Started playing Eurotruck Simulator 2.
How is this good for you? Driving a car stresses me out. Why do you like driving a truck!? You're built different.
It is very different from driving a car IRL, that stresses me out too. There just is something extremely calming, and satisfying, about driving on the digital roads, especially at night, and getting the cargo where it needs to go.
I tried a few Times, could never get out of the car Park.
I know it's a patience issue,but how do i get in to it?
The hard part is getting hang of the controls, I think. First set the mirrors and seat etc. to a position you feel you can see outside well enough. There is a setting, you can use to put the side mirrors to always be visible as panels, I recommend that when starting.
I also straight up recommend getting a steering wheel to play it. I have a cheap one, and even that vastly improved the experience. I played with a keyboard and mouse before, and it was extremely difficult, since just the slightest hand movement would send the truck rolling on the highway, even when tweaking the sensitivity settings. It did take a lot of tweaking too, to get the steering wheel to work the way I wanted to, but it is worth it.
The game also has the truck driver's lessons, which I played some, before starting the actual game. That helped a lot, with getting better with the controls.
Now, I think the game itself just is not for everyone, since it is "boring", and really does require patience to learn, and to play. If anyone wants something action packed and quick, it is definitely not like that, so do not feel bad, if you just cannot find enjoyment in it. A very calming, zen vibed experience, in my opinion.
Thanks,i'll give it another Go.
I know it IS meant to be more than a "destroying Mountains of pallets"Simulator....
