Why does a trucking simulator have so much SOUL compared to modern AAA released?

I turned mouse sensitivity to minimum since I don't have a steering wheel but fuck sake its super precise especially if I go faster. Anything that can be done?

Just use the keyboard for steering.

Also, fuck Latvia and their incessant use of roundabouts on their fucking highways.

nice

We are just lucky we find long drives comfy.
Literally no better feeling than getting on the road for a long drive with a coffee.

That's the last fucking time I take a job that brings me to Russia.

People drive like absolute assholes here.

what fucking mouse dpi are you using

I actually started playing myself earlier this week and I’m excited there’s a photo feature. Love hate relationship with it though cause I keep stopping the game to play photographer.

The graphics are so simple yet it looks so good. How the hell do they make it like this, bros?

That's just it. It's simple. Just like life. You're driving around and seeing what there is while doing your job. There's beauty in the mundane.

American truck sim also has that good soul too

Is this purely a meme or is it actually good? What's the challenge?

Thanks for indulging with me Yas Forums. I want to run the higher quality versions of these shots through photoshop and clean em up more in the future when I’m not working ungodly hours.

because it doesn't have any framedrops because everything was finely tuned so that it doesn't, so you can be immersed in it.

not falling asleep. seriously

The game should let you exit the truck and walk around.

I want to know this too. i see a lot of love for it but genuinely dont understand the appeal. you're just doing endless delivery missions, someone's day job

My honest opinion? It's a comfy distraction game. You get to drive around and just breath for a bit, even if it's in a virtual world making virtual deliveries. You can up the realism or lower it depending on how you're feeling. (traffic violations, fatigue, etc.). The game part is mostly building your company and running operations. But you don't even have to do that. You can just pick odd jobs and drive. The controls could be a challenge, particularly with the trailer itself (or unloading the cargo), but once you get adjusted it feels natural.

Does anyone do anything with the multiplayer?
Any fun?

Forgot to add I also appreciate the radio option and the effort gone into making it feel part of the world. News reports, traffic (server) reports, VTC's, the music. It's pretty fun.

You're focusing your brain on a relatively simple task, it is akin to meditation.

I used to play it, it's just a comfy game to chill with, I'd recommend putting the music you like so you can listen to it while you drive

Last time I played it I was constantly raging though, something changed between updates
