Excerpt: "It’s easier to think of Train Simulator as more of a platform, rather than a new game that releases annually like Madden or Call of Duty. Gladly, new players for this year’s update are in for the most user-friendly and least intimidating version to date.
Train Simulator 2014 at its core is a great simulation, but feels more like a game this time around. If the casual player wants to expand their collection, will most likely be turned off by the costly purchases of finding a train or location they’ll enjoy via DLC. The base game is the best it’s ever been and easily the most recommended. Let out your inner conductor, if that’s your thing."
Train Simulator 2015 has dozens and dozens of trains and routes for purchase. Here are some pop-culture themed suggestions that they should consider adding in the near future!
Love them or hate them, the ubiquitous “Simulator” games continue to go from strength to strength causing a considerable amount of bemusement that baffles most critics. Traditionally these games feel like harmless fun but some games now give the impression that they can train you to do the real thing.
Simulators of the Surgeon, Goat, Rock or even Grass variety offer gimmicky fun for a few hours, but they are ultimately novelty games with little replay value once the joke has outstayed its welcome, but you could argue that they attempt to inject a little fun into the genre and don’t take themselves too seriously.
Being able to let your imagination run wild and be whoever you wanted to be in another universe has always ensured a healthy amount of escapism in gaming, so it’s something of a surprise to see gamers escaping to play games where they perform everyday jobs complete with mundane tasks.
8CN: In case you’ve been living under a rock and haven't noticed, simulators have become all the rage lately. For example, with a grass simulator and rock simulator recently announced, you can now virtually simulate hiding under that rock of yours. But that's only the beginning. The depths of simulator madness go far, far deeper.
Go outside? You mean pick up VR. We are building a society of overweight fat people... Sad. Wall-E here we come.
If only the world leaders could read your post and see the error of their ways. It helped change my life. It really did. I was locked into my special fat person sofa with a funnel of KFC gravy about to pour into my mouth when I realised... 'shit some guy on a gaming comments section thinks people should eat less' and it all became clear.
Thank you ApolloAdams - you've not only saved my life, you've quite possibly saved the world.
