23 of 23 · most liked firstRailroads Online devs deleting any criticism of their game on Steam after rushing the most half-assed 1.0 release possible:
unlabelledView post →Live with Railroads Online! Thanks to a key from the devs, I can show you all my first look at this 1st person railroad building and sim game. twitch.tv/jimorian #ad #RailroadsOnline #Twitch
unlabelledView post →Railroads Online is a funny game to play in that you can almost do archeology comparing the models from different points in the development cycle. The new Lima 2-8-0 vs. the 8-20D "Glenbrook" make an excellent case study.
unlabelledView post →Yeah I made the reddit post on the article and brought it up in the discord. As someone said in discord "everyone here keeps changing the topic to anything but Railroads Online because they're so afraid of acknowledging that the game is near death."
unlabelledView post →Tonight at 7PM EST, my first time playing Railroads Online, and I've signed up for DareDrop! RRO just launched it's 1.0 game so let's check it out! twitch.tv/setzera #setzera #railroadsonline #twitch #daredrop
unlabelledView post →Coming in May, Railroads Online rushing in the ability to have cross-compatibility between link & pin and knuckle couplers; introduce several game breaking bugs in the process (Error: RO has deleted your computer's Operating System!) 🤪
unlabelledView post →Thats me with any game that is like that. Railroader and Railroads Online. As soon as you branch out and have much more places to visit and resources to do theres only one of me and theres too many things to do all at once...
unlabelledView post →Choo-choo! 🚂 Railroads Online! hits full release on Dec 5. Build tracks, run trains, and manage logistics with friends in a sprawling multiplayer sandbox! 🛤️ @gematsu.com @salromano.bsky.social www.gematsu.com/2024/11/rail...
unlabelledView post →I know I am terribly cynical about Railroads Online, but a part of me hopes the console release is successful so I can just say "RO is my console train game and CoS will be my PC train game" and everyone is happy.
unlabelledView post →Me when the Railroads Online itch hits again. (pls do not buy this game the amount of controversy surrounding it is absurd)
unlabelledView post →Checking out the new update for #RailroadsOnline. 'The Sound of Silence' starts playing in my head. Everything from their lazy implementation of knuckle couplers, over the new roundhouse, which is placed way higher than regular track and doesn't snap to anything when placing, to the washed out textures of the track ties... good job. #CenturyOfSteam can't come soon enough.
unlabelledView post →The current player count for Railroads Online after it's last update is only a third of the population of the prior big update last year. Meanwhile their dev team keeps locking negative opinions on their Steam page. Fun times for their game. 🤣
unlabelledView post →Neat. Which game? I'm guessing from 3' gauge either Trainz, Railroads Online, or Century of Steam?
unlabelledView post →Railroads Online just ain’t it, Century of Steam is the same game but not even out yet, and some of the other simulators are hit and miss… To make a “perfect” train game would mean making it yourself lol
unlabelledView post →So, #RailroadsOnline released last week and while the dev team's moderators have been ruling the discord server and steam forums with an iron fist for years, r/RailroadsOnline has been more open for criticism of the game. Which is exactly what the game has been getting for all the bugs, expected features it just doesn't have, and other shortcomings. The reddit mods just remove the "bug report" flair amongst other things and are trying to establish megathreads for certain parts of the…
unlabelledView post →Railroads Online is soon leaving early access and getting a full release. 🚂🎮 simulationdaily.com/news/railroa...
unlabelledView post →Decided to finally give up on #RailroadsOnline . The game is plagued by a ton of bugs and directionless design decisions and the updates don't make it better. Spent almost a year on this map, but today I'm working on bringing this playthrough to a proper ending. I may still check out the next update to see one major feature they've promised for a while, but I am done waiting for this game to get to an enjoyable state where I don't have to work around a ton of bugs all the time.
unlabelledView post →Playing #RailroadsOnline Had to connect 5 routes in a specific way. Easy option would have been 3 3-way junctions in series. Sadly for everybody involved (hey that's me!) I don't do easy.
unlabelledView post →Never forget that Railroads Online is such a sloppy repackaging of the developer's failed previous train game that it still had the same .exe icon and program name at launch.
unlabelledView post →It sucks that Railroads Online ended up being a cash grab recycle of a flop game that got successful from marketing and then chose a toxic fascistic homophobic fanbase over it's trans composer, but hey: now there's a better train game being made by people disappointed by RO's devs/gameplay.
unlabelledView post →So #RailroadsOnline just updated it's main branch to Unreal Engine 5, making it pretty much unplayable for a lot of people with older PCs who could run it before. I knew this would come looking at the beta branch and I was not looking forward to it. Thankfully there's at least a legacy branch in the beta options to keep playing on the older version, but only found that by looking.
unlabelledView post →Einigermaßen zufrieden mit der Zugbildungsanlage in Railroads Online. Was dem Spiel (Early Access) definitiv fehlt sind Kreuzungsweichen und Hosenträger. Dann könnte ich so richtig loslegen. Nächster Plan: Abrollberg im Norden. Müsste von der Überwerfung abzweigen denke ich. Heißt aber, dass man für den Einsatz zwecks Wagensortierung wohl drei Spieler braucht. #bahn #bahnsimulator #railroadsonline #gaming #spiel
unlabelledView post →I love watching Kan and Hyce play #RailroadsOnline. So much great information about steam trains; Hyce runs steam trains for a heritage railroad in the US, so has a great depth of knowledge, especially about narrow gauge steam railroads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVAwDQq3XH0
