I'm just...very surprised to find that it is so enjoyable. Honestly, on paper it just doesn't seem like it would be, to me.
I can't explain it either, but it is extremely enjoyable indeed.

My wife was asking me about that last night, after watching me play for a while.When I first started playing ETS, I've spent weeks playing just that. Driving, planning out return routes so I don't waste time, hiring drivers, pimping out trucks, spreading my little empire, learning... umm... to drive on the other side of the road
It's so incredibly relaxing that it is actually addictive.
Yeah, when you sit back and think "Why do I actually like this?", there's not much you can specifically point out as being great gameplay. It's just... good.![]()
My wife was asking me about that last night, after watching me play for a while.
Her: "Soooo, do you do anything besides drive around in your truck?"
Me: "Nope."
Her:"What's the point?"
Me: "I really don't know, honey. It just feels so right."
Her: "You're kind of a nerd, you know that don't you?"
Am I correct in assuming you have to stream your own music in it, or are there radio stations?
I'd even take it as far as saying that something not having a point other than to be enjoyed is mandatory for any kind of hobby.It's exactly like going on a motorcycle ride though the country. There is no point. But it's still awesome. In fact not having a point makes it even more awesome somehow.

I was a little surprised to see that paint jobs that I purchased with real money actually cost 2-3x as much in game currency as stock paint jobs when buying a truck.
ATS continues to impress. It actually managed to drag me away from RDR2, which I wouldn't have thought possible.
So you ATS/ETS hardcore vets play this with a steering wheel/pedals, or are keyboard mouse scrubs like me? I have been thinking about purchasing a steering wheel just for this, as overall I'm not much of a racing game fan.

I'm playing on a keyboard although I do have 500+ hours on ETS2 and over 200 on ATS.So you ATS/ETS hardcore vets play this with a steering wheel/pedals, or are keyboard mouse scrubs like me?

Speaking of my business, I just finished upgrading my first garage. I could only afford cheap W900 Kenworth's to put the new drivers in, so my question is do I upgrade their trucks as I can afford, and is there an "upper limit" of high end truck to give them or does there come a point when I'm just wasting money?I believe that feeling is only going to increase as you start to grow your business, buy better trucks and customize them, etc... And when you already know the entire map by memory, you can always switch to ETS for a brand new map with different kinds of scenery, cities, and architecture..
