I have social anxiety, and use to really like spending time walking in the woods... Now I live in a big city.
Whats a more hardcore hunting simulator?
@@vicentec4779 The original The Hunter (NOT Call of the Wild!) Is free to play, and more of a simulator. It's too HARSH though for me though. It has die hard fans though!
The best game of all time
There’s been people who have been given real football management roles, purely based on their FM skills!
Who?
Ole definitely
Years ago used to only play racing games, ended up with shooter some how years ago and have improved and love it.
this video gave me some games to try out, thanks!
i literally play almost all of these and they are all amazing and addictive games. My favorite one is def. beamng
warzone got me checking every room in the house😂😂
Rocksmith has been such a useful game in my life. Has a great Custom scene too
Racing simulators like rFactor 2 and iRacing helped me so much to learn racing whilst not at the real track

I have used "World of Guns" as a reference several times when doing home gunsmithing work.
I'm kinda really down to try a lot of these games. Looks like it would be a fun experience from our normal gaming choices 🤓
I love simulator games as a form of meditation. They are soo tension-free. My most favorite is Car Mechanic Simulator. And I don't even have driving license.
I gotta say, manhunt has honestly helped me a lot
Wait a minute
Kerbal space program, come on. especially with mods.
I was hoping I’d see this in the comments. KSP is definitely a game you can’t just git gud at through playing. You straight up have to learn the basics of orbital mechanics, and by that I mean watch hours and hours of Scott Manley videos.
Lol I legit learned delta v equations with that game 🤣
I'm a truck driver in real life, and i can say that the 18 wheels of Steel series helped me understand the mechanics of how to maneuver a tractor trailer.
I know play ATS and ETS and my wife thinks I'm ridiculous for driving for work, coming home and simulating my own job. I love it though. Its relaxing.
wow
It wasn't on this list but I'm playing Truck Driver on PS4. I'm currently going through school to get my CDL (commercial drivers license) and this game helps apply what I'm learning in class, in a safe environment. It's oddly soothing and relaxing as well!
I have to be honest...
The Surgeon simulator really helped in my life...
I tried the anger management simulator. It really helped me alot with controlling my emotions. Btw, the game is called Anthem.
Username checks out
I thought you were talking about StarCraft!
I almost forgot Anthem, I googled, you had me man XD
Great video.
Game Based Learning, Gamification, serious gaming... it is all going on.
Thank you so much for this video 👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻
I love simulation!
Good because you’re in one.
I realised i own most of this list... and im proud to do so xD
I just think they’re fun games to pass time.
Great to see Microsoft Flight Simulator is still around and they are still making updates. I might have to review it for my new channel.
My Dad LOVES playing Call of the Wild, he unfournately has health problems and lost his legs...and he used to hunt all the time when he was healthy and younger. So having this game has really brought a spark back into him and I am grateful I showed him this game. He plays it all the time and racked up so much money and everything...
Try Thief simulator 😃
