Nostalgia is a weird thing. I was playing at like 20fps on a shitty Lenovo laptop back then, with keyboard and mouse controls, but I remember it so fondly. I still enjoy the game with my 2070 and g27 setup, but its like the magic isn't there anymore.

[@kiryukazuma88]

I used to play it on an old Asus laptop of the time, despite low framerates I'd still play it on high settings, with keyboard and mouse controls, and it's funny because I remember that so fondly too. Now I have a Logitech G29 setup with a shifter, and a pretty beefy PC to run it (more than enough for ETS2 anyway), but I get what you mean, the nostalgia factor lies with when I played on the laptop, I suppose it's probably to do with it being what got us to where we are now, and how things were simpler and new to us back then.

When I've first discovered ETS 2 in 2012 or 2013 I didn't like it , I was rolling over at every curve , the traffic was more stupid than in 18 WOS , less options than in 18 WOS... I think I've played just one delivery , and than I've erased it from my PC and I've gone back to 18 Wheels of Steel Haulin. After a few months I've played again ETS 2 at a friend. Since then I've played ETS constantly , I started at least 5 profiles from scratch and I've made all of them at least level 50. I lost them because PC's broke. Just on the current steam profile I have about 3000 hours playtime in ETS , level 224 , over 1 million km driven , all available drivers and garages (excepting Iberia because I haven't bought it yet), over 800 trucks , almost 3000 trailers. The game has evolved quite much in 10 years , from 9 different truck models and types aviable to buy to 18(19) , to be able to buy trailers , to be able to raise/lower suspension and windows , to use retarders , engine brake , cruise control at the speed I choose, to block the diff , to raise one axle of truck/trailer etc. I'm surprised that SCS still keeps updating mostly for free this game after all this time , some other games are not getting updates after few months and you need to buy a new version evey year.
