*shrug*. Can't be any worse than the Zynga games my mom plays, and I don't give her a hard time about it (ok, maybe a little). Some people enjoy these sim.... uh... games.
Also, I think the article filled the Escapists quota for snark for the week

This means I must pre-order the most expensive version of this awesome game while playing this song twenty four seven.
I salute you, Internet.
I.. I find this really distasteful. The people who developed this game are just as much of a games developer as any other company, but it's okay to completely bash them because they develop a series of game that doesn't appeal to you? I won't claim to be a player of farm simulators, but I can see the appeal in them and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when people talk down to it simply because of it's subject matter rather then the actual quality of the game itself.
Scotty, status report.

Just want to chime in here really quick. Those of you claiming "vitriol" or that Andy thinks of the designers as "inferior developers," etc. may have missed the intended joke. You've probably never heard of this game, and neither have most people. Games like this, which, I'm sure are great, never receive the hype of their more popular contemporaries. I understand if you didn't find the tone funny, but please don't put words in anyone's mouth. In the news room, all of us talk about how amazing it is that these games are out there (waaay more often than you think, or is probably normal) and how much we'd like to try them out. Yes, they're often weirdly banal-sounding, but that's what makes them intriguing and, in some cases, worth chuckling about.
The fact of the matter is that we, and most other sites, just don't get to write about stuff like this very often because the audience for it is traditionally low. So, when we do, we like to try and present it as entertainingly as possible (which, not everyone will dig every time) just to have a means to get it out there. So, please, be a tad more liberal with offering others the benefit of the doubt, and try not to take things too seriously. If you honestly think we would ever spew random hatred at a game for not conforming to the norm, then you really just don't know us all that well. I guess what I'm saying is, feel free to find us unfunny, but please don't confuse that with us somehow doling arbitrary condemnation. Thanks, everyone.

I think one's coming out for the 3DS soon. Not sure though.Jorec said:
OT: You're damn right Farming Simulator wins! 2012 was out for the 3DS... and it currently is the best game in my collection.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! TRACTORS!
This...this is going to be legendary.
Also, does anyone else think the dude in the picture next to the story on the news page looks like Ellis from Left 4 dead 2?
"Did I ever tell you 'bout the time me and my buddy keith starred in a farming simulator?"
And insulting? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the devs of this game are aware they're catering to a pretty niche audience. It's certainly no call to insult the writer.

I think I'll stick with Harvest Moon for now. I love my Harvest Moon (probably a bit too much). I think I prefer the personal element of it. Watering and harvesting the crops and taking care of the animals myself, along with getting to know the people down in the local village, that's what makes it fun for me.
But apparently some people like this game, so it's awesome for them that they get a new version of the game they love.

You know what, I'm calling it now. Game Of The Year. If it doesn't win it, it will be a travesty.
Seriously though, these guys have found their niche and are catering to them well, so good on them.

Just to let you know, although it may be due to the fact that's it's half 2 in the morning and I'm tired, that video had me in tears of laughter. Thank you.alrekr said:
For some reason, 2 of my friends and me have farm simulator 2012, gets a bit repetetive because all of the different actions consist of pasting a different texture on the floor with a different tool (not oversimplifing) but then we discoverd mods nothing as fun as fudging up some ones farming fun by driving into his tractor with a lamborgini gallardo (no thats not also a tractor
last time i checked there was a mod for airplanes.
Edit: on a serious note, i do think that it stands miles above games like streetcleaning simulator and it's ilk.
