What's up colleagues! I've been playing “Euro Truck Simulator” for a while now, I don't remember when was the last time I got so hooked on a game as soon as I started playing it, I'm not that attached to it, but the truth is that I liked Euro Truck more than what I imagined.
Actually I really wanted to play this game, for a long time I wanted to have it but it was very difficult to buy it from my country, here it's been a long time since the credit cards and Visa ceased to exist, so everything is a problem to make online purchases. But thanks to many hours of research I managed to create a “Zinli” account and with it I got a virtual card (Visa) and that's how I could get the game after so long, apart from everything, I can also say that I did it at a good time, because I got the game on offer with an -80% discount, it only cost me 0.50$, that was practically a gift.
After getting it and playing it for the first time, my impression was like that of a baby with a new toy. My PC Computer in requirements is quite modest and this game in spite of everything asks for really low requirements and although my PC computer is not so good, it can run this game without major complications and I even play it in a 720p resolution and it goes quite smoothly, it is also true that it is a game of the year 2008 and its specifications are not a big deal either, but at least for me it is fine, I'm having a great time for the adventure and performance.
Now I will tell you a little about my experience in my first trips. “Euro Truck Simulator” offers routes of several countries, in reality there are not many, but in spite of that it is fulfilling my expectations. I took the city of Madrid in Spain as my headquarters, it seemed to me a good place to start my adventure, in this city I have only found two companies that offer jobs, one to transport different types of wood and another to transport from groceries to fruits.
So far my routes have been conformed by Spain and Portugal, traveling and making deliveries in the cities of Lisbon and Barcelona, also when arriving at the destinations mentioned above, I always return with some cargo to Madrid. So far I'm enjoying these routes and I'm taking it easy, I'm doing this to get more familiar with the gameplay, the time will come when I decide to go to other countries.
Something that I had to practice a lot is to be able to park correctly when delivering the cargo, in Euro Truck Simulator this is something fundamental to be able to complete the delivery, if you are not sufficiently aligned with the line marked in the parking lot, then you will never be able to complete the delivery of the cargo.
I have to say that in my first delivery I spent almost 40 minutes trying to park well hahahaha, believe me it is a little difficult at first, someone who has very little patience would surely abandon the game immediately. In each of the deliveries I've made, I've been improving a lot this, every time I do it better and it doesn't take me so much time, although sometimes I've gotten delivery places where the space is reduced and this makes it more difficult, but even so I've been able to get out of this unscathed, without doing any damage to the truck or the cargo and neither get any infraction for late delivery.
What I have not liked so far is the issue of gasoline, besides that it runs out very quickly, it is also very expensive, in one of the trips I was almost left outdoors on one of the roads to Lisbon. The good thing is that there are usually several gas stations on these roads and that somehow compensates but still affects the economy a little, I do not know if later this will change when I make some improvements to the truck, we'll see if it is as I think.
I'm having a pretty good time in “Euro Truck Simulator”, better than I expected, the game has hooked me in a unique way, I guess that's all you expect after longing for a game so much. In the trips I have taken some screenshots removing the HUD from the screen, although I must say that the camera movement is quite limited, there is no option to pan and thus be able to get a better view, but still I have sought the best angles to get some acceptable views, it is also true that the setting as such is not quite defined, actually lacks details a little more realistic, but despite that I liked how they have been, here I show you some of them.
And so far my content today colleagues, I hope you enjoyed it. The images shown here are of my authorship, I have taken them all from the original game. Thanks for visiting and reading my content, see you in a next post, see you soon.
