I lost $400 on hiring a person to do literally one length of a field. Unfortunately this isn’t the easy way out of monotony because they charge $1 per second and go even slower than I thought was possible, it’s like something you’d see on Rogue Traders where they milk a job for all they can. That is of course if you don’t outsource a job to a worker, which is done at the press of a button at anytime once you’re in the place that the job needs doing. That’s what you’ll be doing for the majority of your career in one way or another no matter the equipment you use. Just imagine hopping onto a tractor, lowering a cultivator and then riding up and down a field at a pretty slow speed. If you haven’t seen any actual footage of the game then I’d highly recommend finding some next time you’re having difficulty getting to sleep. Why? Quite simply due to the fact it’s as boring as being an adrenaline junkie in a library, wearing a straight jacket. So, in short, to get a taste of the many vehicles and tools on offer, Farming Simulator 15 relies on a real strength of will to stick it out until that point. Even buying animals comes with a cost anything other than chickens will force your hand into buying new equipment that is just unaffordable. When you consider how long it took me to accumulate a mere $15,000 bank balance after a mountain of hard work, roughly ten hours, and then price up the transportation vehicle for tree logs at $17,000, it’s a real slog to add another farming string to your bow. The main reason for this is not having the money to upgrade or add to your farming arsenal. Better get used to your starter kit of machinery because it’ll be a long time before you see any new tools of the trade. And there’s a massive $100,000 loan hovering over your head, which to be honest isn’t uncommon in this world to get a business going. Starting a career gives the player access to enough equipment in order to sow your seeds, collect whatever has grown and then cultivate the land to rinse and repeat the process.
It offers you a decent selection of how to grow your business but in reality you won’t be able to afford to do anything other than the basics for quite a while. Whether that’s by focussing on harvesting crops, dabbling in the world of forestry or having a go at animal husbandry (which isn’t nearly as odd as it sounds), it’s entirely up to you really… sort of. The idea is to have a successful career in farming by earning money from various activities, buying better equipment, acquiring more land and earning even more money. Harvest all kinds of crops, diversify your activities with forestry, tend to your livestock - pigs, cows, sheep, chickens - and ride your horses.Before I get into the nitty gritty of how exactly Farming Simulator 15 has disappointed a hopeful gamer, let me tell you more about the game.
