I've gotten addicted to Euro Truck Simulator... T_T

You know, the game where the only objective is to transport goods from point A to point B. However, the game itself is actually really addicting once you get used to the mechanics and the driving. Perhaps it's in my nature to enjoy the more simple and less complex games that are presented to me.

Ever just feel like saying "F**k it, I'm going to go drive
a truck for fun!" I did.

Lately, ever since I've bought the "legit" version on Steam for about $7.50, I've been playing it at least once a day for two hours. The game feels so relaxing, yet keeps your attention as you have to watch for other vehicles, avoid the breakage of laws and keep yourself on the road. Playing with a keyboard makes the game both easy, and yet hard. There isn't much to really control when you're using a keyboard, and it's hard to stay in a lane when the wheel turns entirely around.

It's strangely addicting to drive as a normal person...
rather than given no rules or expectations. 

However, grabbing a simple joystick can not only make your driving seem much more authentic and easier, but it'll also improve your ability to concentrate more on other things as you're driving. If you want to go a step further, just take a steering wheel and a pair (or more) of pedals to get into some real realistic driving. Personally, the game is possibly one of the best games in the simulation genre, with stunning graphics, well-thought out interfaces and features, and quite-frankly, I really enjoyed the idea that there are rules and expectations to follow.

Now, not only do you gain a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment, you also increase your attention span and the ability to maintain patience as you're driving down a long route delivery, or waiting for the traffic to break up.

Perhaps it's weird, but I really enjoy the game, not because of the graphics nor the fact that cars are used, but I love the core value of the game and the fact that all the features are there, no (unwanted) DLC, no stupid/insane learning curve or memorization needed, no unfair routes or impossible missions. Just pure gameplay and enjoyment.

Perhaps, y'all should try the game as well, especially if you enjoy driving or relaxing. Oh, did I forget to mention, they have an in-game radio that allows for use of your music... or internet radios.

Anyways, kind of a personal post, but I had nothing else to write... so what the hell.

Kuroneko.
