Big City Rigs: Garbage Truck Driver Reviews

Big City Rigs: Garbage Truck Driver

I guess my expectations were too high for this game. Maybe because it was released in 2020, I thought it would support wide screen monitors, and have pretty good graphics, sound, user interface. It has none of those. It has graphics. It has sounds. It has a user interface. Those are the best things I can say about them. The first thing I noticed was the game started in 1024x768 resolution. On my 4K monitor. So as soon as I could get to the options I went to change it to my native resolution (3840x2160). It turns out that's not an option. In fact, there are only three resolution options. The aforementioned default, 1600x1200, and another one in between that I can't remember now. No 1080p. No 4K. Is this 1995? Speaking of 1995, the graphics have about the right quality for that. When I turned up all the graphics settings to the highest (which gave me a warning that I need to have at least 1 GB of memory!), it was still quite bad. Low resolution textures, blocky models, etc. Setting up the game in the first place took quite a bit of dealing with the crappy UX, but eventually I figured out how to get actually into the game. Meanwhile, the menu is overlayed on a scene which is perpetually rotating around, making me dizzy. There were some sounds playing the roughly corresponded to what was happening in the game. But the garbage truck only seems to have two engine sounds: running and not running. No matter what speed it's moving, it makes the same sound. Operating the employees and truck is very clunky. Basically, you hit the spacebar to make something happen, Enter to switch between the workers, and arrow keys (?!?!?!) to move them around or drive the truck. They don't move smoothly or exactly like you might expect, but eventually you can get them to do what you want. The actual process of picking up garbage is extremely repetitive, which I guess is to be expected. It's quite a pain to have to keep switching between workers (one driving and one picking up) and commanding one to do what you want by moving the arrow keys then hitting the spacebar over and over. And when the garbage is actually dumped into the truck, the garbage bin clips into the truck. For some reason the truck doesn't have an opening on the back for the garbage to go into? On the plus side, traffic seems to react to your presence in the roadway and doesn't run you over. I stopped after 15 minutes and didn't even finish the first mission because I was too disappointed and bored. I was really hoping for something along the lines of modern vehicle simulators like Bus Simulator or something!

so the game is good but you need scrips the game is old looking and that make it more better and the garbed truck have some good name but some thing you don't need like the multi use thing or what ever so if you play than good and if you are stuck and you just start then you need to get a lone and there is not a lot of "routs" but they do give you money and but be careful about traffic law like running a red light and the hit box is mess up so you run red light and you did't even cross and the price is a bid bad may need some low some bit and the couture can be hard to know like to do a thing like use Waring light get off or start the your truck you need to press space and there is more but i'm too lazy btw

This seems to be a rerelease of an older game. It doesn't support modern resolutions and generally looks old and clunky. It's kind of not what I was expecting, in that it's not much of a simulator; driving the truck doesn't feel realistic and isn't even a big part of the game. It's mostly focused on collecting garbage, taking it to the truck and then taking the bin back. Controls are unintuitive, making you press space to hop off the truck even though it feels like trying to move should do that automatically. This is really a classic "thumb sideways" recommendation. I can't praise this game, but it fills a unique niche and for the price it's pretty fun. I feel like if you're looking at this, you probably know if you're interested in this kind of game or not.
