The most expensive game in the galaxy?

Most expensive game in the galaxy?

Or, the most epic trailer in the universe

[Graal]

What people seem to miss about this game is that it is truly a game for enthusiasts and/or collectors. A lot of people would like to drive trains, but not everyone can afford to buy a train. Thus, they can buy this game which is as close as you're going to get without actually driving a real train.

The sheer amount of DLC is simply there for collectors. If you're interested in a particular type of train, you buy that DLC. Those you are not interested in, you don't buy. The majority of the DLC isn't even made by the original devs either. It's made by independent creators who then sell it for the game, with a sum of the proceeds going to the original developers. That's also why the DLC is generally so expensive, as they cater for a niche market, a large part of which might not be interested in the particular train you're selling. You can't sell 100s of hours of development time for $5 in a market where maybe 200 - 500 people will buy your DLC.

Either way, train simulation games do not fall within my interests, but I thought I'd just clarify as I've spoken to a few people who are interested in these games and I feel this game gets an unnecessary amount of flak from people who simply don't understand the concept and lure of it.

OK, here's my confession: I have no idea why anybody would play a train simulator. Regardless of what Graal says.
But...
I kinda like the Nancy Drew games and I am a heterosexual 36 yo male.

Totally quotable

Each to their own. But I'm still a little confused about what you actually do in this game. Don't trains just go forward and backwards(rarely) , and at variable speeds. I would love to hear the opinion of someone who has played a train simulator and enjoyed it.

I don't think it's quite as simple as that. There should at least be a few buttons you need to press as well.

It's probably nowhere near as complicated as a flight sim, though.

I can only think of two buttons, Up to speed up, down to slow down. oh and H for horn (how can I forget the Horn button, its the most important button of all).

Same here! A train game..?

I was going to get the previous release for my dad, but then I realized he would end up neglecting his physical train set...

I remember playing an old train sim with my Grandfather and then going through to play with his models. I remember that he had some great plans for his layout and he never got the chance to finish so now its boxed up in our basement.
I should get the new one some time
