$200 is asking too much for a fucking train set
Who would pay $20 for an extra train.
Why are their DLC's so expensive? Who actually plays Railworks 2?
[QUOTE=Rammaster;27928124]Why are their DLC's so expensive? Who actually plays Railworks 2?[/QUOTE] I've wondered that for YEARS.
What does the game even come with to begin with? Tracks?
Oh man! I better hurry up and buy this!!

The purpose of Railworks is a cheap alternative to Train Set hobbiest. Spending $1,000 on a shit ton of virtual trains and tracks is a helluva lot cheaper than actually buying the real world equivalent.
[QUOTE=Rammaster;27928124]Why are their DLC's so expensive? Who actually plays Railworks 2?[/QUOTE] The DLC is so expensive because nobody plays Railworks. They have to recoup their investment between Trainboy54 there and the rest of the small community.
Holy shit. I'd rather buy a real train.

I used to be into real model trains but I jut don't have the room for it right now. Buying virtual trains sounds fucking gay, the whole point of the hobby is to build stuff yourself etc. I wasn't building real train scenarios and driving them. This is a simulator where you experience driving an actual train, the "models cost more in RL" argument makes no sense to me. One is a sim, one is a hobby.
Sims could be hobbies.
"Well it would cost more in real life, and it is cheaper than other hobbies" is a horrible excuse for buying pixels for thousands of dollars.
Don't worry guys I got all my dad's MTH and Lionel trainsets so I don't need stupid video game trains.

[QUOTE=Rammaster;27929434]That's like saying I'll rather buy TF2 hats because its cheaper than real hats.[/QUOTE] They pretty much aren't cheaper.
[QUOTE=Rammaster;27929434]That's like saying I'll rather buy TF2 hats because its cheaper than real hats.[/QUOTE] except its not because they arent lol
I guess some people REALLY like trains. Now imagine if a decent game came out and had this ammount of content?
[QUOTE=Apache249;27929571]They pretty much aren't cheaper.[/QUOTE] Assuming you want actual, good quality bowler/cowboy/top/etc hats, they're a LOT more expensive than their TF2 counterparts. On topic, by the pricing logic that Railworks uses, Call of Duty should cost hundreds of thousands because of all the guns you can get and Sim City should cost billions.
didn't this go on sale before?

[quote]The available DLCs cover a wide range of interests and everyone is free to buy the ones he/she likes, so if you like American locos and routes you get those. If you're more into British stuff, you get a route based there. Or you want to have some nice steam locos instead of diesel ones? Go ahead and get those. Very few people, if any, have bought all the DLCs.[/quote] [quote]To get the most from this Software, unlike most other genres on Steam, we are not dependant on the DLCs available via Steam, they are nice to have, not a must have.[/quote] [quote]a loco takes something between 200 and 300 hours to build.[/quote] between the man hours for producing a dlc, the licensing costs, and the fact that they don't have a huge user base like Call of Duty, the prices really aren't that bad. there's also a large modding scene, and free content updates(railworks 2 was a free update for the owners of the original railworks) i don't even play this game but i'm getting tired of seeing you all whine about shit that will never effect you, especially when you're wrong.
What the hell do you even do in Railworks? Watch trains?
