Quick Look: Euro Truck Simulator 2

Jeff is really holding back Giant Bomb. If Vinny was in charge things would be different.

QFT. Jeff needs to hit the road in a truck!

I know this isn't feasable for a variety of reasons, but imagine that they recorded this, then cleaned up (removed mods) and had Ryan and Patrick do a QL (Patrick driving) too without them knowing about this QL.

Vinny should get a raise.

Yes. Best Giant Bomb Employee since 2008.

That Gagnam Style remix was perfect.

This reminded me of top gear truck challenge!

Also they have to play cross country canada!

Does Vinny ever close anything he opens?

Whelp... 2013's done! Ryan "never start the show with a show-stopper" Davis is gonna be pissed!

"It was a Daek night, but so was I."

2 hours of people fucking around in a simulator game is the reason I come to Giantbomb!!

not enough smokey & the bandit references. but this was incredible. Cab Crew should be the new flight club.

A new QL classic! I loved this one a lot!

And VLR - DK's a danish station! I don't know if I'm proud of that, as a dane...

at 1:30:00 It was basically Initial D with trucks

Damn what an awesome Quick Look.

ETS2 does not have enough prostitutes to murder. This makes me sad.

This QL was an instant classic. Was so great to watch this one unfold. Couldn't have asked for a better group of dudes for this one, too. Basically, Flight Club plus Alexis. Good shit.

I watched something longer than many feature-length films. I love it and I also wonder what I'm doing with my life

There was is old German TV show about truckers. It was pretty rad for its time.

Oh my god the bullshit it took to get the mods and cheats to work... I was clawing my desk just knowing that even with all that bullshit with bad links and shady sites I'd be able to download it in like 30 seconds from the word go.

Oh, but god damn was this an awesome quick look! :D

Did someone say "Adele - she's Dutch isn't she?". Oi vey.

Sarcasm is what that was.

i love that vinny just swerves all over the road while he's trying to figure things out lol.

15 minutes in and I'm already out of breath from laughter. They're starting off 2013 Quick looks off right.

who was the cocksucker who said "this is so embarassing2 in chat?

get hte fuck out

For your listening pleasure, the Czech country song they were listening to in the beginning - I lost it when they got stuck and in the radio was playing song about a "driver who had known many routes around the world but his boss wouldn't let him drive with a guitar, because in that case he wouldn't get very far..." :D

@Camling:

And since we're at it: AT stands for Austria so the language woud be german. And SK is Slovakia

@Abendlaender: I like the idea that AT = Atlantis

Eurotrash on the radio.

Vinny in the driver's seat.

Viruses on the company PCs.

Truck's on its side.

Giant Bomb.

I really love how GiantBomb leaves their videos uncut. Seriously, they could have cut a whole bunch of this and the Sleeping Dogs Halloween video and it would be all for the worse.

hahahahahaha the Amy Grant lmao

Yes.

My god this is amazing.

This is a masterpiece

Those characters could be in an in-game card game. Collect all the truckers.

Excellently done.

Vinny's mad driving

Eurotrash bumping, LOOK OUT

He's a...Giant Bomb!

Dave says: "Don't be an asshole on the internet."

oops...

This is two hours long.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

Now we just need a Train Simulator QL...

Edit: Nevermind.

wow that took a turn

Vids like these are why I love this site.

Disregarding how incredible this QL is, I have to say, the game actually looks really spectacular for what it is. Seems like a really solid sim. Environments look realistic in a video game kinda way, the truck looks like it feels like a truck should... And if it's got all those places in Europe represented, that's a pretty thorough world they must've built. Streaming actual European radio into the game is a stroke of genius, too. I wonder what the chances are of seeing Scandinavia represented in Euro Trucker 3... I could pretend to do what some of my friends do for a living! Edit: Yes, Drew. Danish is, basically, backwards.

Never played the previous game, but I think some Scandinavian locations were available in expansions for that, they'll probably do something like that for this too, and I agree, this game seems to do a solid job at what it sets out to do.

Best Quick Look of 2013

Quick Looks like this are what GiantBomb is all about. Fantastic. "I'm a god damn truck." - Vinny 2013

I still wish they disconnected the trailer at top speed!

At around 30:10: They better slow down. Slow down, guys. Slow. Down. -bam- Told you.

I loved this.

5 days into 2013...QL OF THE YEAR!!

This was a great quick look, had plenty of laughs.

@Moonshadow101: I got it and played for about an hour and half.

Alone.

Except for the Internet radio.

DAMN YOU GIANT BOMB FOR MAKING THESE GAMES LOOK HYPE AS SHIT!

Giant Bomb Euro Simulator Endurance Run Megamix coming later this year?

You know, I understand that while they're playing it's like, it's goofy, so it seems appealing, but...

I feel really weirdly drawn to this game? It seems legitimately kind of interesting, and that scares me

"cheatengine.exe, what could go wrong?"

wowzers.
