Anyone else trying to be surprised?

[Old-an-Slow]

I always dig into every bit of info available when a new game I'm interested in is coming soon. FS19 is easier than most with the great community here being full of information ninjas . I end up not having the big surprises because I've done too much detective work beforehand.

This time, with FS19, I want to be as surprised as possible. I've put myself on media blackout for this one because I don't want to know everything before my copy is in my hands (yes physical ftw). Well, at least video blackout . I am reading thread headlines here, the dev blogs so far, but that's it. My last watched vid was the Gamescom trailer, until I make my own on PS4. I hear the Youtube gameplay from the preview version is really informative but, nope, not gonna watch. I want that kid on their birthday feeling, cracking open that first present! I hope my strength holds when the Fact Sheets start appearing.

Anyone else trying to stay a little bit blind on FS19? Am I the only one not digging for every bit of info from every source? Am I crazy?

nope not crazy. that's why I wished we didn't have all this social media. because it does take a little away when you do get the game..

ive been the same way.. im SUPER excited for November.. but.. I really haven't gone out of my way to dig up any info on it beyond the snips of info I find on here.. I just got around to watching the gamecom video the other day and omg I about died when I seen the hopper bottom grain trailer as this is something I used when I farmed with my grandpa and I really really wanted it in the base game.. Im super happy with what I already know about the game and I cant wait for nov to hurry and get here

I like to see the new features and what you can do in the game so that I don't spend the first couple days exploring what's new, this way I already know what things I want to try out and what equipment I want to use. If anything, it gets me more excited for the game seeing what's coming.

I was going to try, than they went and put the biggest surprise of all front and center on the game cover.

I avoid spoilers when it comes to games with a story, but I want to know every detail I can before I buy a simulator.

I’ve already a tried to find any new tidbit or video of fs as soon as I could I love these games

[BigC92]

Here's the thing, yes i want as much information as possible, go to YouTube, ill find gameplay videos, great, i click on them and its either in some other language, or theres no commentary, i watched the video with Lis in it, and the video didn't have subtitles, im sure Giants has features in game that we will have to discover ourselves.

To me honestly, game mechanics are the best thing to learn about, and you can only learn them by playing. Im interested to see what kindof interactions we will get with certain things, and this includes mods as well. I learn something new all the time, and recording videos has pushed that even more. Because I do different things, or try to do things quickly to make up as much time you learn some odd things. IE, when using the Creator Tools mod and turning a field to a fully grown and plowed state, the plowed state only lasts that one harvest. Or that workers use a button hook turn or pull forward and reverse, or a combination of the two not at random but based on implement type and field boundaries which leads to innovative ways to make them work in certain fields.

Things like that I am very excited to see, tractors and shiny things are neat, but can i grab a bale while riding a horse to make a magical flying pony, thats where the meat is.

[BigC92]

I absolutely agree fcdrifter, i mean modders get to feel and study new features, and ask those self-questions, like, How can i make this or that feature better? Or what features can i take advantage of? Questions like that, the features is what draws most people to games such as this, it really opens doors for modders, i get where your coming from. Well said my friend.

i have never wanted to suprise myself with this game...i gotta be up to date at every waking hour...its kinda suspensful actually, i saw JD and almost blacked out for a second guring the E3 trailer

[TallPaul003]

The thing is with FS17 though, is I've learnt probably only 30% from doing things myself and 70% from watching things and learning from others (youtube, on here, discord etc)

it's not like a normal game where there's spoilers- with these simulators you're much better prepared having all the information (especially with the confusing aspect of FS... which the new store might hopefully eliminate somewhat)

I am trying to keep most of it a surprise... I come by once in a while... read the few important threads and mark the rest of the forum read.

I will be surprised if there isnt any game altering bugs.
