FS’25 isn’t locked to Epic.

[–] Brumefey 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The franchise is not available on GOG unfortunately.

FS will probably never be as you stream the satellite data.
At best low res map packs.

[–] Brumefey 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Which satellite data are you referring ? I played the game a few years ago and it was offline (I think). Maybe you misread the title as Flight Simulator ? Or there is something I do not get ?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Oh whoops. Yeah I thought FS was referring to Flight Sim :')
But point still stands for that.
As for Farming Sim idk. The only time I played it was on my 3DS playing the FS13 demo.
Was okay to play with.

As a fan of the original, I still haven't played Alan Wake 2 because I refuse to buy anything from the Epic Game store.

That being said, I also haven't played any of the farming sim games, though that's because they look incredibly boring--no offense to those who enjoy them, they're just not for me.

It's not a games job to protect the children, but the parents job. It's pretty weird we've got to this point here.

Can you grow hemp in farm simulator

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

You can if you get it on PC and install mods to be able to.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Definitely. Can't remember if it's in the base game (update: no, it's a mod) but it works like cotton and tobacco.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's not farm sim, but Project Zomboid has some decent farming mechanics (and a shitload of mods). A lot of the very popular mods just add drugs into the game. A couple of those highest rated ones add a ton of weed stuff to the game (papers; grinders; bongs; pipes; farmable seeds and hemp with different strains, stages of growth, and even disease the plants can catch). Modders are wild.

i wonder how much of that has to do with the e sports scene.

Who is the market for these simulator games? I don't know anyone who plays them. They don't look bad to me, but there must be a type of gamer I'm blind to.

Edit: great answers thanks all.

i have over 300 hours in farming sim 2015. i bought the deluxe edition. got a little model tractor and a keychain.

i... don't know.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It seems so niche but somehow more mainstream than horror games like Alan Wake. It always blows me away how popular simulators are despite not knowing anyone who plays them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Germans, the game is a #1 Bestseller there every time it releases.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

They get you in different ways. Maybe Dave the Diver hooks you with some fun farm and restaurant mechanics. Then you make a little garden in Valheim and that feels pretty good. You think maybe you'll experiment with a bit of Stardew. Then next thing you know, BAM you're mainlining Farming Simulator-- Ironically at first, and then not.
