Just spent the last 42 minutes trying to park my truck in the loading bay.
Game is a lot of fun. Can't seem to figure out how to use the 360 controller for general controls. Don't mind switching between the two but it'd useful if you could at least use X,B,A Y. Steering with the controller though is very nice.
Oh and traffic seems cool. Some will kindly let you out at junctions others will just keep on fizzing by leaving you to curse your luck at somehow managing to get the truck out without causing a major pile up! (Not sure if that's possible. I'd say collisions would only be minor but still getting the darn thing to turn is so much fun.) Need to set up the music and stuff.

Oh and I'm feeling really chuffed right now that I managed to park. I may have come close on several occasions to losing my mirrors and crashing the truck into other parked trailers but I managed to unload my trailer without a single impact. Pity, I reared ended someone earlier. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Euro truck lol im wanting it. Watching 1 the lads from boards stream it on twitch.

Great game ETS 2, just wish I had a steering wheel instead of an xbox remote.

Which Sim do ye want?

Is the FEAR franchise any good? Are they survival horror or FPS?

It's a horror FPS but I don't think I could recommend it. At the time the GFX were amazing but I tried playing it again there recently and the world just feels weird and clunky and bare.

Deus Ex worth the 2.84?

Oh god yes without a doubt you should pick up the franchise for €6.25 if you can Invisible War still looks good now and there's some good texture mods to make it look even better.

Missing Link and Explosive Mission pack worth getting for Deus Ex?

Ah who am I kidding, I'll buy them anyway.

I just looked up the Explosive Mission mission. I had it in the game by default. It just felt like a regular mission from the game. So, it's good, but can't really think about it as a separate thing.

just picked up FieldRunners 2 for 2.99

Bwahahaha

I used to sell all those Excalibur type sims in my old job, and every time I did I wanted to scream WHY WHY WHY ARE YOU BUYING THIS!?!? WHY ARE YOU BUYING THIS YEAR'S VERSION!?!?!

I once sold a copy of Forklift Driver Simulator to an actual Forklift Driver. That was some existential crisis, let me tell you.

Coming home from work to play some virtual work in the same career path. That man has it made.

I really don't need the Dawn of War franchise pack. But gosh, I want the Dawn of War franchise pack.

The only more distressing transaction I made was selling a train simulator to a guy in a bus driver uniform - like, driving a bus wasn't restrictive enough for him, so he was living his thwarted public transport dream recreationally, instead.

If I think about it for too long, it makes me want to cry into my hands.

Overheal · 16-07-2013 5:08am

Ohhhhh god, UT2004. I must have burned through more hours on UT2004 than I did on Team Fortress 2.

Do I want to do that to myself again?

I was thinking of it too, but is there much people still playing it? I suppose with the sale loads more will start playing...

Overheal · 16-07-2013 5:21am

I think the original UT (UT99) was one of the first games I burned to disc when I got my computer. It was the first, and really the only game of that type that I enjoyed/was any good at.

Everyone should get deus ex at that price, it really is terrific

Another added to my collection. Thank god my download cap is generous.

BizzyC · 16-07-2013 7:57am

I was getting through this sale ok, most of the games on good deals I already owned.

Caved last night and bought Reus for 50% off.
I'm always a sucker for the interesting looking indie games....

I love the game soooo much,I invested in a steering wheel for it

.

Really want to give star drive a go,hopefully it will come down in price today.

degrassinoel · 16-07-2013 9:36am

Stardrive isn't bad, I've sunk a good few hours into it. tricky getting used to the tech trees but it's not bad

There's still quite a few people playing this online as well! A lot more than UT3 last time I checked.
