Hi all, I’m looking to expand my TSW collection and was wondering if this route was any good. I’ve had my eye on this route since it released but waited for bugs and etc to be fixed. I also don’t have good knowledge about the Netherlands and their safety systems, as I like using them on other routes. Is it worth the 45$ or should I wait for a sale? Thanks! **I posted this in the off topic discussion but was told i would get better responses here**
Its 60miles long its fairly a straight route with some inclines. Trains are OK to drives quite modern. The G6 shunter a d red vectron layer in if you own the right routes. Just a2b jobs realy and depot moves. Scenery is done nice tho . I got bored quick with this one tho. Just my opinion.
it al depends on taste if you are not sure wait for a sale you could always watch a youtube run of it
Much better =-) You can't go wrong with a sale if you're not sure. There's a lot of youtube reviews out there. Ultimately it's up to your personal style.
Wait for a sale, 40-60% off and you'll have a fair deal. Regarding the developing team, have they announced a follow up? First routes are usually just a 'testing the waters, getting your bearings, learning the tools, see how well it sells' sort of affaire. I do not follow roadmap streams very closely, but has anything new Dutch of from this team been announced? Otherwise, once you've played it a few times, it's just another piece of abandonware for your archives, and my collection of DLC has already enough of those.
All depends on the sales. If enough people buy it, they'll probably make more. In any case, I think the "sprinter" could be used on UK routes around the West Midlands with little modification couldn't it? The two-level train is still really neat and unique to this route. I have never seen another like it. Very nice for sight seeing since it sits to high up.
Unless you're looking at buying a route day one and know with certainty you're gonna love it I don't see why anyone would pay full price. Especially when you don't know yourself if you want to commit and it's not that new. At this point any sale's gonna be sooner rather than later, even if the route's perfect I don't see why wouldn't spend less if you can. I can't comment on anything else, as I don't own it, but that sales factor alone I think is enough to advice you just say wait despite that. If somebody's asking they probably don't fully know themselves, that's why their asking, no offense, but I don't really feel answers like this are all that great for recommendation threads. From everything I know, most game sales are in the first short period after launch, and this is true of pretty much all games, or even movies, not just TSW. At this stage either the route's done well enough and it's already got a second greenlit, or it hasn't, not much is gonna change that at this point.
Route and locos are very well done, but I did get bored pretty quickly. Not a lot of variety of runs, pretty flat and not too fast, but it is great to experience something different and again, the dev team did a very good job on it.
