DylanC Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I’ve never understood the appeal of Euro Truck Driver or super realistic Flight Sim like games. It just sounds so boring to me. I used to work with someone who - on his weekend off - would fly from Heathrow to new York.... in REAL TIME! Sounds as entertaining as watching paint dry, personally. But, hey, more power to you if you find joy in an experience like that! killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 The last Sim game I played was on a Windows98 system. It was Sim Farm. I haven't played a Sim game since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that the experience would be quite inferior compared to the real thing, but maybe it still helped him to feel at home or something.

For someone like that, I could kind of understand, in that it could be seen as a form of practice for flying real aircraft. Though the person I knew didn’t fly real planes, as far as I new, anyway. But like I said, if you enjoy those games, it’s all good! Different strokes for different folks, I guess. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what made me lose interest in games like the Sims after a while because if I want to live a great life, I need to focus on bringing it into reality rather than achieving it in a videogame.

skyfire Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 These days there are few puzzle based games that I just can't get to understand the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
