Farming Simulator 15 Review I GoodGameHR

We have to admit, although few years ago we were quite skeptical, and we thought that was a farming simulation intended for a limited circle of people, to encourage positive sales results of previous iteration, we decided to give a chance to the new sequel. Farming Simulator 15 for PC and Mac is not counting mobile and handheld titles, the fifth installment of the series started in 2007. Giant Simulator from year to year is hard at work on new extensions, improving engine and brings some improvements. The game can be purchased in retail and digital edition at a price of 29.99 euros. For the purposes of this review we played version on the disk, but whoever it was, both versions are identical. Unlike some publishers, Giants Software does not have the habit of sharing ingame item and similar miracles, but all customers receive the same things, and new content coming later.

Compared to other new titles, Farming Simulator 15 weighs only 3 GB's, and after installation it is recommended to download the patch from 335 MB's. With the manual, with a game gets a double-sided poster. After a quick installation, players can immediately begin your homesteading career.
The main game available offers two large folders - (Björnholma and Westbidge) and a large number of tractors and other agricultural machinery. As we reported earlier, maps are inspired by real locations ie. The Nordic and the American landscape and with the day-night include changing weather conditions. Players have several levels of difficulty (Easy, Normal and Hard). Differences between weight reflected in the initial capital, the size of the loan, the size of the warehouse and the price of goods. Easy course is the ideal weight for beginners who would like to safely enjoy playing, Normal is the recommended weight, and Hard is designed for veterans of the series who want a challenge.

When I grow up I will be a farmer!

On the lighter weights faster players can make money, and the biggest challenge is all the time present. You must be wondering what it can do in such a simulation? On a huge map of the players have their farm. In addition to driving a tractor, that same farm must be maintained. Given the large number of machines and other agricultural equipment, each playing a different path can earn serious money. Farming Simulator 15 includes over 100 vehicles and other agricultural supplements, over 40 licensed brands (New Holland, Case IH, Deutz-Fahr, Lamborghini, John Deere, Horsch, Kuhn, etc.). Although the average reader of these names mean absolutely nothing, many farmers will be glad when they see their favorite brand in the virtual world. Given that this is a simulation, the vehicle will consume fuel. However, there is no reason to worry, gas stations are placed at strategic locations. Of all the vehicles and machines play contains even a truck and a car. We believe given the opportunity to choose how everyone will find a favorite vehicle / machine in which to spend hours in the work and the optional research folders.
With the independent performance of agricultural work (plowing, sowing, baling etc.). It is possible to hire workers who will serve as a memory aid. Of course, what this farm without animals, with sheep and chickens, players can get the cows. Each animal is an additional cost, it is necessary to take care of her, and the profit makers is not negligible. For example, if a player has more sheep on the farm, as they satisfied it will produce more wool. Chickens will give more eggs if they are happier, and cows will make more liters of milk. All the money earned will contribute to the possibilities of purchasing new equipment, better equipment, and expand jobs on the farm. The good are sold at the market where true law of supply and demand. The amount of earnings depends on the player's skill, effort and skills. Poor farmers will only accumulate debts, yields them will fail, and the farm will regress, while those more skilled players to become successful businessmen, and the farm will be successful even by EU standards. Additionally, players have to keep track of the weather forecast, namely, miscalculation could unišitit all the effort. With sunny days, the game alternating rainy days and storms.
For those who would like to be a virtual farmers, and lack of time, it is good that the time in the game can be adjusted according to the desires, or it can accelerate up to 120 times, and it is also possible to choose the intensity of additional missions that are used for making money on the side. The missions are limited in time (10 minutes), and make small profits and bonuses in the case of fast job. In case of abandonment or withdrawal, it is commendable that there is no penalty. Players have at their disposal the following tasks: cutting grass, small cargo transportation and delivery of grain lying greatest opportunity for additional earnings. Among other things the option worth mentioning is the possibility to show or shutdown folder and speed of growth of agricultural crops (wheat, sugar beet, potatoes).

Players have at their disposal a large number of vehicles and other machinery

It is praiseworthy that the developers worked hard and with a keyboard can play through the joypad and steering wheel. Every action in the game can be modified, and unlike some other more serious simulator where controls need to memorize or write down on a sheet of paper, in Farming Simulator each command is displayed on the screen. Interface is quite simply designed, user friendly and it really is impossible to execute in the game. With control, basic information is displayed during gameplay (mini map, hours and hours, financial condition and vehicle information). Everything is accessible, easily explained, and the gameplay is made ​​easier by the fact that players can at any moment any handheld device that contains key information. Purchase of new vehicles, machinery and other equipment is done via a simple menu where all the categories highlighted and sorted. It is especially commendable that the tutorial is adapted for beginners - it contains all the key information that will help players to master the basics of the game. If something else unintelligible, via telephone booths players can obtain further advice.
Veterans Farming Simulator series probably wonder what news in this sequel, and whether it's worth buying the game though can still enjoy the previous iterations. Farming Simulator 15 is definitely a title worth buying. News has - for example, with improved graphics, the game contains a number of small elements that improve general impression and influence the gameplay. For example, tractors vilifying or tires and vehicles zu subject to dust, artificial intelligence has been improved, fields and meadows look better in comparison with its predecessor, and the first time the game features forestry - chainsaw can chop wood and the same harvested / cut down trees to take sawmill. Compared to the previous game, a physical model is a bit poboljšaniji and engine is excellent optimized. Farming Simulator 15 does not require the angry chicken, computers middle class a few years old and more modern laptops without problems will trigger the game.
Although each new installment brings a certain level of freshness, it seems that Farming Simulator series progresses snail's pace. In fact, many things are not at a high level. For example, although a physical model is more advanced, though not perfect, driving and driving a tractor at times acts absolutely unrealistic, and physics destroyed wood in the final hand čudnovata- need to get used to set the wood in the trailer. Nevertheless, after a couple of trial and error, you will quickly learn the correct way of loading branch. Longer playing, bothered us is the inability of damaged vehicles - a game that the name contains the word simulator should in our opinion, better pay attention to such details. When driving a nice tractors most disappointed us lack the radio in the cab. The sound of the engine rather quickly bored with the sound of the radio stations, the time spent in work faster to us over. The quality of the texture varies from good to really catastrophic (eg grass is not exactly something beautiful, but because animals look realistic). The main game contains only two folders, but fortunately thanks to mods this problem to correct. Maps are great, at times it would seem and excessive, and are not filled with additional content. During longer playing, we must recognize in case you are not a die-hard fan of agricultural work, it is possible that you will begin to haunt.

Forestry is an important element that enhances gameplay

We believe that most of you readers asks what are the main reasons for the good sales of this series?
