Personally I like the ones on PS4 they are more realistic. To those who want to crap on this game if you don’t like farming then it’s not for you.

I'm disappointed that this edition took out the ability to knock over road signs and mailboxes. I aimed for those on purpose when I had the game on xbox through game pass. Was a little disappointed when I bought it for the Switch and found out you just go through the signs and mailboxes there. But at least it was on sale.

I find it funny, most people who play farming simulator usually get the most fun when they aren't farming. I recommend buying a farming simulator game on PC for modding and playing multiplayer with your friends. There are joke vehicles and so on with mods. You really only need to buy 1 game on PC and never really need to buy the sequels unless you are dedicated. Most people only buy 2013 because it is the most popular one with more mods. I recommend buying 2013 when it is on a sale.

This game is great. Definitely don’t get fs20 on the switch. The graphics might look a tad bit more plasticy with this but there’s way more features and I think there’s all the customization options for your equipment which the newer version does not have. I’d rather go to pc and get fs22 but I’m stuck with playing the mobile game on switch for now.
