Indeed, that is gorgeous.

I tried to play the previus version of the game but just could not make myself to shoot animals.

Is this the same 'The Hunter' that you used to have to pay a monthly fee to shoot certain animals? I did enjoy that for a while,but like Cheyenne I found shooting them difficult after a while.Not that I shot many,I was rubbish at tracking. It was a lovely looking game back then,I'm sure it's improved a lot.

Yeah, same series, but new game on a new engine and thankfully not free to play.

Nice! They sure have come a long way since the last hunting game I owned. I think Deer Hunter??

Indeed, I would only use it to walk around and enjoy the sight. Now, if a mod comes and changes the wildlife into IS militants...

Try it anyway and just tell yourself, "If the deer runs, it's an IS militant. If it stands still, it's a highly disciplined IS militant."

Though from the looks of it, it might just be enjoyable just to stroll though.

I watched a video of it. It looks cool but limited in some ways. You can only used stands in pre-determined locations that you "buy" with resources. It's got lots of achievements and when you shoot an animal, glowing green markers helped you find it.

I'm assuming you can turn off all the helper stuff and play it for real. If so, then it should be pretty good. The old version of this game was limited to only shooting 300 yards. This apparently has lifted that so you can take some longer shots on game.

i only breifly glanced at the settings bit but from what i can remember you can turn off a great deal of stuff.

Its still a bit buggy, but its still enjoyable, and it does look fantastic .. though the water can look a bit iffy at times.

Also, dont belive the FAQ bit about 21:9 monitors, whilst you can play the game just fine, the HUD icons are stretched and you cant see most of them, the menus all work fine though.

Previous version was limited to around 220m render distance, Call of the Wild is around 450m, it is very beautiful and runs well on my ancient PC.

One thing I noticed that slows it down is when you have lots and lots of tracking marks on your Huntermate/PDA. I was tracking a moose I had shot and missed the vitals, man it led me a merry dance, tracked it for a couple of hours and harvested a few 'yotes and Blacktails along the way but when the moose had finally made a full circle back around onto it's own trail from 2 hours previous and started following it again I gave up on it just too many dots on the screen.

So far only had one crash and that was after the 1.1 update yesterday, the hotfix this morning seems to have fixed a few of the item unlock bugs too.

I notice that the text on the right hand side of the screen goes beyond the 1920x1080 screen area when you are in the menus, it is maybe only around 1/2 a character I'm loosing but it is annoying.

I'd just like to retract what i said earlier, the latest patch fixed the 21:9 issues (at least it did for me) whoohoo

Wow, it looks amazing. Exactly like the forests it was modeled after. I looked into the predecessor one time because I'm a sucker for environmental eye candy but I couldn't get into their business model. I just bought this rather. Price point is what Steep should have been for this type of experience.

Shame this is a console port and will never be a true simulation PC players have been beta testing ( after paying full price) a rough port for the last 6 weeks, the list of bugs in this game is beyond belief.

Animal AI is retarded, they haven't even got round to balancing the sounds or providing 3D positioning yet, is nice to look at but that's about it.

Im skeptical to buy anything from them. I got the original hunter in an unlimited package (when it went beta) but they sold the company to someone else who didnt redeem previous licenses so I lost my game. Still played a lot of the original hunter. Then they came out with The Hunter: Primal which was a full game hunter with dinosaurs but they abandoned the game weeks after release so they could come up with this new The Hunter game... I have no faith they will stick with it and make it into a good game.

MP hunting is really fun though in the original The Hunter.
