FS’25 isn’t locked to Epic.

[-] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

The franchise is not available on GOG unfortunately.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

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 ?

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months 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.

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 10 points 10 months ago

I think you replied to the wrong post (maybe a client bug?)

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 21 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The context here is hilarious. Makes it seem like farming simulator is some kind of super subversive, fucked up thing we shouldn't allow children to play. lol

"What if they actually become farmers? That's not what we want for our children is it?"

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

If our kids become farmers they’d have to rely on goberment subsidies and I’m not raising no socialist!!!

[-] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

Lmao, no idea what went wrong there

[-] overload@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 8 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] stardust@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[-] aluminium@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] BurningRiver@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

Sometimes I just want to sit back and play something that doesn’t involve shooting at anything or blowing shit up. It’s relaxing I guess.

[-] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months 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.

[-] Manzas@lemdro.id 4 points 10 months ago

Super relaxing multiplayer

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

Funny comparison. One is a yearly multiplayer-ish release and the other is a sequel to a 13 year old singleplayer action game. I have no doubt AW2 could sell a ton more copies… but they’ve decided they don’t want that

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 10 months ago

No, they decided that Epic was the best bet to get the game done at all as they were willing to finance it, and this is the unfortunate outcome.

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

Yep, I’m aware of why they went with Epic, but if Epic wanted to make more of a return they’d put the game on the platform with more paying users. But they decided they don’t want that

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Sorry, I thought you were blaming Remedy and not Epic.

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

Fair, I wasn’t clear! I’m sure Remedy would LOVE to get the game in as many player’s hands as they could

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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