The Spiffing Brit has a video on the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIRrYvl0fM8

Doesn't even look like he's using anything too crazy, just basic trading of alcohol and utilizing character skills to buff their killing power.

American truck sim currently spans Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and recently added Idaho (You da ho!) and Colorado.

They already announced the next expansion: Wyoming.

I look forward to when you can retrace the roadtrip from National Lampoon's Vacation.



Looking at the map, I guess Montana might come after Wyoming?

[Caliga]

Nice, I didn't realize they had announced Wyoming but most people suspected it would be next... which is disappointing to me.

I don't give a fuck about Wyoming (sorry pdh )... I want Texas.  I don't even own the Idaho expansion yet, but I'll probably pick it up when it goes on sale next.

[Caliga]

Also, there's talk about SCS splitting their scenery development team in two after Montana (which I agree, is almost certainly next), and then working on two states, and possibly releasing, in parallel.  So like Kansas and Nebraska might come out at the same time as a single expansion, or North and South Dakota.

Sounds reasonable, otherwise it's up to modders to complete the map.

What's not to love about driving 6 hours across Southern Wyoming to get from one crack town to another?

[Caliga]

Sounds reasonable, otherwise it's up to modders to complete the map.

I wonder if the modded maps are good for ATS?  I've tried the ETS2 ProMods maps before and they sucked, though supposedly they've gotten better.

Well people are making a big deal about how the scenery will look really nice and gee I wonder how cool Yellowstone will look...

I thought it was a trucking simulator, not a vacation simulator.

I only ever used Promods, and I think they're good. Of course they're more about refining the existing maps rather than expanding them (though I think they have a Russia add on).

Oh for crying out loud, EA Play ain't coming to Xbox Game Pass PC until next year:

On Assassins Creed games, just got Unity (because setting) and want to try Odyssey.

But I'm mainly spending my time furious at the overly negative depiction of the Revolution and Robespierre

Just read that Alfred is the primary antagonist in the new one and I'm starting to feel personally attacked by these games

After 7 years I finally finished final fantasy 13.
Not a good game.

I've driven around Houston.

There are, or at least were, Promods maps for Italy before the 'real' Italy expansion came out, as well as for Greece, and they were crap.  Like I kept getting stuck all over the place because turns were impossibly tight or road grades too steep.
