SCS Software is by far my favorite game developer. The beauty they manage to create, the so realistic world that when I'm driving through Hungary and Romania I RECOGNIZE where I am, the smallest details they went into is just mind blowing. Simple and realistic (and if its not realistic enough, u can flood it with mods).

I can't agree more, SCS is one of the best developers in the games industry. Every update and DLC they put out, you can feel the love and commitment they have for this and ATS. I have brought their games right from the very beginning (18 Wheels of Steel), it blow my mind, and they've been blowing my mind ever since. I just hope I live long enough to see the last of the DLCs, to see the game in its full glory. Fuck that, I'm taking my computer and internet connection with me when I die. LOL

I believe, that adding a multiplayer played quite a significant role for its popularity - in the early days, it was quite lonely to play all alone, then TruckersMP appeared in 2014 and now SCS made their own multiplayer

I can't be bothered with convoy either as I don't feel like having 7 other people on the map really changes the way you play. Maybe if I had a bunch of friends that also played but even then like I really can't what I'm going to get out of it over just playing single player.

i know that this is a truck sim, but i play ETS2 with my friends for driving a "car" long distance. This is literally the only game that allowed this gameplay.

The LC 200 is good, but the facelift VXR kit make the rear signal light reversed. The X167 GLS is also a good mod, but there is a big mercedes logo bugged just on top of the car. The GLE i think its the latest V167, physic good, handling okay, but the car 3d dimension is very very wrong, its way too big. Overall distance from Iceland to Saudi without counting the ferry, and convert it to real scale its only around 600km. Everyone should try it.

You mentioned about them constantly updating the game with new features and DLCs, but one more thing they're doing right now is reworking from scratch the older areas of the game, those from the base map created back in 2012, to look unique, realistic and with today's level of quality just like the newer DLCs. How cool is that!

Smart. If the foundation is sound, occasionally rebuilding that which is above ground is the smartest thing a developer can do. Instead of trying to milk the same players yearly for an almost identical game with questionable changes, they follow the 'if it ain't broke' philosophy which makes everybody happy except for greedy CEO's and Investors.

ETS2 has been a top seller on steam for so many years. Such a great game, i love it

I use this game as therapy. If life goes poop sometimes then this is where I find myself relaxed and calmed.

I've been playing it since the beginning, in fact I was a ETS1 player and for me, the biggest reason of this game success is the relationship between devs and community. The devs are always supporting and working on the community requests and everything they do it's with much care, respect and appreciation for the game. That's why I've bought every single DLC even being unable to play them all, to support this awesome company that gave us the best sim game ever

SCS started off with this project with under 20 people (SCS is now up to 200+ and still has no debt) and you could only buy the game in physical format. I had a question due to owning two PCs at the time and asked do I need to buy the game twice - one for each PC (I think I now brought the game over 15 times) and they emailed me back in great English saying our English-speaking person only works part-time and I get a full reply back in X days.

I loved the poetic approach on describing what this game really is. This is proof that games are not just entertainment, but also therapy. I love this game and it's the one I always keep installed, whilst other games, I play them and then delete them once I'm done with the main story or so.

the fact that it's relaxing is a big plus because with most games having some kind of "pro league" or ranked scene a game like ETS2 or ATS a player can sit back relax and just play no pressure

Some weekends when I have nothing to do, I dress up in my good clothes, sit at my office and play ets2. I'm 22 and have been playing the game for more than a decade. To me this game is above everything that I have ever played. Because of it's simplicity, development and realism that it has. I bought my mac studio for work and as soon as I realised that I can play ets, I immediately downloaded it. I guess it's the fact that you can see your native town where you were born and for me living in a foreign country, it's a bless. Plus, as you said,it's therapeutic.

I love playing ETS2 on my Steam Deck not only because it’s an excellent sim with a vast world, but I find it really relaxing. Just driving and seeing the countryside pass me by, it puts me in a good headspace. I tell my partner it’s my “brain turn off game” because I play it for a half hour or so before I go to bed. I think ETS2 is proof that a game can be relaxing and calming without being boring.

Enjoy the small screen while having the eyes of a young man. :) Even with reading glasses, using a smart phone is annoying.

One other thing that bring players back to this game are the World of Trucks events where you can play in single player along with all the community to realize a goal such as deliver Christmas presents. If you partecipate in this free events you are awarded some esclusive cosmetic DLC (usually a livery and a cab ornament). There is also a timed event at the release of each new DLC to explore the new zone so I often buy them at day one. SCS is one of the best developer for community management, and for pricing policy: they choose a business model to release trucks and game updates for free, and sustain development trough map DLC, trailers, and cosmetics and the pricing and schedule of release of both ETS and ATS is really affordable.

Its officially a series lets go 🔥

It is ❤️

For reasons that I cannot explain, this game will never seem to bore me forever Apart from the possible occasional burnout of course I've been playing this game since about October 2015, & despite all the time that I've been mostly consistently playing (& building so many as roughly 5.8k hours) it's still almost just as generally relaxing as it was first starting off. Of course the main difference is these days I know a lot on how the game works. Granted that plus the fact I play with hundreds of mods on singleplayer profiles. But nonetheless, this game for me is just the perfect match you could say. It's the most played thing on my Steam profile to this day and likely always will be If you were to mix in attending large-scale events on the third-party servers for TruckersMP, if they're planned out quite well those can also prove quite fun surprisingly. Even though in my opinion most the drivers in the busy areas on their servers are, shall we say not the most behaved Someday I even have plans to try driving lorries first-hand as a job which may partially be from this game. Have gotten all the required things done to drive them so just waiting for the good chance at this point, but also. Put simply, vehicles & especially lorries like in this game (or ATS too) are a special interest of mine. When you mix in mods with DLC's the amount of customization options available can be so insanely specific. There's quite a lot on this game which in ways I can't explain never become boring, ever. The map mods, trailers, accessories, it all adds up when they're so well balanced

I just love playing this game with friends while listening to the radio and just talking about life and all

Love to hear the Space Engineers sound track in the background

the main attraction point of this game is the main game loop. As you said in the video it is just driving from point A to point B with some goods on the/your trailer. But, especially with all the DLCs, the world is so huge that it never really gets boring driving through the scenery. The diversity of goods to deliver is another point - for some freight you have to change your driving according to the length of the trailer to be a bit more cautious. There are plenty of narrow roads to navigate through with care, which can be quite thrilling - and at the same time it is so relaxing to drive the highways or the autobahn. The latest additions like scenic points, hidden roads to discover and points of interest where you have to take a picture are fantastic, too. I always search on the map for these and try to plan my route to get them :D This is the game that got me buying a wheel, too. That changed the experience immensely in a positive manner. I play this game since 2014 with close to 1,000 playing hours. Sometimes I take a year off, but I always come back to discover added features with newer versions :) I wonder if the game won the "Labor of Love"-award by Steam, yet? It should!

ETS 2 has been with me through 2 life changing heart breaks, I'm talking about "having to rethink my whole life and future plans" type of heart break. it's probably my favorite meditation game ever since I got into gaming as a child

ATS and ETS are so much fun and relaxing. I literally have every AAA game possible, but the only game that I have the maximum hours is ATS

Man this game is the bee's knees. I have been playing ETS since release and continuing with ETS2 and ATS. Started in high school, i graduated university 2 years ago. Still playing. Conwoy with your buddies is one of the best fun you can have.

Great video, I agree 100%! Something you didn't talk about is multiplayer convoys (built-in or through a mod), it can be really fun and I advise every player to try it :)

I'm playing ATS and ETS2 weekly. I have a rig to just play it. It is extremely relaxing, like meditating. After a couple of hours of highway, you are one with the universe.

I've played ETS2 since 2013, and i can asure, this game is a masterpiece. I've played most of these years without mods, and when it started do be a little bit boring, i just download a mod and boom, something light up on the game and i start to play it again. Here in Brazil, the game community is pretty big and have a lots of trucks and brazillian maps that are very real and interesting to play with. And after all, when im sad, happy, angry, hungry, or just dont wanna be beaten up on R6S or BF4, i just open up this game and do a few deliverys on Germany and all the good things from this game hit up.

One important thing this video missed is the music. The radio stations are better than satellite radio and its free. Awesome selection, and almost no commercials.

It’s not just these reasons, it’s the fact that the multiplayer mod for this game is just freaking awesome, taking a drive through calais and listening to the voice chat never disappoints!

Couldn't agree more mate. The mods make the whole experience way better but the vanilla game is still really enjoyable. I have a question, where can I find the maps mods with Africa and other continents? I haven't bought any map DLCs yet but I want to. Currently I want to explore the vanilla map before buying the DLCs.

As a most likely future truck driver irl I love this game, I started playing it few years ago now I'm 17 in april 18 and most likely as my future job I see myself as a truck driver, for me this game was a escape from reality in this world we live in. Its such a beauty exploring a countries of EU I'm from Balkan so ofc when they added "West Balkan DLC" I was so hyped to play it and every time I hop on a game it just brings joy to me. I currently have 4.800h on this game and as you said the realisam and simplicity of this game just is enjoying as a hard core simulator guy. Even more when I was around a 500h mark on the game I was just forced myself to go get wheel from the store and even more enjoy realism of this game. Love the vid and hope that ETS community will still on be growing through the years! Keep trucking! 💪

I've seen this game all the time but, I never really gave it a good look. I'm sure it's gonna be dirt cheap when the autumn sale hits. I loved snowrunner and after watching this video I'm pretty sure this one will be in my library very soon.🙏👍

ayy, I can use small roads??!! I never knew that, I was badly trying to get a very challenging experience.

i bought this game from the steam summer sale (aswell as ATS) 2 years ago and ive loved my experiences in both games as well as the constant DLC/updates the games get

I've played this game since I was 11 years old. I am now almost 23 and I still come back to it when I have the time. Truly a masterpiece.

One thing I like is that ETS2 (and the similar ATS) continue to receive updates and new content, both paid and free. If you want to expand your map, you can pay for as much or as little map expansion as you care about. As SCS has grown bigger over the years, they are now able to start releasing updated trucks with increasing frequency. I also feel like as time has gone on, SCS has only increased their standards of realism and graphics. As a non-European, I also liked being able to drive around and get a little simulated taste of what these European countries are like.

this game did so much over the covid times like lockdown. we regularly had 50 strong convoys from our own company and we held events with up to 250-300 people from all over the world. this game has 1500 hours for me and i still play

Despite not being a semi driver myself - I am a huge sucker for vehicles that can carry literally everything, and thanks to modding - you can somewhat safely use roadtrains in there, because in reality - trailers bigger than HCTs are completely forbidden in Europe, but the game does not have restrictions for that - you can just go with it and legitimately deliver cargos with no trouble if you know your paths and your vehicle.

I've been using this game to either relax, or to help with how to use peddals/gearstick and wheel .. mostly to do 'Clutch and gear' control for a driving test, and it is helping out a lot!

Honestly, for me what makes me always come back is just the laid back feeling of hearing a powerful diesel engine purr on the background while I enjoy the scenery when doing a a delivery. There's some sort of relaxing vibe about this and and American Truck that's just there and no one can deny it.

It's a perfect game for chilling. You drive around while you listen things, podcast, books.

It's one of the games that I played with crack when it launched and bought it on a steam sale just because I liked it so much and wanted to support the devs. It got better over the time and a lot of features was added and the mods just made it even better. Also, the multiplayer (truckersmp) is also splendid and playing with friends is an awesome experience (even with just the base game multiplayer). It's one of the games that makes you want to buy a steering and pedal setup just so you can drive more for hours and hours and it's really therapeutic.

I remember starting playing during one of THE best events of ETS 2: The Genoa bridge event! I was impressed by the scale of the event... And it was so fun!!! More and more countries are being add, they are upgrading the old maps... This is a very good game investment

Straight to the point! Amazing graphics, amazing physics, relaxing, you can simply listen to music or some podcast and enjoy driving.

Having been to Europe twenty times to ~30 countries and having driven many of the highways and roads in the game, I really enjoy ETS2 and its continuously growing and updated content 👍

there is a short out there of a trucker pulling over for a break, just to start up his pc and play ETS 2. Its relaxing.

Nice

SCS are an incredibly dedicated company who actively listens to their community and adds what they ask for (usually - I'm still waiting for them to update the UK because the map is still from UK Truck Simulator released way back in 2010), constantly tweaks the engine to make it as realistic as they can, while apparently always trying to make modding as easy as they can. Just recently they've added used trucks to the game while revamping the damage model, which means it makes more sense why you can still buy trucks that ended production just after the game came out, and adds a whole new layer to the early game. I can't wait to see what the modding community does with that.

Best thing is that you can listen to irl radiostations via the game. Truckers fm is also very nice just like truckersmp

not to mention the customization is very extensive with DLC's and Mods but from the get go its very customizable too, together with events that unlock special customizations and leveling up to earn certain customizations(when you start playing in a new save slot)

love this game as i don't drive in real life and find it relaxing great vid

i started playing ETS2 many years ago and i stared with just my keyboard now i have an enitr rig problably one of the best games ive played in ages

Everything you say is true... I never thought about it as a therapeutic game though, but that's also very true... I have three games to escape my reality, ATS/ETS and Snowunner.. all about trucks and beautiful landscape.

You’re not wrong. I had this game in my library from a sale over two years ago. I just installed it yesterday and I can tell this will be a perfect Steam Deck in bed game.

The real reason is the meticulously detailed game world. Back in the pre PS3 days you just see sceneries and roads pop-in out of thin air. Today the processing power allows maximum draw distance to be achieved, and instead of chasing "RTX RAY-TRACING ULTRA SHADERS 4K" the developers simply polishes the technology of 2012 to deliver what the best they can achieve with the engine. And it worked.

This reminds me of the fun times I had in Elite Dangerous, just going out into the galaxy and mining or exploring. (I have some of those videos on my channel) Sometimes good games don't need fast action or complex mechanics. Just go and enjoy it.

I´ve been driving through Europe with my minivan and my dog(s) for a couple of years now. I´m not very interested in the trucks, I just play the game to revisit all those places and have a preview of the trips ahead.

The BGM of Space Engineers is wild! Bought back some good memories!

I'm busy so much that I miss giving my time to this game, it's like I'm playing while escaping the stress and emotions and just enjoying the sceneries, roads, engine sounds, and traveling. I love this game

Been playing their games since 18 Wheel of Steel: Pedal to the Metal. SCS games keeping the little boy in me alive.

Things I would like to see in it in near future- 1. Working fog lamps 2. Resting animation 3. Character walking free roam and hooking/unhooking trailer and checking truck 4. Random truck breakdown like puncture

I have nearly 2K playing time in ETS2. It’s just so relaxing. You pick up an order and drive it to its destination. Through the settings you can make it as easy as you need or as challenging as you want by changing the realism settings.

6:59 it’s a me, Mario!!

Lot of buttons, perfect controllers and peripherals support, many of them togheter, button box, mods, community, beautiful semi and scenery.

very nice explanation, but you also have to give a point to third party addons like truckersmp, a massive mutiplayer with millions of people registered via steam acc that uses the whole map with routes that literally get jammed for hours , theres also stuff like Trucksbook wich is a Virtual company web that takes the miles youve driven in game and logs it there and theres a ranking with like 20.000 people logging miles every month just in ets2 some even spending 10's of hours to be at the top, also the people you meet when you join tmp and a virtual company ive had some good friendships come from this game, dont forget also about american truck simulator wich might not have the same number of players but still with dlcs its already at like 45% of america in the game and its also really fun to drive on that game, great video!

Fisrt time I played this game was back In 2013. I was in college at that time. I didn't even know I could run this on my basic laptop. To my surprise, it ran very well. Growing up as a kid in India, I always liked to sit in the front seat of the bus to feel like driving the bus. And when I played this game for the first time, I was hooked. I was skipping college to play this game LOL. Most of the time, I was just running an empty cab to accelerate quicker. And not to mention the DLC to override the speed lock. Man, it was so much fun and relaxing. That ultimate POV driving view is what makes this game so good.

god i love the space engineers theme song

Have been playing this game since a decade. It’s the same game as it was then but feels different with the updates, events and dlcs. Ultimate therapeutic experience. Get a good wheels, pedals and head tracking gear, you’ll forget the world and become a truck driver.

you forgot they also have very regular events, where players can earn fun/cool goodies for thier trucks which always seem to bring back players that put the game down for a few months. hell they went above and beyond this year creating an entire seperate map just for the christmas event. i took a 2 year break from the game but have refalled in love with it, they just been adding so much to it lol

Pengambilan gambar, kualitas suara serta resolusi sangat baik, sekelas film bioskop. Cukup terkecoh melihat VW Beetle split window, sangat langka dan biasanya hanya ada di generasi tahun 1940 akhir - 1950 awal. Mantap Kahf!

I am not Truck fanatic irl. I am playing ETS 2 since 2013-2014. It's like therapy, you can spend hours with it and its really like therapy to drive around Austria and Scandinavia's beautiful scenery, map modelling is in top-notch, details, and quality is awesome. Sounds of game, nature, ambiance,interior, and animals adds nice atmosphere. and highly detailed interior and exteriors of trucks is perfect ( when you open windows of truck small button have animations at doors) weather dynamics is also good. Brands and companies have deep features. their logos is designed well, there is lots of companies, all companies have suitable places what they produce, same company have Cyrillic text at Russia, latin at Germany for example. every country have its own license plates at cars which is accurate as irl. Tuning of Trucks is top level, both exterior/interior with the DLC s you will get more. having Licensed trailers is something blows my mind, you can think that trailer is just trailer not important part of game, but they have couple of real life licensed brands for trailers. AI of traffic is also good and improved. Diesel prices changes in different regions. Economy of the game is good. you can really enjoy while working for your career/company all features works like charm. there are a lot to say about ETS 2 but these are the main things made me fall in love.

I started playing ETS2 halfway through my 9 months course becoming a truckdriver in Norway. Never stopped, haha. I do play less tho, as I get most of my truck driving fix from doing it IRL x)

great video : ) !

I play it for relaxing almost 2 times a week since i have a busy days. Everytime they launch a new map dlc i instantly buy it and start driving. Such a lovely game, i have been playing it for 10 years.

I'm a truck driver in real life in Europe, I mostly drive between NLD, BEL, FRA and England, let me tell you I never have to work again. I got my first steering wheel setup for my PC for Christmas when I was little and I've been playing ETS2, Hard Truck II, OMSI and NFS since then. At the age of 23 I just got a 2022 Renault T480 almost brand new truck so now I can play ETS2 in real life, the only difference is if I crash here there is no ESC button. Other than that I simply look at this entire job as a pc game but now with real steering wheel, real buttons, real pedals and real traffic. Trucking is probably the coolest thing ever, I can sit 8-9 hours a day and watch Netflix while transit through Germany and getting payed 2000-2500 euros a month for basically playing ETS2.

I play this game and listen to KZread videos or podcasts while smoking my shisha and time flies by so fast its almost scary. If I'm stressed the combination of these things (ETS, YT Audio and Shisha) is a guarantee to calm me down

SCS absolutely nailed this one. The game is so relaxing, and there's enough space to make it borderline crazy by trying to defy the laws of physics. The menu music is weirdly soothing and impressionable. Unfortunately the mods can fail with updates.

I download this game for first time in 2023 and I fall in love with how the game makes me field. I like to lisent a podcast when I drive, and push me the idea to I take the truck driver license as a back up of my career.

as someone with close to 2000 hours in ets2. it's just a game where you can hang back and chill. it has a certain vibe to it that makes me calm down. the 3th party multiplayer also helped alot when the official one wasn't out yet i think.

almost 300 hours in this game played and somehow keeps me wanting to play more i discovered this game really late in 2021 if im not mistaken and ohh boyy i love this game.

I played ETS a long time ago when the graphics was only so and so. Fast forward 2020 onwards. I still play it and now with better everything. I also got a full cockpit with direct drive for ETS2, iRacing, ACC etc. With ETS2, I don't know but its fun. Some days you wanna just decompress/destress. And drive a truck online with local radio playing. Something soothing about it. Or joining TruckersMP and drive with other drivers online. I elevated it by equipping a Quest 2/3 VR on my set up. And it really feels like you are literally in the truck sitting infront of the steering wheel. Id have sessions where I drove one of the longest route following road signs and traffic lights. I was there driving for 3-4 hours with VR goggles.

..... Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Начинал играть еще с "18 стальных колес", потом, когда ЕТС2 вышла, несколько лет ездил по игре первых версий, где была только Германия, Бенилюкс и по одному городу Польши и Англии. И даже так-мне нравилось! А уж потом, когда обновил игру и стал использовать моды... Как многие писали-эта игра лучшая, как способ медитации и раслабления! Как и способ ответить на вопрос-"что там, за горизонтом?"

i played this back in 2013 because i had a terrible pc i used for school and it was one of the few games it could actually run, sometimes if class got real boring i would launch ets 2, remap steering to the mouse buttons, put on cruise control and lean back in my chair controlling my truck with my mouse and just never slow down 😂

It's a sim, it's good, it's therapy, it's unique, and there is nothing better. why would it ever die.

I definitely play this game a lot just to relax, put on the radio, pick the longest delivery possible and just go for hours :)

Also, with the newer DLCs ,this applies to ATS aswell, the mapping standards became incredibly good. It basically doubles the game as a virtual sightseeing simulator

I "tried" ETS2 last year and ATS a month ago and it's oddly relaxing. I thought first it might be pretty boring, but this games can be very challenging and have a lot of dept and I use it to calm down, it's a wonderful stress relief for me.

I love ETS2 and ATS, as you and almost every comment has said, the beauty of the game is the therapeutic and relaxing experience of driving through hundreds or thousands of beautiful rodas and landscapes. Our modern real world and videogame world is bombing us constantly with stress from work, negative news, action, explosions, enemies to deal with, races and timetrials to beat...that it is nice just to sit relax and drive aat your own pace. Internet radio stations from anywhere in the world and the option to add your own music to the game is a great adding as well. I used to download GTA talk shows and listening them while hauling stuff through Europe/US, laughing my ** off. The mod community is crazy, lights, props, engines, liveries. I usually drive on the road while having Obi Wan Kenobi or Darth Vader on the passenger seat lol.

It the most realistic driving simulator i have ever played, i play it with my G29 with clutch and H shifter

I feel another reason is the Truckers MP Mod that has a big community and events to join or just convoying with your pals with voice chat!

and also the important part of the game is the truckers MP where you can play with friends which is like a multiplayer and it has many events every day and keep on going

Played this game since 2017 and I have 1,600 hours. I believe the mutliplayer mod of ETS2 'TruckersMP has played a major role in it's popularity. As a former staff member of the Game Moderation team of TruckersMP I noticed very well that the player environment attracts many players to feel the experience of actual players instead of AI traffic. But on that server you won't expect simulation very much due to GTA behaviour. I'm not sure if you mentioned or not, but Promods has it's own version of the map which adds way more exploration experience with more realistic roads, this is also implemented in multiplayer however now SCS has about a year ago or 2 released the official multiplayer for ETS2. I agree that this type of game would eventually die out but many of the serious and professional players including me like to hop on once and a while and drive around while listening to a podcast.

I a 100% agree to what you said that no matter your age, you can get into Euro Truck Sim. My father got into gaming when I installed Call of Duty, and it took him awhile to get used to the almost twitchy gameplay (especially multiplayer) and when I showed him this game, he immediately got used to it and could even do a backwards parking pretty on just a short time.
