Enough Is Enough!!!

Page 99
Here we go !!!

 

I mean, there really isn't anything major to complain about right now without talking in circles.

 

we can try talking in squares ?

 

I feel like this thread is now just a "shadow of itself"... The majority of people talk about when we will ge to the page 100 and are buffing it every now and then. Of course the issue mentionned at the start are mostly still there but talking about it in circle isn't resolving them.

 

Well, I simply stopped playing, so there's not much to add from me. Nothing revolutionary was added between TSW2 & TSW3 and also between TSW3 & TSW4. Likewise, probably no revolutionary changes will be introduced between TSW4 & TSW5, but there will be surely a price tag to get the update, whether you want the included with it routes or not.

 

Sorry to be that guy but is it really a meaningful achievement to hit 100 pages in this thread when it FEELS like 80% of the content here is general chatter or people going "wow look how many pages this thread has!! wow look how many pages this thread has!! wow look how many—"
You get the point.

What I'm trying to say is, is this thread even meaningfully contributing to the conversation anymore? Sure there's some valid points here but finding those valid points is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

 

Fife Circles

 

Welcome to page 99

 

yea, this is like the go-to, number one, king of joke threads here on the forum and I am glad there is one

 

see? one user mentions talking in circles, I ask about squares, and here comes triangle anyone got a cross? (PS pun intended )

 

Now, Alex following up his post by locking the thread at page 99 would definitely have been funny.

 

that would have been utterly cruel and funny at the same time

 

99 Lokomotiveeeen

 

Is it worth celebrating this page with 99 red balloons

 

or a new route with 99 miles of track?

 

198 red balloons?

 

There still is Mobius' endless loop...

But otherwise this thread serves a purpose to vent our frustration with the game.
I still refuse to call TSW a rail transport simulation, at best it is a locomotive control desk simulation. Since almost all other aspects of rail transport, economics, operations like dispatching, switching and serving customers are mostly missing.
It is s game where collecting collectibles while trespassing on railroad property is a key game element.
It is a game because the target audience seem to be gaming console owners, with the commercial approach of 'a new level every n-months', 'play, finish and discard' seems to be the main attraction for the thumbstick audience.
It is a game because with every new iteration we don't get improved depth, but rather another incarnation of the same shallow and repetitive gameplay.

Still waiting for the different focus Focus Entertainment has given/will give DTG. So far, it seems nothing really changed, it still seems quantity over quality, repetition over expansion.

Perhaps dictated by DTG's market research, budget and time constraints, management decisions or whatever, who knows?

TSW5 is soon to be announced, perhaps with this subscription model, year passes, common on the consoles already?

I for one consider myself disappointed with TSW's progress over 5 years after the initial beta caught my eyes, and in full faith my initial purchase of some DLC which soon was abandoned.

 

It still amazes me, that after numerous iterations, TSC is still a (way) better train sim than TSW is.

 

Exactly. We wouldn't be doing it if we hated you and your games. We know that you and your team are capable of producing amazing work, and it's just sad to see when they aren't able to use their capabilities and talents to the fullest extent, for example, I feel like there was too much of a time restriction for the team on the Maintalbahn.

I know there are enough people doing their job with love and passion, but I feel like sometimes they cannot do that because of profit-directed decisions. And of course, profit is totally fine, you are a business, and you need that to survive and pay your workers, but I just feel like the love and passion for the work, and for the trains, is a bit too much in the background. Whatever these restrictions are, I just wish that would change, not just for us, the customers and the hobbyists, but also for the better of you and your workers.

 

99 pages and nothings changed. Cute.

 

it is literally said in one of the intro screens when starting the game that it is done for railfans to enjoy their passion in comfort of their own home and they shouldnt trespass and such IRL

 

I’ll have a 99 please with chocolate sauce.

 

It took 99 pages and almost 5,000 comments for someone from DTG to actually respond. Lol.

 

and thus, the legend was born

 

We are almost there!

 

who knows, maybe DTG will make a special easter egg in commemoration of this thread having 100 pages on some new route or sth

 

Have we run out of things to talk about?

 

I think the minute we hit 100 pages dtg will close this thread

 

A special 100-page commemorative livery

 

Just before this thread reaches 100 pages I would like to say a quick word

#FixSteam

Thanks

 

#MoreBRBluePlz

EDIT: Still about 15-16 pages left if I counted correctly

 

which would be just Enough is enough written in white on jet black loco and a lot of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! afterwards

 

oh hell no

 

i like how we ran out of things to rant about and are now just chatting lol

 

dont worry, give it time, something will eventually arise for ppl to rant about

 

Holy crap this thread is still going? 99 pages and over 4900 posts



People really will rant about anything lol

 

who is it gonna be who pushes this over the edge of 100 like the velociraptor from this legend of a video?

 

7 more if my calculations are correct

 

Some people seem to have a lot of time on their hands. I wish I had more.

 

We need DTG to announce their summer routes and/or TSW5 to give this thread new meaning, something juicy and controversial.

 

I wish there was a dislike button. Entitled to the post, just vehemently disagree.

 

3 now

 

2 more. I have made it my mission to get the 100th page post

 

Let's push it to -3!

 

this might be it

 

We almost have it. this message might be it
