It took me by surprise, wrote it off as dudeweedlmao but got around to it a couple of weeks ago. I liked it until I started trying to manage employees and supplying both myself and their property.
I also started playing at just the right time to get screwed over by the update with the cartel making Westville more obtuse than it should have been until I looked it up (screwed my rep gain by unlocking mostly ever customer before activating the meeting). Decided to stop but I'm looking forward to it being finished, if he can polish up the management and progression side of things.

Americans practically invented them. the first real racing sim was Indy 500 in 1989, full 3D graphics and everything. developed by Papyrus who would later evolve into the iRacing studio. they also developed Grand Prix Legends and the NASCAR Racing series which are generally regarded as the best simulators of the 90s. the only one even remotely comparable was Geoff Crammond's F1 series.

ATS is made by a Czech studio. the reason ATS exists is because so many Americans were playing and modding Euro Truck Sim (which was primarily designed for a Euro audience) to have American content that the studio decided to make an official product focused on it.

The Japanese also make truck games, but they are ignored in the West, like most Japanese things. But when an American indie transvestite makes a game inspired by the same mechanics, but adds transgender propaganda and depression themes, then suddenly Americans will buy it by the millions, as they usually do with indie games that are totally derivative of Japanese things.

I like how unhinged their fiction is. For some weebs this gives the impression that the people themselves are based for allowing wild shit to exist. And damn near every type of woman is better than American women. I wish it didn't take me until my 30s to broaden my horizons in that aspect.

ETS2 and ATS are very good on controller. Only tried on a PS4 one but I assume it would be similar on xbox ones as well.

I play snowrunner instead though because I like offroading.

>>729153713
The only DLC you really need is the season ones since they have maps and gameplay.

Play the maps in release order since newer trucks tend to power creep the old ones and the three base maps will keep you going for a long ass time.

JAT tire pack is if you're a shitter who needs mud tires on scouts
DLC trucks are either useless or overpowered win machines, get them if you want but the game has a huge mod catalogue that are both better and free.

No matter how much I play ATS/ETS I can never "get it".

It's so repetitive and monotonous.

I guess you're meant to play with an USB wheel because with a controller this thing is a snorefest.

Well, its just like any other simulator, a niche you either like or not. I like driving and I find it cool to drive around parts I ll never get to myself. I just listen to music and immerse myself like its the real thing.

Ask any white American or European about their experiences in Japan and how they get treated over there. Japs even treat hapas like trash just because they are not pure Japs.
Go to Japan and find a job in a JP company (not western ran company in Japan but a real Japanese one) and then tell me what do you think of Japs when they treat you like a subhuman.

I play with a controller. You can mostly do everything with a controller just fine, and the default settings work quite well. The only recommendation I have for you is that you map a button to that key that toggles the minimap and side mirrors since it doesn’t seem to be mapped to anything by default. But, overall, yes, I strongly feel that these games are almost meant to be played on a controller, at least if you don’t have a wheel. Playing on KBM sounds kinda tedious honestly.
>>729153509
I advise against this. There’s no comfy cruising in Snowrunner, you just winch yourself from one tree to the next as your truck waddles through mud. Shame because I love games that let you build infrastructure, but Snowrunner is just a chore to play. It’s good if you have an infrastructure autism I guess since the whole game is basically about rebuilding towns

You could say this about literally any country. I feel like only Scandinavia and Brazil are NEET friendly, every other nation works you like a dog. Japan is just more romantic about it, they jump off buildings and hang themselves from trees, instead of just overdosing on prescription drugs or shooting themselves in the head like a normal person. That said, I agree that Japanophiles are pathetic. Anyone who values another nation over his own should be fucking beheaded

Star Trucker, yes. It tries too hard to be like E/ATS while at the same time going too hard into the simulation stuff like repairing your truck and replacing batteries and shit like that. It’s alright, but there’s no comfy cruising. You just slowly fly from one teleporter to the next while avoiding space debris. It’s one of those “wide as a lake, shallow as a pond” kind of simulators
>>
>>729158601
Many games are repetitive and monotonous. Gacha games, sportsball games, shooters, MMOs. A lot of games wind down to you just doing the same shit over and over again. For some, their poison is just driving a big rig across the country/continent. There’s just something so soothing about it

They should give you a cute anime girl passenger who talks to you and reads directions. A lot of people already listen to a podcast or whatever while they play.
At truck stops, you can feed her, shower with her, and sleep with her. Getting a hotel and nice food raises her morale, but cuts into your profits.

Giving a (You) because I desperately need a logistics gacha. Something sort of like Death Stranding meets GTA Online meets ETS. You roll for drivers and mechanics and, of course, various kinds of vehicles. Somebody, please, for the love of God. Enough with the “you play as a private company that is totally not a glorified PMC and all you do is send glorified mercenaries to kill people”. Nikke, GFL, AK, AL, BA, Limbus, all these gachas are the exact same shit

Trucking is space is spacedad meme desu. You can try ED and you will be disappointed. Best case scenario you just autopilot like in X games because it's all about flying straight, jumping and flying straight again.

Japan is actually really cool. I'm not really a weeb, I dislike anime shit, and most non-western culture but going to Japan is like going back to 1950s Western culture. People care about their appearance, they take care of their homes and their neighborhood, and the place is generally a nice place to be. I can't say the same for any spot in America other than rural areas with very small communities

Retarded take. Americans don't go to arcades nearly as much as japs do, with American arcade popularity falling off massively as soon as home consoles were released. Post a SNES trucker game made by Japs.

Japs do play truck sims, and made their own map mod.
