![]() ![]() That leaves me to conclude that any major new advancements for the franchise are probably being left for the next true iteration of the franchise. ![]() That just seems to be a simplified version of FS19, despite the number bump. After all, the team has been working on the upcoming Farming Simulator 20, which will be coming to Switch and mobile in just a few weeks. Since this is being touted as the “Platinum Expansion/Edition” of Farming Simulator 19, I’m assuming that it isn’t likely that GIANTS has much more major new content planned for the game after this. I just wish it added more depth to the gameplay rather than its being an addition to what we’ve already been experiencing for the past year. It’s a step back from what GIANTS has done in the past, which is a shame.Ĭompared to FS17‘s Platinum DLC, this is technically a step back.įor $15, the amount of content that you’re getting is relatively decent. However, I would have no reason to be nagged if this pack were simply the “CLAAS Equipment Collection” rather than carrying the “Platinum Edition/Expansion” title. True, CLAAS has never officially been in the Farming Simulator world prior to this pack, which does make it a milestone. That was a much more varied add-on pack, rather than this one that just focuses on adding new equipment from a single manufacturer. With that add-on, Farming Simulator 17 players were granted a whole new map, a collection of new vehicles/tools from a variety of manufacturers, and also a new crop that introduced a new farming type. The reason why I said I found this aspect of the Platinum Expansion nagging is due to how it pales in comparison to its predecessor, Farming Simulator 17 – Platinum. However, if you’re looking for something that will add a dramatic amount of depth to the existing Farming Simulator 19 experience, you’re not really going to find that here. If you’re a big fan of CLAAS (similar to how some folks were drooling over the inclusion of John Deere at launch), then this is very good news for you. There’s nothing particularly special about any of the CLAAS products in spite of their high quality. Thus, what’s really being offered is more ways to do what you’ve already been doing with other machines. Once you add in the cost of a header for the combine, and even basic tools for the tractor (seeder, sprayer, plow, etc.), you’ll be looking at well over 1 million dollars.Īs nice as each piece of new CLAAS equipment is, they’re all still just additions to existing categories. Thus, just these two machines on their own will cost $912,300. The Lexion 8900 isn’t too far off at $489,500. For instance, a fully-loaded Xerion 5000 will run you $422,800. Even just the initial costs of the high-tier machines are sizeable. Trying to do so the “normal” way is going to require you having a very profitable farm or a save file that you’ve been running with for several hours and thus money is no longer a big deal. I created a fresh save file so that I could only use the CLAAS-made products (where possible), but that required using a money mod. With there being a veritable army of CLAAS products in this pack, outfitting your entire farm with each and every one of them will easily run you into the millions (unless you plan on leasing). However, doing just so is going to be a very expensive undertaking. Thus, you can cover just about every crop except cotton with a piece of CLAAS equipment. The rest of the pack contains smaller combines like the Dominator, as well as Forage Harvesters like the Jaguar 960. The Lexion’s Convio 1230 series of headers also make quick work of fields both large and small due to their wide coverage. It didn’t take very long for the Lexion to grow on me as one of my favorite combines in the whole game due to its surprising high speed and very nimble maneuverability. I became mostly acquainted with the Lexion 8900. CLAAS’s massive combine harvesters were also done well in their transfer to the digital realm. ![]()
