      They sort of did the same thing with FS22. It really seems like a re-skin with some little useless things like tornados. I promised I wouldn't buy another FS game after 22 amd I think I'm gonna stuck with 22. After having the last few versions of Fs that was offered for consoles and knowing that they offer little to nothing except a bas game for $70 then want to micro transaction the hell out of everyone for stuff that should have already been in the game. I dont see FS25 worth the hundreds of dollars for a tornado. No real mud or physics just making dirt act sort of like snow?

    Machinery depth, and lack of pervious dlc being available I.e, precision farming was extremely dissapointing I think this game will eventually Surpass 22 as mods/dlc come out, This game has always been defined and brought to life by a great Modding community. All that time they spent on Tornadoes could have been spent elsewhere.

    My main complaint is how disappointing the Japanese map is. And yes they claim it's supposed to be a generic East Asia town. But is someone who is intimately familiar with East Asian cultures in Japan specifically I can tell you the map is full of Japanese culture. There is Japanese logos on your starting equipment. And you won't find any other East Asian country references. Getting to my problem with it is the low attention to detail on that specific map. For instance you won't see mini-trucks driving around which is something normal to see in not only Japan but other East Asian countrysides. You will find one parked on the map so the asset is there they just didn't make it one of the cars driving around. And that's the other thing you mostly see Western cars driving around. And they didn't add any Japanese style right side steering wheels. Also I want more Japanese style structures available. I'd also like to see some more Japanese brands like Kubota and yanmar, but I understand if there are licensing issues as far as that is concerned. Another thing which would have been nice is Japanese or at least East Asian writing on the billboards alongside the English text to make it feel more authentic. It's jarring to go into town and see a billboard that looks like it belongs in America. Hutan pantai map was my whole reason for returning to farming simulator because it and the rice farming were the big thing they advertised in this iteration of the franchise. And it feels like their main selling point for 25 did not get much effort put into it. I am hoping that modders can come in and make mods that at least make it feel more like a proper East Asian country. And not just a western map with smatterings of Japanese culture. Speaking of while writing this I also remembered another problem I have. The NPCs are the same no matter what map you choose.
    This just makes me wish once again that farming simulator had a proper competitor to inspire them to put more effort into these games. This is not enough for me to justify that $50 price tag. Maybe in the future it will become worth the $50 price tag but not right now. I'd rather just go play fs22 again.

    9:43 sheez, I didn’t even think about that, I was getting frustrated that my vehicles couldn’t go to their set speed, I thought it was that “new physics” they’ve been touting and the resistance being a little broken.
    I think the base problem is the game engine, it’s kind of like guys that soup up a 1985 Honda trying to compete with a 2025 Ferrari, sure you can get the horsepower and tweak the other parts, but the whole platform is old, slow, and overtaxed and just needs to go away in favor of much better options that have come out in the past 15 years. I think they had to do gimmicks like hail and tornadoes because they can’t get anything else out of the giants engine.

    I don’t get why they haven’t added snow runner type terrain deformation. They could do so much for this game… deformation, larger amount of tractors, better suspension in the tractors instead of them being stiffer than a race car, building potentially?, bigger maps, ai farmers on their own fields, different animals, having to work on your tractors sometimes, I could keep going on and on. But Farming Sin has became the same as cod. They do a fast release, only giving them time to do the bare minimum… it’s so disappointing. I’d rather they STOP releasing every odd year and actually take time to make the greatest farming game ever made😔

And they should leave us an option to remove that anoying grandpa ... And other stupidity , when you start farm manager mod, you start without starting farm, but, if you place farmohouse on some location of your choice you will still start your game from the base game farmhouse , and gues what, you can't sell it! Next stupidity... ble storage shed , some genius put triger in triger , so when you take out bales from storage, as soon as you touch them , the triger for accepting bales in storage will take those bales back in storage, and they say , park a tractor in triger so the bales will spawn outside the triger :D And about the number of tractors and choice of tractors... crap

    Yea she’s pretty glitchy. I’m on XBOX also and have done 17 hours on Riverbend. It’s crashed on me 6 or 7 times over all. I do like the AI workers but I would like a basic worker like in the previous games. The Oxbo pea harvester has a really low unloading belt and makes it a pain the arse. I think overall it is an improvement on 22 BUT, they have a lot of bugs to iron out. Also the contracts say a field needs harvesting which has been harvested. If you accept the contract the field jumps back to being ready for harvest then you can cancel the contract buy the field and harvest it!

    I got this game cause my brother plays it. I did not know what to expect coming into it. I got it for the PS5 and for being a 60$ game, after playing through and stumbling through it for about 3 hours. I like it, its got potential and charm. What did come across as odd is there is no wind and it feels a bit stiff? (I walked through that clothes line and laughed that it was just a set piece you can phase through). The Moon jumping is funny.
    Love the look overall and the town simulation. I wish that the people around would be interactive with you in a way where they drive by and visit you for offerings, help or something to give you that sense of community, Or I am just shopping at a menu too much? ha
    Anyways, its a great first impression, but I have no idea what FS22 gave and whats missing here in FS25. You have good insight here and I hope they update a good bit. Excited to see what gets added. I did get hit with that menu glitch where I also was stuck on traffic! I had to exit the menu and open it again. No crashes so far.

    I think you need to lower some of your graphics settings. Not sure what you can do on a console - I'm on PC. Game is a little buggy, I'm not crazy about the U.I. and money seems tighter - everything is more expensive but crop values don't seem to be improved at all... I'm having a lot of fun with it but I'd have liked to see a lot more attention paid to actual farming details like how most of the animals function instead of so much time spent on better graphics. It is beautiful though.

Pretty much everything you brought up I had similar gripes about wishing they could be better, but haven't really gotten too bent out of shape about it bc I know the mods will make it an even better game down the line.
    Also I agree that it feels like the developers gave us "just enough" in the base game, but I can see someone who has played the past titles would be extremely disappointed with what was given, especially when charging full price.

    So something I’ve just come to a conclusion of is that this game is made in a different country of course. So my thought process is that when it comes to the American side of farming simulator it’s kind of a toss up. Like for us console players I’ll never see us getting branded trucks in game or anything really and truly American. The game is made to mainly focus on the German side of farming honestly. It’s not American focused how we would want it to be. But the whole franchise just needs a rehaul just in general. From the physics down to the small minute details.

The game is....ok....i think. Playing on PC is a bit weird, they increased graphics quality by maybe 15% but the hardware requirements increased by nearly 40% for getting that so i am not sure if that is the deal players waited for. They changed a lot in the comfort area, apart from the really weird menu location for selling items everything seems overall pretty comfortable and reachable.

    Oh wow....
    @Johnboy.... HONEST...
    Your brief mention of AI "starting in the middle of the field sometimes" is because you do not _know_ that you can tell the AI how you want the AI to work. When it comes to fieldwork such as plowing and similar things, the default behaviour of the AI is to start doing the up/downs before doing the headlands while when using a combine it is the opposite.
    That said, you can change this AI behaviour if you want.
    Also, you never mentioned the built in GPS functionality if you want to do things yourself. And you have been playing this for a week and did not figure these things out? Seriously?

      Oh believe me I know how to use the new feature that not what I was talking about. Half way through processes like seeding or planting and they run out. After you refill them they don’t know where they left off or what has been done sometimes and will go back over the field that was done. GPS works it’s not the best for every field but that’s fine. Workers are better and yes something are a learning curve. I think some ai workers need a little tweak that’s all.

    Everytime I place a shed or animal barn it sinks in the field. Any suggestions on how to level before. I have tried the landscaping tool

      There is no great way. Try to get the cost on the screen as could to the normal price. Save before placing. Play with the tool (Plants can cover up stuff). I’m horrible with the tool I make mountains for flat land.

    I don't know why I'm just seeing this but about time. Honestly I've been kicking myself for the past couple years since fs-22 came out because it's been on game pass the whole time. I didn't have to buy it, since I pay for game pass anyways to play other games online. I'm kind of waiting for the same thing to happen with fs-25. I'll give it a try if it's ever on game pass but I don't think I'm going to buy this one.

    What I don’t like is that they got a lot of the modern like brand new equipment that I think is personally really ugly and this started in 22 but I think the mods are really gonna help that issue but I agree with this video even tho I can’t play fs25 yet because I only have a Xbox one

      Take your time upgrading. Fs 25 needs some work but If your staying Xbox get a series x not s. A lot of developers have problems with the s

      @Eli_Toney if you want them to run the best its pc honestly. But if you’re staying with Xbox it’s series x and ps5 pro for Sony. Consoles are mostly the same.

    It's even more a PC game than 22 was. Building on PS5 is just horrible. Can't even get a refund.

    You missed the compass direction is upside down. When you're moving north it says 180 degrees.
