I'm just going to accept it for what it is: A mission based throwaway game (just like, say, a typical story based adventure/RPG or indeed any 'means to an end' game), so if I get 30+ hours out of it then whoop, job done. Will I replay it once complete? No, not for cosmetics. Will I buy future DLC? Definitely not - it strikes me as being something that might outstay it's welcome if more of the same is added. What I would like to have seen though is the ability to rerun missions in more extreme conditions (snow etc etc) once they'd been 3 star completed (with maybe some worthwhile rewards thrown in for good measure), because if nothing else it would certainly add an extra layer of longevity and make the 'won and done' structure of the missions feel a lot less wasted than they currently seem to be.
Thanks for the reply , I like your idea of an extra layer of difficulty! Will see what the future holds for this one , as for now we have a similar outlook ! For once we agree 🤣🤣 As always I appreciate you watching
For trucking games the benchmark is ETS2. Unfortunately we don't get anything as good as that game on XBox. Snowrunner is a good game but that's more about carrying heavy loads and logistics in hostile off road environments. I recently bought Star Trucker and that gives me a ETS2 vibe even though it's in space 😊
I get it buddy , I usually prefer the long journeys but this was a nice change from that , the 20 minute trips using precision and skill was a nice change from the norm , but we all enjoy different things ! Thanks for watching as always pal
As I've explained I'm no real truck driver , and it's always cool when somebody like yourself who has experience comes along and corrects me , I really appreciate, let's me know that they have done a great job with the sound design , thanks for watching pal
This is where unreal engine and unity fall flat on their faces when it comes to games like this , as we see it across the board . The more AI there is , the more problems you see with performance . You don't see it on ETS or ATS as it's a purpose built engine . I just think this something we will continue to see across the board on console unfortunately.
Also to add , congrats , do you see the little purple badge next to your name , that means you are a top commentator on the channel ! Thanks for you support 🙏
@Lit_Hot_takes must just be something only I can see ! But either way you are top commenter on the channel ! Also don't be worried about the amount of non sim content you are seeing lately , just trying to mix it up a little , felt like I was recycling a lot of the old sim stuff and was getting a bit stale ! I hope you enjoy it
I’m not sure. Last time a lot of disappointments in games. But if this is better than truck and logistics or better than Alaskan truck driver or the American nightmare … maybe I should buy it …
It's tricky to say what it's better or worse than because everything we've had in the past has been or has had issues As I said in my review and live streams , it's a solid little trucking game , but it's that mission structure that will hold it back for me , the longevity is questionable
Its already struggling with steam reviews only mixed so far and that is on pc where you would expect the best performance...not looking promising for console
Part of me really wants to get it, because I wanna support devs putting out trucking sims on console. I want the devs of ATS to see that there IS a market to be had to have ATS on console. I feel like it would do well. I love a good trucking sim. With that said, idk. I wanna see what kind of post launch support the game gets. Hopefully someone or the devs do a give away on it. Other than that, I think I'm gonna wait on a good sale.
I went against my instinct and purchased it. I really have mixed feelings. The problem is no matter how careful you are, the perfect score will be very difficult to get as once again the AI blocks roads and so you are forced to error because of them. Steering is a little strange, and could be smoother, but certainly better than OTR. Thanks for showing this one Lee. I don't think I will play it much, but, we'll see.
Game looks promising in terms of gameplay but the lack of career mode is a bummer. Once again, trucks seem to accelerate and brake far far too quickly,but overall its light years ahead of the likes of alaskan truck
I completely agree with everything you said buddy , it's a step in the right direction for truck simulation on console for once, really shows promise , and it's excites me to see the future for this title ( if any ) Thanks for watching pal
@CGDGAMES I fast travelled back there but unsure what to do next as there is no orange markers and the garage doors won't open. I'm about midway through the game on series x
Is microsost flight sim best sim of 24 or.is the new farm sim best sim of.24 and what do you think of flight sims career mode what would you rate it one to ten for immersion and what would you rate farm sims 25 career mode for immersion snd lastly which game do you think does it better in terms of gameplay career imersion graphics and longgevity
I don't use a wheel so not sure about how good it is , but yes I've had a few crashes here and there this week too , disappointing! Thanks for watching pal
So when you play on xbox and you’re moving around outside the truck do you just use a controller, because I have a wheel I want to use but don’t know too much how it all works
Hey sorry for asking so many questions, as mentioned earlier, I’m planning on buying Alaskan road truckers, logistics simulater, American dream, and heavy cargo, I have a wheel at home but currently live at school so I only have my controller for the next month or two, so out of those games is there on that plays best on controller in you’re opinion or is there one title I should prioritize first? Thank you and amazing reviews as always 🙏
I just remembered I have that game. Wonder if it's any better now than at launch. I guess they just released this game instead of making OTR a good game. Not surprising...
Can't get it on digital on the playstation store for some reason all there is saying it's been announced & releases on the 9th of October which is today lol , got the disc version coming on the 18th when that's released 🤔👍
Not even talking about their other games they abandon. Like autobahn police sim 3 (same for 2 and 1) These guys have a terrible history for abandoning their games and not fixing major game breaking bugs. On the road, AI is frustrating they even fall out of the sky, zero optimisation and it crashes alot. Surprised they didnt just make a sequel like they did autobahn.
I only recommend this if you have a console. Not PC. Because console barely has any driving sims Truck and Logistics is another story too. Nothings realistic, its all arcade like. Why are their games called simulators
For me you are probably best waiting for a sale , after my review of the game a few issues did arise that need tending to with updates , so by the time those updates have been applied a good sale should come along !
hey man, ive been trying to decide for so long which the best truck sim is for console and which one i should get but i really dont know haha. obviously id rather play ets2/ats but dont have a pc. so… out of all the truck sims on console which one is the best in terms of wheel support?
I'll be openly honest with you pal , non of them have great wheel support , they all have " support " but non have force feedback at all ! So it's down to your personal preference what you want out of your trucking games . I will say though that snowrunner is the only trucking game on console to have "FULL" wheel support with force feedback ! But some say that's not really a trucking sim?? All these trucking games are on my channel so take a look and see which best fits your needs and wants
I have a funny feeling looking at some of your previous comments you are not a fan of previous aerosoft products ? For me aerosoft have improved massively over the last 18 months , they restructured and their games have slowly been improving . But it seems you have been burnt in the past and not willing to forgive and forget , have you given this game a chance at all ? Have you played it or making all of your assumptions from gameplay you have seen on RUclips ?
I had reservations about this game but I love the idea behind the game and like that is mission driven. I agree the graphics are great and that is about it. One thing I don't like is not being able to see line markings through the nearside mirror. I find the controller steering is horrible, it is so difficult to straighten the wheels after turning a corner. Steering wheel support is awful, steering is much better but you have to juggle the wheel and controller. Controls in the map is terrible and takes an age to work out. The sounds of the van is horrible and why does it rev and change gear weirdly, trucks are a little better but still not good enough. Would I buy it if I knew of the problems, no.
I think the steering is an individual thing , I prefer it to OTR for instance , but I've seen others say the opposite? It's a step in the right direction for trucking games on console anyway

I had over 200 hours into OTR.....this, this isn't for me at all. It's basically just an alternative to that road maintenance game. "Mobile Game" mission based casual game.
The graphics are worthless on the ps5. and the deadzone settings in the game with my trustmaster t150 are also not as it should be for this game. I hope they will adjust this with an update. constant slack in the steering wheel. No, for now I don't think it's a fun game and I feel like I threw my money away, unfortunately
Aerosoft doing Aerosoft things. Looks like yet another pedestrian console “simulator” from them - if you’ve played one, you’ve played them all (and seen the bugs and CTDs too). Thanks German taxpayers for subsidizing their contribution to the gaming world with flipped assets and poor UI design 👍
I don’t plan on purchasing this game. Not a fan of Aerosoft, no - they deliver slop and treat Xbox horribly in flight sim and they dump an unfinished buggy cash grab from their conglomerate of “indie” studios every other month.
I think your comments are unfair about aerosoft , yes in the past they haven't been great , but over the last 12 months they have restructured and have been a lot better , games seem more polished and not as rushed out

How do u open the box the convey driver has open to take crash barrier done
You don't need to open the box the tool you need is on top of the box
The sound is supposed to be muffled inside the truck. I drive a yard dog it's really loud but muffled inside the truck with the back door closed.

How do you customise your truck?
Go back to your HQ which you can fast travel to , it's the green building on the map

This is a lot for me to say this as I absolutely love farm sim, but it has to be flight Sim for me , it's just brilliant
I'm loving the game but worried about no career, would be nice to have a truck and trailer with free roam jobs.
You mean like an endless seamless jobs you can just drive up to ? I don't think they have that in their plans from what I've seen them say !
@CGDGAMES Yeah would have been cool I hate that van lol
I tend to fast travel now rather than drive that bloody van 🤣

I just remembered I have that game.
Wonder if it's any better now than at launch.
I guess they just released this game instead of making OTR a good game.

@immune85 OTR will be getting a graphical update very soon ! So it's not forgotten about !

Available at 1pm BST 2pm CEST
How does it compare to Truck & Logistics Simulator ?
Better and bigger map ! More interesting cargo , less vehicle's to drive and no mp
At least they fixed the OTR AI issues.....by not having any!
🤣🤣
Lee have you done the Mass Shift mission? If so how did you climb the hill? I'm stuck lmao
It's a killer isnt it mate , use the suspension , lower it and higher it depending on the gradient , took me ages to figure it out

Hi are you doing well are they going to add missions and lc for truck or something else? Thank you
Yea they plan to add more missions , and I think Scania are also coming to the game too !
Thank you esque il von put that the Scania or more trucks. Thank you

Thank you @@CGDGAMES
R u still playing this i am and i found out theres heaps of missions ive done over 40 so far it does need an update
I pop on it now and again , do a job or two and pop off again , it's one of those games for me , 30 minutes here , 30 minutes there !
Any info on when OTR will possibly get the update?
I've not heard anything pal ,.but the minute I do , I'll let you know !
@CGDGAMES I hope with the OTR update they add more QOL to it too as well as AI updates
Does the steering wheel and shifter work and Xbox for it
Steering wheel yes , shifter no !

It's always a balance with fast travel , there seems to be to much of it here but not enough on ART ??
But as always thanks for watching
