What Do You Think About Rig ‘n’ Roll?

[modern rat]

Well, I got it a week ago. I really can't add anything that hasn't been said already, but, what the hey, here goes.

Incredible graphics. I use Microsoft Flight Simulator, and, after playing RNR, I almost hate to go back to MS because of MS's pathetic graphics.

All accidents are my fault, no matter if they are or not.

No vintage trucks (I want a Ford C Series, a sixties White-Freightliner (with 2 and 4 headlights), a Mack R Series, etc.

Poor steering characteristics.

Good radio thing. (That ain't, I mean, is, right.)

Lack of signs warning about upcoming curves.

It’s nice to see all of your viewpoints of RNR. However, I ask that you please cast your vote at the top of the page, so that our readers can get a quick gage of the game, and our overall ratings. This is after all, a Poll Thread.

Welcome to the forum Modern Rat.

There are signs warning on the roads on the mountain in the town of Mi-Wuk Village

I’m not sure exactly what he means by curves. If he’s talking about general curves, then you really don’t see too many warning signs on the US Highways. If he means unusually sharp ones then yes the are a few of them in the game that give warnings, but maybe he has not traveled there yet. There are some sharp ones that are not marked too. I’m thinking that’s what he means.

Do he mean like the roads coming to and form Weaverville?

We’re not going to go town by town are we? Give him a chance to exlain.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

You'll have to be a little more specific as to what the problem is. Ranting is not going to help you. What do you mean "money taken for the third time", and what is wrong with the game, that you can't get it to run? Also what is your system specs?

Well this can only mean you pirated it. Therefore you’re gone!

Went to pick up a order of cold meat between oakland and patterson and the trailer wasnt there.

the game is good, a little better than 18 wheels of steel, but some improvements would be nice.

having the real name on the truck would be nice, even though on the titan eldorado you can see the floor mat says Kenworth.

The game seems more 'truck racing' oriented than a 'trucking simulator'.

For the more realism hungry people like myself, have a "career mode" and a separate mode for the crowd wanting more of a race or arcade oriented mode.

For at least the career mode, I would like to see:

-Having to stop at a weigh station or get pulled over by a cop and fined (I see there is a weigh station but nothing happens when i drive by).
-Being pulled over by a cop when truck has "excessive" damage. D.O.T. in the US is very strict. A bit of that realism would be nice.
-Warehouse realism: I understand the need for when picking up a load why its brought to you magically by a crain or whatever but, when delivering a load how about having to back it up to a dock and unhitching? Something along the lines of that.
-Like someone has suggested i see, some road curve signs
-Some sort of speed limit. For playability only get pulled over by a cop when going over 70 or 80mph? or 20mph over limit? Something like that.
-Vehicles yield when using turn signals? Otherwise whats the point of having them?
-Periodical mandatory hotel stay time? Truckers gotta take a break and sleep, its the law.
- WHERE IS THE CB? 18 wheels of steel had a cb with truckers talking on it.


I think most of these would be appreciated by us truckers or trucking enthusiasts.

Oh yeah and, need a much much much more improved GPS. Intergrate with with the map with the ability to zoom in and out and more detail of where you are and going when zoomed in.
