Silly simulations taking it too far!?

Hello all,

I remember when this Astragon did a handful of random simulators in the day with farming sim and the rubbish bus sim 2008 or 2009...but bus sims aren't exactly stupid (OMSI is much much better though) however it seems to have gone a bit...well...overboard now!

We have odd sims like roadworks, heavy goods, street sweeper, oil rig, demolisher, police, car, garbage truck, ski area, quarry, underground mining, tow truck, deep sea and even garden simulators...and there's more than just that too.

There is a guy on youtube who reviews these (swears a lot but is bloody hilarious!) and looking at some of the sims like street sweeper sim...they are just absolutely trash!!!
Some have ok graphics but some really are rubbish, and Garden simulator really does look pants with horrendous sounds, poor gameplay and bugs, making it look rushed or a 'bish-bash-bosh-dosh' job.

Really I would not spend £24.99 on that or the others!

I'd admit, some like heavy haul, driving, tow truck or other driving based sim's of theirs may have some form of potential if a lot of thought and effort was actually put into it, and put some good features and scenarios into it, it might actually be a hit!

Has anyone actually bought any of these and like them? In my opinion they aren't really worth anything. If they were free sims then I wouldn't complain about them but for the high price then I will :p

I also saw the oil rig sim which has some rather basic missions in it! I kid you not...the first mission was to literally click on 5 menu buttons then you won the mission! :o

Even if it had the worlds best graphics and was free I doubt I'd have the slightest interest in a garden simulator :lol:

Pretty much all off them are made to make some quick money, i've seen video's on youtube and its pretty good laugh really.

Only simulators i go near are Combat Flight sims (IL2 Sturmovik) and Railworks really.
