Does It Launch

  • Aformentioned -force-glcore42 -force-clamped CLI options required to make it work

Performance @ 1080

  • At first it was a little chuggy, I was petrified
  • But then it smoothed out

Graphics

  • I mean, it has them
  • Props to the little farmer dude for keeping their back flat while lifting things though

Control

  • Picks up the dual shock, got xbox prompts though


Pedro: 

Does It Launch

  • It launches into a seizuretastic, blurry screen.
  • In order to get it to work you need to set a few launch flags:

-screen-fullscreen 1 -screen-width 3840 -screen-height 2160 -force-glcore42 -force-clamped

  • Adjust the resolution to match your own

Performance @ 1080

  • At 1080 it peaks at 120-ish ferPS and holds over 100.
  • At 3840×2160 the FerPS count is about half with dips to 40.

Graphics

  • AA, Depth of Field and Motion Blur are the “advanced options” and to Milkstone’s credit they work properly.
  • I still disabled motion blur because it looks like absolute ass, still.

Control

  • Even on the lowest point of the sensitivity slider the mouse is still a little too fast for my liking.
  • That said, you don’t need pin point accuracy for Farm together so it’s passable.

  • Venn:
    • Hurry up and wait simulator.
    • I lack the FK out of whatever it is that causes people to get sucked into these games.
    • Farmville, Candy Crush and the like.
    • And that’s why I’m unable to recommend Farm Together sine it’s “that game”
    • I gave it the business but at the end of the day it’s the same formula.
    • Do work, make money, buy useless shite to show off to your friends… TO REAL!
    • Nothing made me take a step back, strip neekid and prance about screeching eureka! Now I get it!
    • On the flipside it’s a well done work, make money, buy useless shite to show off to your friends simulator.
  • Jordan
    • Man, I’m farming the shit out of some lettuce
    • Like, I got that level 6 lettuce life
    • It took me a couple minutes, but I finally narrowed down the feeling I get playing this game:
      • Having unread texts or emails piss me off. I always read them ASAP so that stupid glowy alert in the browser or on my phone go away
      • This game is the exact feeling of this
    • I managed to put an hour and 45 into it, and at no point did I feel anything resembling
    • I felt Like I was farming shit. Props to this game for the verisimilitude, but it’s not my thing at all
    • This game really benefits from a desire to come back to it at some point, which I lack.
  • Pedro
    • When I said this game had the potential to be 3D farmville, I had only played a little bit.
    • After getting sucked in for 2 hours and feeling like it had only been 30 minutes, I can say for a fact that they accomplished their mission.
    • That is, if their mission was to create a completely mindless time vampire to keep you collecting virtual eggplants.
    • This game has charm pouring out of all its visual assets and animations.
    • I don’t really care that it has multiplayer but I can say for a fact that that will bring a lot more people who wouldn’t have ever given it a chance otherwise.
    • This could have been just another cynical cash grab game but I’m glad they put the extra effort in.
    • Might be a hard sell at over £15 but, if Farmville had you spending a lot more time on Facebook than you otherwise would have back in the day, you’re going to like this one too.
