Disappointed

[pook]

I think that the only solution is total modifiability!! If Softlab not stupid, so give opportunity to complete modifiability. I will say one thing. The game has a basis. Building stone potential, but that's all. I do not think they would be able hardcore real simulator. Failed to correct physics for 10 years! It is hard we can be ready in patches .... I just laugh the developer, what prewiev video talking about physics. The man probably did not complete even primary school to talk rubbish like to shit. Sound is chaos and a headache. How to flush the toilet. Missing walkers / parked vehicles / traffic lights / life / mist / mud / thunder lightning / wind / optimization / support for all gaming devices / TrackIR / strange view from the cockpit is not set manual zoom + not position seats / multyplayer and etc etc etc ... . Base is there. Game world is interesting, but the roads very much roadblocks. Only modifiability as well as stupid game by SCS. But thanks to the modifiability these silly games live. Impossible to modifiability and if not addressed optimization, patches and any bugs, this game will flop ......

But now I've come to conclude it's bad -- the physics suck, and are like Midtown Madness'. (But THAT game DOES have pedestrians!) For instance, in real life, cars usually don't fly up in the air 20 feet or more when hit by a truck.
The AI sucks just as bad -- nobody stops in the middle of an expressway, only to change lanes by turning their front wheels 45 degrees!
The AI sounds are a joke -- all cars sound like they're racing, and sound just the same, whether their difference in speed is 2 or 120 miles an hour, or they're 3 or 60 feet away. (so much for a credible Doppler effect...)
The same goes for the AI trucks, only those all sound like 50 year old farm tractors, that desperately need their tappet clearances checked.
The sounds of the player's trucks aren't much better -- only the idle and sudden full throttle sounds are more or less acceptable, all other engine sounds are just sped-up idle sounds.
So who cares if you can actually watch the driver shift gears? It's a fun gimmick, but I think they should have taken care of the glaring faults before taking the time to implement this.
Talking about drivers, am I correct in assuming the player's driver can only be male???

According to many, this game was supposed to blow SCS' 18 WoS series out of the water. Well, I just started 18 WoS Haulin' up briefly, and have to say it beats R'n'R hands down, except for a small difference in graphics quality, and the extent of the scenery. And it took them 5+ years, rides with actual truckers, and "real" sound recordings to come up with this?
This is no simulation, it's just an arcade game.

I was prepared to buy the Russian version for now, because it's only about 11 Euros, but I think it's not even worth that much. And to think I've been contemplating rigging a real 13 speed shifter, with working air actuators, for use with R'n'R...

and beleive me this is only the stuff u see from the videos posted here. don't even think about spending 1 penny on this coz u'll find even more annoying stuff when u actualy have it instaled. this is by far one of the WORST games i've ever tried. i guess Hard truck 2 King of the Road still remains the best trucking game ever.

1c made one fault and that is release a game 50% of the buyers now don't understand. Cause we are impatient including me
It is a nice game but now you can't configure your options because you don't understand a thing of it. So a lot of things aren't configured to your profile yet, just give it a try when it's out in english.
Some guy translated almost all menu's and now it's starting to make some sense.

Only the missions are a bit difficult cause I don't know what they are asking.

I gave up on this game when they said they ditched Multiplayer to release it quicker then projected. Yeah... How many years was it again? 6 or 7?

My friend and I were waiting for this game just for the multiplayer alone... I mean it would have been the ONLY damn trucker sim with Multiplayer...(Like Sim Multiplayer, not that crap they had with racing and arcade style games) Then bam... They took that away.

I have not played the game at all so I have not one clue on the actual game play on my computer but... I will say that all the video's and stuff lead me to believe that this is a game that USA gamers will be very disappointed at.

I think they should have gone with a more MMORPG style of game with trucking.

Just like how every Trucker Sim game has (18 WoS, The Euro, German and UK Truck Simulator, ect.), you start out with nothing but a cheep truck and hardly any cash then work your way up to make a huge enterprise of a company and own the trucking world.

Well take out the stupid AI truckers and add real life players to the formula.
Now you have actual virtual companies that are real players working together.

Talking about this may lead to a better development of a new Rig'n'Roll 2
I know they won't make a patch with multiplayer, maybe a add-on for more sales, I mean IF they fix everything were asking (and that is a big if, pun intended ) Then there would be 2 very happy Americans buying Rig'n'Roll.

yeah in another 20 years lol, tbh i have completely given up on this game now, they made a big mistake by releasing the game in russian first, how many russians have bought this game, compared to how many english speaking people would have bought it, but now because they released in russian before english, the russians have said how bad this game is, so now english people will not buy it!

Got the US release version. Very Disappointed. No Track IR support, physics are horrible, AI drivers are horrible, rain is not enough to warrant the use of the wipers, the damn police always seem to know if you nicked someone's car, heck the police is "too much policing", they might as well be gestapo or KGB.

My fault is Im a sucker for trucking games... after 18 WOS series, i thought RNR would be like Simbin's GTR series is to trucking games... or maybe Codemaster's Dirt or Grid games. Honestly, its only half a notch better than WOS because of graphics, but its pretty much the same flat and dull trucking game that is WOS. RNR is NOT what Hard Truck or Hard Truck 2/King of the Road were during their time. HT was a game changer. And its a shame after all these years, 1C is only able to come up with a game that's only marginally better than HT by today's gaming standards.

If only I could get a refund.
