    I love this game because there is a general lack of hormone filled children who all want to get the best k/d ratio in the world.

All of the negatives are right, but then... not all games are shooting for exact realism. Especially when you consider fs15's price point. This game is way less disappointing than Watch_Dogs, and many other huge titles from studios with hundreds of millions of dollars to pour into a game. It isn't supposed to be a graphical masterpiece. It isn't supposed to be a showcase for advanced cutting edge AI. It's supposed to be a game where you build communities who are interested in mid sized farming operations. This is a modder's playground. Not many companies are willing to open their games up, and support the modding community the way FS15 has done. Allowing modders to tow the line with respect to most of the aspects of the game... is kind of the point. I always loved games where you had a hand in actually improving, or advancing the game somehow. Plus, the developers actually DO listen to the community. If you don't want that experience; a perfectly rounded cutting edge title, then this game isn't for you. Expand

    Have been playing this for 30hrs+ and its my 1st forray at any type of farming simulator and I cant put it down.

    This game takes farming sim 2014 and makes it even better. Logging is great, farming is as good as always, maps are great, machines are great, graphics are great and I love the tire marks on the dirt it stays there for ages it's great. I recommend you buy it and give it a go, if you have played previous versions get this you will love it.

    I couldn't really get into FS13 but ive got to say this game feels like a massive step up, the user interface looks superbe, the graphics look much improved and the mechanics feel much smoother and more easy going. The biggest addition by far is the ability to pretty much become a lumber jack, cutting and growing trees is great fun, that pretty much sold the game to me and im notI couldn't really get into FS13 but ive got to say this game feels like a massive step up, the user interface looks superbe, the graphics look much improved and the mechanics feel much smoother and more easy going.

    65 Metacritic score seems wholley unfair based on other games rated higher than this that are not as good I would say this is at least a 70 if not a 75 and once mods start getting released it can only get better. Yes this game is not perfect but i think that just adds charm, if you are looking for something relaxing and untaxing this is the perfect game.

    Lot of improvements like new physics engine, superb graphics and just a galore of possibilities and gameplay. Already played this game for over 50 hours now and still loving it... also there are thousands of mods to download for free!

    It's difficult to explain the appeal of this game, especially when I don't entirely understand it myself. I'm not a grind-gamer by nature, so it's a mystery as to why I will sit for hours on end, drinking coffee and grinding away at fields. But sit I do, pot upon pot of coffee, field upon field of wheat, canola, a little corn to fill the bunkers. I can't really classify it as boring.

I guess if you have a technical nature like I do you will find the machinery interesting.
    I live in a farm county and never payed much attention to the tractors and such roaming the fields nearby, mainly because I'm not a farmer. But now I notice all of them as I drive by. Passing the local equipment supplier, I find myself thinking "Hey, they have a 10.9 in the yard. I wonder if they have the large header for it. I'd like to climb inside and push buttons." and "why don't they make those manure spreaders larger?"
    Learning, I guess is what draws myself to this. I've spent a bit of time on the net looking up details of the machinery, how they function, etc. Even the growth cycle of corn.
    Do I recommend this for everyone? No. Action junkies will probably not like it. If you like making artificial money in an artificial world and get some sense of accomplishment from it, you probably will like it.

    I purchased the 2013 version of this game but didn't play it much due to (in my mind) the kind of goofy graphics. Out comes the 2015 version and I am regretted not putting in the time.

There is a heap of missions and activities to do to keep you busy. Expand

    Defiantly an improvement over the previous FS2013 game. The textures are more detailed, the AI has improved for example a hired worker no longer gets stuck at a tree. I never really got into FS2013 but found myself easily spending hours on FS 15. The physics are fairly impressive but not quite the game Spin Tires.

The physics are fairly impressive but not quite the game Spin Tires. The UI layout looks better and is easy to navigate. There are allot of tools and machinery to acquire and use, many different crops some of which require different methods to harvest. Overall it is a very enjoyable experience however could be improved in the textures, shaders and physics aspects as it really doesn't push my system at all with everything set to max, i mean the game size is less than 3GB, take a very graphically pleasing game like Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor thats 45GB.

    Have played since FS2013. A relaxing game where you can sit back and take your time, there's no bombs blowing up. Nobody shooting at you no timers running out before you become a charred corpse.

I personally love the game so much, I got the Saitek Controller with the side panel and pedals. Adds a whole new level of fun to the game. Also making the forestry aspect of the game MUCH easier to control. In my opinion well worth the money if your budget allows. Graphics are great, it's stretchable over multi monitors although I prefer one over 3. Definitely worth the money for the game. Expand

    One of the best simulator's of all time! Great fun with awesome graphic's and mod's. It could be better with multi-player. I've incountered lots lag when playing multiplayer. So I don't play much Multi-player.

    An exercise in tedium, Farming Simulator 15 has a very laudable compromise with the recreation of agriculture, but its problematic progression, poor presentation and general dullness detract from its genuine potential as the best simulator on the subject.

    It’s not difficult to see why people would seek a more relaxing game after having their senses barraged with endless gun-toting violence, but this game doesn’t offer the video game equivalent of a week spent dozing in a hammock on an Aruban beach; it’s an exhaustingly dull weekend in the Scandinavian countryside with only chickens and low-poly civilians for company.

    Farming Simulator 15 is a well-engineered simulator and farm management game with a much broader appeal than what the setting might suggest. The level of detail of the machines is impressive, and it’s a joy to explore and control all the different machines and equipment available in this slow-paced game.
