Agricultural Simulator 2011: Extended Edition

I bought this in 2013 and hated it so much, I never opened/played it again. Steam tried to offer me a refund today, in 2020, for this purchase, which I thought was funny, but figured I should post this either way. Not worth it, very hard to control, not what I thought it would be at all.

Edited: Originally, I had given this a positive review as I was enjoying the game. The issues I saw were mainly equipment tumbling in the garage when the garage door was opened. You ignore it and it will correct itself when the garage door closes. There was also a noticeable delay in the game starting after launch. Just wait, it will start (at least it did for me). There were physic issues where a tractor or combine would occasionally fall apart piece by piece and float into the air, which seemed to happen at the edge of fields or a bump. In spite of these issues, I just saved often and continued on.

I figured out how to generate the most money to help me quickly buy more land, upgrade buildings, as well as equipment purchases and upgrades. I also started to hire farmhands as I grew in size.

I later discovered that if you play for awhile without saving, the game will lockup and crash. Therefore, I am reminded to save the game often. So far, seemed OK with the saving often work around, but, i started having major issues after I had purchased the third farm. The game did not seem to be able to handle such a large operation. It started to crash shortly after I started to do some farming activity. I don't know if the game intended for me to sell off the earlier farms as I progressed to bigger farms. I was trying to run all three farms at the same time with two farmhands operating at each one. Apparently, it was too much for the game to handle. I had also noticed that the game will lock up if you try to use equipment bought for one farm to do something on another. For example, I was hauling a trailer of barely from one farm to the silos of the other...CRASH. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that each farm is independent of the other.

I got this game in a simulations bundle and should be the only way you end up with the game in your library. There are probably less buggy farm games out there so I do NOT recommend this game as an outright purchase.

This is a good game with amazing graphics and I like the user friendly controls that it features. This is a game that I highly recommend to fans of simulation games.

This game is so Fucked up that it's unplayable, the guides dont work, there's no tutorial, and it barely gave ame a testicular tumor, just played 10 mins of it and i', done, Help in game neither works, please don't buy it untill it gets fixed.

Well... this game would have been fun if therre wouldn't be bugs and that the graphics would be optimized... defenitly not worth a penny

The game runs ok I have this and the 2012 version i would recomend the 2012 version as it has more in it.

BEAWARE this game can be unstable I have not had instubility on these UiG titles but just be aware of this before you purchise these game the can be unstable to the point of not being useable.

So I love farming. I mean LOVE. So when I heard about Farming Simulator I was happy. When I watched footage of this game I was blown away. I really love it, probably a huge competitor against Farming Simulator. If it wasn't so buggy. All Ag sim games are glitchy, none of them as bug free as this one though. If you want a good not buggy game get Farming Simulator 2013 and the More Realistic engine (Don't worry it only makes the physics better). If you want a realistic farming game get this. Depends on what ya want, Ag Sim 2011 2013 or maybe even the Professional Farmer series. Either way get FS or Ag Sim. i gurantee you won't be disappointed with either.

10/10 really nails the life of being a farmer. It's really hard and time consuming so all you casuals better stear clear, and for all the MLG farming vets they added a ton of bugs and glitches to make it harder for you :D

Agricultural Simulator 2011 achieves in what it set out to be, a slow paced simulation of basic agricultural concepts. Indeed, if you aren't looking for something that will tickle your itch for plowing fields, this isn't the game for you. But don't fret prematurely, for there is much mischief to be made in multiplayer with your friends! "Want to have a tractor race?", you're on! "Smash pedestrian cars with enormous farming equipment?!", even better! The sand-box esque still will leave you with many hours of play, and with its low price, you really can't go wrong with Agricultural Simulator 2011. Just make sure that if you don't like simulating farm procedure that you have friends to play with!

Very in depth game. Much more so than Farming Simulator... But maybe a little too in depth for some people. It kicks you into the deep end with very little explanation... If you're an actual farmer, this is fine... so I enjoyed it!
Kinda buggy though.. and the graphics, while better in some respects than Farming Simulator, it does eat your graphics card for no apparent reason..

really cool game cant play on high grfx even with duel core but its still awesome once u get into it if ur a farmer u will love it or even a city person and want to see what farming life is about this is for u

Really really enjoyed this game. For the one hour that i played this game, i liked how it was slow paced and boring. It was also fun how laggy it was and how i didnt really get anywhere in the game, and the fact that i was invicible to my friends. There was also really no set instructions on how you play this game. This aspect is what makes this game mysterious which in turn makes it fun. Highly recommend it, especially to someone who has a really bad computer.

I cannot, under any circumstance, recommend that anyone buy this game, or any other game by either developers. Products never work as intended, have major issues, and are often just eye candy, good to look at but no other redeeming features or qualities.

0/10
Do not buy.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game to any gamer unless they are deadly serious about their farming simulators.
This game offers absolutely no help, tutorials or explanations on how to play at all. You're simply thrown into the game and will spend your time clueless on what to do before you ragequit or borequit.
I've played a whole lot of FS13 and assumed it would be a similar experience (even if from different companies). But I was very wrong.
However, the game is actually a pretty good looking game for something that came out a few years ago. But it's not for everyone, the effects can really bother some people, luckily there are options to turn them off if you don't quite like some of the shaders being used.
It would be nice if this game had co-op but unfortunately that is not the case for this game or Agricultural Simulator 2013 either.
So if you had to play a farming simulator game, I'd recommend FS13 demo instead due to that being a free trial to see if you like it and if you do, get that instead. It also has co-op so you can play with friends.

"3/10". According to My Own Rating.

A farming simulator that has better (although laggy) graphics and livestock breeding but is harder to get started, doesn't allow modding and is filled with bugs (couldn't expect any better from the creators of skyscraper simulator).

Got 2 points for the graphics and 1 for the livestock breeding. Even though it's not really fun, the livestock it's much more diverse than the Farming simulator's one so... at least they tried something. Everything else is way worse than Farming simulator.

Interface lag.
No modding.
Bugs. Lots of them. Some will make the game crash.
VERY Stupid AI.
Hard to get started (took me a while to figure out the game had already started).
No tutorial.
Not so intuitive controls.
No real brands for machinery (not like I really care though).
Everything is too damn slow. It may take SEVERAL HOURS to complete a farming cycle (assuming you use the time skip feature to speed up crops' growth. Otherwise it would take days).
Prices are not balanced and can't be fixed since there's no modding.

You can go for livestock breeding and make a billion dollars faster than a single crop cycle (which is worth about 20k). Although you'll probably get bored and quit before that.

Not worth buying unless it is included in a bundle you're already buying. Don't expect any better from the 2013 version. If you get the demo you'll see the interface lagging got even worse.

Buy Farming Simulator instead.

Pretty buggy. You're invisible in multiplayer, and the menus are very confusing at first. I prefer Farming Simulator 2013, least of all because I can make silly mods with it.

7/10 Bears

The bear scale:

< 2 It's crap don't waste your time
2-5 It's below what a bear standard would be.
5-7 It's good, might be a thing in there that's above industry standard
7-9 You will probably enjoy, you should buy this to support the developer
9+ GOTY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS THEN YOU'RE MISSING OUT

Review:
WHAT'S THAT YOU WANT TO PLAY FARMVILLE? FUCK YOUR FARMVILLE BUY THIS SHIT.

(Not as good as farming simulator, but good enough to buy for $5.)

After playing this game for quite some time solo now, and whilst I initially thought it was a much better game graphically wise than Farming Simulator 2011, I am rather disappointed by quite a few things; the worst one being that I can no longer get the multiplayer to work. I have come across a quite a few bugs over time and a few minor points where the developers seem to have taken short cuts. The most obvious bug I have seen in the game is the 'last row bug' which is where the last row of a field hasn't grown, yet it can still be harvested, now this is annoying as it is but what I find takes the biscuit is that they have gone and released Agrar Sim 2012 with this bug fixed but not bothered to fix the problem in 2011. I was also tempted to get the Biogas Add-on which apprantly also fixes some of the bugs I've seen, but Steam have not bothered to put it up for sale.

Don't touch this with a Ten foot barge pole, Needs serious updates to make the game play viable...
Avoid at all costs 0.2\*5

El juego me encanta es como si fuera real el juego es uno de los mejores simuladores que e visto de agricultura. Es una pasada lo aconsejo a todo el mundo el unico problema que tiene que hacer servidor beta en multijugador hay muchas caidas de servidor aconsejo este pedazo simulador menos por el multiplayer.
