“ゲームは楽しいが、狩猟メカニクスに現実的でない部分がある”
我寻思有了车之后，就跟在猎物后面，效仿原始人类进行狩猎——累死猎物，没想到动物的体力是无限的，它能一直跑下去，这一点让我很不解，猎人难道就只能偷袭、一击必杀吗？ 我尝试很多种非常规玩法，比如在视野良好的平原地带追杀动物，开车堵截，下车喷子洗脸。 经常惊扰猎物，我发现有些不符合常理的情况，比如熊撞见鹿两边竟然相安无事。又或者猎物逃跑方向错乱，被惊扰后直直朝两脚兽的方向跑。 这些细节的缺失会让玩家意识到这款游戏并不是那么贴近现实。 常规玩法追踪脚印，主动靠近去猎杀。某些特定区域可以守株待兔，做好伪装后通过哨子吸引猎物靠近。但我还是更喜欢追逐猎物，而非等待猎物。 希望制作组给猎物上体力条，我会让它精疲力尽的死去。

总体来说还不错，只要前期撑过去就行，前期是真难受，不过陈列室的国旗能不能换换，换成中国的，在我自己的陈列室里看到美国国旗看着难受

“the landscape is so beautiful it almost makes you forget being outsmarted” (62)
Eu só queria um joguinho de paz, natureza, aquele clima de Pinterest. Entrei no The Hunter achando que ia tirar print bonito… cinco minutos depois tô no meio do mato, perdida, pisando em galho seco igual uma mula, espantando até passarinho animado. Os animais desse jogo têm mais maldade que muita gente que conheço. Eu miro, fico toda concentrada, respirando igual tutorial do YouTube… aí o veado olha pra mim, vira as costas e sai andando com a maior indiferença do mundo, tipo: ‘ai querida, treina mais um pouco, tá?’ Passei 30 minutos seguindo uma pegada achando que era expert. Era cocô. 30 minu
