Cowboy Life Simulator

I really liked this game and it had a TON of potential. However the developers gave us no option to do any landscaping and they have put bushes and crap everywhere. Some of us want to clean our areas up a bit. A few clever people found a work around, which the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Devs patched right away. For them to block something that most people want for absolutely no reason shows exactly how the Devs feel about the community. I will never play this game again or recommend it until the get their head out of their asses.

This game is circling the drain just like my farm ... I have built everything laying out thousands of dollars and my farm is just slowly failing because everything in the game is set to rip you off. Everything you do is at a loss. The animals eat way more than they produce the crops require way more than they produce ...the sprinklers have now completely stopped even functioning . Before they would turn on for 5 seconds then turn off now they don't even turn on. The animals all eat way too much food and give you next to nothing. The iron is a joke ... just seems like another greedy dev balance to try to make a game look longer than it is. I have played like 29 hours and have realized I have been led down the garden path by another bunch of so called developers. Come on you get a free $200 that should tell you something , and you get money from doing all the mailbox quests and you are still thousands in the red ....what a joke.

[h1]A conditional recommendation made obsolete by the engine switch[/h1] This game is a strange blend of an adventure game with combat sequences and a farming simulator (though it barely qualifies as one). Under certain conditions, it used to be worth a recommendation—especially since it ran surprisingly stable even on older hardware. However, the recent switch to the Unreal Engine has drastically changed the situation. [h1]The Gameplay at a Glance:[/h1] [list] [*] [b]The Farming:[/b] A very slow, monotonous grind heavily relying on manual work. It lacks convenience features and work animals. According to clear in-game indicators, workers and other announced features are not planned for Early Access, but rather for post-release. Whether there is even room for them in the current game loop remains questionable. [*] [b]The Story:[/b] An adventure questline with a number of sidequests. It is not a big-scale adventure, but it is okay, and some of the quests are nicely written or surprisingly curious. The map is compact*, but sufficient for this type of game. *its annouced that they working on bigger extensions to the map. [*] [b]The Combat:[/b] Bandits and combat encounters are limited to certain spots. They are repetitive and quickly become easy once you upgrade your guns. If you are looking for action or a challenge, this is not your game. However, since losing does little harm, even players who dislike combat can live with it. [*] [b]The World:[/b] There are some nice easter eggs, but the NPCs and town life feel barebones and shallow. [/list] [h1]The Technical Regression:[/h1] At the time of purchase, the minimum requirements felt lower. Before the update, the game ran on my aged, low-end PC at a solid 30 to 55 FPS. The engine switch has degraded performance without offering any noticeable visual benefit: [list] [*] [b]Framerate Drops and Spikes:[/b] My normal framerate maxes out at 22–24 FPS now, with regular spikes dropping down to around 10 FPS. There are also clear new performance losses around an expanded farm area that were not present before. In the newly opened map region, performance is generally below the norm, and I have even seen extreme, occasional drops down to 1–4 FPS there. [*] [b]High CPU Load & Architecture Issues:[/b] My GPU hovers below 70% load, while my old 4-core CPU shows high load and high temperatures. The source of these new issues is clearly CPU-bound. Furthermore, the game has long suffered from persistent item-duping bugs. It seems the inventory system treats every single item as a fully instantiated world object/class rather than using a performant data list—a design choice that likely compounds the heavy performance toll under the new engine version. [*] [b]High RAM Usage:[/b] My RAM load is permanently above 11 GB. Since the Steam store officially lists 8 GB of RAM as the minimum requirement, I view this critically. While it is unclear how the game handles memory management on actual 8 GB systems, having 16 GB ready seems recommended to be safe. [*] [b]New Bugs & Glitches:[/b] Since the engine update, field tiles sometimes fail to load properly. These plots visually disappear, allowing you to accidentally build over them. Once the original tile reloads later, they overlap, creating severe glitches. Additionally, invisible barriers even on roads and other "open spaces" suddenly block movement for no reason, and inventory bugs have multiplied. It also remains questionable how long DirectX 11 will still be supported in this engine version. [/list] [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] What used to be a conditional "Yes" has now turned into a [b]"Wait it out"[/b]. Continuing the roadmap without addressing these self-made performance and architectural issues as a priority will lead to a ruined experience. Anyone running an older system should steer clear of the game for now. [b]This review will be updated if the situation changes and improves.[/b]

When i first bought this game i had a lot of fun. The roadmap looked promising and the dev team was holding to it. How wrong i was. The game is full of glitches, the april update didnt even come out until mid may and that was the last content update. The devs had extremely poor communication about the delay and then when the delayed update was delayed again they hide that update in the comments of a post. They are now making a new roadmap because they bit off more than they could chew. I would get a refund on this game if i could

Ce jeu est très captivant, agréable et plaisant à jouer ! Les différentes quêtes sont drôles et j'ai hâte d'avoir accès à la suite de l'histoire ! La gestion du ranch est prenante, il y a toujours un tas de chose à faire. J'aime pouvoir gérer les différentes caractéristique de mes animaux. Les bugs que j'ai rencontré ont été très vite supprimés. Continuez comme ça les dev ! ça fait plaisir d'avoir un bon jeu auquel jouer !

Ein feines Game bei dem sofort richtiges Wild West Feeling aufkommt. Auf den ersten Blick sieht es eher schlicht aus, aber das Game hat es in sich. Der Schwerpunkt liegt natürlich auf dem Aufbau der eigenen Farm. Hier hat man viele Möglichkeiten, kommt aber letztlich nicht um Landwirtschaft UND Viehhaltung herum. Das kann schon mal in Arbeit ausarten, aber welche Farm kommt schon ohne Arbeit aus. Von der Erstellung der Felder, Bewässerung bis hin zur Auswahl der reichlichen Pflanzenarten, die für die eigene Nahrung, aber auch für die Tiere gebraucht wird, ist alles mögliche dabei. Auch die Möglichkeiten aus den Pflanzen etwas essbares zu machen, ist vom Lagerfeuer bis hin zum Küchenherd gegeben. Hier spielt der eigene "Hunger" sowie "Durst" eine Rolle und unterscheidet sich je nach einem der vielen Gerichte. Aber nicht nur Nahrung wird in der Küche gemacht, sondern auch Fett, welches für die Gerberei gebraucht wird, oder Melasse aus Zuckerrohr, welche eine wertvolle Handelsware ist. Was mich zur Produktion bringt. Die Produktionsketten sind überschaubar und einfach gehalten. Man fälle einen Baum, zersäge die Stämme in Bretter und mach etwas daraus. Aber auch Eisenerz kann abgebaut werden, welches weiterverarbeitet und für Gebäude und die Werkzeugherstellung gebraucht wird. Spätestens beim Gebäudebau, die Möglichkeiten sind jetzt schon umfangreich, wird klar welches Potential noch in dem Spiel steckt. Einige Gebäude sind bereit abgebildet, aber in der EA noch nicht vorhanden. Die Umgebung ist absolut stimmig. So lockt es doch immer wieder einfach mal aufs Pferd zu steigen (das Beste im ganzen Westen ;D ) und die Umgebung zu erkunden. Und zu sehen gibt es viel...aber ich spoiler nicht. Nahezu alles in der Natur kann verwendet werden. Bäume für Holz, Steinvorsprünge für...naja....Stein....es wächst wildes Gemüse und Hitsche und Wildschweine können für Fleisch und Leder gejagt werden. Ja, auch Banditen können einem den Tagesausflug vermiesen, aber diese sind (noch) relativ harmlos. Zu den Quests: Die Kernstory dreht sich um die kleine Stadt und ihren Wassermangel. Auch hierzu will ich nichts verraten, ausser, das man damit schonmal ca 50 Stunden beschäftigt ist. Sidequests sind nützlich, müssen aber nicht gemacht werden. Alle quests, mit Ausnahme der "Geisterjagd" passen sehr gut in das gesamte Wild West Scenario und sind nicht übermässig schwer. Es bleibt dem Spieler überlassen, ob er questet, oder sich nur um seine Farm kümmert....oder wann welcher Quest gemacht wird. Zeitdruck gibt es nur in wenigen nicht wirklich wichtigen Fällen. Last not least.... Die Steuerung ist bocksimpel und es braucht nur wenige Tasten um das Game zu beherrschen....sehr angenehm. Auch das Tutorial erklärt kurz und schnell, wie alles funktioniert, was den spieleinstieg selbst für 5-Jährige einfach machen sollte. Der Sound ist ok, die Musik stimmig und nervt auch nach Stunden nicht. Mein Fazit: Wer auf Wild West Games steht, der kommt am Cowboy Life Simulator nicht vorbei. Es ist eine herrliche Aufbausimulation mit gut gelungenem Westernflair. Das Potential ist noch riesig, aber es funktioniert auch schon überraschend viel. Natürlich ist es EA und es gibt noch zahlreiche Bugs. Gamebreaker sind mir dabei aber nicht unter gekommen. Ausserdem wird fleissig weiter entwickelt...und die Roadmap lässt noch viel erwarten. Alles in allem....klare Kaufempfehlung für (jetzt schon) viele Stunden Spielspass.

Zamanın nasıl aktığını anlamıyorsunuz. Bir takım buglar mevcut ama çözülemiyecek şekilde değil. Oyun bildiğiniz cowboy simulatör tarzında değil daha çok çiftlik sahibi bir adamın hayatını anlatan hikayeli bir yapısı mevcut. Açık dünya haritası oldukça geniş ve dilediğiniz gibi gezip gelişip NPCler ile etkileşim kurabiliyorsunuz. Oyunda ışınlanma olayı biraz sıkıntı her yere ışınlanamıyorsunuz, belli başlı noktalar var. Bug nedenli bir yere sıkıştıysanız oyunu kaydedip oyundan çıkıp tekrar girmeniz lazım. Oyunu Yükle butonu koymamışlar. Kısacası 18 saatin nasıl geçtiğini anlamadığım bir serüven oldu benim için, tavsiye ederim

Performance is absolutly horrible. my PC specs meet or exceed the recommended, I can't imagine trying to play on the posted minimums I was getting stuttering the graphics and other settings menues. I got video freezes in the intro cutscence it seemed like at points part of the game unloaded and reloaded? like everything froze, all the textures went flat, 30s later it loaded back in. Watching task manager on my other monitor I see the game averaging around 4GB of ram use, and it will randomly spike to like 6, lag a bunch, then drop back to 4 and run normally for a bit. No way I'm gonna try to deal with this for a game I was on the fence about, I don't even know if the gameplay is any good as all I have done before getting too frustrated to play is yell at some animals

什么玩意，修了一年还没修好吗？和那个轮椅夫人对话叫我帮找裙子对完话就和以前一样卡在那退也退不出去只能强制关闭游戏

I just love simulator's in general. Just make's things even more amazing as always.
