Is FS19 missing something?
The more I play FS19, the more I feel that it's just missing something that FS17 had. The new lighting system is nice, and the detail in graphics at close range is improved. I've got close to 300 hours into Marwell now, which is the more than I had on any 17 map, and I do have fun playing, but the more I play, the stronger the urge is to go back and play on FS17. And I'm trying to figure out why that is.

Seasons maybe? I don't feel I've been as in depth in 19 without Seasons. It just feels maybe more structured with it? Not sure if that's the right word.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
Yes I agree as in fs17 we did not have seasons until it came out so we didn't miss it as for fs19 we know what seasons will bring so the game doesn't seam complete without it
Love FS fav tractor Case I h. FS 19 has caught up and is now for me better than fs17

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
Yep. I've put a fair amount of hours into 19 so far, but it seems more like I'm just piddling rather than really getting after it with not having seasons. It's almost like when seasons drops, then it'll be gametime. Ha.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
For PC at least, the lack of factory scripts is still annoying.
I was just getting into them on FS17 before 19 came out so I still go back and play with them sometimes.
In all though, 19 is better than 17 in most areas I think.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
I think the game becomes more enjoyable 1 year after release, when you add all the good mods toghether (like seasons, some cool maps, different scripts and equipment). After we get seasons and all the goodies from ModContest (for which I cant wait) the game should be more interesting to play.
Re: Is FS19 missing something?
Indeed, something is different what is pulling me back to older FS series:
1. Music was more into it, let's say more farming style. Now the music is too modern, does not make the right feeling anymore.
2. Graphics was more homey, not so realistic, but more different style i would like to see in farming game. FS15 had the same style
graphics. Lot of new games the graphics has gone too realistic and does not give the right feeling anymore.
3. Nice sounding tractors.
It was never the Seasons, did not use seasons much in FS17. Did not like it.
Here are the reasons what keep me in FS19:
1. Better looking and better choice of equipment.
2. Better gameplay and game features
3. Machinery handling is much better, machinery feels more heavy.
4. New interesting maps and mods coming all the time, after FS19 came out, people stopped adding new stuff to FS17.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
No, FS19 has everything FS17 had, plus several new features making it a more complete game than FS17 was. But as others are pointing out, you probably used mods in FS17 that aren't yet released for FS19, giving a less complete experience.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
I think I agree with what you say about the graphics being more homey on 17 and the engine sounds sounding better. Although I do like the sounds of all the John Deere is except for the 6M.IceUul wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 1:26 pm Indeed, something is different what is pulling me back to older FS series:

As detailed as FS 19 map sorry I just feel like you lose something, and Marwell Manor and Meadow Grove probably come the closest to 17 maps as anything in the game, which is probably why I'm drawn to these two maps.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
I too believe it is seasons, we need it back for the game to be great again. Currently I'm in between maps waiting on something from Redkeinstus, and I think a good map can make or break the game.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
It doesn't have to do with mods or seasons. I'm a visual guy, and I feel with as far as the graphics have come, we lost something. As someone mentioned above, 17 has a "home" feeling.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
In my view, there's something wrong with the feel of the game: The walking camera position is too low, the changing light levels at the ends of the day are too clunky, the physics makes the vehicles too bouncy, the in-cab sounds are too muted and the painted metal is far, far too glossy. The net result is it feels like playing with toy tractors.
We also miss seasons. Without seasons it is a tractor-driving game, not a farming game.

Re: Is FS19 missing something?
If I am not mistanken OxygenDavid tweaked the light system in the game. Thats also one of the reason Marwell and Oak maps look good. And its a step in a right dirrection. Vanilla light system is a bit ... hm .. too shiney and has to vibrant colors.
Re: Is FS19 missing something?
I don't find any features missing from the base game. The same kind of thing was said about FS17 vs 15 too (and to me FS15 is the weakest of the series). It's a nostalgia thing. Missing the maps, buildings, equipment, etc... from the old game.
I do miss the sounds of FS17 a little bit, but FS19 still gets some things right sound wise that FS17 didn't so I think a combination of both would be perfect. Again, there were people that said FS15's sounds were better than FS17's. The lighting is also better in a lot of ways but not as good in a few ways. I think we've reached the point visually where the vehicles and equipment are almost photo-realistic down to the last bolt but the environment is very much behind so it's kind of off-putting.
But yeah, it's missing seasons but that was a mod so I don't really count that.

FS22 is the best one yet. Fight me!
