Farming Simulator 25 is a massive disappointment at launch. Let me break down why:

1) Low Base Game Equipment
The base game comes with embarrassingly few equipment options, especially for a title that claims to improve with every release. It feels like a slap in the face to the modding community and the players. Mods are the lifeblood of this franchise, and Giants knows it. Without mods, every FS games would be dead in the ditch after a few months. And yet, mod list has been taken down, and mod releases are painfully slow. It’s frustrating, to say the least.

2) Missing Farming Essentials
No corn stalk baling? No corn dryers? No crop dryers at all? This is basic farming 101, and it’s still nowhere to be seen (until modders will introduce it!). How does a farming simulator miss these fundamental features? It's baffling.

3) No Precision Farming
Precision farming is still absent, likely because Giants will lock it behind a pay-to-play DLC. Why can't this series work like ETS2, where the base game remains intact and DLCs add to the experience? Instead, they churn out a new game every two years with less content than the previous version. Is it pure greed? Or just a complete lack of understanding of what players actually want?

I’ve switched back to FS22 for at least another year, where thanks to modders (not Giants!), I can actually enjoy the game. Maybe by then FS25 will have enough content to feel like a finished product.

My advice? Do yourself a favour and buy FS22 instead. It’s cheaper, has better mods, and is far more enjoyable. Giants really dropped the ball this time.
