Farming Simulator 25 Now Available

[TheLostSwede]

"When we think of our farms, we think of lives well spent", a seasoned farmer tells viewers in the Launch Trailer of Farming Simulator 25. Now available on PC and consoles, publisher and developer GIANTS Software invites returning and aspiring virtual agriculturists to ignite their passion for the wholesome and rewarding life in the countryside.

"This Farm is Your Farm"
"For experienced farmers, the game marks the next step in playfully living their passion", says Christian Ammann, CEO of GIANTS Software. "For everyone else, it's a relaxing, immersive, and community-oriented opportunity to grow a new hobby, cultivate exciting knowledge, and ultimately harvest the rewarding feeling of freedom and accomplishment."




Easy First Steps on Fields
With more variety, opportunities, and challenges, Farming Simulator 25 allows players to experiment, learn and grow. Increased accessibility through improved user interfaces, information, and tutoring non-player characters make the family-friendly series even more welcoming for beginners. The new GPS-based steering assistant as well as reworked and improved AI-workers allow additional help and automation on busy fields.

Farming Means Business
Whether focusing on arable farming, animal husbandry, or forestry, the dream of farming can be achieved with a small farm and a few lovely farm shops to sell goods, or by growing it into an empire: With production chains, factories, construction projects, and even community monuments like temple grounds or a grain elevator museum, providing long-term goals and endless activities for the farmer's ambitions.

With three environments in North America, Europe, and East Asia, 25 field crops, plus many greenhouse crops and trees, and several types of animals, each farmer can choose their starting point - single-handedly or in co-op multiplayer. Machine enthusiasts enjoy over 400 authentic machines from over 150 top international brands like Case IH, CLAAS, Fendt, John Deere, Kubota, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, and Valtra. Other new features include ground deformation, weather events, and general improvements of graphics and physics.

Farming Simulator 25 is available now for PC, Mac, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Visit the official Farming Simulator website and the GIANTS Software press area for more information. The standard physical edition for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and the Collector's Edition for PC are also available. Check local retail stores for availability and pricing.

If it lags and stutter, just let it sit for 10 minutes or fly around the map for some minutes. It helps while the shader are compiling. Lowering the settings also helps......but it is only a stopgap solution until the shaders are compiled.

I never saw a shiny waste tank on a tractor. Any of those tank trailers I ever saw in my life looked like that. Also any of those tractors. Regardless if they are green, red or blue coloured ones.
Does the paint reflect? Dirt on the wheels?

This game has a problem with realism. Or with reflection. Or how to draw hair on an animal.

Also blue tractors pass my house quite frequently. none of those is shiny or reflective. I think most of the plastics and car paint is also not reflective.

Nothing beats "Simfarm".

I bought Farming Simulator twice in the past, and twice got a steaming pile of horseshit.
The game has a lot of potential, but the company realized they could get away with anything LONG time ago, because most of the people who buy the game are such fanboys it borders with being mentally insufficient or flat out retarded. I can't think of any other reason why crowds of brainless sheep shell out AAA-like money every three or so years (plus all the "expansions") for someting that hardly changes version to version, and something that's technically SO bad it feels like it felt through a time travel machine from 15 years ago.
It wasn't until the previous PC version when the graphics started to look at least somewhat mediocre to ok (for visual standards of 2010+), and stuff like draw distance and similar stuff was still completely ridiculous. The performance was also still pathetic judging by what I read and saw on Twitch, however.
And people still buy it no matter what. And people laugh at Bethesda fanboys. This is way above that

I am curious about this latest version, but I don't expect any miracles.

P.S. I wrote this before I even saw any screenshots or anything. I guess all my saltiness from my past experiences with the franchise poured out and Giants might have actually just released a gem of a farming game this time. lol.

I bought 25 but may return it, the characters are so 1999 looking.

I wouldn't mind that as long as they somehow finally managed to pull their heads out of their arses and do something about the game engine. That was basically my biggest complaint.

Farming Simulator 19 went free on Epic games ~1.5 years after release and Farming Simulator 22 followed ~2.5 years after release. I expect them to keep releasing a new FS game every every 2-3 years and leave the previous one free on Epic games so I'll just wait for that since FS19 and FS22 are enough for when I get the farming itch.

There we go.
I have already found several posts where people AGAIN complain about absolutely atrocious performance. Also the game running at 30 fps on the latest generation of consoles. LOL!
