The Hunter: COTW is on sale at 70% till the 30th...
Steam store The Hunter COTW

Beautiful game and relaxing walking sim too. Play loop is fun aswell.

Got 13hrs. in since I bought it two days ago. Bought some DLC´s too, and also Installed The Hunter: Classic, although this one is more grindy and a bit P2W, but you can do same without real cash, just grind more!

Very relaxing which is what I need right now.

Anyone playing these?

I did dabble with COTW and enjoyed it far more than I thought.

I wasn't particularly good at the hunting so for me it was more of a walking simulator with beautiful surroundings.

It definitely has a learning curve, but I rather have it that way to be honest. Hunting is not easy, so it makes sense that one has to learn as he/she goes along. If the game was easy, it would not be a hunting game.

Make sure you spot needing, feeding and resting zones. Also pressure zones (violet color) is added by killing more then 4 animals in the same zone, that will scare them away for sure. Pressure zones rotate in time, so jump (fast travel from cabin) from one zone to another. Hunting at feeding/drinking zones from 5:00 to 9:00am for whitetails is a good option for example. Check your range, until you unlock zero-in, your rifle will be set to 150m, from there expect bullet drop.

This guy has some good videos on the topic...

I picked this up in the sale and have put too many hours in since then.

It's very relaxing and I find I get much more out of the game just sneaking around quiet as possible. Even on my old system I have settings at max and it really does look gorgeous.

Relaxing you say Vitesse? There I was carrying out the mission to investigate the trashed camp when I heard a bear. I'm gonna shoot that bear dead and have him stuffed.

Oh there he is in that bush. Now it's charging me. Raises rifle,picks point on head which by now practically fills the scope and....click. Rifle's not loaded. Ha ha,he got me,I reload and fire. It's a miss but he's had enough and scarpered back to Mrs Bear.

I assume that damage isn't modelled,as although the screen went red I seemed to have suffered no injuries. That's the first time anything has gone for me. Nature be scary.

Damage is modelled, you have a yellow bar with a plus sign on the left on your hud that depletes as you take damage. That´s why you can also buy first-aid kits in store, to restore you´re health.

I got ambushed by a Moose while I was tracking him/her, all of a sudden he charged at me out of a bush! Same, screen went red and then I notice the green bar was half depleted.

Maybe you didn´t take enough damage for you to notice Chucky. Wolfs will also gang up on you and attack you, so be aware of them too. Handguns works great for that.

Great solo game really, once you get the hang of it. thumbsup

I like watching others play, you learn something along too.

Besides, I like bow hunting in this game...

I don't play this game, although I bought it for my son on XBox. I have a .243 and it's my favorite rifle. Nice, flat trajectory. It's a good deer cartridge, but I wouldn't hunt bear with it. Not sure how that translates in the game. .243 is a varmint or medium sized game round in my view.

For bear I'd want at least a .30-.30, .30-06, .308 or .338. Bigger is better with bear I reckon. A .270 is a smaller caliber but packs a heavy punch. That should work well too.

Did some pretty good hunting today.

Made 11k, leveled up to 9, got my first gold, and bought the Hyperion scope, I also unlocked both zero-in perks, and restocked on ammo. My first day with the M1 Garand which has a killer punch that drops most game down in one well placed shot, but has a bit to much recoil for my liking, it also scares the crap out of me each time I fire it, darn thing got a BANG! biggrin

I´ll save it for bigger game. Went back to the Eckers .30-06 (with the Polymer tip ammo) which I really like.

Sorry I deleted it to re-write it but got sidetracked.

You have agreed what I thought though. The rabbit I shot with the .243 dropped on the spot. A deer I shot yesterday,and I thought it was a well placed shot ran off and although I found a blood spot failed to find a trail. I know it's not real but I really wanted to find it.

I have also lost some tracks, and yes it does bother one a bit when that happens. Iam using the Virant .22LR for wabits. I find them alot better at night.

I was going to do some sort of AAR but I decided that I'm not good enough at the game yet.

I find that the more one plays this game, the better one gets. For example, since night hunting can be a bit of a challenge in this game (as a nob), and the only way to advance time is to rest in a lodge, which in turn cost money, then in order to do something with that time, I spend that time unlocking outpost, lookouts and mostely finding need zones, along with feeding and drinking zones. While I do that, I always find something to hunt on the way, so overall it´s well time applied to hunting, being it day or night.

Now that some of those zones are reveled by my previous work, I can now dedicate my time to travel to those zones, and once there either stalk, or wait for my pray to show up. You do have to watch what are the good times of those zones (mouse over them). This tactic helped me alot yesterday, in return had a good hunting day/night yesterday, well almost...

While I was waiting for game to show up in one of the zones, I spotted a black bear, I was still, hidden in the brush and had my bow out, as that dosent alarm any neraby animals. The bear didn´t notice me, or at least that´s what I thought, he was then walking head on towards me and I was hesitating to shot him in the cheast with a medium grain arrow, he was then about 15mt. from me, while I was hesitating, he then spotted me and decided to rush at me, thus red screen! He left me with half my health bar depleted, and aside from that scaring the #%&*$# out of me! So decision are somtimes crucial in this game, which makes it all the better. I don´t think a cheast shot would have avoided the head-on rush to be honest.

Maybe I will. Like I said we have the game in our house. When I was younger I was a hunter. I grew up around firearms, my dad was an avid hunter and it was something we did together. Mostly small game, upland bird and deer. He passed away when I was a teenager, and with it my love of hunting died too. I decided I no longer wanted to kill these beautiful animals, and haven't done so since. I still have all of the weapons, quite a list too.

While I decided to stop, I missed everything else that went along with it. The 'woodsmanship', stalking, tracking, reading signs. Shooting trap, zeroing scopes on the firing range. I even learned to hand load my ammunition. Just being in the forest or on the mountain was wonderful. I actually thought about doing some wildlife photography, as I reasoned it would be just like hunting, but the shot was non-lethal. But I never did it.

Yeah, maybe this game would be a good substitute for this? I did the tutorial with my son, but we struggled with the tracking and finally gave up. Maybe if I could get past that in to the game proper it would be fun. But at the moment I am hunting ships in the North Atlantic, and doing the same in space with Elite. Maybe Chucky's AAR will be the thing that puts me over the top smile

I fully understand what you mean Bond. For one, Iam going through my moms death three weeks ago due to the virus. I say this because I cannot think of shooting anything which has to do with human life, be it pixel or cardboard, it may sound silly but that´s how I feel. Same thing happend to me two years ago when my dad passed away.

On the other hand, I have always been a nature guy, I just love nature and have done all the hight´s summits here in the north of Spain, and have done alot of solo hiking too. With that said you could understand that I don´t like killing animals either. Sure I had a BB gun when I was young, but things change as one grows up.

I´ve had COTW on my radar for quite some time, but again killing animals is not my thing. But recently I though to my self, hey there not real, and needed something to keep my mind out of reality. While I do feel bad at times shooting a bear I have stalked for half an hour, I do get over it. This game is helping me get over things, and I think it´s a beautiful game, especially for solo play, although there´s MP and folks seem to have fun with that too. I just can´t take the BS that MP has sometimes in my state, so I ignore that aspect of the game for now.

You like stealth games, so I really think you will like this.

If you do so, make sure to add your 2 first skill points to stalking, the second point will let you see tracks further then usual (IIRC) which is a good thing.

Nice post mate, and I'm sorry for your loss. I know that games can give you an escape and can help you deal with the loss.

Shooting virtual animals I have no problem with, but I can understand how you feel. One of you guys should do an AAR about one of your trips in to the woods.

Thanks for the tip. Yeah, I reckon I'd like it once I was in free-roam or whatever it might be called. Stalking's what I do right? biggrin


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Well I don't know if it's humane or not but my first black bear succumbed to both barrels of my shotgun. 19% and 100%. I assume that the percentage means the higher the % the deadlier the shot? He shook off the first shot but went down right in front of me from the second. This was at night with my torch on. Scary stuff.

100% is the integrity of the shot.

Head torch dosent scare them away, as in real life. If you don´t turn your torch on at night, you wont see the track either.

I spent a few years up in AK awhile back, during the summer ( June and July ) my wife and I used to get blueberries from a patch 100 miles from the Arctic Circle. I carried a 357 revolver for protection. It was there that I saw my 1st Bear albeit at a great distance looking down into a valley. The only thing that I could think was better get a bigger Gun. P.S. I never went back to that Barrie patch or wanted any more Blueberries.

LOL I can Imagen, I would think like wise biggrin I do Bushcraft in my area, but no bears around, just wild hogs that do scare the crap out of me at times when not expected!

Nevertheless, The Hunter is a fun and relaxing game, a bear can still scare you though, or other wildlife in the game.

I know it's a great time to buy,I have about half a dozen CoW items in my wishlist but I've moved on to other stuff. I might pick up another weapons pack. I have the Smoking Barrels DLC that included that awesome .50 musket thingy. I'm pretty sure that nearly everything I've hit with it has just dropped cool

I think all four weapon packs are great, and the High-Tech Hunting pack too, but if I was to buy just one, it would be the weapons pack 3 with it´s Eckers .30-06, and the Vasquez Cyclone .45. Next would be the weapons pack 2, with it´s Solokhin MN1819, and the three barrel Grelck Drilling. Not much into handguns yet.

My kit is usually the Eckers .30-06 (weapon pack 3), the Virant .22 (weapon pack 1) for small game, and a bow, forgot which one.

I have about +50hrs. of gameplay and I still have half of one of the default maps to uncover! It´s well worth the asking price, even more, I would go for the 2019 edition with all the extra content it comes with if I was a first time buyer.
