Preorder Farming Simulator 2013, Get a Lamborghini

[masticina]

Yup a farm simulator game..

I know we cannot wait to buy this AAA game..we so will be in a tent at the local store 6 days before. Oh yes.

 

[Evil Smurf]

yeah! I love avoiding playing these games

 

[Jfswift]

That's really cool actually. I went to look that up to see what they looked like. That was lambhorghini's first vehicle, a tractor.

 

[Ghadente]

i still can't tell if this is for real or not...

are there really people out there excited for this???

its like the most tedious part of strategy games got its own spin-off.

*i just had to check out some videos of Farming Sim games on youtube... and it just seems to me like its less playing a game and more like fake working. Tbh it made me a little depressed, my view of gaming is a way of escaping work in a sense. I suppose since its a "simulator" its intention isn't centered on the entertainment aspects.

just not my cup o' tea. More power to those who can find enjoyment in this type of stuff. If i ever want to learn about farming i'd definitely give this sim a go.

Eh, the more realistic a farm sim is, the less fun. I'm sure there are people shooting themselves in the foot at a shot of becoming a real farmer ::eyeroll::

The appeal of Farmville was to appeal to hoarders & collectors who love collecting different versions of the same thing & decorating, secondly to people with an OCD for for leveling on as many things as possible.

Cannot wait, it seems to be a lot bigger than the last game: http://www.gamer4eva.com/2012/10/farming-simulator-2013-new-features.html

Your sarcasm. It bites.

And that's not all! Chickens and sheep join cows for the deepest and most powerful animal husbandry lineup yet, while new machines and equipment dedicated to brand-new specialty crops like sugar-beets will turn the excitement dial all the way to 11! Could the Grimme Rexor 620 be in there? Keep your fingers crossed!

DEREK SMART'S DESKTOP COMMANDER is something I need to rewatch.

Also I don't suppose they'll have any eastern bloc agriculture simulators anytime soon?

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Farm Simulator 2013, the most exciting farm simulator on Earth!

Ride along on a tractor at almost 20 miles an hour!

Drive farm equipment to plant seeds!

Wait months in real time!

Drive farm equipment to dig up the grown up seeds!

Hire illegal immigrants!

CHICKENS!

Preorder now!

Also I don't suppose they'll have any eastern bloc agriculture simulators anytime soon?

And coming soon, Collectivist Farm Simulator 1936!

Plow fields with your bare hands!

Salute Stalin's photo!

Have your food be taken away for redistribution!

Slowly freeze to death waiting for a blanket shipment!

Be purged for crimes against the working man and the grand socialist state!

Preorder now, and you will get the Siberian Salt Mining DLC for free!

 

[Padwolf]

And here I thought that just for a moment it was a chance to win a real Lamborghini. Silly me.

It will never be as great as Harvest Moon and Rune Factory!

 

[TheRealCJ]

lol @ the person on the f/b thread ragingly defending the actual Farming Simulator" Fanbase".

For serious, that just makes the whole thing even more hilarious.

Heh, Yeah. I feel exactly the same when I see someone trying to defend Halo. Or Call of Duty.

 

[RoonMian]

There are people putting hard work into this game. There are other people enjoying these kinds of games.

And The Escapist is ironically (or sarcastically, whatever) "praising" this game.

Do we really need hipsters in our hobby? If the game is bad then do a review and tell us it's bad, please. But this destructive crap is just immature and dickish.

 

[TheMagicLemur]

I'm really getting sick of these.

We get it, Andy, you're confused and amused by the idea that anyone would play these.
Yeah, I don't get the appeal either, but you're kind of being a dick about it at this point.

Thank you. If I wanted snide jackassery I'd still visit SomethingAwful.

 

[kahlzun]

Also, Why do I feel like im the only person to know that they were talking about a tractor when I saw the words "farming sim" and "Lamborghini"?

Don't feel alone! I too understood the reference

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

Well, the sheep sealed the deal. Now I have to get this game.

 

[babinro]

Knowing how rich and well off rural farmer's are...I'd have been upset if the game excluded their typical vehicle of choice.

Finally I can emulate that old time country farming feeling complete with cow tipping and Lamborghini's

After all these articles I'm guessing Andy Chalk was forced to work on a farm as a child during his summer vacations or something more sinister along those lines.

I think he worked on a special farm for naughty catholic boys or something.

8 posts into a news thread about a farming simulator and we already got our first segway into porn. Yay internet.

On topic, kind of: Are we limited to traditional farming or are we allowed to grow... other crops... like poppies, cacao, or marijuana?

If not, I see big potential for this game in an untapped market demographic...

Not porn, child molestation by people who hold religious authority. But point taken, I apologise for dragging this thread into such things.

Drugs, classy.

Two words: crazy nuns.

And we're right back there...

Drugs, classy.

Hey, some of us want farming to cover all areas of farming, not just the socially acceptable ones like tomatoes, tobacco, and tomacco...

More power to you, I want to farm rare item drops personally, they grow on trees.
