No you wouldn't. You really wouldn't. Go into the game, load free-roam, spawn in a train. You'll see there's already a list of different...
Yeah. I've tried Diesel. It's mostly shunting around Anopha Quarry and both sides of Knapford harbours. His gameplay is fun and it does offer a...
I've used every locomotive, already finished every story, all collectables and challenges. To answer your other question.
Sure. Take James for example, Out the 15 services, 14 of them are the local service between Knapford and Vicarstown. All with the same coaching...
Any chance of some service variety in the timetables? The game's only been out for 2 days and I'm already getting sick of doing the same run after...
Do you think that DTG made a whole separate scene of Brendam Docks just for one photo of Diesel? When every other photo is in a similar location?...
The first DLC will be the brendam branch. The route is already in development
"I never had any issues so there are no issues" is a hell of an argument buddy.
Never said that. The issues are based on what I've seen/heard in this community. It's universal, not specific.
Sorry, let me just find a spare £400 for some ram for my top end PC. How about you get off your high horse and remember not everyone has had the...
But it's not just a PC game.
I doubt DTG had the confidence in the product for a preview stream.
Let's take stock of the situation: Long load times, crashes, and poor frame rates even on capable hardware, Persistent bugs and blurry...
And therein lies my question All the DLC for Train Sim World 5 works out at a price of £295. If the DLC model and pricing is to be similar to...
I’m not arguing that companies should teach children the value of money, and I’m not saying parents aren’t responsible for purchases. The idea of...
That's a fantastic question, and it's one that I'm struggling to answer. If a game appears aimed at children, should the DLC structure reflect...
I like this, you raise some really good points. I feel that yes, there is a level of personal responsibility. Parents have responsibility for...
You make a good point. Whatever happens, we don't really know, and I've already been thinking of doing the stats after a year of release. But I...
I struggle to get my thoughts and feelings out clearly in writing. My words are often time taken wrong or just misinterpreted. The ideas and...
Ok. As said; train simulator titles tend to follow a very recognizable structure: a base game containing a few core routes, followed by a large...
Id also like to add; Other Thomas games aimed at younger audiences have often made characters unlockable through gameplay or bundled expansions....
I think my point has been getting misunderstood, so let me restate it more clearly: train simulator titles tend to follow a very recognizable...
I think there’s been a misunderstanding of my point. I’m not accusing Dovetail of doing anything unethical, and I’m not arguing against DLC...
I don’t think I’ve argued that everything should be in the base game. DLC is normal in games and I’m not disputing that. But having said that, I...
That's actually a fair way of looking at it and it's a good point. However I feel that physical models are more tangible. It's physical, you have...
I think you raise a good point about Mattel likely having a lot of oversight, especially since it’s their brand, and I agree that the game has...
Train simulators traditionally rely on a very large amounts of DLC designed for adult hobbyists. If that same structure were applied directly to a...
I want to clarify something: I never actually said Dovetail was doing anything unethical. What I said was that monetisation in a product that is...
That’s a fair point, and I agree that in practice it’s usually parents or grandparents making the purchases rather than the children themselves....
Children interact with media differently than adults. They are more attached to characters, less able to evaluate value, and more sensitive to...
I haven’t accused Dovetail of anything. I’ve asked whether a the DLC model seen in other train sims is appropriate for a child-focused brand, and...
Yes, monetisation aimed at children isn’t new. games like Lego Dimensions were expensive. But the fact that something has precedent doesn’t mean...
I agree there are worse examples in the industry. But that* doesn’t automatically make more moderate versions above criticism I’d rather see...
Thank you for the response, Jamie. I completely understand that detailed post-launch plans may not be shareable yet. My main question isn’t...
This is an open letter to Dovetail Games. I wanted to share a calm and genuine concern about WoS, more so the "Deluxe edition" of the game. This...
So the 802 has no faults? Cracking....
Id prefer even older. 1960s, end of steam on the S&C. The thrash of a 28 on that
Another route to Crewe...oh joy. This is what? The 3rd? We should have gotten something more interesting like the S&C.
Alright, I'll apologize for any offense. And I'll try to word my thoughts more civilly: Dovetail is sitting on a goldmine of an IP, You have...
And If by some miracle Dovetail is reading this thread, then I want them to know exactly how pathetic this all is: I was watching the reveal with...
Because it's a joke.[EDIT - Jan - Language] It's pathetic and why should we care? Why give our money to this when we'll just get the same [EDIT -...
It's been promised for a while.
*of course multiplayer will be a payed subscription.
I predict: Expansion on what we already have, new sound files (Class 142 sounding like Tim Curry) Re-releasing trains we already have in liveries...
Getting a head start.
Fantastic route and I love the effort. You can tell the level of care that went into it. Honestly I hope that we get more routes from this guy. He...
Exactly. Give me Bullied Pacifics to Brighton. Give me A4s at Stoke bank! I'll even take a heritage railway with a Austerity tank
Steam is fine the way it is. We just need more steam engines and steam routes. I don't mind the physics.
Steam doesn't need fixing!! Driving an engine is difficult, firing an engine is hard! Even TSC has a more simple steam driving system, and the...
Honestly I just want more variation! Give me more steam, more routes that no longer exist, more countries!
