Farming Simulator 25
It’s been a little while since I’ve blogged about anything other than flight simulation and with the quickly approaching release date for the new version of GIANTS Farming Simulator I thought I would put a few thoughts down.
As I’ve mentioned before, my first experience with any sort of agricultural based simulation game was with Farming Simulator 15 and I’ve owned/played all the versions since. When I first started hearing about the future release of FS25 I honestly had mixed emotions. In recent months, I really haven’t spent a lot of time playing FS22. For me, my main simulation interest has always been flight simulation and I sort of intermix Farming and Trucking when the boredom starts to sit in. I had made the decision to take a “wait and see” approach to FS25. Wait until it was released and then watch some game play on Youtube to see what really has changed and go from there. After all, I figured my upcoming move to Texas which will be happening in the late October to early November timeframe would keep me far to busy to worry about doing any sort of gaming and certainly not a lot of time for virtual farming.
But, best laid plans and all that…I did decide to go ahead and pre-order Farming Simulator 25 yesterday on Steam. Everything mentioned above is still true. Most likely I won’t have much time to spend with FS25 until we’re settled into the new home as that must be my priority in life during this time. But what changed my mind?
I suppose I was feeling a bit sorry for myself as both my wife and I picked up Covid during our trip to Texas and we’re both feeling like we’ve been run over with a tractor. Plus while I must honestly say that there really isn’t a whole lot of new in FS25, there is some new features that interest me to make the purchase. I’m not going to go into all the details about FS25 as I’m sure you’ve watched and read all that has been mentioned about the new title. But bottom line is I’m looking forward to being able to spend a few hours with the new version when time permits and I’ll be sure to provide my opinions here at a later time.
Until then….
Happy Farming!!!
