How is it as far as simulation goes? Do you think it can give knee a reasonable idea of what it is like to run a farm?
[–] user2033 ago
I played '13. The thing that I found disappointing was that the crops didn't grow in real time. What I mean is, there was an in game clock that you could select the speed of, and that worked fine, but your crop would grow in like 3 game days. What I really wanted to do when I got the game was do my planting in the spring, do other things in the summer, and harvest in the fall. Like a real farm. Sure a lot of people just want their crops to grow fast so they can harvest them fast, but the game has a clock that you can control the speed of, so there's no reason to make the crops grow at supernatural speeds. If you're just into driving the tractors around and plowing fields and stuff it's not bad though. Put on some old country music and harvest canola late into the night.

Thanks, that's what I figured :-)

I'm not sure I'm qualified enough to answer that because I didn't play the game that much and have no idea what running an actual farm entails. You do have to earn in game money and you can manage that however you like, investing in whatever machinery you like.
I would play with my brother (he loves this game) and a friend, and we'd end up running the machines all at once which was a fun way to divide up the work. I usually had the combine harvester, my brother would till the land, and my friend would plant. Every so often one of them would hop off of their rig, get the tractor and wagon and pull up next to me; I'd deploy the boom on my harvester and fill up the wagon, and that way I wouldn't have to stop. If I remember right there was even a refueling truck that would refuel my rig so I wouldn't have to stop for that either. It took a bit of coordination between drivers, but that co-op effect is what I enjoyed the most. I ended up getting bored of the game just because driving the machines over and over just wasn't engaging enough for me.

I tried it once. Was poorly made and lame.

If it's anything like woodcutter simulator 13 then I believe you 100%.
