What POSITIVES are there?:
AI cars are faster and overtake realistically (mostly) .. BUT they turn unrealistically.

[the-pacifieruk]

Thank god for modders... Without them this game wouldn't be worth playing

When there is no competition, there is no real push for invasion. It's a game of what's the least we can give them (playerbase), and the most we can charge them for it.

The shader issue is an issue that they should have known about. Do they not test their game on the most used hardware components gamers are using.

In all honesty, they should have just stayed updating fs22 but added more things to it. Like new crops, vehicle physics, animal interaction, etc.

In my personal opinion they need to do two things. Go to the community and have a written (not tick box) questionnaire on what you want to be added.

Secondly, they should ask the community what mods would enhance the game and look to help/encourage and/or implement them into the game. Even if that means outsourcing the manpower beyond their own company like even the original modders themselves. Have a good dialogue with them, so mod development for most download and used mods can be included on launch.

One of my biggest gripes is with painting and terraforming. You can have a square, but you can't rotate it by degrees of, say, 5. If your field isn't directly 90 degrees compared to the map, then the square tool is useless for fields.

Prebought the game played about 5 hrs just exploring the few changes and now I'm leaving it until the moders are fully in the swing of things. Currently, there are better graphics, more gameplay, and content in 22. So generally, there is no point in the game right now.

Was talking to a coworker today about FS25. I was starting to talk about the things they've added since I first got into the franchise with FS19 and it dawned on me that pretty much every "new feature" was just a mod from a previous title in the franchise.
I found myself frustrated with the AI more often than not. A lot of things are not even remotely intuitive. Simple things, like getting rid of the trees on the farm in Riverbend, are just pure headache. I genuinely thought things like this would have been fixed, or at least not be as bad as they were in earlier titles, but it feels like some of them are worse.

[StewartEvans]

You are right i did buy it i have played it and right now without the mods i much prefer fs22, what a sorry state of affairs

[soulhunter]

The only real production is milking, and we are the cows! Mooo! Agree with you! Except that all civilised nations drive on the right side! 😘

[KerboOnYT]

There's no need to innovate when you can sell millions of copies of the same thing every couple of years. Edit: FS19 was the last version I bought

[Citizen]

The Asian map, while having some minor similarities, isn't even close to japanese . It's a generic representation of the east Asian stereotype, and a bad one at that.

[JustintimeGrowNetwork]

Companies like this are why pirating exists.

Best Farming Simulator 25 review by far. Well done sir you gained a new subscriber for your honest review.

[benjaminvanschoors]

Things I don't agree with:

4:46 What? FS 25 has the most machinery at release compared to any of its predecessors. Am I missing something?
7:00 What exactly is pathetic about it? It does pretty much what you want it to do: deform the ground.
7:05 Useless? Maybe you're not setting them up properly according to their capabilities.
7:20 Bro, a cheap and easy addition is still... well, an addition. I'm happy with all the additions I can get.
10:00 PEGI 3, my friend.

Don't get me wrong though; I agree with all the other points of criticism you bring up, but the negative tone of this video puts me off. Giants are (sadly) the only ones creating anything even close to a farming simulator, which I’ll always be grateful for —as well for allowing the arise of the modding community that has grown alongside the franchise. I’ll happily buy this game in a year or so when a good deal shows up. By then, all my favourite realism mods should be available.

You have to accept that many Farming Simulator players (I’d even think more than 50%) don’t want a super-realistic simulator, and Giants knows this. This is why the game —sad as it is— feels like something between an arcade game and a simulator rather than a true simulator. I accepted this long ago, but I also recognize that FS would never have grown as big as it is now if it weren’t for this approach.

No improvement since they brought forestry FS15.
I expected more simulation, the SOIL in the fields WHEN WORKED do not follow the travel of direction of the tools being used, regarding the ground deformation which I expected to be fully implemented, by this stage of all theses years of development. (Real farm had that feature I reviewed it on youtube 7 years ago!!! )
By now I expected to be able to :
1.dig holes, drainage. Wells etc.
2. Be able to pump and manage water.
3. Be able to have seed and things delivered by the 'shop'
4. Have PERMANENT wheel ruts, tyre marks, that become part of the 3D ground model and texture map.
5. Why does it get light in STEPS in FS25.
6. Literaly ZERO improvement on the forestry aspect, its even hard (still) to pick things up.
7. Objects are so hard and obtuse to manipulate, including the LOGGING.
8. Soil PHYSICS, where are they, ??? xbox 360 had them in FROM DUST and REAL FARM also implimented soil Physics.
9. Why have we STILL after YEARS got a small, very small visible detail 'bubble' around us ??? The computers and consoles are a 100 or more times BETTER than even FS15 but the graphics and PHYSICS are exactly as they always were, save a resolution difference we now have. Its the SAME in game engine in all respects including clunky VERY CLUNKY VERY AWKWARD PHYSICS.
£70+ !!!! YOU GOTTA BE JOKING GIANTS, You are as LAZY and GREEDY as DOVETAIL who release the same game EVERY year. The only saving grace is you at giants sit on your backsides for 3 years between very lazy releases, having implimented the MODS people made for free for you. EG 'SEASONS' for FS 17.
10. GIANTS SOFWAREARE LAZY and GREEDY
11. Giants sofware are lazy and greedy.
12. I know I repeated myself, but that part is so important its worth saying twice ( or more)

[Ivansson]

what really bugs me the most is that they still stick with the same angles for terrain. take the potato planting for example. 2 angles. its ridiculous. I mean, its not that hard to implement more ground angles. why do they stick with so few?

[rusrad]

Pretty much exactly what I expected, lol

If it drops to like £10 on steam offer, then maybe!

[sebastianthehotsaucedude]

DJ go ham over there acting like it's the best thing he's ever seen. Corporate shill if I've ever seen one. Farmer Cop too.

[SooHooSamaSito]

I think GIANTS spent more time worrying about their bought and paid for influencers rather than developing a new game. When influencers like MrSealyP delete comments that they don't agree with, it's a sad state of affairs. To give up credibility so that you don't affect your partner status with GIANTS is a shame.

[randomdude]

Finally someone dares to say that. Seeing every Youtuber praising this game, i really started to question myself. I am simply disapointed of what this game is and i could not agree more with what you said in the video.
One sidenote though: A lot of tractors in real life (at least the ones i have driven) do not automatically return the blinker.

[Voice-Of-British-Native]

OMG, exactly what I’ve been screaming, , I’m sick of hearing privilege YouTubers, who have been given this game, and much more, talk complete bull, trying to sell this Rubbish, One of them, who was playing on PS5, proving to his victims how bad the graphics is, but still trying to make it sound good, has now suddenly been given a PS5+, strange, trying to make it look better for Giants, , GTA5 is 10+ years old, that’s a game, not a sim, and all graphics, details, NPC’s/vehicles interactions look real, rain, snow, wind, fog, mist, trees, grass, flowers and illegal crops, as well as map size, and deformation, runs circles around FS25. I feel we have been robbed, and I’m utterly disgusted, Giants have gave us nothing, other than a bad attempt, to what modders had already given us, why do modders have to make this game worth the value that giants get all the profits for, , , I suggest that giants, don’t bother trying to launch another one in 2029, but spend the next 8 years improving this one, and make it worth the price tag..

[HisNameIsRobertPaulson]

I wish Cattle and Crops didn't quit production on their game.

[Kevin]

This rings true and needs way more views. Finally an honest review out there. From what I've seen(wont be buying FS25 for $50, EVER!) the AI has been improved from previous versions. Other than that, These were all good points.
