Unlike most "first looks" this was not free to me and not promoted by DTG (the developer) - no booty smoochin here. Actual opinions and facts are contained within... you know... for the actual simulation part.
let's have a look!

1:40 its funny because they conversion rates dont even add up. We get charged an extra 8 bucks and they act like they dont know.
I always appreciate your honest opinion and not the paid reviews from others
Another generic, linear German route...at this point they should change the name to Train Sim some-parts-of-the-world 3!! it's looks nice the route, I'll give them that..
Generic?
@@pooki-dooki yes, the same samey passenger route...
If by generic you mean the first German route set pre-2000 with an iconic intercity locomotive along one of the most scenic railways in the entire country then, sure, it's generic.
@@luispereira9999 Passenger trains run everywhere in Germany. It‘s called „having a functional passenger rail network“. There are almost no freight-only lines of substantial length.
@@bahnspotterEU yes I understand but I would love to see more variety, less linear than going A to B... like the author of the video said in other videos there's no secondary lines or branch lines.
DTG must just cringe every time you upload a video. 😊
Haha i doubt it. They have enough foot kissers saturating the media airwaves. One of the reasons i started was this, just got tired of seeing the same ol stuff. Its fine to just "play" and not care about details- people are different. I know i dont fully understand every single little thing but i try to put at least some effort in rather than a "lets play" type recorded gameplay.
When dtg remove the word sim from the title, I'll stop worrying about it 😄
The switches for safety systems should be in the other cab. Shown in the preview
110 did run freight but very rarely. Correct loco would have been the 140
I hate how DTG (or as I call them, Doesn't Test Games) still haven't come clean and explained why the prices have increased so much. There's no excuse for the often sub-par quality now, especially if the recent NEC fiasco is anything to go by.
As for the UA-camrs who get these add-ons for free, I would take everything they say with a grain of salt. I get the impression that DTG are just breathing down their necks to make sure they don't say anything bad about the add-ons.
Also, I noticed that the BR103's whistle is reused from the BR110.3 (since when did players expect new recordings. Nah, that's far too much to ask). And that whistle sound is actually from the BR420 in TS classic. Make of that what you will.
JD did explain in the forums several times. He said it's due to inflation, increased cost of living, etc. It's probably not the answer you want but that's what JD said himself.
But the DLC quality is still far below what you'd expect for such a high price. The devs always being pushed for time doesn't help matters.
No, its due to bullshit.
Just bc milk is the price of a used Ferrari in the UK doesnt mean they need to charge that much more per dlc.
Companies lie... ofcourse they're not gonna be like "yeah we raised prices for no reason bc deal w it"...
And I've decided to avoid buying the new TSW stuff at full price. Instead I'll just wait until they go on sale, like I did with Bremen to Oldenburg.
@@potatoman451 Inflation my ass. I can get myself a triple A game for $10 more, so why would I pay almost the price of a game like Callisto Protocol or the Dead Space remake for something that is of typical DTG low quality? If DTG wants consumers to pay more for something, then DTG needs to invest more resources and time into presenting us with a better value.
Love your delivery man. You are so not the everyday American content creator. You have a great understanding of geography outside the the Lower 48, you pronounce all the German place (and train) names correctly, you know your PZB from your LZB.... as I say, I'm not meaning to offend Americans but it's true most have a very internal outlook. You are wise and worldly sir! I agree with everything you say about DTG, the price hike, the low quality, the politics. Please accept my apologies that as the main train development house, this is the 'best' that Britain can do. The British Walmart of train sim - what a great analogy.
First off thanks for the in-depth video. I like the way you dig into the details of the trains and also the historical details of the area. I don't agree with you on everything but in general I find your criticisms reasonable. However, I would like to offer a piece of constructive criticism of my own: I find the use of the term 'fanboy' very irritating as it's simply a derogatory way to refer to people who enjoy something you do not (or not to the same extent). I think it's fine to criticise DTG for lack of detail or polish in certain areas, but I personally don't find it very constructive to direct that frustration onto the people who enjoy it for what it is. Just my two cents. Cheers mate.
i enjoyed this series thank
WOW that has to be the Best Opening I have ever Heard EVER! only 2mins in and Feeling enjoyment already as you say the Greatest line EVER "Dovetail is the British Walmart of Train Sim" 😂🤣😂 I couldn't have said it any better than what you said 👍👍 flimflammers and Bamboozlers 😂😂 I feel like I'm going to take part in a Willy Wonka speech that has me almost pissing my pants.
I'm just going to say this now this is by far the Best Video you have ever uploaded.
I honestly think this unit looks like a 70's RV front end, I believe Alex Gate worked on the building of this unit Really Nice Guy I spoke to him multiple times in a private chat. OMG you got me on that one the vents look good "Or Do They" 😂 long story short at that moment you said that my drink that was in my mouth was all over everything.
I'll tell you from talking to 1 other DTG employee besides Alex that has said everything on the outside of every Locomotive in game have No clue what the parts are and what they do in Real Life as this person has told me that they really don't care to know and to show me that that's 100% true they said that's why DTG has never asked anyone on the Forums on research or details how that works and why it's there, so when DTG's says there Railroader Fan's there Not like us American Railroader Fans that could tell you anything about any Locomotive part! Fact. I could easily poke fun at these 2 but that's Not me, as they have No clue on 90% of the units, in their own words "any American Unit has black box spring looking thing's down under the frame near the wheel trucks to them thought it was a Shock Springs" has yes they kinda do look like springs but then I told them it's a pipe line made of hard rubber vent system to blow cool air into the Traction Motor case to cool down traction motors when in use which has 4 connectors 2 to blow cool air in and 2 to exhaust out, just shows how much knowledge DTG's has as that's why we never get anything Great.
I have to tell you this so for the last 4 months I've been testing the waters of DTG's TSW3 live stream monthly roadmap.
I have found out 2 HUGE questions answered that everyone been wanting to know 1 being when will American Steam Engines be coming to TSW3 and from Matt Peddlesden said wait till TSW4 releases as a Joke then went into saying that it's too complicated for the team of DTG at the moment with all the different sounds and moving parts on the outside as well as inside the cab, so If your waiting for the UP Big Boy anytime soon try 12 years from now.
The Second question I asked was an interesting stream as I got Matt to kind of leak it without him realizing what he was talking about then a Higher Up jumped in stream 18 mins after talking about it and cut his voice out of stream for a bit and that was about Multiplayer as Matt went into saying that DTG has been working on a MP mode which will have different job titles online in a game on a server that players can play as and one of the many other reasons for the in game custom skins to be used.
GREAT VIDEO keep them coming
Virtual Railroads as far as I know have done content for Train Sim Classic from 2012 to 2022 only 24 DLC Pieces. Most recent additions were back in 2022 and only 2 DLC Wagon packs were released by them via steam. Last locomotive release from Virtual Railroads for Train Sim Classic on Steam was the DB BR 181.2 from 2019 even then no DLC items were released from them during 2018
Tsg did the TSC route as well w the east german flare. It was incredible, cant remember the name.
Im really looking fwd to Niddertalbahn
@@schnauzahpowahz yea they seem to do quite a good job with the routes they make.
Have to agree on the dreadful ground textures, one of the worst things about TSW for me.
You know what's even funnier, the price in Poland went from about $25 to $43. The Witcher 3 is cheaper now.
Just to clarify, I'm not in anyway Defending DTG and I do not Agree with the Price Increases, but I'm pretty sure they did mention something about The reason being because of The Inflation rate currently in the UK, but I may be wrong :)
Still Doesn't Justify That Much Of An Increase Though~
Just Realised Someone Already Mentioned This, So Sorry For Duplicating The Same Message :)
Nah, we use our voices to demand more better quality products. You're not the only person who's upset by the price. We all are disappointed
How fun! We love this area in Germany! You have a good knowledge of Germany Esspee..
Komischer Mix aus altem Mainzer Bahnhof und neuer Binger Stadtplanung. Und auch schade, dass viele Gebäude nicht mal annähernd original aussehen. Bei Häusern ist das vielleicht ok, aber die Burgen und Kirchen.
Okay, genug beschwert ;)
For some reason I can't find this route? Sorry Esspee?
Yes, this Fort Konstantin doesn't look the real thing..😞
Nice! I personally think this route is a far cry from the Pro Train 1 version that was made for MSTS in early 2000s by Blue Sky Interactive. That version goes all the way to Colonge from Frankfurt despite the rolling stock aren't as detailed as the TSW3 version and the ICE 3 (high speed line not included) was also thrown in there because it was the newest train at the time.
You're comparing a very basic train simulation that probably wasn't that high resolution to a modern game on a modern game engine that takes much longer to build stuff
@@potatoman451 Yes!
@@potatoman451 So what? At $40 things should be better
Mannnnnnn you be hating on TSW3... I like your honest opinion BUT come onnnnnn.. You're looking underneath the train like it's REAL..What the helllllll???? Bro it's a game CALM DOWN... it is a lot of things they can do better I get that, but direct me to another Train Sim that is better than this one...Put it in the comments... From what I see NONE.... Or let US know when you're releasing your train sim game since you have ALL the answers.... LOL From Your Boy Poorhouzzzzzzz
The freight yard you show at 1:03:20 is not in use anymore. It was an important one because in Bingerbrück originates a branch line to Bad Kreuznach and further on to Saarbrücken (coal industry). After crossing the Nahe river there was once a big roundhouse with turntable. The depot and the freight yard were used as long as steam dominated the rail. When the railway was built in 1859/60 Bingerbrück was a border town between Prussia and the grand duchy of Hessen. - Today there is neither a depot and only a small remainder of the former freight yard which is not used anymore.
I agree with you, the recent push of shoddy content at a higher price from dovetail has just been outrageous. The only route I have really liked besides Niddertalbahn has been SEH, those are both well done. I haven't played classic in awhile but I'm about to go back just because of the variety of rolling stock too. Also agree with you with how they do unreal engine, sometimes it looks really really good and then other times washed out and not well done.
I hope we get a br218 with the monster clag
Tsg is making it much much later down the line. He still has to release niddertalbahn next week along with any fixes to the bugs that may appear, 420 and 232. 218 is after 232. He is also helping as a second party so anything German dtg is making
@@potatoman451 wooooow brilliant news. I hope 218 has the clag like in real life
the reason the prices r up is because the eng;lish economy is a total mess.. if rent prices go up by 800 for normal ppl then.. yeah.
Those headlights look like someone just slapped a post-it with a nightlight bulb drawn on it over them
Lol
9:10 iirc bread loaf is one of the nicknames
lol the traction motor fan sounds the same as the Acela fans
19:24 so now they've cut back on one of the most defining features of the TSW series?
From the beginning, it's not been possible to walk through certain locomotives, when you can it's usually out of necessity and the modeling is simplified. You can still walk through the passenger cars as usual.
Spot on! 😉
I swear some TSC/tsw UA-camrs make content just to bitch and moan…
shut up
I swear some tsc/tsw players gobble up whatever low level crap dtg bestowes upon you 'BeCuz MuH tRain'
Oh look its the typical "its a train" guy over here XD. Exactly the kind of player that DTG aims to sell their products.
It's called honesty... That's what Sean does in his reviews being honest about stuff. Super simple concept, if something is bad it's bad, if it is good it is good. But I guess he should obey and praise DTG no matter what. xD
@@schnauzahpowahz What should they be doing then? Super high res 4k textures? Fine but you are already moaning about the prices. Imagine what the price would be if they did this because it ain't happening for free and will just sky rocket the cost. Might not even be able to do it and make the game run decent?
