Farming Simulator 25 - For new player

[2-D]

Now that you can pre-order Farming Simulator 25, will you guys pre-order the game? Is it worth buying it? (I'm asking as a new player who never played Farming Simulator)

Regardless, what your paying for for FS25, is a brand name with no improvements; likely more broken than the previous title, and with a few more "Free Mods" included as "DLC Only" content (Kubata pack blantaly ripped Universal Passenger from FS19 for example, and monitized it) At this point, giants has none of my respect, and all of my suspicion; which wasn't always the case. My Best Advice, honestly is to wait till the announcement of the Next Farming Simulator to buy the current one, as by then the sales are significantly discounted; you pay more to get it before it's "Near End of Support".

Fun Fact: Once Upon a time (read for a few months after release) Farming Simulator 22 was 59.99 USD, they recently permanently slashed the price by over 20 USD.

Great, then if what you say is true and this is not top-notch quality, you should be able to name another farming simulator game that is superior to Farming Simulator. If not, then hence my statement it is top notch quality.

Also there are bugs that are still in game that have been around since FS13.

Ok, educate me. Which bugs have been around since FS13?

Nowhere did I state that was a statistic. That would be you straw-manning my position by calling it a statistic and then arguing for evidence of your own straw-man. As I stated earlier one reply prior…

For many, it is just about prioritization of funds and potentially living within your means.

What I shared was an example with fast food as the ‘living beyond your means’ item. You can insert literally anything into the example for it to be true.

We can even goes as far saying that, since every iteration they implement the previous DLC into the base game, it could make sense to pay 50€ for a new one, but then, why pay 50€for a new game that's the same the previous, if i can simply play the previous?
Why they didn't made a DLC instead?

I see your point, but let’s take it to the extreme case. Why did they even bother to sell us a new game every 2-3 years since FS13? Why couldn’t they have just progressively upgraded the engine and given us all the updates for free? That’s essentially what some are arguing here is, “The changes we perceive between version A and version B are minor to us, so they should just give them as a game update for free”.

The answer is they are a business and need to make money. Any business owner knows there are decisions that go into what type of services or goods to charge for and others that are offered complementary or potentially at a loss to your business to give perceived value. At the end of it all, it is still only $50. For many, that is less than 1 hour of work and for others it may be a few hours of work. It just comes down to how badly you want the new shiny object. Cheers.

Nobody ask for free, there's an huge leap between "free" and "overpriced", they could have easily made a couple or three iterations of the game and expanded with dlc like other games are succesfully making.

We can't seriouslly be ok with such marketing behaviour, a couple of most known mods, a couple of "new" fx, a map, a bunch of vehicles and a 50€ price tag.

They could have easily fit the "new features" into a third season pass for Fs22 for 40€, that's the major problem, not the 50€ per se.
We wanna value for our money, not more of the same, if you're ok good for you, but don't expect everyone to waste money on an overpriced dlc sold as a new game.

Are we serious?

And dude "you should be able to name another farming simulator game that is superior to Farming Simulator. If not, then hence my statement it is top notch quality."
That's an hell of a stretch, a ♥♥♥♥ cake it's still a ♥♥♥♥ cake even if it's the only cake available in the bakery.

People keep buying it because there's no other game alike, they are pretty much forced, but doesn't mean they can't be critics or negative about it.
And a lot are players new to the franchise aswell.

Does money means nothig for you that you're ready to send them blindly?

We get what they give us. If there was a better game out there, I'd play it, but there's not. If you want to farm, you're farming with Giants. Crying about it to other users on the forums accomplishes nothing. If you don't see the value, don't buy it. I could really care less either way.

I bought both FS19 and FS22 at full price. I played each of them for 1500 hours. That's three cents and hour. I'm good with that. That isn't spending money blindly.

Yes, because you're payin' three times for the same thing, doesn't matter how many hours you played, you're playing the same thing three times at full price, can't you see it?
How can you preorder a game and a pack that doesn't even tell you what's inside?

Sorry man, I just don't see the injustice that you do. They make a solid, but not perfect game, and I like modding it. 50 bucks every couple of years isn't a big deal. I don't see the conspiracy.

This whole thread is filled with people, including yourself, who have said the game is basically the same each iteration with little change, which is quite an exaggeration in itself. True that perhaps you may not be asking for it for free, but others have within this thread. It is too subjective to have the price determined by what you think its worth in the end.

Lastly, the comment about naming a better game was directed at the other guy, but I encourage anyone to reply with an answer. The fact that there isn't a better game and I can think of like 5-6 other competitors that are terrible, says it is the best. Happy to be wrong though here and someone name a new farming game for me to buy next.

+1 to this energy, logic and reason. Just common sense. I can't understand why people feel they are being ripped off over the price being $50. That is almost nothing for a video game of a AAA title company.

[illgib]

I don't know, i can't see myself spend that much in a short time between games too similar.
I had more than 1700h in Fs19, i had base 22 on Epic and rebought here last month when i finally found a good deal for the premium, that i couldn't otherwise for their strange upgdare policy, but a 50€ bill when the previous game it's still young alive and breathing it's an insult.

[Wizard]

My wife spends $300 every 10 weeks getting her hair done. It drives me crazy. To keep the peace and not go insane, every 3 years I spend $50 on a farming game, so I can drive forward at 6mph, for hours at a time.

[illgib]

I wait for some ingame footage, i need something to really blow me away to make me wanna spend the money.
I'll probably end buying anyway, but later on when they have iron out all the dlcs and i find a good doscount.
Or this time i just wait for Epic, i bought it a week before they gifted it.
I can't see me preordering now nore buying at full price anytime, but that's a thing for other games aswell.

[Mr.Eastwood]

I would absolutely never preorder something without actually seeing working gameplay, especially an FS game. I own 13, 15 and 19. Until I've seen that they've addressed brain dead field AI, brain dead traffic, wonky physics and making the game feel more 'alive', I'll be holding off.

lmao

Actually you can compare its price with many things, even food, which is pretty expensive pos-Covid. I said before paid less for the FS 22 Premium DLC (on Epic, without Discount) than for a Pizza I bought the same day. Two pizzas would pay the pre-order of FS 25.

But the most accurate comparison for me is other videogames.

The STANDARD edition of Madden 25 on pre-sale is 70 dollars - a 100 dollars bill for the Deluxe Version. This is a Football game that gets ABSOLUTELY outdated on the very next year, with players transfers, people rushing to abandon the online to play the newer version when it´s yearly released. Everyone who ever played an EA Sports game know their games differs almost NOTHING for previous versions. And not many people plays it thousands and thousands hours like FS.


At worst the FS25 will be the most "modern" version of series for like two/three years.

nope. they cant fix this game. let alone make a new one wich runs fine no trust anymore in giants. they killed it after fs19. so no thank you i dont pre order it maybe when it runs good in 2026 i buy it as a key from the websites for 5 bucks.
