FS25 Likes and Dislikes

[Ang1oSaxon]

After five hours playing it on my MacBook Pro, I have few negatives. It runs better than 22, with no stutters, and I'm loving all the new details. The magic circle is further diminished, and it all looks great.

I still need to get used to the new menus, but that will come with time. I haven't counted them, but it feels like there are fewer tractors. It could be the different way they're presented in the interface making it look that way, or the fact that there are only 2 Claas tractors, which were what I mostly used in 22. I look forward to getting more later!

Having spent a fair few more hours in Zielonka, I’m starting to get a bit over ground deformation. I’m farming on the softest, spongiest soil in the world here! I’m surprised I don’t leave deep footsteps when I’m walking through my yard!

I’m greatly looking forward to the return of Precision Farming, and will be on sharp lookout for a nice German map (Geiselsberg, MVP 19, and Irgendwo in Thüringen III have been my favourites so far), but this will do for now.

AirHead (LuftKopf), You don't seem to realise the Precision Farming DLC was a cooperative arrangement and not created by Giants alone, they (Giants) were funded by a whole host of European & British agricultural organisations and they (the organisations) probably hold the copyrights to that DLC, the agreement, I believe, was for a two-year deal which helped fund development within Giants.

The Precision Farming DLC was released towards the end of FS19 and covered the start of FS22, those two years have now expired, and I'm sceptical there will ever be another Precision Farming DLC, at least not like it once was, if at all.

There may be a PC-scripted version some modder might make, but I don't ever see a console version unless it can be worked out contractually. Or unless Giants modify their base game through updates to have those features baked into the game itself as a base game function, I think Giants will hold that back and 'make us all sweat and beg' for it, so they can use it to be the base game and a UPS (unique selling point/pitch) in the next release of possibly FS28.

I hate the game in its current state.

I recently got home from university for the holiday so have been playing on my laptop, (4060, i7, 16gb ram). It can run fs22 perfect at max settings, but struggles at low on 25.

The walking feels like I’m on ice.

The new menus remind me of a kids game and are overly complex. 22 did it well, and I currently see no reason to buy 25.

That’s my brutal and honest review.

Why can't you rotate the camera when placing/painting? All the trees make it hard to place some things accurately!

You can, its "C" and "V" on the keybord.
Cheers

Ich fand mich als Jugendliche nicht wirklich gut, ich dachte, mein Kopf wäre voller Luft. Aber der Name ist geblieben.

Sure, the Precision Farming project was started in 2020 with John Deere and EIT, with the University of Hohenheim, the University of Reading, and Grupo AN (and the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research from the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2021), and was a two year project. Is it finished? Will it be extended, and come to FS25? Who know? I hope it does though!

[eric21]

Yeah it's finished

Farmer Cop did a nice video abt the reason for not having PF in FS25. I first tried it with FS19 for farming it was fine but when you did animals I found it to be a pain in the proverbial so I removed it never did seasonal. On FS22 though I use/used it together with seasonal all the time and had fun using it.
With FS25 I do use seasonal but alas PF is no more. I hope Giants are able to get permission from the project organisations to implement it again but I am not holding my breath.

The game has issues for sure, some of them major, but most things you just listed are a YOU problem, not a game problem.

[Peter Griffin]

And I'm confused how they don't know what a plank or a cement brick is? Or a liter even

[Swardy215]

The new ground deformation or terrain makes no sense whatsoever. you can fill the motherbin to over 200ton put it in a plowed field and it will have shallower ruts than a pickup truck

We have to remember that not everyone has English as their first language, and that's fine. It's easily solved by looking something up though, rather than stubbornly complaining on a forum. He may be American; he mentioned earlier that he puts eggs on biscuits.

[FenlandFarmer]

i think they changed alot of the translation because overload ( which i always said was wrong ) is now dump and thats even more wrong !!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, take it easy ketchup beans on toast and salt flavored sausage, let’s not bring food into this haha

I would also like to point out the good ole U S of A does not require English to be your first language to live here. The US has no official language we’re still the melting pot of the world. Eat your heart out progressive Europe!

And thats why we love you!

Salt flavoured sausage though? Is that a thing you think we eat? This is like that time a girl from Texas flew out to see me and said that Americans all think we eat badgers in the UK. I think you may have been mislead.
