A ship I was supposed to catch in the act of destroying the ecosystem would often run into the edge of the scenery and simply remain stuck until I was done taking my pictures. The game’s limitations worked in my favor quite often, to be frank. The missions are overly simplistic, and I never found a way to explicitly fail one.
SHIP SIMULATOR CONTROL SERIES
The most interesting set has to be a series of missions where you’re working for Greenpeace taking pictures of boats illegally dumping oil or observing some other ne’er-do-well however, it ultimately felt extremely hollow.
The campaigns are made up of a few loosely interconnected missions where you’ll be handling some variation of a job at sea. While there are campaigns available, calling them that is a bit of a stretch. Don’t be surprised the first time you sail in the wrong direction for twenty minutes simply because the objective wasn’t clearly marked.
Ships show up as generic blobs without any distinctive markings and it’s incredibly difficult to see exactly where you’re supposed to be going. While fairly basic radar is available, it’s likely that you have a better tool in your car or cellphone right now. For a landlubber like me, this took a lot of getting used to, but anyone with a moderate amount of experience at sea will be able to jump right in.ĭuring its search for realism, Ship Simulator Extremes‘ development team failed to come up with a quality navigation system for players to use. The controls themselves were fairly precise however it will take a bit of time until you’re able to properly adjust to the way physics will play out in water.
That means their inertia will result in sluggish controls with swooping turns, forcing you to plan ahead so you don’t accidentally overshoot your target. The boats react very much like their real-life counterparts. Ship Simulator Extremes is a simulator first and foremost.
