Only ever really played with friends, and with bots. Can't do that anymore.

We are evolving, backwards.

EDIT: Well, literally 1 day after this review, they changed it. You are welcome!

Subscription fees on top of Gamepass fees on top of Lootboxes fees on top of in-game currency buying fees on top of in-game conveniences fees (bank spaces, etc.)

Seems very unoptimized. Had settings set to Ultra and then all the way down to Medium and I was still dropping in the low 40FPS on a 3080 Ti.. Was excited but the constant frame drops are too annoying to deal with.

Well I was excited to play this game again. I played it back last year on my 2080 and it ran flawlessly. This time around the game crashes within a minute on my new 3080ti.. Can't recommend a game that crashes on better hardware.

No update in nearly a year now. Seems to be totally abandoned by the devs.

Since last update, getting constant crashes and Fast Travel is completely broken.

Was a great game prior to this.

I've played a few hundred hours over the years.. I've expect performance improvements, and for a minute I thought they had been done when they release the launcher with all those nice options.. They do nothing. The game will still run on a single core no matter what and that will just strangle any FPS you might want. Running a I9900k at 5.0Ghz paired with a RTX 2080 and you can't get past 50FPS on "high" settings. Could play this game with any graphics card you want really, the CPU will always bottleneck the performance; my GPU usage never goes above 15%. The game needs multicore support to become playable, it's been years now.

Can't rotate fans, radiators..No cable management. Missing pretty much anything that's came out in the last 2 years..

Beautiful scenery, lots of animals!

The map seems fairly small and unfortunately am stuck on the 3rd or 4th mission "A dangerous reaction", where I'm supposed to be picking up a sign and planting it, yet it's not there. Seeing as there are no side missions on this DLC, and I'm stuck with a bugged out main mission, I can't recommend this DLC.

EDIT: September 8th, mission "Old Haunts" is still bugged out and it is impossible to progress with the story line. It has been 3 months now.. I would rather not have to start a brand new save in order to get past this.

FS19 in its current state simply isn't ready to be released. Yes, the graphics are stunning compared to the previous games, unfortunately that's the only good thing I can think of the game in its current state.

The physics are worse than ever, pallets either stick to the ground or flip in the air when you try to pick them up,
Logs are indredibly heavy for some reason, forcing you to use logging machines/forks to pick up the tiniest of logs,
The logs have the worst collision I've ever seen in the FS series ; they float when you put them on trailers, won't let you fully close the log fork when picking them up, they'll slide off the machinery at most random times,
The current mission system is so un-rewarding it's not worth doing 90% of the time,
AI is dumber than ever, won't finish half the jobs you start them up and give you "unkown reason" as an excuse to stop working,
Lots of reported bug/glitches with Controllers bindings,
The new placeable farm features is incredibly costly should you place something on the tiniest of slope, etc..

This game has a lot of potential and I'm sure will become one of the best Farming Sims out there, but in its current state (just released I know we should expect "some" bugs), there are way too many downsides for it to be enjoyable.
