Construction Machines 2014 Reviews

Horrible game bad graphics could even get past the sign in part kept getting some kind error and i meet all of the requirements . DONT BUY THIS GAME

Wouldn't recommend this game. The only settings available to change from the UI are sound, graphical quality, vsync and soft-shadows. It hard locks the resolution @ 640x480 which on a 1080p monitor looks horrible. In addition the vehicles are way to touchy and no where near realistic. A bit on the vehicles, they move too fast. When trying to do something that requires percision, that is not an ability. Most controls are centered to the left side of the keyboard. WSAD for movement, RF,TG for bucket controls, It just feels un-natural. You should be able to select your speed when operating the machine. In addition to the machines running way to fast, they bounce all over the place. Or when you pick up an item in your bucket it bounces right out of said bucket. It makes it hard to finish any of the missions. I'd rate it a 2 out of 10. And that is only for the concept of the game. If it was better implemented it would be a better game overall. I would recommend passing on this game.

Playway great developers they try hard and then they try even harder despite what people think they stick to it and keep going forwards. Well i have a soft spot for most sim games this game is a bunch of fun im enjoying it and every one is entitled to there own opinion and you will always have negative people but i just tune them out. The game play is great alot to do if you want to do it right the graphics are good with every thing set to max under launch option not shore how people are over heating but with everything set to max CPU runs at 37c and GPU runs at 42c The textures could use little touching up some are little fuzzy not shore if its he type of texture used or the way they are rendered or just me playing with options Controls can be a little frustrating at times they can be rather sensitive but if you take your time and be gentle you can overcome this The game has good game-play with contracts mode free-play mode and challenge mode they are all fun nice range of vehicles but i believe shared vehicle psychics is the only down side but considering the price i can live with that Best of all the developers are active taking suggestions and then fixing the game which seems to be the playway way of doing things which is great and for small price of $14.99 its great value for money

8 out of 42 players like this game. Graphics are okay assuming you have high end SLI'd GPU's. Controls aren't good enough to be considered, ARCADE; this game should not even be under the category of simulation. 40 pound rocks can make the Bulldozer flip over; no exaggeration. No speed range. There are only 2 speeds: Fast and Out of Control. Running over 40 pound rocks can cause you to loose what you just scooped up from the ground; no physics at all. I am seriously thinking about reporting this game to the Better Business Bureau; it should be banned from America.

The game literally won't launch. I just spent like 20 minutes messing around with it, doing every possible thing I could think of from verifying the integrity of the files, to reinstalling, to messing around with dozens of launch options, and nothing. I can't even LAUNCH the game to find out how bad everybody says it is. Pathetic. Apparently if you have more than 4 cores the game freaks out, and won't launch. Well I'm not going to screw around with some .ini file trying to fix it. This game is the devs problem. Poorly optimized, so here's a bad review from me.

How PlayWay managed to survive, let alone thrive, after this abysmal release is beyond me. CM14 is amazingly bad, it ticks off all the boxes of how not to do a simulator. Controls are horrid and hard locked, vehicle handling is very jerky and tied to FPS fluctuations, and camera viewpoints are so bad the machines feel like ungainly tanks. CM14 is loaded full of bugs. I was able to complete 3 of the 11 included contracts, the fourth unlocks but is missing the excavator needed to unload crates from the cargo truck. While you can technically unload the truck by reversing into a cement fountain and knocking them out of the cargo bay, this does not count towards level completion. Game audio does not function due to the game randomly flipping through included tracks so fast they don't have time to play. Profiles can delete themselves once created as well as after finishing a couple contracts. I highly recommend skipping CM14, there's a reason PlayWay is still offering a free (similarly aged) game as an apology for this thing if you email them proof of purchase.

Dont buy. There are soo many things that is not right, and i have a -really- low standard for odd games. (For example i own most of the german indie titles for construction, building, towing, transporting etc). Graphics: Not all to chabby, but stutters even on low settings. Physics: Let's not go there at all. Camera: Well, uhm, it's just bad. Gameplay: You cant move the camera *and* drive at the same time. As soon as you move the camera, your veichle stops. There is problems scooping up stuff in general with loader and buckets. Debris just bounce around and out. Soo, in conclusion, save your money. I bought it as i can tolerate most odd games, even bad ones. This is just worse. /Rikard

*Un Bias Review 2.0!* Ok First off I would like to say I am sorry for my first review it was mostly because I was in a bad mood after buying the game. There are a few things that I missed on my first playthrough. 1 There is a settings menu, which is great! unfortuatly messing around with the resolution a bit broke the game, my second screen, and my steam, Some how it inverted the colors and filled the screen with dots. Even then the menu screens still were in the wrong resolution and had big black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, In game it fit the screen fine. The second problem I ran into was to do with the physics, I had alot of very bad clipping problems with a few of them resulting in my loader or what ever I was picking up flying into the wall. The third problem was that nothing had any weight or feel to it, it felt as if I was driving a hover loader picking up things with a anti gravity device or something, because they all just slid around on the floor. The fourth thing was the default music was way too loud. While looking in the settings tab I found you could import your own music *HOLY SHIT* More games need to do that! I can see they were aiming for a realistic feel to the game but it was a bit off. When you are in the first person view you can't see very much so I use the free cam, the only problem with the free cam is most of the sounds are missing when you go into free cam *Engine sounds, Debris hitting the floor ect* The physics just freeze sometimes, the game is still running *rain falling and such* but the loader doesnt move at all. The game runs pretty choppy with fps drops about every 50 seconds. I will list my full pc specs aswell *16GB of RipJaw Z series ddr3 ram, Msi 970A G46, Amd fx 8350 Black Edition running at 4.0Ghz, Radeon 7870 Ghz Editio (Yes I know its bottlenecking right now I am saving up for another one but money is tight right now) and a 750W power suply* There we go I hope this review is less Bias :)

Poorly optimized, graphics aren't too good and are covred up with intense lighting. I couldn't play the game because it was so laggy. I was sporting a hard 60 fps sitting in the tractor, literally as soon as the bucket hit the bricks, my fps dropped to 5 fps. Awful, just awful. I would get a refund, but it came with 3 other games for 99 cent, and one of them is actually fun.

No control options, horrible camera views, non existant physics. Equipment that should weigh tons bounces around like a go kart. Don't waste your time. I've been in construction my whole life so when I see something like this it makes me think my son would get to see a glimpse what it's like...nope. Pass on this junk.
