RCE casually buys a terribly rated game, then somehow enjoys the game enough to keep playing it
Edit: wow 1.9k likes
Edit: 2k likes. WOW. That’s so many.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
To be fair, I do that on steam sometimes, I buy terrible rated games because the fun part is seeing all the bugs and how bad programmer are at their job (I am a programmer, by the way).
They usually cost less than a coffee, its good fun for a couple of minutes.
@@monad_tcp People buying 1-2 dollar games expecting a fully fleshed out game is the problem. They are the starting project of someone new to making games. Altho some games should prolly just be free. But I dont blame a dev for trying to get a couple dollars considering how long it can actually take to make something that runs at all.
@@sleepybunnynorbun1039 I agree , its still fun seeing them fail and get better with each new release
I was to bro. Matt got to think
I was yelling at the screen: DO AN UNDERTRUSS!! I guess Matt was so overwhelmed by the graphics and the physics, that he forgot how to engineer 🤷♂️
But what about all the poor cars driving on the underside?
@@5Andysalive we dont care about them
@@5Andysalive no-one cares about the azzies there mental
same
@@kyles1255 damn, didn't know we be hating on the Australians
Matt failing because of his reliance on the stupid wall brace bug in Poly Bridge is delightful.
Also: under the deck truss, mate. Wow.
Yeah I was wondering why he was so focused on building on top of the road
exactly, it must have been the secret architect inside of him
What is this wall brace bug you're talking about?
@@eclipseeffigy in Polybridge the terrain is solid, so you can have hanging bits of material bumping into the terrain in order to help give some support where you were not supposed to get support.
That's physics. Not a bug...
As a mechanical engineer, I had to chuckle when you said that clients changing their mind is realistic. Because it's 100% true!
It must be bad for you engineers, I'm a software developer and at least we don't lose materials, only time and electricity and cheap cloud credits when clients change their minds. They also get bugs for free because of the changes, but that's on them.
@@monad_tcpif it's anything like when I was building stuff the customer is still paying for the materials used before the change and extra change order fees and the cost of new materials/labor and engineers aren't going to be losing any materials since they aren't the ones building any of the stuff ever just time redesigning things
@@monad_tcp At my company, there were several times when I talked to our mechanical engineer and even our EEs when change requests come in and can understand the grumbling that may arise. Being the software engineer, it is easy for me to make changes, as it is often just a matter of programming, but for our poor mechanical engineer, not so much. No wonder we 3D print so much stuff in-house before sending anything to production. At least for the EEs, it is a little easier as they can at least solder jumpers or "bread-board" things to test.
As a German it was funny to see RCE thinking beenden means play
It even has the word 'end' in it 😂
I don’t know any bit of German but people normally have exit at the bottom and play at the top it would be weird to have the exit button closer to the editor button
He didn’t think it meant “play” he thought it meant “language”.
I chuckled at that too. At least Optionen was clear enough
I am guessing it was more for content .. . The button to end a game is the last option 99 percent of the time and the word "end" is literally in it.
Those graphics remind me of Bridge Architect. Maybe it would be a good video idea to play the bridge building classics? I think Bridge Architect was what started this genre.
If only it were called Bridge Engineer instead 🥲
@Jeal0usJelly mmmmmmmm but architects and engineers are =
So you obviously never played Pontifex the real daddy of bridge building.
@@flafikHear me out, before Pontifex, there was a free game, BRIDGE BUILDER.
@@nikauswien5863yep, bridge builder, then pontifex. The original bridge builder with a few extras is on the Cryptic Sea page for download.
Unironically, the cross truss is a unique and interesting mechanic not seen in Polybridge. A support cars can't drive through...
Just use a road in poly bridge for that role. They also are stronger in compression, which is more nuanced than the cross truss.
@@TheSoapySurprise and heavier. With a stricter length limit. They were very much not intended as and thus are different to non-driveable supports.
edit: thus*
The water is on purpose, so you can play the BP Oil Spill Simulator simultaniously.
ah yes. you zoom in and realise the water is full of oil XD
I am not an engineer but couldn't you build an arch under the bridge in the "impossible" level.
He kinda did it, but it didn't worked but maybe that is why the reason the people say it so badddddd
Or he can use the stuff on the 👉
@@minili837he didn't use corner pivot and tried to use unreal thing instead
Totally worth the 9 bucks to see the traffic drive up the truss
E
In engineer they truss.
...On bridge they truss?
honestly this looks really fun, play more of this
Couldn’t you have just done an under truss so you can use the cross beams anywhere?
Edit:
Ignore me he mentions it later anyway 😂
I think that 2nd game has a lot of potential if they add realistic physics
Day 136 of asking Matt to play Mindustry.
this isnt ur 136th day lol liar
youre 10th
@@Edvit40it is, just watch an older video
Matt is gonna wait to day 200 not gonna lie
He'll just put it behind a pay wall, that's what he's been doing with series the fans want
So Bridge! came out on steam in 2015, but it originally came out in 2011. Back when this came out it was genuinely the top of the line bridge builder game. I'm not especially surprised that it hasn't held up well, I'm pretty sure I was playing it on a Vista at the time, so we've had quite a bit of tech upgrades since then.
"The Ditzy Demons Are In Love With Me"
In case anyone wondered from that brief image when he sorted the games by score
did anyone else go look it up?
no?...
okay, so just me
When you finished the second bridge, you unlocked the Pillar. Maybe that's what you had to use for the 4th bridge and it was just hiding behind the left/right buttons
He should have trussed only the "middle-ish" roads. The outer ones would have been supported by the ancorpoints and the stable middle part.
Love to see how German engineering is to hard for RCE :D
I think a cool idea for the channel would be to show off some of the public structures that you helped design and talk us through your process and why it was built the way it is. Love the videos.
"Um actually those are good bridge buil-"
*You absolute architect!*
You should play the OG bridge building game, Bridge Builder. It was freeware even in early 2000s and it was done by the same guys that later went on to create Pontifex bridge construction series.
Played it so much in elementary school lol.
@@jort93z Me too.
I'd love to see you do more of this game! and go back to the first one and try an under truss.
The first Game was in GERMAN 🇩🇪
Matt reading the german was pretty funny.
Also you summoned all of us 😂😂
yes, you should play ''The Ditzy Demons Are In Love WIth Me'' 🤣
Are we all going to pretend we didn’t see “The Ditzy Demons Are In Love With Me” at 0:08 knowing steam NSFW is off by default 👀
The game seems pretty playable, they probably overpromaced on a kickstarter or something. Unmet expectations is the best way to get a bad score on steam, no matter what you actually made
Petition to get RCE to make a series out of this
petition signed
Definitely water made by an architect (dont ask how you make water)
00:08 The Ditzy Demons Are In Love With Me!
I don't think the first game had a physics engine. I think it actually only allowed predefined shapes.
Meaning that if the dev made a bridge they thought should be an under truss, you would fail no matter what with an over truss.
The reason you keep building the same bridge is clearly because Architects didn’t like the last one and complained to the council :-(
Interesting how the traffic in this world is somehow always completely symmetrical.
Why no under-truss?
Day seventy three of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune
It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet.
It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).
I played Bridge en bridge 2 many , many years ago. They were pretty much the first games like this.
yeah exactly I remember playing similar games like 5 years ago. If they're the same as mentioned in this video, they've aged very well all things considered.
have you forgotten Pontifex?
@@kristianstaalby8499 or the slightly more OG "Bridge builder" released a year earlier in 2000.
@@jk9554 "Bridge Builder" from 2004 has exactly the same font as the game in the video. I think it's the same license
wait-wait-wait- you're telling me that at 12:27 that suspension bridge is realistic? shouldnt that with all the traffic have the whole thing cave in on its self?
I like how there's no water under the bridge in the first game until the car crashes off the bridge and there's a splash
More background variation would do this game wonders. But yea, reviews are definitely harsh
I enjoy videos like this, because sometimes (like here) they uncover underrated gems. I would definitely watch more of either of these games, but especially the sequel... seems like they cleaned up a few things the first game got wrong.
Biiinden 😂😂
For an Austrian Guy this was very funny 😂
At a guess I would say most people just didn't like how simple the games were. Each map seemed to roughly have one solution, if the bridge held it's own weight you passed. The "Stress" meters for traffic seemed to barely be a factor. For most part all you had to do was use most the pieces and be under budget and you pass.
Maybe the harder maps got more complicated but I would imagine a lot of people don't want to wait hours of playing through the easier modes to get to something fun and challenging. Never mind there is no free build or random mode I think. Meaning once you go through all the challenges that is it, as again there is basically one solution to each map. No replay value for cheaper builds or the like.
yeah but i think a big problam with it is thier is only enogh materials to build the bridge 1 or 2 wasy usaly being over truss and under truss
Day 69 of reading someone commenting day 420 of asking RCE to play game that he is never gonna play.
When you go in expecting one of the worst games around, it'll be a pleasant surprise. But if you went in looking for a good game, it'd be a disappointment. I was playing bridge building games of this quality in 2000, and they were freeware.
Now play the worst reviewed city builder...oh wait, you're already doing that
How tf did you find hentai by looking for bridge games? 💀
Why build bridges when you can break them?)
I made a map in TearDown, called 'Almost Golden Gate Bridge'. If anyone suddenly wants it) In general, I just remembered, if you don’t want it, ok)
Building bridges is very good, for real.
Try Pontifex II, or Bridge construction set
4:35 Im so glad rce said that, I thought that was my dog barking xD
For whoever wants to know it's ''The Ditzy Demons Are in Love With Me'' at the start of the video
Edit: Went to check, and surprisingly it's already on my wishlist...
So many bridges, and no bridge review? I'm sad.
BTW RCE, I started watching your videos before I started working on bridges myself. I do train bridge repair. We just pulled out (giggity) of northern alberta with a complete redecking of a steel through truss bridge. Beautiful area right in the heart of the northern rocky mountains.
Not gonna lie, been just devouring all your content lately lol. Keep up the great work!
You little porker!
that looks like a german kid made that for school and it looks cool. i like it
Well ngl this was pretty fun
I wouldn't mind seeing another video on this game
Also, if the dev just put a lil more work into the assets and the background texturing I think this would be a pretty nice game in the whole of it
The Bridge and it's sequel didn't actually seem all that bad.
If they gave it another 6 months of TLC, both games could have been so much better.
There's all the fundamentals of a decent videogame, but it just lacks polish.
A fresh coat of paint on the UI (and fixing spelling mistakes), fix the texture LODs to improve the graphics and iron out a few more of the biggest bugs.
Boom. Your game is now worth at least 10 bucks a piece.
0:54 as a german watching the cursor going on „beenden“ knowing whats going to happen
You were a professional civil engineer? Does thst mean you finally retired and able to do RUclips full time?
Is there a section for crappy city builders? That could be fun.
I often think that these types of game were made by students in college for their bachelor thesis, because now way real studio would publish something like that
Matt looks at a German game:
"Everything german is engineered good, right?"
Me: "Gollum..."
"I assume anything made german is pretty well engineered right?" Meanwhile germany getting rid of nuclear energy
I feel light headed after yelling: UNDERTRUSSES, UUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUSSSSEEEE
First game did have some issues. Second game didn't seem to be awful. It's obviously not made by someone with alot of experience. But everyone starts at the bottom and works their way up.
Only issue with this game is we can’t see Alan’s solutions.
20:40 “Please be good” haha even the game isn’t sure of itself
I really appreciate that you went into these games with an open mind. So many content creators will let preconceived notions warp their view of experiences and they go in immediately negative and only prepared to dunk on things because that's what viewers want. In the end they hurt creative people who put a lot of effort into things, and sometimes it's really undeserved.
Really respect that you didn't do that. Even if the games had been as bad as the reviews implied. Great bonus that you ended up having fun because of that attitude too.
Always love a good Civil Engineer video!
youre 15th
I want to see a full series on bridge 2 it’s quite fun to watch
What i've learned from this type of videos is that you want the highest or lowest rating as a game dev. The mid games are the ones that never gets played.
I was surprised Bridge 2 is considered one of the worst bridge building games. I played it a few years back and thought it was fine.
Games made by Architects.
I don't understand how he misunderstood beENDen for optionen
I have a question you might know the answer to: Are real brdges built stronger than they have to be? In the games you can get away with the bridges taking stress when under load, 10%, 15%, even 90%.. do real bridges have that or are they always made to have over 100% integrity?
Yeah, bridges got build stronger than they have to be. When bridges are weaker they collapse because of their own weight. All bridges need to carry more weight then them self
@@besser-nicht Dank dir
We need more videos of the worst games on Steam.
Hey RCE, on the topic of bridge building games, you think you could give 'Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead' a go?
I‘d love to See you trying the First Game again useing an undertruss
Worst? I dunno, runs better then Cities Skylines 2
"the ditsy demon are in love with me"
I think Bridge Constructor is a worse bridge game than this ! It also pre-dates PolyBridge lol
0:08 hol'up a second that does not look very pg, hmm
Plz plz finish the portal bridge constructor!
The first one feels like it's got the low score because they've made the margins so slim for success that there is only ONE singular solution with only just enough pieces to do it. Unlike others that let you experiment and go over budget/give you enough budget and pieces for wiggle room to have solutions with room to save on the budget and be more efficient
I thought it was going to be on cities skylines 2
Thanks editor for that shot at the beginning
All the bridge constructor games give the wrong impression, that vehicles add significant load to a large/steel bridge.
This is barely even true for wooden hanging bridges. The mass of vehicles and people is insignificant compared to the mass of the bridge.
Of course, poorly maintained bridges happened to collapse during large circus parades, where a bridge was fully loaded with people and heavy traffic, ideally hanging bridges being overloaded only on one road side, tilting the bridge enough, so that half of all cables carry nothing.
In the end, only bridge builder sims that have an earthquake button are somewhat realistic, for simulating fatigue.
Keep playing it this! Let’s make this random guy’s horribly rated game a trend
Bridges can never be worst
But the guy who designs them or the game can be 😂
"The ditzy demons are in love with me" ...
The first one was definitely bad but the sequel just really needs some polish. Defaulting to German rather than checking the user's system language and starting with that if it's a supported language is a particularly bad mistake. Past that, the biggest issue is just the tutorial. Though that weird camera in the boat level is something that should be fixed as well.
@RealCivilEngineerGaming
On behalf of the German Minister of Transport, Dr. Volker Wissing, I have been instructed to send you two messages
First
You have proven that as a professional you have the ability to build bridges as an engineer.
(This game was made to find "Gemany's Next Engineer" :D )
The request is hereby made to renovate Germany's dilapidated bridges (4000 ones of 130 000)
Secondly
You have violated various laws, you have neither submitted an application nor drawn up a planning approval procedure for environmental impact; or an award of the trades was not announced, too.
A Red Notice has hereby been issued to you.
Best regards
Minister of transport
Comment may contain traces of satire (and tragedly also truth 🙈) (Best wishes from Germany)
ok, play Bridge 2 again, lol, it looks like an enjoyable game, especially the railway planning stuff
The first one is German, and... that's so strange to me, as a German. Nothing is ever German by default.
That was flipping entertaining . You may have been an engineer but you could have been a comedian
Reinforced concrete does work in tension - like that bridge in Genoa that fell down because the rebar rusted....
"That's a bilf right there, I'll tell you," was an engineered joke. Priceless.
I have been searching the comments to see if someone mentioned this, I lost it at that line xD
Oh man, I remember NerdCubed play this. Good times.
Would actually not be against a series on this game😂
Day 9 of asking Matt to play Roblox Industrialist
Never
it is actually what you should expect from it's price 🤔
at least it is not asking 80-100$ for some digital garbage that they dare to call "game". not going to mention (⬛) but I'm pretty sure all gamers have some major titles come up on their head...
