Possibly the worse game in the history of games, just horrible.

[WhiteHaulerMan]

99% of the idiots who either hype this type of game or feel the need to pass childish and gleeful commentary surrounding the comparisons between real life and a computer game have never hunted nor killed anything larger than a wasp....nor are they ever likely to. Thankfully, most countries have sufficient gun laws to prevent them from ever doing so.

Regardless of the fire (pun intended) I'm going to receive, I'll say I've shot most of my life, and have played this and quite like it (although as you say, its nothing like the real thing).

Its a slower paced game more akin to hunting a lone merchant in a WW2 U-Boat sim like Silent Hunter 3 as you stalk your target, get into a good position and then deliver the killing blow. Much like with them, a 'kill' is quite satisfying in terms of the payoff for time invested

My issue with the game is that it does not promote responsible hunting, instead it allows players to kill as many animals as they find. If it is breathing, kill it, that is the message. It seems to bring the worse out of the players. In any case, I do not support killing anything, unless you are going to eat it, but that is just me, and probably not a popular way of looking at things right now. Who knows, maybe in a few decades, someone might call a monster for actually eating an animal, the world is changing as it always has.

I don't think youve played this game. It does, in a subtle way without beating you over the head with a heavy handed moral message.

In the first, a 'Kill' creates something they call hunting pressure, reducing the animals willingness to be in the same area youve just blatted one. Do it enough times and it removes any 'needs zones' (like watering, feed or rest) in the area, meaning you need to spend a while searching for another.

Secondly, indiscriminate killing reduces the quality and number of spawns of animals and herds that you get. I see this when I play on other peoples maps vs my own.
