Farming Simulator 25 Review - The Final Verdict

[@azzab7648]

Step 1: Build your farm Step 2: Bury granddad in a mountain of debt and play FS22

[@PatrickRechsteiner]

GIANTS added nonsense shitty tornadoes, but no shotguns to get rid of granddad.

[@clover831]

"A.I. problems with workers not finishing jobs". That is not a glitch. -Paid workers not finishing jobs.. Now that is realistic! A true simulation!😆

[@GamingTechMachines]

Is that console edition?

[@David-Kynaston]

Shit working conditions and abusive employers typically the reason.

[@NeonKnight777]

My biggest problem with all of these games and this one especially is the driving. The equipment doesn't feel heavy at all, everything accelerate way too quickly, wheels turn unreasonably fast. Driving in the game is so unrealistic and not pleasant at all.

[@burnsyd17]

I feel like whoever wrote this script has never played this game, let alone researched it's history of prior versions. Playing Farm Sim has nothing to do with the "characters" like grandpa, they're just artificial tutorial fluff completely ignored by anyone playing more than an hour. The mobile/switch releases have zero relation to the PC/console releases. As for who was playing while recording the video for this review, just wow, should have at least spent maybe an hour getting the hang of how to actually drive vehicles in the game. Also completely ignored the biggest game changer feature over previous FS22, the integrated steering assist.

[@Zero4Infinitives]

Yet they did say correctly what they did, the game is in a really bad shape from a technical point. I have bought all FS titles but FS25 is the only one I ever regretted buying and refunded it. I had crashes, bugs, glitches, you name it. I will probabil buy the Premium version a year from now when the game will be fixed and it's potential reached.

[@LordNormand]

​@Zero4Infinitives I agree on the bugs. It's like they took 23 and added a bunch of crashes. Lol. Even the radio station has the same songs. Wonder if the staff is the same or a bunch of unqualified dummies.

[@skydriver5709]

The gameplay we endured watching this video 100% matched the script. Dude pulls his trailer up to offload his harvester, but instead of driving all the way to the harvester like a normal person, he parks 100 feet away, gets in the harvester and destroys 100ft of crop driving it to the trailer. "Hello, I can't even back a trailer without jackknifing it into my rear wheelwell... here's my review". He seems like the kind of person who stands directly in front of a TV with a remote, flipping channels, then sits down after he finds something to watch.

[@burnsyd17]

@@LordNormand 23 is mobile only, TOTALLY different games.

[@LordNormand]

@burnsyd17 exactly. They release one on even years and the other on odd years. They messed up 22 for console because the mobile took to long but console is back to odd years again.

[@MacGruber-21]

Were you drunk when filming this?

[@ChilleKip]

6:21 What the heck are you doing 😂 Either a terrible driver or massively hammered

[@M3C63RS4]

🤣

[@skydriver5709]

Considering before this he pulled a trailer up to offload a harvester, but parked 100 feet away, then drove the harvester forward destroying 100ft of crops to offload the cereal. This is why IQ matters.

[@mac1bc]

Agreed. Very disappointing

[@kevinbisneau3704]

Those skills backing up a trailer

You can tell what creators live in the south😂

[@lordcancer5475]

I was literally gonna rewind the video and count how many times he runs into things.

[@GamingTechMachines]

I'm running the PC version on a MSI Claw A1M. Graphic Setting: Ultra High 150hz 4k resolution. Graphics are remarkable. Alot has changed. Tractor sounds, terrain and weather have got alot better. GPS works well along with AI so no more wonky furrows. You can even push the pressure washer around :)

[@5hrimp_Nachos]

The pop in is awful. The graphics haven’t improved since the last game. Locked at 30 fps on console. It’s just not a very good game. No real reason to play if you already own FS22. 5/10

[@robertbrunello]

Facts

[@kristofferkling9567]

The pop in is real with this one and before a map is fully loaded it stutters a lot. But still, after it's loaded and you don't look too far ahead when driving due to pop in I'm enjoying my time so far

[@5hrimp_Nachos]

@ glad you are. I had to refund. I’ll come back when/if it gets optimized and they add something that sets it apart from the previous game.

[@skydriver5709]

@@5hrimp_Nachos It's a franchise they release a new title to about every 2 years. There's never anything really that significant that sets the next one apart from the previous one, especially when you consider what the modding community makes available. It's just a little step up in graphics, and they incorporate a couple popular community mods into their base game. Then you have to wait months for them to work out the bugs, optimize it, and get a fair selection of mods ported to the new version. Other than an updated game engine, there's really nothing new about the "next" game that modders couldn't do for free.

[@5hrimp_Nachos]

@ “there’s never anything that sets it apart” literally my point bubba 😂

[@AshenExiled]

Bro ain’t never backed a trailer in his life or a game 😂

[@christopherflux6254]

I wonder if there’s a DLC where you can buy farm land in the UK as a way of avoiding Inheritance Tax and then drive your tractor to London to protest against the Government.

[@LuciferMindset]

It's in the Jeremy Clarkson DLC coming in a few months. 😂

[@mickdeez]

who tf edited/filmed this video?

[@leitonfeliciano3208]

The fact that you are reviewing this game when you can’t even back up a trailer in it🤣🤣💀

[@nathanrorke2221]

Did they use AI to voice NPCs? There’s no way someone listened to that and was like yep that’s fine no need for another take

[@LordNormand]

Once again, you don't understand how the releases work. Platform is odd years, and the other versions are even years. They have messed up a bit on timing, but that's how they laid it out.

[@Chris_Sokol]

Tens of thousands of mods for FS22 (probably even more). Hardly any for FS25. I’ll be playing 22 for a long time to come.

[@bradweinstein7017]

I always give it at least 6 months to a year for the mods to catch up, they make the game

[@f44had]

Games like this feel like I'm wasting my life lol..

[@TimmyTheSnail]

Tbh I think the “voice acting” from the characters is AI voices

[@derekpeace7668]

I'd like a review from someone who takes Farming Simulator seriously so I can make an informed decision (he is running over stop signs without care, running into fences and machinery, etc). This guy obviously hasn't really played FS before as he would be able to back up a trailer if he had.

[@Tranqilla]

New IGN becoming already this channel , you didn't speak about seasons and how cool are them and the nice features they added.

[@EastyyBlogspot]

I really dig the game

[@YogBar]

The Broke the game since FS22

[@chriscross2762]

I been looking around I was playing last night trying to cut trees, the quality of the trees is really low, and I kept having problems with the chainsaw as well I think they need to update this game asap n get the bugs fixed ,my opinion if you’re selling a game for over 60 bucks wouldn’t you wanna make sure everything’s 100 % ?

[@LuciferMindset]

Nah. Giants just got a $120+ million dollar pay day in under a month. They're taking a few pages out of EA&Ubisoft playbook. Release a steaming hot mess and let the players complain and the modders fix it, profit. 😅

[@JW-wr4ep]

So...is it worth a play OR FS22?

[@LuciferMindset]

FS22. Wait til 2026 or 2027 to bother with FS25.

[@JW-wr4ep]

[@jeffsandefur6886]

It is a good game but it is broke thought Germans were known for their quality guess not

[@AntoineB48]

Thing is, they purposely half ass these games because they know modders are going to fix it and make the game even better and they don’t have to pay them

[@DrPlonk]

it's a swiss developer you dense mofo

[@WiseRabbit420]

Worst video ever!! Horrible editing and you could at least get someone that knows how to drive the equipment to show the game.

[@TheGarkk]

Ya wish they'd get that "day 1" update out to fix all the graphical issues...so annoying...and field 77 not working at all seems like

[@LuciferMindset]

AKA you wish they'd actually play tested and released a finished game instead of a buggy mess.

[@David-Kynaston]

It's a bit early for a final verdict.

[@3.6Roentgenn]

It also runs like trash on the steam deck. I know the deck isn’t very powerful, but farm sim 22 runs great on it. Thought about getting it on the PS5 instead, until I saw that it’s locked to 30 frames.

[@brennanIX]

Don't use TAA. Keep DLAA on. TAA looks about as good as DLAA, but has a way bigger performance impact. I have my fps capped to 90 in game, so my fps is always at 90, regardless of settings, but that 90 was drawing SIGNIFICANTLY higher wattage with TAA. Actually, going from DLSS quality to DLAA at 1.1 sharpness, I actually DECREASED my wattage draw by 4% at the same framerate by using DLAA. I tried FSR3 and XeSS, and they both were the exact same performance as DLSS quality on thier respective quality settings. TAA was TERRIBLE for performance, and DLAA was the best. Visually all were very similar, so best to just go with DLAA, as TAA/DLAA prob had the best quality overall, and DLAA had the best performance. At 4k max settings, DLAA, 90fps cap, and render distance doubled by editing the game config .xml, I was always under 500w total draw through my PSU. Usually between 390w-470w, which is pretty low since that my whole PC draw at the PSU, not just GPU/CPU draw. Not even drawing 50% of my max wattage. Now, even though the FPS stayed locked to the set 90. It didn't feel that good. I'd get a random stutters now and then and feel almost like it was about to crash. Controls and menu functions sometimes felt delayed and unresponsive, sometimes my screen would flick black, and objects/environmental textures would flicker all white. So, the game is actually pretty efficient when it comes to rendering performance and resource usage, it just feels shitty cause something is broken with it. Between that weirdness and the lack of equipment and mods in game, it really feels like an early beta test, not a full release. Especially when you compare to FS22 and the the staggering amount of more content/features/equipment/etc it offers over FS25. Really, FS25 kinda feels like an overhaul mod and map, and not quite a polished legit release from a large dev studio. I feel that it has more total POTENTIAL than FS22, but it'll be 2-3 years before we see any of that. At least a year until it even rivals FS22. Honestly people, consider these Farming sim games to launch as early access, even if it doesn't say so. The games never really feel "finished" until like a year after launch, and when they drop the full year one content bundle. When the complete year 1/expansion edition launches, that's the point I feel is the REAL launch. So, just stick wirh fs22 until the FS25 platinum edition or whatever launches, unless you're cool with being an early access tester.yesterday. the "new features" of fs25 are just base game integration of mods that you can already get in FS22. There's nothing 25 offers that 22 doesn't, but there is a lot 22 offers that 25 doesnt.

[@masterman3178]

They need to fix meadows being broken and animal health being stuck at 0%

You can tell a lot about a man by the way he drives with a trailer hooked up. 😂 Shoutout to my southern folks

They don't animate great. who are you kidding ? the Tactors seems STIFF and like a TOY. the Wheels don't feel connected to the ground and when you make a hard turn in the video it looked like it skipped the ground.

Graphics aside, theres nothing new that FS15 modded didnt have. and even the graphics are subpar compared to any other medium or higher budget games in 2024. the LOD distance is still pure garbage

Ever seen the prime tv show Clarksons farm. It’s funny. Can you do that in this game and be a really newbie to this and have fun trying. It looks so sim like real

If you're gonna review games maybe do it properly? Driving the tractors around like Colin McCra doesn't really show the game off as intended does it..

[@royjohnson225]

It peaked at 19

1:50 that tells me enough to know about this reviewer. Instead of driving the last few meters to get the tractor to the harvester, he switches and drives the harvester to the tractor, destroying crops on the way. lmfao

Better yet the harvester was only 47% full 🤣

The poor optimization issues made me ask for a refund today. Love FS22. Maybe they'll have fixed Fs25 it by next fall and it'll be worth the price then, because in it's current state it isn't.

[@UglyBunnyJase]

The small circle of draw distance is hella annoying. AI can’t weed. You can’t harvest root vegetables as a single player. Fuel hardly depletes at all, yet vehicles will require repair after a full day of work. Game has a LOT of problems but is still enjoyable overall. I agree; can’t really recommend in its current state.
