We've all seen Railworks, right? Stunning graphics, but the game almost seems like it isn't worth the money. The reason why I say this is because Railworks is extremely buggy and every little bit of it costs money. The game itself is a great price ($9.99 at Wal-Mart) but you're dropping hundreds of dollars on content, updates, etc. I don't know if Railworks still has any affiliation with EA anymore, but it sounds like something our friends at EA would do, sell an unfinished game, and make people pay big bucks for everything, and the game only seems to run smoothly on high-end PC's.
Now onto the Trainz side of this rant/speech/discussion, T:ANE has been out for a few months now. I don't have T:ANE (as of the writing of this post), but I've heard stories. The graphics are absolutely amazing, but the game is full of bugs, glitches, and almost no older content works in it without some sort of modification to the content. Another known issue is, like Railworks, T:ANE only runs smoothly on High-End PC's. Recently, a member of this forum tried uploading something to the DLS for the latest version of TS12, but his assets were denied for no apparent reason. It almost seems like N3V is already trying to abandon TS12. Was this an attempt to phase out TS12, despite thousands of people still using it, or was it an attempt to draw more attention to N3V's ever-growing DLC shop, or was it simply a glitch on the DLS end?
What do you guys think?
