SORRY.....

.....it's the constant, weekly, sometimes almost daily updates of the two titles ETS2+ATS.
Which each time take between 5.10 - 20 minutes.


Most of the updates are for multiplayer or some kind of event - I don't care about either.
i.e. 95% of the updates are estimated to be simply pointless for 50% of the users

The surroundings are beautiful, but unfortunately also very sterile & lifeless; everything looks like wallpaper, always the same assets, always the same driveways, the same stereotypical buildings - you don't have time to look around anyway (in the middle of the highway?!).
The "wow" effect is limited - you actually saw it the 3rd time you drove through it.
What remains ?
Drive from A to B.
Point.
> is the game bad? NO ! Would like to give a "medium" thumb here.

>> I'm a 1st hour player, played through them all - no patch or update; are still playable today:
Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel
18 Wheels of Steel: Across America
18 Wheels of Steel: Convoy
18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal
18 Wheels of Steel: Haulin'
18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul
18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Truckers
18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Truckers

POSITIVE
If you like driving a truck, you've come to the right place, not least because of the large number of setting options:
- no fines
- no tiredness
- With the help of employees you will soon be rid of money worries
the MODs also do their part to make the game easier:
- no damage
- no traffic
also for those interested: Euro Truck Simulator
