Dude Simulator 3

In Brief

Dude Simulator is an open world first person life simulator on the lines of Grand Theft Auto. (Graphics are like a smoothed out Minecraft and the colour purple features heavily and reminds me of my teenage bedroom that I painted purple and lilac back in the early 1970's)

Introduction:

Dude Simulator 3 is an open world sandbox game. It is your friend’s birthday tomorrow. You have already bought him a present, now you only have to give it to him. But your friends lives in another city, quite far from you. So you are going to make a long trip, and there are lots of adventures waiting for you on your way there: you will have to earn money, communicate with some people, escape from prison, etc. Apart from the plot mode, in this game you can also explore various cities, find money and spend it on different things, ride cars, enter any buildings, buy something, make jokes on people around you, and so on. In general, you can do whatever can be done in real life.

The Game:

I've just had a ten minute dip into the game just to see if it is worth exploring furtyer and was quite impressed. Dude simulator has a vague feel of one of the early open world first person grand theft auto games, but with very basic graphics that look like a smooth version of Minecraft with respect to graphics but not game play. You start the game in your home and are given some tasks to perform that you can see via the Tab button. these included picking up a present, warming up a pizza in the microwave (I'd never do that, lol), clearing snow off you car (need to find a brush inside the house first), then once the car has been cleared of snow you are asked to find a can of petrol. You then find yourself on the outskirts of town and have to walk in what looks like a blizzard. On entering the town I explored the area, looking for a petrol station. When I cam across a car I checked to see if I could steal it and was successful.

The game plays smoothly and I would recommend you check this game out. Checking out Steam it looks like there's a lot to do and as you progress it looks like you'll be fighting people, shooting and even going to jail. You can see some videos of game play HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE &HERE. There are over 60 mixed reviews of Dude Simulator 3 via the Steam community HERE

It’s actually on sale via Steam at the moment with 90% off, costing £0.39 (usually £3.99). There’s a whole series of these dude simulators i.e. Dude Simulator 1 to 3, Grand Dude Simulator, Fat Dude Simulator, What the Heck, Dude?, Oh...Sir II: The Insult Simulator and How to be a real Dude? and is in my opinion a tongue in cheek take on games like GTA, Mafia and Saints Row. I’ll definitely be keeping this one to explore further when I have time as I do love those open world deliciously naughty games .

The game is basically a free roam romp, where you can do just about anything, though there are objectives to complete like the ones I mentioned above. To access your changing objectives just press the Tab key. You can throw snowballs when its snowing, find weapons and shoot people, rob them of their cash, play ball, steal cars, shop in the mall, cook food and even go to jail. A hand appears when you can interact with something. Use the E key to accomplish the task. Movement is either the WASD or the ↑, ↓, ←, & → . Some community members on Steam gave this a negative because they couldn't figure out how to escape from prison. I've posted a link to a you tube video that shows you how (only watch if you get stuck). you can even burp, pee and fart using your mouse buttons.

Conclusion:

If being able to fart, pee and burp in game is offensive, then don’t download this game. If you enjoyed playing any of the game sI mentioned above i.e. Saints Row, Mafia or Grand Theft Auto, (not the top down versions v1 and 2) then you’ll probably like this despite its stylized and basic graphic. It’s bare bones open world,, but its still fun to play in small bursts. I will be exploring this further and may even buy some of the other games related to this one when the next Steam sale comes up.
