Euro Truck Simulator 2 Review // Is It Worth It?!

[@OrdoMallius]

Nothing better than playing Euro Truck Simulator after a long day of driving trucks through the EU. Sometimes I like to get wild so I boot up Forklift simulator.

[@reverendbluejeans1748]

Your aving a turkish mate

[@CowmanUK]

I've been playing this a long time now, along with American Truck Sim (by the same company) and it is a great way to relax. I put my favourite tunes on, pour myself a drink and go truckin'! 🚚

[@13onethree]

So you're admitting to driving while intoxicated... Great

[@CowmanUK]

@@13onethree Haha yes, I don't condone drink driving in real life, but on ETS2 it's actually rather fun!

[@SlavicRS]

But only with a steering wheel and ProMods !!

[@hayerenders4576]

@@SlavicRS I'm happy with my Xbox 1 controller and I drive my none Promods profiles just as much in ETS2, I'll stay more in the south of the map without Promods.

[@browni.1893]

@@13onethree I did that one night. Fell asleep at the wheel and crashed my desk into the fridge!

[@browni.1893]

As a person with 4283 hours playing time over 6 years, and still playing it regularly, yes I would agree it is a good game.

[@panamike6178]

Have you thought of doing truck driving for a living in Europe or in North America? If you've put that many hours into the game, I'm sure you'd love doing it real life too.

[@ShiftedGames]

@@panamike6178 You must not have researched how terrible truck driving benefits/pay is in the last 6/8 years, unless you're driving in a very specific part of the US or are a owner/operator. It isn't as lucrative as it used to be.

[@Omni-kyun]

@@ShiftedGames It must pay more than playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 though right? Sounds like you're putting in the time anyway, despite not getting paid. According to my maths you've played the equivalent of just over 2 years of full time trucking during the past 6 years. Assuming truckers work 8 hours/day, 5 days/week with no vacation ever.

[@reverendbluejeans1748]

Your nuts,

[@charlieplett]

I've played for 10 years, but somehow only have 140 hrs on steam. Actually I've played hacked versions before I bought the steam game like 5 years ago.

[@rag4877]

Got it today for $6, already sunk 8 hours into it. So much fun, easy to get into and just so enjoyable, i see myself wasting alot of my life on this, im already look at force feedback wheels lmao

[@duncanwoodhouse9452]

Your excitement is infectious! Just (this morning!) purchased ETS2 and ATS on Steam on a 75% off sale. I've literally only had about an hour and still getting used to steering relatively straight with an XBox controller. I have a new gaming rig, albeit fairly low specs, that I bought mainly for MSFS. Pushed graphics to ultra on ETS2 and I'm having a ball. Know absolutely nothing about driving trucks, but I'm enjoying learning. Thoroughly recommend, particularly at the current low price for the next few days.

[@Dutch3DMaster]

I had trouble with the Xbox controller (360 one) as well, even a G27 is difficult, it's pretty logical to have steering wheels in trucks being capable of at least 3 times from center left and right. (It's one of the reasons I'm building a simrig using a modified G27).

[@g1g3l]

ETS and ATS go on sale pretty often for 75%. Same with their dlcs

[@VenomLeon-sd2lf]

I've been playing Euro Truck Simulator since 2013/14 and I'm still actively playing it today.

This man just uploaded 2 videos back to back in a span of two days. Talk about dedication. The guy's already equipped himself with an HD camera and a professional mic. Along with a really professional background. Those are 3 things channels usually don't commit to until they get a very strong following. Yet this guy goes all out right from the start of his KZbin video journey. I swear sooner or later you're gonna blow up dude.

[@j7ndominica051]

The current version doesn't run on a potato PC from ten years ago. If you compare what they have now to the original edition or poland, then it could be called ETS3 already. The level of detail and aliasing is geared towards good computers at high resolution. But because the game is in ongoing development, previous versions are hard to find.

[@hayerenders4576]

I love ETS2 and ATS. SCS is now busy updating Austria, hopefully they'll revisit other old map parts as well. It is so relaxing I sometimes get sleepy after driving with some music on 🤣 I play with a Xbox 1 controller and it works well for me, can't use a steering wheel because I drive a truck in real life 🙈

[@Dutch3DMaster]

My dad had the falling asleep behind the wheel in real life due to monotone sounds causing him to loose concentration and then sleepy. He thankfully doesn't drive a truck, but he once veered off on the highway. Other than that my dad is an excellent driver but that was a bit scary (I was still a child when that happened, someone honked to warn him and he was wide awake again. He had only been driving for 45 minutes but decided to find the first parking spot along the highway to refresh.

[@hayerenders4576]

@@Dutch3DMaster wow 😮 . I drive a truck in real life and have no trouble. It's only in game it happens sometimes, even with music on. Other games I don't get sleepy at all. Only happens with driving games, even racing games 🙈

[@Brian-sh2gi]

Been playing this game since 2016. It never gets old.

[@Nikolailjo]

I have played ets 2 for 4600 hours since October 2018. I downloaded the demo and fell in love at once. so now I have every single map dlc + Volvo tuning dlc and the interior customization dlc. I probably have spent over 400$ on this game

[@shanky.y]

You forgot the convoys and multi-player mods. 😉 But ye I love this game. Relaxing with friends it's fun to sometimes.

[@blukekbruh]

you know what's makes this game even more exciting to play? Install a lot of mods, especially promods and other map expansions. The routes on the vanilla game is quite basic, and these mods are trying to make them even more immersive. I had around 90 mod files installed on my copy, 24 GB in total, and I still can't get enough with it

[@shfd3832]

Where can i download? Please give me link.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

My map is massive. I can take a job all the way from the southern tip of Argentina to South Korea

[@tonyb2271]

Just picked it up here on 11 May 22. Plenty of fun!

[@LegendRockPlot]

Played this game since its release and still play it I bought my gaming PC for this game got a three monitor setup now steering wheel pedals shifter....run it on max graphics it's epic and new trucks are being added still this game will still be played in another 10 years I bet

[@antwanowens4013]

Wow so cool

[@johnjordan6032]

Worth it? I bought it on sale for like 5 dollars and it’s by far the most enjoyable and educational game in that it greatly enhances your real world driving skills. Yes it most definitely is.

[@predragjo5977]

I downloaded it from Steam a couple of days ago and I instantly fell in love lol. I was never into simulators but this game is DOPE, it is so freakin' relaxing, the physics are so good that driving a truck feels like meditating!

[@kinyerainnoarnolds7281]

I purchased my copy during the Steam summer sales. I'm filled with joy.

[@BWB_Cubing]

not to mention that its discounted 75% like once a month meaning that you can get it for really cheap (like 5€) a lot of the time

[@kimtaewoo7772]

Some additional setting change to make it more fun. Reduce all truck stiffness to zero, you will not be able to do tight cornering in high speed without whole trailer overturn. Put brake at 50%, you have to judge the safety distance for braking before kissing the butt of the front vehicle. Turn off the traffic violation, it is really stupid and unfair as some of the trucks (logger, unbranded or safety truck) will try to race with you and cost you a traffic ticket when you try to overtake them.

[@EngMohamed187]

i love this game since its 1st part and i bought logitech driving force gt and then upgraded to g29 with shifters cause i love driving sims, and this is the most realistic and fun driving simulator i have ever played. the funny thing , no one taught me real driving on my manual car cause i learnt it from these sims starting from city car driving

[@Nodnarb518]

This is on sale for 5 dollars in steam now. Might give it a go.

[@FawinkGaming]

I used to play 10 years ago for a bit but could not get the hang of it. Recently got it back and found it so relaxing that’s it’s now my favourite passing time activity when I’m not reading or doing other real life related stuff.

[@Silverbolt1981]

I just finished a long haul and i saw your video. I hope you are having fun with Euro Truck Simulator 2. It is that feeling late at night when you are tuned in to your favorite station,having a drink while hauling. Game nirvana i call it!!

[@AZG90]

2022 and still enjoying this game very much. I think it's immortal :)

[@_blood_moon_proto_1500]

you know, im honestly not surprised people play this game religiously, i have 40 hours irl time in game, and yea, sure, you are effectively doing the same thing over and over, but the destinations are mostly randomly generated, the traffic, the events the weather is all randomly generated, there is even a day night cycle (i freaking hate night driving, i play this on nights i can't even rest and i don't think my family would be best pleased for me to be truckin at night, so my screen brightness is all the way down so night driving is a nightmare) so this game is dynamic and is pretty much always fresh, the personalisation is also through the roof, i love my scania, honestly, i find the game to be cathartic and the thing is, i would actually like to do it irl if given half the chance, like if someone offered me the money for a garage and a truck saying, pay me back by building a business, i would, i mean sure i would need to get a drivers licence and heavy good vehicle licencing but i mean, thats a given, im a 21 year old who would have prepped for a driving licence had covid not hit

[@iLomeroX]

good job dude 💛

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

This guy has an uncanny resemblance to Ukraine's Zilensky.😁. Back to he topic, ETS2 is absolutely the definition of a ZEN game. I use a trainer and just travel from 1 end of the map to the other and take up delivery jobs in between to spice things up. However the trucks in ATS and just insane and look very muscular while the ones in ETS2 look quite feminine in comparison. Both are absolutely fantastic games in their own rights.

[@michadomeracki5910]

[@JN-hw3uf]

As regards Euro Truck Simulator 2 i want to know is there a damage models on the trucks

[@MobileTech296]

Not visually (some crazy thing in the licensing agreement about the manufacturers not wanting their products to look bad, go figure lol), but the trucks and trailers can take calculated damage while driving or when you have an accident. The more damage the truck has, the worse it will run (stalling, etc..). Ignore it too long and it simply won't start anymore and you'll have to get towed to a garage. Damage the load while hauling it and you'll lose points and money.

[@Cool-Cat1]

@@MobileTech296 There are mods that add "damage" but it's not realistic, as in you have to put the damage on your truck when painting/modifying it. This means if your truck has 25k miles on it and you want to show it you can have some windscreen cracks or some dirt from a paintjob but there is sadly, and most likely never be a dynamic damage model.

[@gameex7395]

If you can't afford to buy a wheel the next best thing is an Xbox One controller for PC (wireless or not). You can drive smoothly without the jerkiness of steering with a keyboard. I use a Wireless Xbox one controller when I can't be bothered to set up my wheel.

What ?? Did you actually pay for this junk ? ten years ago or otherwise ? WHY ?? ok, lets have a look at this in response to the above review - incidentally i did not buy this i am using my neighbours lap top to play the game - ok so anyone in the UK travelling down to the west country must pass through Bristol yet it is not on the UK map anywhere ? What other major towns and cities are missing ?? Some idiot drives into your truck and you get penalised ?? I was on a roundabout earlier and going round in the correct position to exit the roundabout and some idiot drove straight into me and it was my fault ? i got penalised for doing nothing wrong ?? Diverts - sometimes you can drive straight through them unless there is a helicopter there and when you are diverted the game sends you round in a loop just to annoy you and waste time so your delivery is late. we turned all of those functions off as there were too many "timewastes" The concept is great, i agree, the graphics are okay too but the gameplay is shockingly wrong - sometimes the timeframe is suddenly brought forward - i had 5 hours to drive 400KM, 100 KM later driving at max KPH I had an hour and a half ? Totally unrealistic - If you are going to create a game based on real life, make it realistic - otherwise it might as well be based in outer space - no stars - not even in space

[@jese593]

I DONT HOW TO DRIVE

[@Dutch3DMaster]

ETS2 in simple shifting mode is actually pretty straightforward, up to arcade-style steering and gas and brake use. Push the brake or accelerator pedal when your job starts and the truck will start, push the accelerator pedal and you'll go forward, and if you are standing still and press the brake pedal you'll go backwards. You might want to try mouse steering by the way if you only have a keyboard (that's how I started out as well). If there is a simulator that's reasonably straightforward compared to some of the bus simulators that are out there (from which one is made by the same company) this is about as simple as you can get :) .
