Way of the Hunter VS Hunter call of the wild

[Van_Z]

Hello. Few questions before buying: as I saw in trailer, there is nothing new in hunting genre in this game, but for now it is also lack of content. Hunter call of the wild has +\- same graphics and much more content + frequent updates. So, what about way of hunter? Any cool features, more realistic animal behavior?

This whole woth vs cotw has been beaten to death already a dozen times.

There are a ton of threads already. Do a quick search and then prepare yourself for pages and pages of arguments.

Your very first assumption is already false. This game has a lot of unique mechanics and comparing its gameplay with CotW doesn't look good for the CotW.

It's not personal or anything, just after a while ppl get tired of repeating the same stuff over and over again ;)

Here's the TL;DR if you don't have time to read everything:

- Too much like CotW
- Not enough like CotW
- Exactly the same as CotW
- Too hard
- Not hard enough
- Too realistic
- Not realistic enough

The game also will not have any of the features you personally want it to have, but will also not need any of the features anyone else thinks it should have.

I think that about sums up the entirety of the forum comparisons.

Don't forget.

Tracking is too hard
Tracking is easy

There is only one statement to which everybody agrees - too much bugs.

COTW - Date of publication 2017
WOTH - Date of publication 2021
WOTH - better graphic engine
WOTH - younger engine - space for growth in DLC and updates
WOTH - super ballistic, I'm not sure about uphill and downhill shooting though. And the effect of gravity on the extension of MRD.
COTW - Easier tracking of game using unrealistic indicators and extreme inflation of tracks, marks, droppings, bite, blood or hair. You won't find that in real life. The new game is better at that, but harder.
COWT - management ammunition and shopping them (better economy in game)
WOTH - NO management ammo! This is big mistake! (I expected tuning of bullet weights, bullet technology (SPCE, TIG, TUG, TOG, TAG, SPBT, etc.) a portfolio of Norma, Hornady, RWS, Brenneke, etc. bullets.)
Both games contain weapon cleaning and the effect of a clogged weapon on reducing accuracy.
COTW IS the standard of this genre. I'm glad someone picked up the gauntlet and I hope this leads to product improvements on both development teams.
I really like the possibility of WOTH to push the difficulty to almost reality and the pressure on ethical hunting. If you want to practice shooting at the chamber, set the lowest difficulty level and the game will serve you animals that have just taken LSD, and you won't scare them away standing in a meadow 100m away. The breakdown of the anatomy of the intervention is more detailed than the COTW. Just progress and development. Hell, it's been 5 years since it came out.
It would be perfect to add something like "GAIM Compact" to the games WOTH and COTW as well.
- If you have a graphics card weaker than 2070, go to COTW, if you have a stronger one, buy both - WOTH and COTW

Where did you get this information from? There is nothing like that in any of the games.
