My Honest Thoughts on Train Sim World 3

A brief-ish discussion of the three routes in Train Sim World 3, finishing with a summary of my overall thoughts on this debatably-necessary game.
(TSW3's featured routes):
Cajon Pass
Schnellfahrstrecke - Kassel to Würzburg
Southeastern High Speed (extended)

I agree with alot of the points raised in this video. I got TSW 3 but only off of xbox gamepass because I wasn't willing to pay $50 for what is essentially an update to tsw 2. The differences between tsw 2 and 3 aren't that big to be honest. The new features included feel like things that should've been in tsw years ago and frankly don't justify in my opinion charging for this game. I think the training center is useless because it really doesn't teach you anything about a train other than the basic stuff you would find in tsw 2 tutorials. Move throttle forward to accelerate, move it back to break etc. It doesn't teach you about the train's safety systems or other advanced features which makes no sense and defeats the purpose of having a training center. Whilst it's nice that it will now allow players to not have to buy a route in order to use a loco dlc, I only used it once and have no intention of using it again because I find it pointless Now I do enjoy high speed routes but I do agree that Kassel-Wurzburg can get a bit boring due to the lack of variety and once you do many services. The ICE 1 is a nice edition though. For some reason though in the ICE 3, you can't set the destination manually and the passenger lights are way too dim when they are set on and don't bright up unless it's night or you are in a tunnel. They are much brighter in reality. The problem with the German route for me is that it doesn't go to a station where the ICE's terminate. So while yes we have a longer high speed route, it would've been nice to get a terminating station for this long route which would' ve been better than just giving it up to the ai The SEHS route has scenery improvements however the extension to dartford doesn't add much in my opinion. The extension to Ashford is nice however the route should've gone to Ramsgate or Dover Priory to make the 395 services feel more complete. I won't comment on Cajon Pass since I didn't install the route since Im not into freight roues

@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga Жыл бұрын

Agreed, especially on the Training Centre. You'd think DTG would've gone the extra mile to teach people about things like safety systems. But they clearly thought it was a better idea to not even mention those systems and just leave people in the dark (Dovetail logic, for the win).

Something intresting came up to me when after I watched the development of the ICE: the whole German line in game is called Hannover-Würzburg line and its InterCity Experimental train attained a speed record of 252.8 mph while travelling along the route.

I got it for Christmas last year and I’ve found it to be a halfway decent game. My only complaint is that we get five locomotives in the German route yet we can only drive three since the other two are only able to be AI controlled. WHY INCLUDE FIVE WHEN WE CAN ONLY DRIVE THREE???!!!

I've got TSW2 and I don't know if I want to buy TSW3 however the new Lichfield City line has been added (my local line I use) and I'd love to play it. However paying £30 for one new train and a class 66 (which has been used before in two lines) is a bit much when I could spend £37 for 4 new lines and a tonne more locomotives. Bit of a weird one Plus the reason why I choose Dovetail is because I'm a console player and it's cool to see a local line introduced but it's ridiculously priced at the moment Would you say the Cross city line is worth it or an incredible rip off compared to other routes you could get?

@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga Жыл бұрын

As it stands now, the Cross City Line is far too expensive for what you get. This certainly isn't the first time I've seen DTG ripping people off. The price of the standalone route makes no sense when it's the same as that bundle with the base game; talk about being unfair to existing players.

Tsw is my favorite sim in terms of immersion. That being said i will never understand why they keep making us buy new games for things that could easily be an update for the original. They make enough from dlc to cover that loss. I personally cannot see much difference vetween any of the 3 since i first played csx heavy haul.

@raithrover1976 Жыл бұрын

Agreed. I'd love to be able to play the new Glasgow to Edinburgh DLC but having to upgrade from TSW2 to TSW3 AND pay for the DLC seems a bit of a rip-off. DTG could learn a of from SCS and their approach to Euro Truck Sim / American Truck Sim.

I wanna buy it now its on sale but how does it work? You only have 3 routes you play over and over again? Or per "route" you can drive through different destinations. And are there many (modern) trains or really only 2?

@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga 11 ай бұрын

There's a lot of additional DLC available for this game (with plenty of modern trains to boot, like the Class 700). I don't know how it works on consoles, but on PC - where I play the game, the add-ons are automatically installed into the game and you can choose what route to drive on in the main menu. Unfortunately the routes are generally quite short, but regardless, some examples of route add-ons in this game are as follows: East Coastway - Brighton to Eastbourne & Seaford Island Line 2022 - Ryde to Shanklin London Underground Bakerloo Line Bahnstrecke - Bremen to Oldenburg Peninsula Corridor - San Francisco to San Jose

I’m tired of routes that just make reskins of EMU’s and that’s the only train we get. London Commuter could be great if they threw in a class 800 or something. Instead we get the same emu basically but in red and green, woohoo. The new Edinburgh route is basically the same thing. Another emu and nothing else. I play TSW 2/3 less and less because it’s really nothing new. The Cross City Line there’s that track treatment train which is just a repainted class 66 that’s been around in the game forever. I find myself playing Classic more and more but even that is inaccurate concerning American equipment because the brakes don’t bail off and the air gauges are TOTALLY WRONG. Trust me, I’ve been an American railroader for 20 years. The American stuff in Classic is not right.

I'm disappointed in the American content in this game. I feel as if they could have gone the American Truck Sim route and release the entire state of California vs what I consider to be a short route and trains that are too short compared to real life. The "DLC" for this game is way to expensive and this really isn't even a new game. Previous packs are still selling for full retail. If DoveTail took the ATS route with maps and DLC, they'd be more successful.
