Why Is American Truck Simulator So Popular?

[@SkulldozeR]

Because it's made with patience, love and care, unlike most other games these games. ATS + ETS are both amazing!

[@travisihs08]

One of the only games I can fall asleep playing. I absolutely love this game after a long day at work

[@ThisisDD]

I don't get it, and I'm trying to understand it. Why would you want to simulate working, to relax after working?

[@48deej]

@@ThisisDD I can't drive all over Europe and America whilst living in Australia..

[@AndyGrouch]

​@@ThisisDD Just try it out and you understand. Its incredibly relaxing experience.

[@mitchs.920]

I get home from driving for a living to play ATS. It is such a joy to get to drive a variety of trucks and trailers in a part of the country where I don't live.

I'm a truck driver and I legitimately enjoy it lmao

[@HanemanHunters]

I used to be a truck driver but I know a person who still is, and I know a few who want to be as well as some who hate the idea of it. And they ALL enjoy that damn game, uncanny :D

[@NatFreeman666]

As a former trucker, I can say ATS offers many of the best parts of trucking (driving, backing, running a sweet rig) without the worst parts (waiting in line at a fuel island, truck stop parking lots that smell like piss, working 16 hours a day, stepping around random bags of trucker poop, racists on the cb radio, being covered in road grime and not having time to shower, completely screwing up your sleep schedule to get a load delivered on time, finding time to do taxes while still driving 11 hours a day, hurting yourself while chaining and tarping, insufficient access to parking and restrooms, etc etc etc). I will say much of the flavor of American trucking comes from the hilarious and amazing people I met in truck stops, shippers, and random outings in the many cities I visited, which is missed. ATS shows us what it would be like to be a truck driver living in a near perfect world, and I think that's pretty cool.

Thanks Chat GPT for this text's video

[@salperez4979]

I built my first PC just to play One game! and got a Logitech Steering wheel and shifter combo! Great Game!

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

Last time I checked they didn't add New York nor snow

[@treyign]

Based off the west coast

[@Robert-no2mn]

Scs are currently working east however

[@watunesochanel]

Nice Video Truk ❤

[@busterbrown1686]

You can't get inside a truck unless your playing in VR in the game. Add surround sound and a Buttkicker you feel it too, Awesomeness.

[@ScourgePrimal]

18 Wheels of Steel is what kept me playing. If you'd played it then you know

[@nsawatchlistbait289]

I'm still torn between ATS and ETS2

[@bigpileofpuke]

They are both regularly on sale for $5 on Steam.

[@jasonkelly8271]

My favorite pc game, I play it every day.

[@nsawatchlistbait289]

You took me way back when you showed road rash

[@putridplatypus8736]

I was looking for this comment. When I saw road rash I couldn't belive it XD. What a game.

[@nsawatchlistbait289]

@@putridplatypus8736 the only ways you can play it now are if you either install XP or you can get it running on Nobara Linux or SteamOS

[@ReniniPanini]

Why is he treating it like there are multiple ATS's

[@travismorabito8253]

“The player is relaxed while playing” Me seeing -$62k: not at all relaxed

[@edgestatic84]

I have not once experienced snow.

[@goduxunike]

You can add it through mods

[@darkwolf-91]

"Most successful projects", yet we have lack of customized dlc for the trucks for ATS unlike ETS2, which has DLC Tuning packs for all there manufacturer trucks in the game expect there newer model's. Don't get me wrong but, I like the game but we need more than a DLC tuning pack for the Kenworth -W900

[@royjohnson225]

I’ve owned it from day one but unfortunately it’s relatively the same game from its initial release. We could definitely use more dept

[@michaelbefumo-qg7ji]

I'm driving real truck, I never played the game I'm seeing it the first time, can you get float gears. I remember why I went to school 15 years ago someone asked me if they simulator like aircrafts. I said no I just put you in and make you double clutch all day

[@DaBoj117]

You can float gears with the right hardware and settings.

[@marcheprovencal592]

I love this game

[@nsawatchlistbait289]

What if ATS and ETS2 were one game?

[@KartikPlays]

When did they put New York in ATS???

[@vialtrucking]

never, they're working from west to east

[@rockerbuck967]

The Coast To Coast mod does that. It's not as detailed as the SCS stuff but if you really want that feeling of driving really long distances, then the Coast To Coast mod is fun.

[@vialtrucking]

@@rockerbuck967true, but coast to coast is really crappy, and most places are just copied and pasted

[@romanpechorin4798]

Why does flight simulator gives you the whole world map but truck simulator can't even give you a real size of a country. Let's the graphics be so so, would be so much cooler if scale was 1:1

[@lifzz-gv1sx]

Flight sim dont have high quality map. Take a closer look on the ground you see the building isnt that detailed as you think. Ats or ets2 has detailed ground and its hard to build 1:1 scale map especially if you include the non road zone

[@lifzz-gv1sx]

Its just not worth the effort

[@lifzz-gv1sx]

Oh yeah not to mention. A 1:1 scale map means a 4h delivery in game is 4h of gameplay irl. Your butt WILL hurt sitting that long

[@Ganslit]

Euro Truck Simulator 2 more popular. But i playing 50/50 ATS and ETS2. And no yet New-York in game.

[@RCmadness888]

Colorado doesnt have snow.....

[@paulrothery6266]

is this game on ps5 or do we only get really bad versions?

[@haristhegamer1222]

Ets2 is 100 times more famous

[@endingtasks8538]

nobody cares

[@tonyelrod295]

LOL, i play both. But I play ATS aLOT more. 😁

[@CaptainRhodes_7767]

Both are equally good

[@WRANGL3RR]

​@@endingtasks8538speak on your behalf , we all care

[@DaBoj117]

The only thing that makes this game good is the freedom of mods. Without mods, the game is trash.

[@IndigoJoe28]

You can say that about all games.

[@WayneKerr69420]

Even without mods its still a good game

[@fokuz2025]

Fr I can't play the game without mods

[@rockerbuck967]

Agreed. But the modders have to keep up with it. I've seen some of the best mods go away just because they've moved on in life, and the game keeps on. If SCS could get more rights to stuff, we wouldn't have to see Walbert stores or trailers lol.

[@katelyn371]

I don't use mods and i play the game without dlc too. I've racked up many hours!
