      I mean if Ben went to Strasbourg he would only have to go 5km to get to Kehl, a town in Germany, which is possible for him to do in the 2-3 hours it would've taken the others to get to Strasbourg. So I guess they could've let him get to Germany?

  • @livethefuture2492

    While i love the fact that their finally doing tag across Europe again as it was indeed my favorite series, i think they should have at least changed up the locations up a bit to make it a bit different.
    I think they should keep the same format but change up the start and end locations, you know like starting off in a more central location like Switzerland instead, with end locations in France, Germany and Italy i think would make for a much more interesting and varied gameplay experience.
    instead of it just being predominantly concentrated in France.
    So its not just the same dozen locations in France and we get to see more interesting forms of transport and across many different countries in Europe with their own unique transportation systems, make the game more interesting that way. It is called Tag Across *Europe* after all.

      They explain in the podcast why they didn't. Mostly, they just wanted to see how round 2 went, after they've already had a full season of experience under their belt. Also, they didn't say this, but I'm sure they picked the best 3 points that are the farthest and most even apart the first time, not knowing that they would revisit eventually.

I took 2 RB regio trains in Germany 2 days ago and they both left and arrived exactly on time, not even 1 minute late. once you have tried to travel france in earnest without the tgv you will see that it is a complete mess because the simply have not enough option to get from a to b, sometimes there is no train, no nothing or sometimes there is one train per day.

      While i love the fact that their finally doing tag across Europe again as it was indeed my favorite series, i think they should have at least changed up the locations up a bit to make it a bit different.
      I think they should keep the same format but change up the start and end locations, you know like starting off in a more central location like Switzerland instead, with end locations in France, Germany and Italy i think would make for a much more interesting and varied gameplay experience.
      instead of it just being predominantly concentrated in France.
      So its not just the same dozen locations in France and we get to see more interesting forms of transport and across many different countries in Europe with their own unique transportation systems, make the game more interesting that way. It is called Tag Across *Europe* after all.

    • @mehdibakhtar2497
      @mehdibakhtar2497 Před 8 měsíci

      ​​​​​@@nathanvrvrt I'm really not sure about this idea...
      The problem with it is that if they start the game already away from each other, the 2 chasers wouldn't be together to strategize which is inconvenient and the person starting as runner would have a massive advantage (since 2 players are supposed to start in less isolated cities, it would be really easy for them to just take 2 or 3 trains and maybe 1 bus straight to the center without any risk of being caught because the other 2 players are too far to even cut off the third one). Additionally, if they had to each come back to their starting position after each tag, it would take them hours to "reset" to their initial positions while the game is paused and only then would the game be able to unpause so it wouldn't be as dynamic/fluid. Overall, if this idea was done on this big map with those key locations, the game would be very unbalanced and less entertaining. Although, on a smaller map, with a small headstart for the chasers, and with more reliable ways of transportation less subject to delays, it could be good.
      Starting at the center with a headstart for the runner makes the game more challenging, players have to be in a rush much more, they have more occasions to catch up to or tag each other which creates tense moments for the audience, it also keeps the game shorter without spending too much budget in the process which is ideal for production.
