LOL very true. But apparently SCS software is working on a new physics and graphics system for Euro Truck Simulator 2. I'm looking forward it
Frankly I'd be happy to just be able to play Rig N Roll for more than 5 minutes

Check out the SCS software facebook page for more info.

I never liked Euro Truck Sim. Maybe it's because most European trucks look the same to me. They are cab-over trucks for the most part, and I hate those types of trucks.

Yeah, most of the trucks in Euro Truck Simulator are the same, unlike in Rig n Roll, where there are many different trucks. That is one of the best parts of the game.

Tell me you're joking. Rig'n'Roll is far more detailed than the 18 WoS series. Plus it wasn't created by a crappy developer that doesn't know how to do interchanges the right way.
Sure. The 18 WoS Series was more moddable. But it still lacks the detail of this game.

Details mean absolutely ZERO when the gameplay is as bad as RnR.

I'm not a trucker in real life but here is my gamer's point of view :

18Wos Haulin compared with RnR

1. 18Wos has multiple warehouses in cities.
2. 18Wos cities are less "Highway" cities.
3. Trailer handling and delivery contract are better in 18Wos.
4. Cars are driving faster than the truck in 18Wos
5. Managing your truck fleet is better in 18Wos
6. Tuning your truck is better in 18Wos.

.... I'll stop cause I can add several points (traffic lights, police system, CB system...) where my gaming experience tells me that 18Wos gives a lot more satisfaction than RnR.

PS : concerning the graphic details - 18Wos takes 340 Mo on your HD - RnR takes 8 Go on your HD ==> I won't tell what could be 18Wos if it was a 8Go game.
PPS : If you add that the point where RnR should be strong (the racing system) is also full of bugs (Example : you're third of four... then some miles after the system tells you : you're fourth of four.) then it's simple : a beautiful package with a big shit inside. It's still beautiful before you open it. And here it's more like "they took an old shit (King of the road), made a new 3D engine and the package was done"

[gg14870]

Yep, and it took them six years to re-package.

[USA Trucker]

I think both games are satisfying, depending on what you're looking for at that particular time. But this thread is called "RnR vs King of the Road". So could we please stay on topic. If you want to discuss another game Vs. Rig 'N' Roll, then please create a new thread.

For it’s time 18WoS (American Long Haul) was a good game, and I thought, and still do like the graphics. An epic failure in graphics is a bit harsh. Maybe you just expect too much. At least it has traffic lights, and the trailer works properly, and you get to do all the things that a real trucker does. Like backing up your load, and parallel park. This is where RNR went wrong. You can also drive at a leisurely pace without a time limit.
