No, there's a million of these truck or offload sims on the eshop, so many I just assume they're all trash.
Yesterday I did the most epic thing I've ever done in gaming.
So I took 2 trucks across the godamn dam to get to Drummond island. It took so long along the winding road I was exhausted and took a break.
The next thing I had to do was pick up a huge oil rug trailer, the biggest thing you can haul so far in Snowrunner.
It was all fairly okay on the trip back to Smithville dam as most roads were paved.
Then facing the long road back to the drilling site was too much.
So this is what's great about the game, there's a risk/reward mechanic, but it's totally up to you. You set your own goals and plot your own route.
So sometimes I'll choose a different route so it's more fun, or to just see if I can pull it off.
So I took the geographically most direct route. Which involved driving across the river, over narrow, submerged rocks, with no winch points.
Winch points essentially rescue you, should you get stuck, without them you're essentially helpless. So dragging this heavy huge ass drilling rig the size of a small house, my truck didn't have the power to get it over these rocks.
It's a trailer that required a high saddle, the problem being it has these poles at the front and no wheels at the front. So if you go over any kind of small hill, the front lodges on the hill and you can't pull it.
So there I am, detaching the trailer, driving ahead, winching the trailer itself, running out of gas, fighting against raging waters.
And as far as I know, once you lose or tip over your cargo, it stays there until you can rescue it. So I'm thinking if this thing gets stuck in an awkward place I'm never going to be able to rescue it.
I was making no progress. So I got another truck, made the trip behind the rig, across the river on the other side, and jammed it into the back of the rig, hoping it would work.
There was a risk it could overturn and I'd be screwed but the excessive weight of it kept it upright. It shifted forward and I eventually, with much effort made it across the river.
The worst is over, I thought. Except, it wasn't.
There were more hills to climb and a small gap through trees to negotiate, but worse than that there were tree stumps like landmine waiting to get caught on.
Stumps are one of the worst thing in the game, you don't see them till too late, they can stop you in your tracks and damage your truck. I learned a trick through videos, where you can wedge your scout behind a tree and winch over much heavier loads. It didn't work when I tried it, but I adapted it for this rig.
I positioned my 2nd truck behind the rig, winched a tree and heaved this fricking rig over the last hump.
It's a day I'll never forget. It's moments when you drive through two trees where you assumed there was a way through, then have that oh shit moment. And you can't go back.
Is the world persisitent? Would be pretty cool if after a while you're trucking through this trailer graveyard. :lol
We're all proud of you GG!
I think that they've really cornerd the 2-in-1 market for tablets that can also double as a laptop with their orignal Surface Pro line. You only ever see those being used, or iPad Pro's by the Apple elitists. Their other products have to exist alongside OEM competition, so it is only to be expected that they're less succesfull. All of their hardware is very well built, but also pretty expensive when compared to the competition. PC users are just less prone to paying extortionate amounts for hardware than Apple users are I guess.
As for the Surface Studio all in one PC's, they're really a niche product. As with the Surface Pro line they offer something truely unique, but the asking price is just too high, especially considering they're using older laptop parts.
The future of video game graphics? Pretty coolView on YouTube
News: Hasbro Invest $1 Billionin games.
If I was on the board of Hasbro I would be asking questions as to why we've given a billion dollars to a clown that can produce a sentence like this:
"Video games is part of that thing when the comapny says it's going to be focusing on certain things."

We really are going to have to (as a culture) are going to go through a period of un-learning the concept of "seeing is believing" when it comes to video presentation. Some of that was in the uncanny valley (the scene driving through the valley actually).
They went overboard with the motion blur and depth of field effects when driving around. Scaling those back would likely reduce some of that uncanny valley feeling.
Edit: That actual valley made me want a new Motorstorm.
Just saved me $70.
Ooof. That's insane. Game ownership is heading into Blockbuster territory.
I saw Alien in theaters for its 45th anniversary, still a classic. but aliens is still better. I'm going to see The Phantom Menace this weekend, 25th anniversary, I'm taking my nephew who fits the age range for that movie way better than I did when it came out lol.
Did you know a new Beverly Hills Cop is coming out on Netflix in a few months?!
Honestly, after the Coming to America sequel that Eddie did for Netflix, my expectations are very low.
This is why I've been reversing my stance on digital only. God knows it's convenient and cheaper but publishers seem to be getting bolder about how much control they want over your library.
I don't have much faith in that happening these days, though. Maybe they'll shut down one of Elon's favorite games and he'll sue them, lol.
It's from the same directors that did the last one though. I heard that one wasn't half bad.
I don't know how well that would work out. All things considered, Elon doesn't really win very often in the courtroom.
Wtf, Netflix is ending basic membership. Now it's going to have adverts. It's cheaper and full HD and you can stream on 2 screens. But it has ads unless you upgrade to a more expensive option.
Playing Endless Ocean Luminous, 15 min take, awesome graphics, nice shades, depth of field and resolution.
No operatic music, wii like menus, no motion controls.
Saw some mythical creatures which were cool. You're interrupted and guided by an AI voice, would have preferred a decent voice actor.
Haven't played enough to get a sense of its likeness to the first or second games yet.
Everything is persistent, cargo you tip over, things you've abandoned, the last position you left your trucks in. There is a delete trailer and delete cargo option but you can't sell it then.
The game had 2 free DLC trucks, I thought I had to buy them with in game currency, but I was wrong. Quite happy though as having it a bit tough is the Mudrunner way.
