You say that, but IL-2 aircraft are much cheaper than DCS aircraft, $20ish versus $50 for a single war bird, and they're not Captain Sim quality...

It's interesting seeing people bring up flight sim as a example, but it's not like everyone in the space universally agrees with the "full...

That kind of already exists in Railroader & Derail Valley, and frankly those two games I think do much better jobs at it than TSW could ever do....

Diminishing returns has been a thing since the 7th gen, the last real big jump is 5th to 6th, and honestly I don't think you could argue...

A big thing in MSFS' favor is that there is so many vendor's to pick from. Train simulator, both World and Classic, kind of suffer from the fact...

This is news to me, says something about how little I play the tutorials I suppose. But yeah, no, I'd rather have a different voice, don't really...

The issue with TSW is that's it's often not a very forward thinking game, despite the live-service nature of it. They made this whole complex...

Maybe at DTG, but I remember reading quite a bit on other train forums (Because I hadn't bought the game at the time, and thus didn't really read...

I don't remember when, but back when it first came to consoles I'm pretty confident one of the things DTG emphasized time and time again was that...

That's more a line of advice for things like "drinking and driving", or "trying to contact isolated tribes", not "adding a few files to a game to...

Principles still apply though, lot of TSW's issues aren't "$100 million dollar fixes", Run 8 has much more advanced simulation despite its small...

There's way too much content as is for people to do in a lifetime with all the services that exist on routes. It's also not like this would be the...

Unironically they tried doing that before, only reason we still have saving now is because people got rightfully mad when DTG was going to pull it...

Can confirm the above, no save system to speak of, which frankly feels a bit absurd when the locals in the game are still nearly a hour long, and...

Hardly matters when the HUD exists, that covers all sins in regards to missing info safety systems have. And let's be honest, the game's made...

You say this, but what a "mid-end" gaming PC is varies a lot, my first PC is considered "mid-end", but it still ended up being a $1000 machine out...

Also correct me if I'm wrong, but for as good as JT & TSG content is don't those add-ons have quite a few performance issues on consoles? I know...

When the 145 & NEC Stamford are pretty half-baked, and the 90 really needs another timetable to bump up value, then yes, I'd rather have them be...

More choice only matters to a certain degree, eventually you start overwhelming the customer and start turning more customers away than gaining...

This thread seems to have went a bit unnoticed, but 100%, the TSW human's in general pretty terrible. It's not even just Hatt, whenever you see a...

First off you didn't give a time frame, you just said "when support ends", which it has now in some capacity. Whether you meant to or not you very...

Still, early enthusiast sales also still matter way more than those distance discount ones. Big reason the initial pricing does matter so much is...

That's not true, games are still coming out for months after this, found a list on GameFAQs showing upcoming releases well into May, with a new...

Phil Spencer probably did though, and he effectively said the same thing about digital libraries years ago....

TSR hardly constitute a "expert" feature, even kids games have random aspects to them, and it's not like a TSR is miles more challenging to follow...

His statement isn't on if the game itself can do it, at least if I'm reading it right. And I mean I've seen people do things like turn Super Mario...

I'd argue DTG very much made their own bed, reason a lot of people get worked up is frankly DTG have shown they often won't respond to anything...

Can confirm I've never had the option to launch a game without updating. Developers can give you that option, SCS notably are really good about...

I mean, is there actual numbers for the sim versions compared to their IRL counterparts on any of these engines? One thing sorely lacking in most...

In theory, in practice the fact the dynamics are so badly done ruins much of the enjoyment a down hill run is supposed to have.

I have to say, this really just gives more fuel to my thought that TSG's steam route was announced way too early. With how long they take to do...

I think it's worth noting that "more money" doesn't mean "making money", TSG have made it pretty clear this isn't a for profit operation for them...

I've said before ages ago in the enough is enough thread, but the idea kids want "simple" really isn't accurate. Frankly kids often have more time...

The issue with "simplified" controls like in Thomas is that they're ironically harder to deal with if you are already familiar with more complex...

I mean, yes, the terms a bit silly, what of it? Lord knows you can pick apart terms like "Triple A games" or "Blockbuster", Jim Sterling liked...

I mean, literally what got me OUT of trains for a period of time was seeing all the spite and hatred toward Ed Dickens on places like TrainOrders....

I mean, as far as I'm aware we really don't have any numbers to say one way or the other, saying it wasn't a flop as just as baseless as saying...

How? If I'm reading you right you're basically saying "People love the route, so it clearly can't have been a s___storm". Which sorry, that's not...

No it's not, fly over areas with lots of cities and aircraft traffic there's a lot to see actually. (Night's actually nice in that regard since...

Lot of routes have seemingly impressive timetables, until you look deeper and realize the majority are just copy and pasted over and over again....

Aviation related instead of trains, but a obvious example's the contrast between the United 232 crash with the Asiana 214. They're very different...

The literal definition of the word really doesn't matter all that much, it's how people actually use it in conversations. And frankly in gaming...

It's just as much on DTG, if not more so, they create the expectation that it's not gonna be something for the core if they keep announcing this...

You say that, but interestingly it's coming to Nintendo Switch as well.

Called it! Man the forum's going to be interesting today!

Lot of people who grew up with the show still like it, heck, I read the books again last year, and I still think they're excellent. I'd also note...

Honestly could depending on how you look at it, the way DTG seem to use remaster is frankly very weird and arbitrary. The most "universal"...

I'm gonna put it out there, I think chances are high it's actually Thomas, timing would actually make a lot of sense. For those not in the know...

Some people can't just pretend they don't know how the sausage is made, people like me care more about how the game's systems actually function....

I see the remarks on the forum about medals and what not, but I feel like that misses much of the point. People act like scores are just "some...
