    По сравнению с частью 2014 года, эта игра намного лучше. Значительно улучшена графика (но она всё ещё выглядит хреново), улучшен интерфейс (незначительно). Появилось хреновое управление. Геймплей очень скучный.

    Not good game, The game looks bad and there is no optimization. There is no vehicle physics and the people and their cars look like plastic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Server Hosts ruin game play of farming simulator 19 by banning users for little or no reason. Some take this game so seriously they only want experts on their server. Hosts just want to bully people/children and only let their friends on their server or use equipment. My child has had enough of this treatment and is getting to the point of wanting to throw out the game. He has enjoyed the game other than this and has helped writing this review. Unless the game developer or distributor of this game takes an active role in ensuring hosts not bully users, I do-not recommend buying this game.… Expand

    This is a review of the game from some one who has done about 400 hours on Farming Simulator 17 and now about 20 hours on Farming Simulator 19 Platinum Edition on XBox One platform.

My take right now is that 17 was more fun. I'd say it's unlikely I'll ever build anything on 19 like the spectacular operations I've put together on 17.

    One of the things that made 17 enjoyable was the wide variety of mods that made tedious elements of the game more bearable. The 64,000 liter feed mixer for one is missing from 19 and there's little likelihood that I'll even bother to raise cattle with out it. Because with the 32K liter mixer and a herd of 500 cattle you'll sit down to play your game and each and every time spend about 2 hours doing nothing but mixing feed. It really gets old. I could get by with less cattle but i play these sims to stretch the limits of the agriculture. How much livestock can all the fields support? If I can't have a huge herd I don't want to build one at all. The cattle also require a great deal of hay, straw and grass. In 17 great mods exist for building high-capacity silos to store anything but silage. And you don't really need the modded silos for silage because you're allowed to place bunker silos for that. But in 19 there is absolutely no way to store grass except by dumping it out on the ground.

    Horses are welcome but to get the full value of selling them you have to ride, groom, and feed each one. Not the market scenario I wanted. And not a realistic one.

    Essentially 19 has taken out of the game things that made the game somewhat easier. In that way they have answered critics who said 17 was too easy and it is getting back to basics. But it also removed some of the fun from the experience. The BSM 70,000 liter tipper mod is gone, but there's an even larger tipper available standard now at 770000. Which is welcome. Unfortunately, the Krone Big M500 Mower is missing. Another reason why I won't even try to raise cattle in Farming Simulator 19. The John Deere equipment is welcome. But you'd expect their harvester to be the best. It's not. I haven't been able to check out their Cotton package yet.

    There seems to be more credit at the bank in Farming Simulator 19. I've already borrowed 375K and I don't think I'm tapped out yet.

    I've taken the starting position in 19 where you have some buildings and several tiny fields. One of the first things I put together was a logging outfit with the Fliegl trailer. Because timber was an important part of my early game in 17. But 19 is not friendly to timber. The log hook for tractor is horrible but with practice you can make it work for you. The double hook mod is not available in 19. You can only cut trees near your property and there is no abundance of nice, tall pines to cut. Instead, there are nuisance trees that grow in gnarled shapes and are difficult and cumbersome to remove. But an opportunity exists to greatly expand your fields from this starting position by getting a plow and carving them out. I was able to double the size of Field 19 and so it is satisfying in a tougher game to be carving something out from scratch. Disappointing is that the payout for timber in 19 is only about 50% of what it was in 17. It's not a profitable activity unless you plant new trees yourself. It took me 12 hours of game play just to remove those big, gnarled trees. And I only got about $60,000 in timber income after clearing the field extensions. It was a pathetic pay-out for all that work. Really the only reason to own a logging operation in the game is to clear lands for development..

    Contract work in 17 was lucrative and was also an important part of my early game. I won't be doing a single lick of contract work in 19 because it just doesn't pay enough. When I harvested the largest field for another farmer in 17 I got a $100K pay check with bonus. In 19 the largest contract I'm being offered is $30,000 and almost all the other pay outs are far less than that. And now you must not only do the harvesting but deliver the goods. If you've done root crops in previous installments you must know just how ridiculous that requirement is. I'm not delivering root crops for anyone.. There is also a glitch in the game where you can make an error and not get paid for your work because of a delivery problem. The AI will say with a prompt that crops are missing so you don't get paid. So working for other farmers in 19? Do yourself a favor and forget it. Work on your own farm.

    There is opportunity for joining fields in 19 but the developers saw fit to make the largest desirable fields into weird oblong shapes. Perhaps they've fixed the bug but in 17 AI helpers struggle with any field not shaped in a perfect rectangle or square. In 17 the large fields met that requirement. Not so in 19.    … Expand

Other than that the game physics need a good bit of work took a mild turn at 7mph on level ground and tractor and trailer roll over like they were hit with a wrecking ball. Vehicles other than yours can not be moved, got tarped in a street after I clipped a pole and the ai driver just parked right up on the trailer and my tractor stuck had to disable traffic to even have a hope of getting unstuck. Hired an AI to plow a field and it just drove off straight without stopping. Has a Bail grabber for square bails none of the bailers make square bails. The bailer with a built-in wrapping machine will not wrap the bails. The trailers do not always register what you put in them so it can take forever just to try and sell your goods. I like the fact the game has multiple start modes but would be nice when they start you with a loan that they tell you you have one. No way to get a vehicle unstuck but to sell it. Ai get stuck on everything, nor will they do the task you want them to half the time. Most of the time for an AI to do what you tell them you have to be currently doing it yourself. You can tell the game is set up to pull up next to the field and get an Ai to work just never dose, only says a worker has completed work without doing anything at all. I got the game for free and it has been nothing but a head ace the whole time. Bail grabber for frontloaders and the one on the logging truck are as useful as the ones in one of the ripoff claw machines at wall-mart. A lot of the controls are not intuitive at all. Disconnecting what you want to form a machine is a crapshoot if it has more than one thing hooked to it. You can switch between attachments but you never know what you are switching to or from. So far my experience has been nothing but poor execution on pretty much every thing.… Expand

    Not a great deal more in this than there was in FS17 really.

    Postage stamp sized maps. Prefab placeables as new farm buildings. Same old machinery. No hired help with forestry. No pathfinding for hired help to start from anywhere but the edge of a field.

    One of the worst games I've ever purchased. I saw the hype about the game and thought it looked great. The graphics are good. However, the developers clearly have never properly tested the game and lots of things are down to poor design. If you're happy to spend long hours developing a farm only for it all to be wasted due to an issue of poor design or a bug then this is the game for you.One of the worst games I've ever purchased.

If you're happy to spend long hours developing a farm only for it all to be wasted due to an issue of poor design or a bug then this is the game for you. Many examples, but here's a couple.

    You can do contracts for other farms. Great. However, harvest a field for them and deliver all of the harvested crop to the designated place and the reward is FS19 says you have failed the contract due to "missing crops" and your reward is you pay for doing the contract (your reward is negative $).

    Try to move something on a pallet with a tractor fitted with a pallet fork and the pallet will not leave the pallet fork. Even angle the pallet forks vertically down and the pallet will not drop off. Try to reset it by disengaging the pallet fork from the tractor and it can flip upside down and from there you cannot never reconnect the pallet fork to the tractor.

    Some of the economic values in the game are silly. Get a field with a potato crop ready to harvest and even if you have a tractor and trailer capable of taking the harvest to market (ie that costs you zero) the cost of leasing the harvester for the minimum time necessary is more than the crop is worth.

    Yes I am sure there are ways to survive in the game but so far that seems to exclude doing any harvesting contracts, excludes several of the crops which are uneconomic, means doing simple things like moving a pallet 5m risks ending up in an unrecoverable situation......    … Expand

    The game is great, just a shame it got the most lazy and most horrible support team ever created on earth.
    Twice they have given me a CD-Key now, and both times it only worked for 24 hours.

    They never answer, it took them 2 months to answer me, and now they havent answered me in a month, really a horrible company and support team, so if anything happens to you, dont get your hopes up.

    Well FS 19.
    It costs 34.99 euros from steam and what do you get in the game?
    **** vehicle physics. Horses almost crashes the multiplayer. Bad graphics. AI cars are like brick wall cant push them away from your way and it is frushtirating when driving with a big harvester and vehicles turn too fast and you cant chance the sensitivity for turning. Buildings are frustrating to place and    Well FS 19.

    - The game graphics no better than FS17.
    - Placing buildings in game is really frustrating because it damages your fields or roads.
    - Many lands are useless because it has no field and unable to place anything after buying.
    The game lack a lot of necessary stuff for building or farming.

    Лично я на данную серию ставил большие надежды, но как оно и бывает они небыли оправданы. Что лично меня порадовало в данной игре: Были добавлены лошади которые поменяли стандартный геймплей в выращивании животных, Были добавлены пару марок новой техники(John Deere,Komatsu и много других). Был капитально переделан HUD, и интерфейс игры(Магазин, карта и прочее). Теперь минусы которые я заметил: По скольку у FS19 нету явных конкурентов они очевидно не собирались делать что либо грандиозное, по сему я могу заявить что давние проблемы FS не были решены, такие как странная физика поведения техники, Не логичность в некоторых аспектах игры(При падении с высоты в недавно добавленный показатель прочности не уменьшается). Особым ужасом я считаю ужасное освещение, вырвеглазный фильтр который лично для меня портит всю игру.    … Expand

    Farming Simulator 19 is… just another Farming Simulator game. Slight changes include new graphics, horses and John Deere machines. It’s still the best farming simulator around, with all the strengths and weaknesses of its predecessors, but you won’t miss much if you skip it.

    Is this going to convert the non farming enthusiasts? I don’t think so… but for those with an interest it will likely scratch an itch that doesn’t have another outlet outside of a massive bank loan and a lot of hard labour.
