Euro Truck Simulator 2 Anyone else play? - SV650.org

31-12-13, 09:25 AM

Morning,
A few days ago I picked up Euro Truck Simulator 2 in the sale on steam as it looked like fun. I'd previously mocked my step son for playing it but after watching for a few minutes I wanted a go myself, £4 for the game and the new DLC seemed fair enough....

O
M
G!

I'm hooked, I've run numerous quick trips and I've just bought my first truck. I've got my xbox controller connected to the PC and set up pretty well for the game (still on super simple automatic gearbox) but I REALLY enjoy mile munching along with internet country radio stations playing (an in game feature!)

I can't quite explain why I find it so enjoyable. You can get speeding, crash and redlight fines, you have to repair the truck if you damage it etc. I've gotten pretty damn adept at reversing the trailers into the bays now too! (I'd be screwed in reality though as I use a hovering camera over the truck for that)

Please tell me I'm not the only closet trucker

Used to have 18 Wheels Of Steel when I was younger. Also really enjoyed looking for the longest hauls possible

Any one else on gta get a truck and trailer and then try and drive around all proper and within the law of the road?
If I had a pc i might well get something like this and whittle away hours

Downloaded it last night and i can see how it can become addictive! hard with a keyboard and laptop touchpad though!

Spent about an hour fiddling with different drivers to get my ps3 controller working with it as it was mighty hard using the keyboard but was addicted when I got going..

So enjoyable: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile.../?id=211080206
Haven't been able to play as my controller is still at work

The reason it was at work was I was trying THIS

This is how it SHOULD be played:
