Tram Simulator Urban Transit Review - Why Does This Exist?

Ойындар

Tram Simulator Urban Transit is such a confusing and obnoxious release that you wonder why it even exists.
It's the tram DLC expansion for Bus Simulator 21 but it isn't. It's barely different but different enough to allow them to release a standalone title.
To get both versions, you need to buy the DLC and own the base game of Bus Sim 21 or own Tram Simulator AND bus Sim 21 to get the additional tram in the DLC. It could easily all be released in one bundle... but no... it's a convoluted mess. Cash Grab?

    To make this as clear as mud: - Bus Sim 21 DLC = 2 Trams - Tram Simulator = 6 trams To get all 8 you need to own a combo of either: 1) Tram Sim + Bus Sim 21 OR 2) Bus Sim 21 + Expansion Pass OR 3) Bus Sim 21 + DLC Why not release all 8 trams (including the missions) as part of the DLC or release all 8 trams into the standalone game? Call me cynical, but to me it’s a blatant marketing ploy to make you think you’re getting something ‘free’ when in reality you are being forced to buy into another product somewhere else. That’s the cash grab.

    The most cost efficient way is option 3 I’d say. You likely have Bus Sim 21 so buying the stand alone gives you everything. The worst way is if you come in and buy the stand alone only (not owning anything else) and discover a bit of the “tram content” is behind Bus Sim 21 so you’d then need to buy the base game on top. It’s so strange in how they went about this.

    @@cockneygamer It is still in early access, but I'd say it definitely improved. It has 4 different bus models now, including an unbranded Mercedes eCitaro, for which these cheeky bastards at aerosoft themselves, uploaded a mod on the steam Workshop adding the logos as textures. It also features like 6 lines now, but you can make your own as you can download custom made maps from the workshop. It does have its rough edges, which is to be expected from an early access title, but it's definitely going places. PS, when exactly do you use "wich" and "which"?

    To make this clear: That clip of the tram ramming the fiat is 100% the cars fault. A tram can't stop in 2 seconds like a car could do. Just like a train they have bigger braking distances and they cannot stop from higher speeds on command.

    Hey so fun fact, the tram dlc for bs21 was done nearly a whole year before it was released (it all came with the map expansion update), it was playable with a small exe tweak, (this includes school buses too) all content worked as it does in release and nothing changed once release occurred, no bugs were fixed, functionally all they did was just make you wait a long time for content that was done as soon as they announced it.

    It released on consoles a few days ago and I enjoy playing it on my PS5. However I have to agree with you that it didn't make any sense in the first place for the devs to mix up those two genres. Bus Sim 21 should have stayed only a Bus Simulator without rails on the roads etc.

    If it's a game you want don't let a review stop you. The whole purpose of reviews is to show us games good or bad and save a little money if it's not to our likings. But most of these so called reviewers are only in for two reasons. 1) get views/followers and 2)get free games. If money isn't an issue, and you see a game that's interesting to you then by all means pick it up or wishlist it for future sale. This game is under $20 and to me someone who also owns Bus Sim 21 I think it's a steal. Ive spent the same amout of money on crappy food from McDonald's that tastes like shit and becomes shit within a few hours but I still do it cause I want to. I believe this was released for those who wanted 21 but didn't want to go all in on $40. Some of these lower end youtubers need to go get a real job, seriously...!
