From there, if you are anything like me you will have a little cry in the corner, drink half a bottle of whiskey, muster up some Dutch courage and then go back in for another go. One touch of the thumbstick up and the digger up will unfurl, one touch on the right and the scoop on the end of the digger arm will face down, similarly, the one on left will see it move up, before all hell breaks loose. Then with a touch of the button, you drop it into work mode where the vehicle will steady itself, before allowing you to unfurl the digger arms. Let’s say you have your backhoe (a big yellow digger for the layman) – you will first need to drive it to the correct position. For newcomers however, it will be a bit difficult to get used to.
CONSTRUCTION SIMULATOR 2012 WALKTHROUGH SERIES
The UI that appears when you want help doing a job looks clean and simple, and for those who have played previous incarnations of this series it will be like riding a very rickety bike again. Your main task though is to take up the jobs offered to you around the city, earn money, buy additional vehicles and level up in an RPG style to become the best of the best in the construction business. If you haven’t then you need to listen carefully to the tutorial, because if you don’t you’ll be left scrambling around for ideas when things get tricky.
CONSTRUCTION SIMULATOR 2012 WALKTHROUGH SIMULATOR
If you’ve played Construction Simulator 2 then you’ll be right at home here as, being honest, there’s not too much of a change in terms of the setup of the game. You’re then tutored by a well-mustached construction man, get to embrace some buddy dialogue and are thrust away to learn the trade. It runs something along the lines of you being a successful games designer who has got to a point in your career where you are now financially comfortable and able to pursue your one true love… building a construction empire.
There is a mad narrative at play here as well, one which unfolds after you’ve chosen your character profile and name. There are three separate districts to the game though a small hamlet/village area with countryside and forest, to begin with, before you get the chance to proceed into the big city and industrial areas which open up later on. Construction Simulator 3 is set in Germany in the lovely little city of Neustin.
