Is this just another money grab with no real improvements?

[JoblessPilot]

Before I buy I don't want to be disappointed like the last two games that made only very minor additions not worth the price. Is this another one of those?

If you were disappointed in the last two games, there's no reason for you to buy this one.

Thanks. I have been patiently waiting for Giants to actually get serious and make substantial improvements. Unfortunately they seem to ride the cautious money-grab side. What a shame.

Yep. Can't please everybody.

Well, in all fairness, FS25 is the number 2 top selling game on the global charts. So at least a few people are happy, lol.

maybe you neede glasses ./ i see a lot of improvements..adn soem bugs oh yes

you shoudl have waited for reviews to get this, your own mistake.

You need to define "improvement." If you're looking for drastic changes to how the game works, look elsewhere.

Since you use the words "money grab," my sense is you won't be happy with it, regardless of what they did/do/plan.

How can you say they aren't serious? I don't mean to be a a** but they've made massive improvements just from FS22 to now. Is it buggy at the moment, yes, but to say they aren't serious doesn't make much sense. It kinda sounds like either you have unreal expectations or you just aren't really paying much attention. $50 for a game with this much packed into it is a steal.

I think there are definitely improvements. Are they overwhelming...no, but there are enough to make the game better.

Can they improve on realism...absolutely.

Visually i think it's massively improved. Painting textures are better, field textures are better. Although the plowed/cultivate texture may be a bit buggy for me. A bit of Anti aliasing and some delays on my end, but only in that one texture. Not too bad.

Keep in mind it's a little buggy now, and people are reporting performance issues. I'd let things settle down and check back in a few. As for performance i have my Ryzen 3700x RTX 3070 and 32gb ram dialed in pretty good with a solid 60 fps with occasional drop to 55. Which i could squeeze out some more FPS.

its a big improvement from 22. its a new engine too which is very noticeable. If you think GTA 5 is only a reskin of gta 4, then maybe video games arent for you..
They really thought of almost everything and if you ever farmed in a real life, be grateful its not fully realistic.
you remind of the group of MFS 2020 fans who refuse to play the new MFS 2024 and support monet grabs.

lol the lighting is very noticeable and with the volumetric fog is super nice looking. The mud in the tires with visual ground deformation is a improvement. Saying its not is just a lie.

Oh yes, it is improved for sure. But it's certainly not a new engine.

The Ai is light years ahead of any FS game before.

There is a nice jump from 22 to 25. There is a massive jump from 17 to 25. Can't say on previous versions but logically it can only be better than the jump from 17 to 25. It might be a case a short memory but I do think this has been the buggiest release I've played.

The jump from 22 to 25 might not be worth it for some but I'd say it's 100% worth it from 17 or before.

IMO the money grab from Giants comes in all the stupid little DLC's they release. like the pack you got if you pre-ordered but is $5 or $10 if you didn't. Even the big DLC's with new maps etc piss me off with the $. But I'm just a grump old man who remembers the time when you paid full price for a game and got a full game and expansions where often free after. i'll probably pick up the big dlc's for this when they go on steam sale.
