Topic: Farming Simulator 2012

I didn't see a thread for this elsewhere. Apologies if I've doubled up.

Did anyone else get this game? I find it enormously addictive - it's actually my most played 3DS game this year according to my activity log. Very relaxing to play I felt.

I just remember some weird commercial for it that seemed like it was more exciting/interesting than the actual game, but apparently that's not the case.

I wouldn't call it exciting, but I find it really good for the hour or so before I go to sleep to unwind and relax. There's something strangely compelling about planting crops, harvesting them and driving tractors around an environment that looks a little like a diorama.

Are you serious, Choco?

I think this game isn't available in North America. Anybody care to verify that?

I am. I genuinely enjoy this game. :-/

I really want this game! It sounds like it'd be better off as a download though.

Doubly scratch the "exciting" comparison considering I just found what that advertisement actually is:

Harvest. Moon.

...You stole my post idea...

I've played the demo and it's strangely fun.

@Oddy the farmer wants a wife simulator 3D. I don't want to know what comes out of the screen :0

@Oddy - OMG! Is that advert real? LOL!! That is really funny.
But disregarding that ad .. maybe I'll give them demo a try. It sounded really silly when I read about it.

So much this! And that advert looks disgusting, why are you using a 3DS game box as your underwear? You could've spent that £29.99 properly and bought some decent underwear and clothes... dirty hobo farmers these days, they're a disgrace.

Not to brag, but a 3DS game box just wouldn't do the job for Spear. Maybe the actual 3DS box.

I just noticed how ridiculous that ad is. Stick this in your diary? What do they mean by "this?"

this

but animal crossing can give me a similair but much more polished experienece imo

... ... ... awkward ... ... ...

Give me Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon any day... I've played the demo and it was boring as heck!

Where exactly is the demo for this? Has it been released in North America?

All together now.
'Cause I got a brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the key
Come on now, let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got 20 acres and you got 43
Now I got a brand new combine harvester and I'll give you the key.

@Burning_Spear Nope.

I've got this game but the manual was all in German, so I can't understand it. The in-game help is non-existent and I gave up after an hour.

Choco, it's now your mission to help me enjoy this game.
