LGR - Saitek Farming Simulator Controller Review

I hope to do so once I get one!

LGR

I use FCEUX. Great compatibility and lots of lovely features.

LGR

Totally in agreement with the summary: The control panel looks amazing for a whole lot of different scenarios, especially with the multi-axis rotary-joystick-knob, but the wheel and pedals look cheap as dirt. If it were half the price, I'd see the value in it, but at $300 USD and not even coming with the game, it doesn't seem like a great value to me. An aside, I see you run your NES emulator in integer scale mode for precision pixel peeping. What emulator are you using that colours the borders according to the overscan?

If you're doing new oddware, you should do a Steam controller video!

Robert Launder

That was really fun to watch lol, especially you playing Mario 3.

Might have to get just the panel at some point. I just genuinely like odd and/or specific controllers, like the Gamecube one with a keyboard in it or one-handed controllers.

I love elaborate controllers that help immerse players into a game, but $300 for one with that level of build quality seems a bit on the high side... $200 seems closer to the right price point.

It's fixed now, just reuploading

LGR

Reuploading a fixed version, thanks!

LGR

Doom will never be the same again

Audio corrupts at the end. Great video, but it might murder some headphone users.

Clint, the sound breaks at 14:34 into loud static. Might need to resubmit this video.

Razumi Yazura

Oh boy, what is that horribled tv snowflakes sound at the end? I prefer your south accented voice much better.

Sabrina

My man!

LGR

Haha, it comes entirely too naturally, too

LGR

We'll go with genius, I like the sound of that

LGR

Awesome, glad you thought so! And yeah, Fallout 4 is calling me...

LGR

Exactly, I REALLY want that

LGR

My family has a farm and uh... nah, I'll stick with my games ;)

LGR

It really is, I love that

LGR

When you get this far into your Farming Simulator addiction, you might as well just open your own farm.

The suicide knob on that thing is a great touch.

Michael Lamartina

Man, how good would this be on Oculus Rift if you could get all the buttons in the correct place?

a3HeadedMonkey

I don't know how you did it, but in this video, your nerd levels were the highest I've ever seen them... and that's saying something! But it was fun to watch because you were having so much fun. :) And speaking of fun, I'm guessing we won't be seeing you for a while due to Fallout 4. :P Thanks for the video, though!!

Lindsay Michelle

I love that there'll actually be a market for this kind of specialised equipment again. Sure, it's for a game that I'm really into - but there's plenty of folk who'll appreciate it. I was laughing at you trying Doom with it… but then Mario 3? Cripes. Masterstroke of genius, or madness? I'm not sure yet :)

Rob Caporetto

We really need more Country Bumpkin Clint.

This looks great. I have a friend who is obsessed with this game, so if it goes on sale he may get it. But yeah, I was also thinking it could probably be made with a wheel/pedals and a flight sim controller. If someone has a recommendation, let me know.

Joseph Coco

A sim controller made for the purpose of farming? That's the sort of frivolous insanity I can get behind. :D

The Enforcer

So it's a relatively-expensive cheap-feeling steering setup.. great.. err nope

Farming Simulator has a pretty involved lawnmowing aspect to it! While crops are growing, you can run a lawnmowing business on the side. It's pretty involved, for what is essentially a side quest. Beyond that, I know there are some indie games about mowing lawns :)

LGR

How come there isn't a Mowing simulator? I mow at a Golf Course and I would love to play a game where you can use different mowers in different areas...

Douglas Holmes

You mean manure.

Boomtown Fox

I played the SHIT out of Farming Sim 2013
