Don’t expect to upgrade your equipment for a good while when starting a career. If there is one thing you’ll learn from this game, tractors are really, really, really expensive. Right down to the grit and muck caked onto a tractor is methodically detailed. This is one thing about FS15 that is truly impressive. The attention to detail is really quite amazing. The catalog of farming tools and tractors is enough to make a good ol’ boy weep. Once you’ve overcome the learning curve, it’s time to upgrade your equipment. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so alone after playing through a tutorial. Earning money to upgrade equipment is essential, but when your employees are working at a slower pace to how you play the game, you may be waiting a long time for a steady stream of income. This tends to cause the economy of the game to be frustrating. They will work based on the in-game clock. If you decide to hire help, your employees will work at a much slower rate. By that logic, it will take you several days in-game time to accomplish a task that took an hour in real-time. While it will take me twenty minutes to plow a field, several hours will have passed in-game time. However, the way time mechanics work inside are a bit confusing. The amount of time it would actually take you to do a day’s worth of farming in real life is approximately how long it will take you to do the same daunting task in-game. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so alone after playing through a tutorial.Ī few hours into plowing a corn field, which will take you a good 20-minutes, my eyes began to glaze. At times, you might find yourself asking: “Where to begin?” or “ Where do I start?” These questions actually gave me a mini panic attack, thinking into the specifics and simulation factors of each given task. The tutorial will walk you through the basic functions of each tractor and its abilities, but after that, you are on your own. Learning which equipment to use can be a daunting task, again, particularly for those who are not familiar with any sort of agricultural equipment that is used on an almost daily basis.

Unless you already know how to plant, harvest, cultivate, and plow fields–you are in for a rough time. It’s the actual art of farming that will throw you for a loop. To be honest, the controls during gameplay are actually quite simple.
It’s not the game mechanics that will stump you. Even without the almost useless tutorial, it is impossible to figure out what you are doing. The brief, uninformative tutorial is only accessed by starting your career in Europe. If you are new to simulators, or this farming one in particular, then you probably shouldn’t even consider starting in America. (If that’s really a thing.) For this new installment, it being the fifth addition to the library, you can start your career in the good ol’ heartland U-S-A. In Europe, the Farming Simulator franchise has been a staple on the virtual agricultural fantasy. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good authentic simulator, but FS15 is too realistic for its own good.įor starters, it’s difficult to say that this game was really geared for the Americas (or North American market at that). However, once you really get into the core of the game, it becomes a drag. The attention to detail on the landscape, tractors, and farming equipment is sublime. Platform: PC, Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4Īt first glance, Farming Simulator 2015 is a beautiful game.
