(PC) Erm... What is Wrong With Farming Simulator 25 Gameplay Review (First Look)

[@elfs31]

Not even a minute into a video and you told the whole truth that community is afraid of admiting, even they know it's true..

[@VidBlinkz]

Not enough competition is the main problem for the FS series. With a competitive game, they would need to make more improvements.

[@SimUKReviews]

100%

[@markprice26]

Finally, an honest review from someone that isn't on Giants payroll! Thank you for sharing what us players are experiencing. Its a shocking release

[@SimUKReviews]

I appreciate that!

[@Elatenl]

Great video. The stutters aren't related to your graphics settings, they are most likely shader compilation stutters, because Giants refuses to implement shader compilation during loading of the game or in the main menu. So when you first load up a map it will stutter like crazy because it is building up the shader cache while playing the game instead of during loading of the map. Giants is a terrible developer and barely improves their games. The UI alone in farm sim has always been terrible. The modhub doesn't even have "sort by" options.

[@SimUKReviews]

I think you're spot on there.

[@MrAstronus]

Well, why doesn't shutter the game than on my lapotop? It's ridiculous how he complains shuttering with graphics setting in Ultra, and then try to reduce the resolution.... Honestly, that made me laugh hard. Another example of: The problem sits in front of the keyboard....

[@kowboykel665]

I chose to avoid buying it this time around, I'm not disappointed in my decision

[@SimUKReviews]

Very wise.

[@mertletheturtle8283]

[@paulharsh78]

One of the only honest reviews for this game. Amazing what a trip to drive some tractors will do. All the big farm sim creators don’t have the slightest critical critique?

There is much more I need to look at of course, but I think honest critique is purposefully undervalued these days.

[@Matt_9301]

One of the best videos I've seen, giving an honest and comprehensive review of the driving and physics elements to the game. Only thing that was missing from your review was the force feedback for the wheel (unless I missed it, or doesnt exist!?) This is a really important element to me!

[@SimUKReviews]

Thanks! I'll Take a look at that, my wheel wasn't fully installed so I couldn't test that properly tbh.

[@M3C63RS4]

I have Fanatec CSL DD which was immediatelly recognized but sadly no FFB👎. Giants are firmly stuck in the past, expect force feedback in 20-25 years

[@Matt_9301]

@M3C63RS4 in FS22 I found setting my wheel up outside the game and in the settings (Thrustmaster Control Panel) helped fine tune it but only for the centering and weight of the wheel. There's absolutely zero input for physics - bumps in the road and rocks. A lot of Giants fan boys claim that tractors hydraulic steering wouldn't be affected the same as other vehicles but with the new ground deformation, Giants claim that your driving physics are affected when in the deformation. So I would expect if you get stuck in a rut, your wheel would reflect that, along with movement on uneven terrain so it would simulate movement in a x tonne machine. But its like driving on a perfect surface no matter what!

[@M3C63RS4]

@@Matt_9301 yeah, I can set up centering strength and weight of the wheel through FanaLab software, but it doesn't give any meaningful FFB because the game is not outputing anything. Those fanboys that claim tractors have hydraulic steering and therefore no FFB is true to life are a bunch of clueless morons. FFB is not only about the steering wheel itself, it should also convey suspension movements, wheelspin, etc. Also, FS22 didn't sim to provide any physics derived data for road impact, road vibration, road rumble for motion rigs or bass shakers (it could work wonders in place of missing FFB). There was some localized feedback, but it felt baked-in and pretty horrible so I turned it off. We'll see if anything has changed once SimHub offers support for FS25, I hope it has improved, even if ever so slightly

[@SimUKReviews]

Hi @Matt_9301 Seems these chaps have already beat me to it, but I set FFB to 100% in game .... Never felt a thing. Sorry mate, it looks like no FFB worthy of note.

[@packman4664]

Thank you, welcome.

[@Darth0308]

It depends. Not everyone is taking Giants side. Some people just don't have the same issues with the game as others. Streamers font have issues, mine stuttered for less than a minute the first start up and it's been fine since. If I had to wait 20 minutes on shaders I'd be upset but I don't, so I've been pleased with my experience with the game since launch and I couldn't tell you one thing about Giants other than they make this game.

I don't mean to be pessimistic, but it just does not look that much better for 3 years of development. I really hope I'm wrong, but I'll hold off a bit before buying this one.

Yep, pretty much. All the hard work they improved the following : General tech upgrade with improved graphics and physics, distance fog, enhanced shadows, dynamic weather effects, ground deformation. Except the Graphics look the same, the physics are a joke, Shadows cause the glitching (and black and white strobing for some), Hail looks stupid (and still no weather effects on windows). So well worth the money.

[@ianmalcolm7782]

As always you can rely on SimUK's unrelenting honesty and ability to call a spade a spade when a developer drops the ball or kicks a goal. GIANTS have put the lipstick on the pig here, and im quite underwhelmed with what they have baked. The performance, bugs, removal of key UI QOL features and lazy modelling is here for all to see, and day 1 DLC is a disgrace! Did you notice your shiny new Challenger has wide load lights on the back which cant and dont fold out...but light up? Brilliant job GIANTS. Again we will have to wait for modders to turn this into a semblance of a simulation game.

[@SimUKReviews]

Thank you bro.

[@HendrikD67]

Ah yes, hail stones in August. Also: they had raindrops on the windows, it was removed because of console performance issues. You now, if they had made this game PC only, 96% of the issues would not exist.

[@MrAdrianSW]

And they want $50 for the base game. I mean, if it was more polished and added a lot more content.... But it feels more like a Patch than a new game... much like Train Sim (oh man, did I just go there?). Theres so much more they could do with the game. But yes, the modding community is what makes this game worth getting..... (when it goes on sale!) The pedestrians though, never liked that. If they dont 'do' anything, just save the Overhead and dont put em in. Id be fine if they had a "Scatter" animation like GTA, so they are there, but you cant actually 'hit' them because they dodge you.

[@SimUKReviews]

Well precisely. You make a good argument.

[@LoneWolf731000]

I think Giants makes an ok game in a way but you can't compare Giants with our modding community but I can agree that much that if we only had Giants making this game, not many would be buying or playing it as much as now, at least I would'nt, which means that the Modding community is the reason why this game is so popular and it would skyrocket even more if Giants would implement more of the mod communitys work or even better if they worked more together with or let the modders be a bigger part of the game. Otherwise in the whole Giants and the modding community are competitors, Giants sales a game and the modding community makes content that they also should get much more cred and payed for. A huge Thanks to all content creators out there! Keep up the good valuable quality work!👍

Why such a low end CPU? The 4070ti is actually a decent GPU to be paired with a pretty limiting CPU. I get now wanting to spend the money on a 14900ks or something, but you can find 7800x3d CPUs for cheap.

[@SimUKReviews]

Low end CPU? Intel® Core™ i5-13400F Desktop Processor 10 cores (6 P-cores + 4 E-cores) 20MB Cache, up to 4.6 GHz It was an upgrade for my i7 9900K & it is, giving about 30% more CPU headroom.

Mine had some rubber banding for the first few minutes until it was able to fill its cache. Then it smoothed out no problems after that. My biggest complaint is the lackluster equipment. Wish we had more base game variety, it's basically the same 4 or 5 tractors re-skinned 20 times with minor tweaks. And no old equipment, your right when u say moders make the game

[@SimUKReviews]

I really wanted to see some old equipment.

[@Revy501]

I think it is a reskin because of a few things like with the Cotton harvest contract you still can't off load all the cotton so you can't get the rewards like in Fs22. You need a mod to do it like in FS22. Yes, there are new tractors but all the old ones are a copy and paste from Fs22. I thought all the equipment would be 2024 models and not just from FS22 or Fs??

[@akashkshirsagar3479]

[@rickicresswell7233]

I agree with a lot of the things you've said here, I'm almost 10 hours in and am still trying to get settings right and work around things like the pressure cleaner not working for me for some reason and the flickering which may drive me insane soon. I wasn't going to buy a pre order but with over 11k hours in fs22 I figured I get my moneys worth from the games. I think you were a little unfair on some things though, you might be able to take off in top gear with nothing behind you but good luck plowing in top or pulling a full trailer up a hill, the way that Challenger pulled with the seeder on behind was a bit sus though lol. You don't very often get stones flicking up under the guards in a tractor except if the tyres are muddy and stick when you first come out on a road, they don't have a tight tread like a car so they don't pick them up in the grooves and flick them the same way. The brakes coming on automatically when you roll back could be for keyboard users who don't technically have a brake button although as you say a handbrake option would fix that. Either way it's nice to see someone call it how it is instead of drooling over something that needs a lot more work before it was released.

Loved FS22, really had my hopes up for 25. I can see they've upgraded alot. But over on PS5 i'm really strugling with some of the visual bugs. I also think they haven't really play tested it on controllers. Examples: plowed parts of the field for instance don't show as such making you think you have to do a go around cause you missed a spot. This happens quite alot and i've gotten used to it abit. A 'game breaking'bug for me was when the snow wouldn't dissapear no matter what i did.. this one was actually very annoying and made me restart the game. Controller wise i mean the power washer for instance.. having to press O to activate the jet whilst having to aim is just straight up stupid. PS: the vehicle repair shop not being shown on the map is a really dumb example aswell..

[@hickninshaw]

I agree with him 100%. They do a horrible job of making this game. They do the bare minimum work to turn out an arcade experience that has no realism options that aren't added by the unpaid mod community and they want full AAA game price for it and the overpriced expansions. That's the most frustrating part of it as well. They have the cheat code to know what to add to their game, based on the mods that are downloaded the most. And they do rip off some of the mods and they do a horrible job of that as well. Could just give the mod creator a royalty and buy the code from them to add to the game. But they just bastardize it instead. This game has been in production for over a decade, yet in the last decade, almost nothing about the game has changed. Graphics have gotten better, ok, still out of date a launch, ground deformation is a joke and not at all done in a realistic manner. Plow furls should have been in the game years ago. But you shouldn't be able to drive at road speed across them without wrecking your back, kidneys and teeth and leaving the tractor a broken pile in the field. You can't drive road speed across a corn field against the rows. But in this game it as smooth as a road. They ask for way to much money for what they offer. The mod community is who makes this game worth buying. Base game, 3 or 4/10. After the mod community does what they do, it's a 7 or 8/10. But that is all unpaid, in their spare time, mod community. The mod community can make a good farming simulator out of this pile of dog crap. Giants never spends the time or the effort to make it a good game. Just spends the time to lay the groundwork for everyone else to make a good game. I still bought it at release because it was cheaper and i'm sure it is going to be full AAA price for well over a year, just like 22 was. But i'm probably still going to play FS19, the last one i bought, until the mod community finishes making the mods that make the game good. And maps, they ripped off the EU map from a previous game, the American map is a travesty, horrible map, nothing like America at all, an absolute pain to get around, the whole map feels and looks like a run down, abandoned town with zombies walking around aimlessly. I haven't tried the Asian map, but i'm sure that is done poorly as well. And they are way, way, to small. I'm waiting for 4x and 16x maps to come out. This 2 KM X 2 KM needs to die. That was a limitation of older hardware that we have moved past on even the console side.

[@SimUKReviews]

Excellent points. The Asian map is full of English cafes & shops etc....Barely anything authentic to the area it is meant to be.

[@garylasereyes2829]

I'll have to disagree with ya on the trailer should jerk around the tractor when hitting bumps. I've never felt that much jerking around pulling trailers. Yes it's connected but they're on swiveling connections to avoid that making them independent from one another. I do agree with everything else, seems underwhelming so far for sure.

[@BurningLynx]

i feel like the word "sim" and "simulator" are thrown around now a days, without any of the ideation of what that even is supposed to entail anymore. its not a sim its a farming adventure, its more akin to stardew valley without the relationships, 100s of times the budget and half the features. Dont come in saying "thats not fair its 3d and so much more complicated". no it isn't nearly that complicated because the framework for farming sim has been out there for ages now, its like Sim UK said its just a prettier version of 2019 with mods. stop defending these publishers pushing 60 65 70 pound/dollar shovelware towards you stop buying the game hoping it will be better eventually. get them to fix it first before buying, buy things on sale, or better yet just wait.

[@C20F]

@@droptopeclipse Yeah... Thats what I'm saying, both 19 and 22 ran significantly worse.

[@EXGAMINGANDFARMING]

It’s a real fun and good game but they are still working on the game to fix the graphics and more

[@elvisbest3213]

My game did the same thing glitching when i first start and i hate i cannot change the graphics the way i want .This one is worst than 22

[@3mate1]

But dude, didn't you see how much depression your tires make now??? LOL everyone made such a big deal out of that like it's a big deal.

[@SimUKReviews]

Mods in FS15 really were much better 😆

[@Zero4Infinitives]

Game is in an unfinished state in my opinion. It stutters, glitches, bugs with animations, bugs in the dynamic terrain, you name it. The worst release of an FS game so far. Also is it just me or it just doesn t feel like a decent jump after 3 years of development(the longest so far, ironically).

[@renebitorajac2094]

RTX 4070 ti and it runs like this?? How?

[@SimUKReviews]

First lot of stutters were I think caused by something running in the background. BUT having just tested again on the USA map, I again had some stutters at the start, they went away after a few minutes?

[@SimUKReviews]

Yeah seen the fix on this too, but not a great start for a big game.

[@anderspedersen6750]

Want to have some fun, observe the spinach harvester trying to turn on field 43 on the uhm unpronounceable name map

[@SimUKReviews]

I will try and test that .... :-)

[@anderspedersen6750]

@SimUKReviews it happened on more fields after that. I ended up having to run it manually while making the headland turns

[@SimUKReviews]

I didn't get a chance to test it yet....Are they doing Michael Jackson moonwalks through the crops by any chance?

[@anderspedersen6750]

@@SimUKReviews I guess seen from above, but it was more of jacknife , then part would touch the crop as soon as it moved, detect that, jackknife the other way. It took it about 10 minutes to do a 90 degree turn. I have not tried with a big tractor yet to see if they do the same, I suspect they will.

[@gameschanel5455]

I have been playing since release of fs15, every new verson for pc, and in my opinion they really made bigest progresion in fs17, got some really neat features, but lets be honest, in comparison in general with any game from that time, they were behind even then,e.g. Euro truck simulator 2, Train sim world, the Hunter call of the wild(have been playing and will play again all of them), and many more had more features, more details, even better graphics in my opinion, dont want to hate nobody, but Giants just fell in a hole that is deep and they cant get out of it now, these fetures in fs25, should have been there in fs19 at last, now we should have much beter graphics and details, im sorry for everybody but I would rather have few machines in game with much more in cab details, monitors and overall beter simulator, than this stupidnes like fog, fog has been in games wayyyy before, i know for shure in 2017, even before, so basicly nothing special, waiting for Christmas sales and as usual on moders to fix this poor copy and paste of fs with even less machines then ever, for me this should have been like upgrade for fs22 with those features, sorry for bad English, really happy somebody is not brainwashed and said what had to be said, it is bad for 3 years of "development", lots of respect from Croatia

Tractors can drive away in highest gear its not unreal at all. But i agree giants make shit games.

[@SimUKReviews]

Really?????? Up a hill with 5 tonnes on the back?????

[@antisocialant4813]

@@SimUKReviews well a tractors engine is all about torque its what makes them great at pulling stuff and even the top gear on a tractor is very short (shorter than first gear in any car) and because of that its not a problem. As for pulling stuff its not like you have to be able to lift 5 ton to pull it and the fact that strongman competitions include pulling a many ton truck or a small tug pulling a huge ship is great examples of that.

[@SierraCossie_2.0]

if they are going to steal mods why dont they steal all the good ones instead of 1 or 2 good ones? 😅

😆 yeah & then why do them all badly???

[@sidious2351]

Yet the mooders didn't build the sandbox and they should be grateful Giants lets them mod.

I think Giants should be greatful. Every improvement on this game comes from modding community.

[@Cornholio]

See but this is it,they give us just enough that people want to buy and they do. This time around the focus point is ground deformation, a feature that could and should've been in fs22 in the first place

[@SimUKReviews]

Fs17 even.

[@maxharrower2424]

Runs great on PS5 and XBox series X. 😎. The problem with PC is there is no standard spec and I’ve yet to find any pc game that runs well straight out of the box without any serious time spent tweaking settings. I used to play FS22 on a 2017 imac27 i5 at high settings with no stutter in either windows mode via bootcamp or natively in Mac OS but this version is a non starter on that machine. If I upgrade the Mac to a mini M4 pro I might give it a try.

[@86themadhatter27]

Doesn't it run at like 30fps on console?

[@chaingunner60]

I too am underwhelmed and will probably just leave it until the modders sort it out ☹

[@SimUKReviews]

Nothing really impressive to talk about certainly thus far.

unfortunately.. that's what happening since a few years ago when the (( simulation )) games start to be known.. most of the games it just a WORD..!! doesn't have any connection to the word at all.. especially mobile games.. IT'S MORE KIND OF MARKTING TECHNIQUE TO GET PLAYERS BUY THE GAME. 😔

[@jacksmith7726]

Sequels these days get excited about the idea of a game I like but better shiny and more features. But that's the thing buggy half finished at most, bad performance, good features removed and dubious ones added.

[@elainebenes1482]

This sadly is a pretty horrible cash grab. Last good version that improved something was FS 19 imo. I will keep buying the (same) game though as I want the development to continue. Indeed this installment has been further consolified and thus graphics are hardly any better than 22. Console is holding Farm Sim back. I hope that entitled community is happy atleast. This should have been nothing more then an addon for 22 if that even. I want to see npc's farming on the map, building interiors and more npc's in general like on the ferry. What a missed opportunity. Also I want animal cleanup back like we had in 19. Why are tree leaves still hitting me in the cab? It's absurd. This is not good Giants.

[@leifeline]

Haha wtf set up your hardware sir! No stuttering at all here.

[@C20F]

Here's the thing, sometimes it does that, sometimes it doesn't, I have 4 copies and only half does that, weird thing is, they are all on the same patch.

[@Darth0308]

I have the same issue and I'm running a Nasa computer. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it don't. I cut traffic off once and it worked. Reloaded a game later that had traffic and no stuttering what's so ever. Loaded up again later that day and had stuttering along with black screen flashes. I'm sure it will only take an update or two. Everyone has different setups so of course there's gonna be some issues. People act like we havnt been getting time pressure release launches for 3 years straight with games needing patches out the gate but people have a right to complain about it. You not having the issue doesn't mean it's someone's else's hardware issue. That's just shallow thinking.
