I noticed when playing John Deere American Farmer Deluxe and John Deere North American Farmer that despite what the manual says, the animals never die of old age (in both games). Now, that probably doesn't seem like much of a problem, but it really takes away from the challenge of the game (it would be like if in Halo you could kill anyone with one hit). I contacted customer support and they checked it out and confirmed that the animals don't die. They said that they'll fix it if they release another patch. However, these are older games so I don't know how likely it is that they actually will. I figured that if I could get some support from people who own the game they might be more inclined to release another patch- so please, voice your support here and if I get enough people I'll send it to them. They really are entertaining games, and are pretty much the only games of their genre. Thanks!

We all lose. It looks like it's a pretty intense and fun game.

Whoops! I didn't realize I accidentally wrote: "Would anybody who thinks they are funny please try to insult this game?" My mistake :) It's nice to have a game that isn't repeatedly blowing someone's head off thousands of times in a row. But guess none of you would understand that! Have fun pissing people off ;)

I think it's cool that you actually enjoy them. To each his own. It's something different. My point of view is this: Driving tractors and working on a farm is a good thing. I highly respect farmers. I've never been a farmer but I've driven tractors...and it's not exciting at all. People typically play video games for a thrill and something completely fantastical that they wouldn't experience in real life. Playing a video game that simulates working on a farm just doesn't sound fun to me. I work at a job in real life. It's a good job, but I would never want to play some simulation of what I do for a living. When I come home and decide to play a video game, it's more fun to kill dragons and blow demons' heads off with a shotgun than planting crops and driving a tractor.

Don't lump all of the users of this forum into the same pile as those that can be rude.

Think about it for a second. This is the PC, here. The PC library is so diverse that there's have a buttload of games that aren't about "repeatedly blowing someone's head off thousands of times in a row". That doesn't mean we have to settle for a low-budget, presumably low-quality, unknown game typically found in the bargain-bin of an Office Depot that adheres to that criteria. Games don't have to be mainstream or about shooting, but that doesn't make those games exempt from being awful or not worth playing.

I hope this gets fixed for you maximum411, and I do know a few other people who played this a while back. They seemed to like the game enough though I never tried it lol. Oh, and just try to ignore the rude ones. People with low self esteem find it necessary to put other people or their preferences down to make themselves feel better.

I think it's funny that you got pissed off over such a harmless comment. I didn't say the game was stupid, I just know the community on this board and I would find it extremely unlikely that anyone would have played the game. Welcome to the internet, it would benefit you to chill out a little.

I understand your point of view. However, I don't think a game always has to be extraordinary or fantastical to be good or even popular; the Sims was the most popular PC game at one point and that's mainly making people go to work and using the bathroom. Nonetheless, me and millions of other gamers enjoyed it. I get if you don't find farming interesting, but it does happen to be one of my interests, so I like playing a game where I can farm.

Well obviously I must think it's worth playing or I wouldn't be playing it! I suggest that if you think it's garbage, then you not post in threads specifically addressed to those who do play it.

Thanks- I think it's an amusing game. It just annoyed me that I made the title so clear, precisely for the purpose of avoiding people who would post comments like those, and people still came on and insulted the game. But you're right, those kinds of people are everywhere and it's no use getting upset about it.

kodyoo: I was just a little annoyed that you posted that you didn't think anyone played the game in a thread explicitly aimed at people who had. And isn't it a little ironic that you came back to my thread, read through my response, and then decided you had to post a comeback? And you're telling me to chill out? Please stop posting in this thread and try to be more constructive in the future.

The fact that its a forum means that people are going to come in and post in a thread whether it relates to them or not. As a side note play the better game Farming Simulator Gold. Played the demo for it and thought it was ok. Really not my kind of game though. Harvest moon and Rune Factory are better games IMO.

New Trolls are an Italian progressive rock band, known for their fusion of rock and cl@ssical music. Their history is filled with line-up changes, band name changes and struggles between band members.

I can post whatever I want, I don't need you to moderate me. I think you are being a little aggressive over something stupid.

Feel free to do the same in any thread, this is an open community, not communist state that restricts what you can and can't say and when/where.

Get over it.

Well I personally would not post in a thread unless I had something constructive to say, but I realize not everyone is like that. I will check out that game though, thanks :)

I kind of expected you'd say something like that. I'm not forcing you to do anything, just asking you to be a decent person. If you would rather not be then there's nothing I can really do about that.

I understand where you're coming from. Different strokes for different folks. Sorry if I came off like a jerk when I was making fun of the game. I'm just a smart @ss. Take it with a grain of salt. :)

I didn't even know they had such a game. I don't even see why they'd have support for the 15 people who actually bought it. I can see how giving animals infinite lifespan would be pretty lame though.
