Can't wait to try this, I know it's going to be good. I've been playing this game since it came out and I've bought everything released for it to date, I wonder how much I've spent.

So do you design the train routes, drive the train, or just sort of watch a simulation of pre-existing train routes? All 3?

What? No, of course not. You click on the big green button that says add to cart, then you give steam your credit card info if it doesn't already have it, and then you wait for the next piece of DLC to come out.

Gotta buy em all!

I looked this up on youtube and it seems to be a game about just literally about keeping a train going in a straight line:

What do people actually get from this? If you like trains so much, why not become a train driver and actually get paid for it? In addition to the financial savings you'd also have the thrill of, you know, being able to drive actual trains?

I don't think they let autists operate dangerous heavy equipment as a general rule. Didn't that one train crash in California because the driver was texting some train sperg?

These kinds of games are played by train operators in their own time. I don't get it either.

From later on in the same review

quote:

The reason I cannot recommend TS2014 is confidence. Every autumn there is a compulsory relaunch of the product, Its called a “Free update” and in general it carries new ways to monetise the software, some new bugs and a few “bread and circuses” changes, the important part of this is the software changes and unless you want to isolate yourself from ever using the product again you have no choice in accepting it. [EDIT: On the 6th Jan my last working copy of TS2013 was automaticly upgraded bypassing Steam disabled automatic updates, It appears its not actually possible to prevent the update at all, only delay it by a few months. the updates are fully compulsory, as a customer you have no choice]
Because things change every year it has completely smashed my confidence in the product, how long before it becomes intentionally or accidentally unusable? There is no way of knowing if all the hours that may have spent on scenario creation or weeks of gaining achievements or months on route building or the considerable amount of money spent on DLC will just be wasted or unusable a few years down the line.
I find this single aspect utterly demoralising, I simply can no longer be motivated to spend time creating something that may in future be taken away from me without my consent, in this sense its a self fulfilling prophesy.


The release of TS2014 has turned a flawed but enjoyable entertainment (TS2013) into my biggest ever regret, I feel like I have been conned. All the hours I spent making scenarios and routebuilding in TS2013 have been wasted because I have been forced to "upgrade" to TS2014.

Not recommended, unless you are a masochist.

Now although this has been an excellent rail simulation game since I bought it back in the RailWorks 2 days, and have spent many hundreds of pounds worth of DLCs. However the last 2 years has been a significant downfall for DumbFail Gaymes (who I shall call here).
