Construction Machines 2014

No control options, horrible camera views, non existant physics. Equipment that should weigh tons bounces around like a go kart. Don't waste your time. I've been in construction my whole life so when I see something like this it makes me think my son would get to see a glimpse what it's like...nope. Pass on this junk.

*Un Bias Review 2.0!* Ok First off I would like to say I am sorry for my first review it was mostly because I was in a bad mood after buying the game. There are a few things that I missed on my first playthrough. 1 There is a settings menu, which is great! unfortuatly messing around with the resolution a bit broke the game, my second screen, and my steam, Some how it inverted the colors and filled the screen with dots. Even then the menu screens still were in the wrong resolution and had big black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, In game it fit the screen fine. The second problem I ran into was to do with the physics, I had alot of very bad clipping problems with a few of them resulting in my loader or what ever I was picking up flying into the wall. The third problem was that nothing had any weight or feel to it, it felt as if I was driving a hover loader picking up things with a anti gravity device or something, because they all just slid around on the floor. The fourth thing was the default music was way too loud. While looking in the settings tab I found you could import your own music *♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥* More games need to do that! I can see they were aiming for a realistic feel to the game but it was a bit off. When you are in the first person view you can't see very much so I use the free cam, the only problem with the free cam is most of the sounds are missing when you go into free cam *Engine sounds, Debris hitting the floor ect* The physics just freeze sometimes, the game is still running *rain falling and such* but the loader doesnt move at all. The game runs pretty choppy with fps drops about every 50 seconds. I will list my full pc specs aswell *16GB of RipJaw Z series ddr3 ram, Msi 970A G46, Amd fx 8350 Black Edition running at 4.0Ghz, Radeon 7870 Ghz Editio (Yes I know its bottlenecking right now I am saving up for another one but money is tight right now) and a 750W power suply* There we go I hope this review is less Bias :)

Well I have played 4 hours of it upon writing this review. I am not quite sure where the complaints are coming from but here is my personal experience. Brace yourself it is not exactly short. This will more be a review for people who want a bit more detail of the game instead of just a "it sucks" type of review. Camera: Press C and get into outside view, use left mouse button and can move camera any angle you like. I could post the suggestion to maybe in the future put more camera control in all the views. Graphics: I have not seen an issue there either, when launching game it gives you options to change settings and so far am getting basically what I see in the trailer. If you experience lag, just lower your settings. It has its bumps and jolts here and there but nothing to make it unplayable for me. (Will also add I am not sure how peoples CPUs and GPUs are overheating, Mine are all within normal temperature while running this game) Gameplay: Challenging at times. But I enjoy a challenge. The game will require you to take your time and go slow at times, you are not a racecar driver. But if you do you can complete your challenges, I have been able to complete all them first try so far. You can flip your vehicles over so be careful. To me this just gets you to be careful while playing and adds to the challenge. Yes some things will bounce around, but I only seemed to have that problem if I went at it like a bat out of hell. It just convinced me to take my time doing it which honestly allowed me to enjoy the game more. I find it to be a decent simulation, you are doing just as it describes. If the game made it too easy on you and were able to rush whole thing would not be any playablitity. This game I think is suitable for people into this genre of games, you must be willing to accept this genre before enjoying it. It will not be for everyone. Tips As for anyone having crashes or not starting here is some things I personally found that helped if I ever get an error. 1) Do windows updates 2)Restart computer 3) Launch settings instead of game, click save and play. I have had this fix errors even if I didn't change the settings, is this gamebreaking? Not really as it is a 2 second solution. (If this is your problem. Not saying it will solve everyones but solved mine.) Conclusion: Is the game perfect? No, I am not saying it is, it has its flaws but what game doesn't? The developer has also been quite active with the community to take in feedback which is a plus. Just give him your feedback if you see something, at least this game has an active one. As for the price range, it is only $15, it is not like it is a $40-$60 AAA simulator game. I think the price range for this and how the game plays out is quite worth it for that range for people interested in the genre. If I encouter any game breaking problems I will post it as well but so far my game is still running fine with the exception of the couple things I mentioned, all minor to me.

Controls cannot be reconfigured. Machinery has self-centering steering even when stationary which makes it almost impossible to drive. Machinery has no suspension and the 4WD works intermittently making your machine remain stationary with wheel spin and then launch forward. I gave up in the 2nd mission when you're meant to pickup bricks but the bricks magically bounce back out of your loader bucket when you stop.

Poorly optimized, graphics aren't too good and are covred up with intense lighting. I couldn't play the game because it was so laggy. I was sporting a hard 60 fps sitting in the tractor, literally as soon as the bucket hit the bricks, my fps dropped to 5 fps. Awful, just awful. I would get a refund, but it came with 3 other games for 99 cent, and one of them is actually fun.

8 out of 42 players like this game. Graphics are okay assuming you have high end SLI'd GPU's. Controls aren't good enough to be considered, ARCADE; this game should not even be under the category of simulation. 40 pound rocks can make the Bulldozer flip over; no exaggeration. No speed range. There are only 2 speeds: Fast and Out of Control. Running over 40 pound rocks can cause you to loose what you just scooped up from the ground; no physics at all. I am seriously thinking about reporting this game to the Better Business Bureau; it should be banned from America.

Playway great developers they try hard and then they try even harder despite what people think they stick to it and keep going forwards. Well i have a soft spot for most sim games this game is a bunch of fun im enjoying it and every one is entitled to there own opinion and you will always have negative people but i just tune them out. The game play is great alot to do if you want to do it right the graphics are good with every thing set to max under launch option not shore how people are over heating but with everything set to max CPU runs at 37c and GPU runs at 42c The textures could use little touching up some are little fuzzy not shore if its he type of texture used or the way they are rendered or just me playing with options Controls can be a little frustrating at times they can be rather sensitive but if you take your time and be gentle you can overcome this The game has good game-play with contracts mode free-play mode and challenge mode they are all fun nice range of vehicles but i believe shared vehicle psychics is the only down side but considering the price i can live with that Best of all the developers are active taking suggestions and then fixing the game which seems to be the playway way of doing things which is great and for small price of $14.99 its great value for money

Sim eu sei, eu me arrisquei em comprar esse game, mas agora eu sei que poderia ser melhor, mas eu já esperava isso da PlayWay SA. O jogo é ambientado em um canteiro de obras e oferece aos jogadores a oportunidade de operar uma variedade de máquinas de construção, desde escavadeiras até guindastes. O jogo tem uma jogabilidade razoável, com os jogadores tendo que seguir instruções precisas para operar cada máquina. Isso adiciona um nível adicional de desafio e emoção ao jogo, tornando a experiência de jogo mais envolvente e satisfatória. Além disso, o jogo também apresenta um sistema de progressão, permitindo que os jogadores desbloqueiem novas máquinas e equipamentos à medida que completam diferentes tarefas e projetos. Isso aumenta ainda mais a variedade e a profundidade da jogabilidade, dando aos jogadores uma sensação de realização à medida que progridem no jogo. O Construction Machines 2014 também apresenta gráficos razoáveis e um ambiente sonoro que te coloca na obra, criando uma experiência de jogo autêntica e envolvente. Em resumo, Construction Machines 2014 é um jogo de simulação de construção um pouco realista e envolvente que oferece aos jogadores uma experiência de operar máquinas de construção. Com gráficos satisfatórios, um ambiente sonoro legal e um sistema de progressão mediano. Recomendo apenas em uma super oferta e bem barato.

How PlayWay managed to survive, let alone thrive, after this abysmal release is beyond me. CM14 is amazingly bad, it ticks off all the boxes of how not to do a simulator. Controls are horrid and hard locked, vehicle handling is very jerky and tied to FPS fluctuations, and camera viewpoints are so bad the machines feel like ungainly tanks. CM14 is loaded full of bugs. I was able to complete 3 of the 11 included contracts, the fourth unlocks but is missing the excavator needed to unload crates from the cargo truck. While you can technically unload the truck by reversing into a cement fountain and knocking them out of the cargo bay, this does not count towards level completion. Game audio does not function due to the game randomly flipping through included tracks so fast they don't have time to play. Profiles can delete themselves once created as well as after finishing a couple contracts. I highly recommend skipping CM14, there's a reason PlayWay is still offering a free (similarly aged) game as an apology for this thing if you email them proof of purchase.

"Construction Machines 2014" ist ein Baumaschinen-Simulator. Ich hab mich so auf dieses Game gefreut. Die zahlreichen Negativ-Reviews, die häßlichen Screenshots, alles sprach dafür, wieder mal so eine richtige Gurke vor sich zu haben, bei der gar nichts funktioniert. Und was soll ich sagen: es funktioniert wirklich gar nichts. Allerdings nicht so wie ich es erhofft hatte. Das Spiel startet nicht. Trotz zahlreicher Versuche auf unterschiedlichste Weise und auf zwei unterschiedlichen Rechnern, es startet einfach nicht. Schade, schade. Ich hätte meinen Verriss gerne auf inhaltliche Schwächen, auf grottiges Gameplay und furchbares Design bezogen, so kann ich ihn denn doch nur auf ein anscheinend kaputtes Programm beziehen, das zumindest auf meinen Rechner einfach nicht läuft.
