After Frankfurt S-Bahn, once again no trophies for Manchester Airport Commuter. Does anyone know the reason for this? Personally, I miss it.
I already called it out in the release announcement thread, but I'll reiterate. Anything without achievements immediately lands in my "pick up at -80% only" pile. I play this game because I enjoy driving trains, but I have 800 games on my console that will reward me with achievements if I put in the time, so if your game doesn't do that you are really losing to the competition that does. I also like doing plenty of other stuff besides driving trains, so... Fun fact? It is so so SO easy to design and implement. It's just a middle finger shown to all consumers. Well, two can play that game. Only proves what a bad decision sticking to Gen8 in 2024 has been. Come on, the platfroms are over a decade old. Move on. Geez.
Actually, after reading this thread I lost all hope. Let's kep our fingers crossed that once TSW6 goes Gen9 only it will get sorted, possibly retroactively.
That's the fun part, I don't! This means that when something pisses me off in one, I can always play another But yeah, 800 games unplayed games is what you end up with if you were an Xbox gamer for two decades with interests in everything gaming
This all part of there performance package selective routes for the 8th gen reduced & comprised routes for the 9th Gen already proven with Frankfurt-S Bahn There Trophy System sucks anyway only 5 trophies no higher than Sliver per route add-on Base game 20 the trophies where far to easy to unlock got the platinum trophy 5 times over all from Train Sim World
I was really enjoying TSW5 - I thought DTG had finally started to get their act together. The triggers will be in the code, so why not implement on PS5? I don't want to go back to not buying stuff cos they've annoyed me, but they've annoyed me and I'll keep my wallet closed again for a bit/
I remember this question being asked during the stream and Alan said that there would be Achievements/Trophies. I think future routes need to clearly state that they won’t have Achievement/Trophy support.
Personally not a show stopper for me, I’m here to drive trains not collect awards. However I appreciate the frustration of those who do enjoy that aspect. Seems, along with bridge reverb, one of those things that failed to get added to the “to do” whiteboard.
For some games I’m a trophy hunter but that won’t stop buying the DLC, I don’t really understand why there’s no more trophies since the Dutch route (except both Thomas DLCs). I’m going to put my tinfoil hat on and speculating that they won’t bother implementing trophies, mastery rewards and especially the monthly mastery will gradually take over classic trophies. *tinfoil hat off*
Probably for the same reason as Frankfurt S-Bahn - the route not being available on the old consoles. On Xbox at least, the achievements, and progress towards them, is shared across xbox one and series s/x, and I don't think Microsoft would allow achievements to be added to the game that for some players at least, are entirely unachievable. I assume dtg wants trophy/achievement parity across xbox, PlayStation and PC, and that's why there is none
Many questions asked in the thread Q&A ignored. In particular what DTG are doing to fix the service chaining (with and without saving) so these short network routes can function as intended, ahem DTG Jamie ?
And that’s why there are no differences between the various platforms in terms of the number of services per route… Frankfurt S-Bahn, anyone? Sorry, couldn’t resist this sarcasm.
