I thought it was pretty cool and even saw the opening of the website (it was still a countdown before the game's release.) I thought about buying it for $5 but I was like "nah" and just left it. Lurked on the forums and on and off but was never really involved in the community.īut I heard about BeamNG when nadeox1 posted a video showcasing the crashes from when the devs were livestreaming the game on Twitch a couple weeks before launch. Discovered Rigs of Rods back in late 2010, early 2011 on YouTube from video like this:Īnd from compilations from people like (who has since deleted all his old compilations :sadface: ) and jaimswallace aka Kryton. I don't contribute mch to the forum, but having recently made my first proper account for the website, I want to say that, though I don't watch his videos anymore, Nerd3, because he quenched my thirst for the game of my dreams. Bored with Gta's strip clubs and whatnot, I went on Steam, and regretting the fact I had forgot my username for my original purchase in 2014, I shelled out the £18.99 it cost to buy the game again (almost £10 more than I had spent not too long before).
Sadly I uninstalled it not 6 months later, favouring Gta 5. I didn't even bother with the techdemo, but went straight for the full version at the time. This time, I was happier than never before. In 2014, I found BeamNG, again thanks to a video uploaded by nerd3. However, I kept it as it was the closest thing to my dream I had ever seen.
The graphics were, to my 2004 era standards, very good, but I wanted something a bit technical, something I could screw around with. Having no money for myself, I downloaded the techdemo, but it kind of left me a fair ways from the realism I wanted. I found his NextCarGame (now Wreckfest) video first and as soon as I saw it I was like "FUUCK YEAAAAAH". Then I found the nerd3 channel a year or two later and I became obsessed. Believe it or not, this was the first time I had regularly used YouTube in my life.
I couldn't find (because it was so little known back then) BeamNG so I made do with watching videos of ADAC crash tests (the first video I watched was them crashing a Renault Laguna 2006 at 80km/h just for your interest). I decide to buy Gta San Andreas for my MSI (can't remember what model it was) and as soon as my first car blew up, I thought: "I wonder if there is a racing/open world game with realistic crash physics.
