GDorsett Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 No, see, you have that wrong. You simply haven't unlocked that yet. You must have missed a side quest somewhere. Either that, or it's a DLC... 2 Link to comment

railsquid Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I see, but you'll have to excuse my ignorance because I don't have the slightest idea what you mean with that. Link to comment

In video games, you'll have objectives to reach, often represented by a "prize" or "object" you can earn. Un-earned ones are often represented in "ghost" form -- ie, all white outlined version, before you achieve and win the item. 1 Link to comment
railsquid Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Aha, that shows you how much I play video games. Now all we need to know is what a "DLC" is... 1 Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 DLC is downloadable content, ie. anything extra that isn't included in the base game. That's where a lot of game studios make their money these days as the extra content can often become much larger than the base game. Buying new routes or locomotives for a train simulator game is one example. Link to comment
railsquid Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Right, well obviously they're not making much money off me. We do have a PS3 bitrotting away somewhere but I spend enough time in front of screens as it is... 1 Link to comment

chadbag Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I won't claim much *personal* knowledge of all this, as my video game experience of the last 20 years is mostly limited to Mario Kart on the Wii and Wii U, and then on the computer, things like Europa Universalis and Hearts of Iron, which are more strategic non-action games, and which I get to every 5 years for a few days. My kids are begging to upgrade the Wii U, which I finally bought on Prime Day a couple years ago as the Wii U was on its way out -- I got it to upgrade the Mario Kart experience from the original Wii version (meaning the version on the original Wii, not that that was the first version of Mario Kart). They want a Switch at a minimum, and my son wants an Xbox or Playstation. Not in my house. Total waste of time. 1 Link to comment
GDorsett Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I love my Switch. One of the best purchases I've made, as I was heavily into the 3DS scene, but was just burnt out from Mariokart 7. I was one of those people who were legitimately chasing down world records on some tracks for speed. Hit a shelf and could not go any faster. Bought a Switch, haven't looked back. 1 Link to comment
miyakoji Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I check periodically to see if any train simulators have come out for the Switch. Link to comment
GDorsett Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Not yet. Since it's not regoin locked, I'm hoping A-Train will get ported. There was an extremely basic "sim" that was on the 3DS, but nothing proper yet. Link to comment

Same with the PS4, only things these days that are region locked are digital downloads or DLC. Back on topic - I actually kinda like the plain white would also be really easy to model too ^_^ Link to comment

I also played Victoria. That was 15 years ago. I've got a new version of Hearts of Iron, but it seems to much to swallow for a random free afternoon. Link to comment

Yes, I think that's why I clocked so many hours with Stellaris. The mechanics are relatively simple and it is easy to play during a random afternoon. EU4 has become so complex, that it is a hassle to relearn the mechanics (which are constantly changing) to play. Hearts of Iron seems relatively clear and simple as well though. Could be well fitting for some casual playing. 15 years ago, I was intensively playing EU2 and Victoria. Can't do that anymore. Link to comment
chadbag Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I have the HoI (I think latest) and also the latest EU and I think I bought Stellaris on Steam. But I have not actively played any of the latest. Just too busy with real life and work (and now the trains). I would like to have time to occasionally play as I really like the strategy and resource management games. I played a ton of EU2 I think it was way back when. And a ton of an earlier HoI. I've been hoping to get my kids interested in these games (vs the COD and the like my son seems to want to play). Link to comment
