I think sales on this version will be terrible and they might be forced to offer a sale. I would pick it up if they ran a 50% off sale but I doubt that will happen since the first game has never been on sale. I do like the first game though and have put in about 40 hours on it. At that price I'm going to pass since not much different. From the what I catch from the review there is almost no difference between the first game and this one.

Plus, to be frank, driving at 30 mph through town isn’t fun, it's a chore. The pay is fine, but disrupting farm activities by reallocating a vehicle and diverting your attention elsewhere can throw off your whole routine. These are largely the same as they were in Farming Simulator 3D - just recover a lost/dropped shipment from somewhere in town to earn extra money - and will likely be seen as an annoyance by most, and quickly declined. In what feels like a tacked-on attempt to diversify play, there are also optional missions that present themselves on the touch screen at irregular intervals.

#FARMING SIMULATOR 14 MANUAL#
We had to enter in and out of the manual to identify a mower, a tedder, and a baler, just so we could get to makin’ hay. This is a frustrating exercise in shopping considering all offerings are listed by their product name, with a complete lack of explanation of their function. By using the touch screen to enter into the catalogue (or store), many pages of machines and attachments can be scrolled through and ordered that's if you have the funds, of course. Producing hay to feed the cattle - which results in milk to be sold and fertilizer for the fields - is dependent on different equipment than what’s used for the crops, none of which will be awarded from the start. Simulator or not, there’s no good reason not to implement more assistance for the players that need it - which will be everyone that’s never played a farming simulator - most people. To make these circumstances more aggravating was the fact that our initial file was started on beginner mode. In result of this, reading the manual from start to finish is not only imperative, but you should anticipate returning to it on a regular basis to answer many questions along the way. There are a small number of explanations that pop up when using certain pieces of equipment for the first time, but it’s more of a simple item description when what you'll really need are comprehensive instructions or visual guides. It might not sound too complex to start, but if you’re unfamiliar with farming procedures and equipment, expect to spend quite a while figuring things out for yourself once again, the mind-blowing absence of proper tutorials leads to a trial-and-error process that’s sure to deter and annoy many.Įven having played Farming Simulator 3D extensively about a year ago, we had forgotten the order of things, and struggled to get the operations, well, operational.

Tapping left or right on the D-pad will cycle through drivable vehicles, and it’s up to you to get them equipped with the correct attachment, and either manually steer them through the fields or get them to the desired position and engage autopilot - which costs a little money. All the necessary equipment needed to start turning a profit is on-hand and ready to be put to use. When starting out, your farming ventures will be limited to three fields: one is awaiting harvest, one ready to be cultivated, the other overgrown with grass that can be converted into hay for your cattle.
