Well, they were upfront, as you asked.
Exactly this^ It was more than likely overpromising/miscommunication, and then it probably became apparent then that it was a lot harder than they...
Second person in the last few days to compare TSW discussion to real life dictatorships... What an utterly idiotic thing to say.
On the flipside, same goes for the folk doing the opposite. No point in anyone slamming OR overly praising the game until we see it. For now,...
Just to expand on this, for anyone else's reference: The Government own Northern, LNER, Southeastern and TPE. They also own the brand of any...
Now that would be lovely.
I'm sure if any ex-North Koreans saw the earlier post they would be raging. Gilly's was mainly showing how ridiculous comparing Authoritarian...
True, but I have a feeling they weren't trying to bow down in praise with their comment.
Well then, don't attack a member out of context.
Look at the message of mine that Gilly quoted. You'll understand then. P.S. - He isn't using the Nazis to show "gripe" with the game. It was an...
[EDIT - Jan - Quarrelsome]
You're not buying it, cool, that's up to you. Now what does that have to do with the rest of us?
You're essentially complaining that you have to pay money for content. 3 levels of a Mario game are infinitely easier to develop than a TSW...
I sure do love comparing Video Game discussion to North Korean Authoritarianism. I wonder if the North Koreans feel the same way.
A positive thread! Hallelujah! In all seriousness, i'd like to echo OldVern's post and thank the DTG/TSW team for TSW4. I'm personally really...
LNER HST seems a shoe-in already, considering it's just a rework of the GWE HST. Much the same as the TSC version of it. Also; who could say no to...
Essentially it would make Standard/Deluxe/Special bundles - with the core game being another part of them. The only practical difference is that...
Please tell me you're taking the piss. • The cost of routes is based on the money they spend (wages and bills) developing the game, and also make...
Yep, Cathcart is set in 2014, known locally as the Year of Lies and Regrets, and the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Just thought I'd throw that in...
Not with 801s, though.
They didn't run anywhere in 2014. Apart from the middle of a Hitachi Factory, that is.
Liking something is so naïve, isn't it...
It's practically a demo version, which folk can buy DLCs for. Seems win-win. Also, would be fun to check out things like UI and such before...
I'm going to just offer that we agree to disagree. You've been quite reasonable, unlike some others with a similar viewpoint. And so I respect...
There was also an option to ignore the thread, without even pressing a button! Anyway, sign me up for Peterborough -> Doncaster in an 801.
100 Pennies doesn't sound like much. 1 Pound sounds like more. Looking at these changes individually and on paper, it's not much. However,...
I already suggested this prior to the reveal of TSW4 but I think it's a good time to have a second crack at it. Simply: If TSW will continue to...
It's not just liveries/scenarios, though. There's a lot of changes. Imo it's more justified than any other - and nobody really complained about...
Rush Hour is good enough as it is - but when it was first revealled they did it far too early, and over-promised. The main offenders: Reveal:...
Imo, it (and everything else) combined does. On paper it's a whole load of minor changes with a couple of new features - but in practise it will...
I wouldn't be surprised if that changes, tbqh. Rivet may take a chance to use the 801 for EDN. Flying Scotsman will probably just be a newer (and...
Just to throw ¢2 on this; Anyone who uses either of these tools - myself included - will be bouncing off the walls in excitement at these. On...
They should be more up-front yes, but games are only announced when they're ready to be. They could easily just announce TSW5, 6 and beyond today...
Spot on. And what of us who just want to drive the trains and get on with life? Are we "TSW4 crowd" - which seems like an attempt to just...
The issue with TSW4 is more that it's only a year after TSW3. TSW4 is justified for a new release - TSW3, in hindsight and comparison, wasn't.
"TSW4 crowd" meaning...?
You're the one ignoring the meaning of words to further your arguement, though.
Running with that analogy: Lie - "I don't have a mistress" [I do have a mistress] Change - "I do have a mistress" [When I said I didn't - I...
The definition of "lie" says otherwise. Argue with the dictionary. If you say something that isn't true because you don't actually know the truth...
I agree that there is a solid case for it being a free upgrade, particularly if you look at the features individually. If you look at them all...
They tried appeasing the people who stayed on TSW2 with promises, didn't work out. Pretty much the bottom line.
Dovetail will have notified Microsoft well in advance that they were withdrawing TSW4. The (lack of) display on Game Pass' "Leaving Soon" tab will...
TLDR - If plans change, it's not a lie. It's a change.
Still quite large changes, going forward or across the board. And what SP/LD are getting does not count as "minor" - it's a huge change for those...
Most people after a few months knew it wasn't happening - DTG should have just been honest at that point. It left no real room for complaints,...
To be quite frank, Dovetail should have just said when TSW3 came out: "Train Sim World 2 will not be updated, bar some updates after TSW3 launch"...
You should be a politician, spinning things for narratives like that. You quite clearly are just ignoring things that don't interest you, i.e....
It's probably that time of year again, isn't it... Let's do the Annual Bundle/Game Price Breakdown! Let's give Routes double the value of a loco,...
I don't think anyone really bought RH for the passengers alone. If they did, I ask them: what is wrong with you?
Wouldn't remotely hold up in court, especially as it is literally technical limitations causing it. You could write a strongly worded letter to...
