Railworks: Train Simulator 2012

There is a game called Train Simulator 2012 and that's not the ridiculous bit. It features incredibly detailed trains for train spotters, real routes for people who hate the way games take them to fantastic new worlds and a full driving simulation for people who dream of a career so boring that real drivers fall asleep even when they know that will kill hundreds of people. Again, not the ridiculous bit.

The ridiculous bit is that this is a game about simulating trains and you have to buy the trains. They're the whole point of a train simulator, if we didn't just blunt every needle in the world by using the word "point" like that, and they cost $20. Each. Railworks has already released over a thousand dollars worth of extra material (and now we've destroyed the economy by using the word "worth").

From my understanding, Trainspotters are genuine Aspies.

Did the makers of this game know that the majority of people who would buy it are mentally handicapped? They'd have trouble making rational decisions when purchasing shit related to their obsessive hobbies?

Fucking duh. Of course they did. They probably employ a fuckton of autismal cunts as developers and pay them peanuts too.

Dunno, I always thought it was pretty obvious you're not supposed to buy all the DLC, just your favorite train (you wouldn't be interested in a train simulator if you didn't know anything about trains, after all)

You guys don't know about model train collectors/builders do you? $1500 is nothing.

Check this out, http://www.walthers.com/exec/sets?how=self&type=0&scale=standard&submit.x=45&submit.y=8, a starting kit goes up to $500 and they have an even higher "premium" selection.

I thought there's a difference between being a train enthusiast and Trainspotting being a "special interest" for people with Aspergers.

This guy's "special interest" happens to be VCRs.

Ours is cRPGs.

Well, I don't think uberaspies would enjoy a simulation of the real thing anyway. The guy who wrote that thinks it's a trainspotting game because he doesn't seem to understand the point of simulators.

I've said it before, but these really are the worst kinds of people. Being butthurt about everything you don't like 24/7 must be a pretty tough job.

But enough about you.

wut

"You are the butthurt one here"

It's a butthurt ouroborous.

I love this game, obviously, but I mentioned that there is one thing I would change. I don't like the damsel mechanic. There's a woman in a red dress in every level who you can transport to the exit to earn a kiss and an extra heart piece. You can also find her in seedy kissing booth shops, where you can buy another heart for a few thousand bucks. Spelunky lets you change the damsel to a guy or even a pug dog, but it still makes me uneasy. Innocently included, it feels out of place in a game that has so deeply understood and overcome many other mistakes that existed in the games from which it draws influence.

When I saw that the Damsel was interchangable in the XBOX version of Spelunky a few months back, I thought "cool, now nobody has a reason to complain anymore about sexism or gender roles in Spelunky".

There's always a special flower somewhere that needs to be stomped on...

Well, this is what happens when you make it possible to turn the hero's political marriage into Pimp My Waifu.

Setting aside the fact that – if a female character is easily interchangeable with a dog then it's probably a pretty good indication that something is wrong – Merely providing an optional gender-swap is not a quick and easy fix, especially where stock character style damsels are concerned.
...
That said I don’t necessarily think equal opportunity damseling is the answer. Simply reversing the gender roles of a problematic convention so that more men are damsel’ed in more games is not the best long-term solution, even if the practice might be subversive in the short term to help demonstrate a very real gender disparity in the medium. Ultimately we need to think beyond the cliché altogether.

Roguey complaining about even more useless shit.

No big surprise there.

 

[Coriolanus]

I don't get it. When we see big muscly guys in games and movies, we (the guys) love it. Same with feminine chicks - they're sexy.

The only people who could honestly find a problem with that are sexually frustrated females and their conformist lackey bunch.

Yes, the bloody platformer needs a epic story-arch, that breaks all cliches and challenge the views of its audience, to provide REAL MOTIVATION for my character! Fuck PacMan, I can't play that, I don't know what I'm fighting for!

I really wish people like that would just FOAD. So much drama over such petty things.

better yet, there should be a minimum IQ requirement for procreation...

Then people will whine that the mentally handicapped have rights too, and forced sterilization is not the answer. Although, there is a compelling argument for preventing those not capable of rational, independent thought from breeding.

Both terririst and troll share the letters T and R, coincidence? I think not.
