Animal Spawns

[Ihateeverybody]

Is it me or are they insane?

I can't seem to loot the ones I already killed before another group spawns.

Wolves mostly but sometimes Bears and Cougars.

Wolves, Bears and Cougars. I am sure that could be a Netfix Series.

The game spawns more deadly animals according to how much loot you have in your satchel and how close you are to completing a challenge.

The more loot the more deadly spawns - This creates a risk reward system. Do you risk keep killing them to gather more loot which means more money, or do you run to town and cash in then save and come back? Because once you get on a roll, it’s hard to stop.

I have been killed many more times in this game, because of what we’re discussing than anything else, and that is why I use the no war horse mod. It adds excitement that using the war horse ruins. random spawns of aggressive animals can knock you off your regular 2 and 3 star horse, but not the OP (and no fun) war horse.

no that's always been how it worked out in this game, just like all those years ago I got absolutely suckered and completely caught off guard by it after having not played since like 2012, absolutely love when its wolves that are constantly spawning though, you walk away from that a very rich cowpoke!

The thing is, more spawns are not any more challenging. It only makes things more tedious. When I've killed the fifth bear in a 50 meter radius within 1–2 minutes, while kiting a pack of wolves, it's not like another pack of wolves and fifteen more bears are going to make perceivable difference besides wasting my time.

When you're always on your toes because you expect to see hostile animals around every stone, tree, and bush, they never catch you off guard either.

how dare they re-release a game with even/enemy spawn logic from 14 years ago... oh the travesty.

How dare I critique a game because it's 14 years old and it's a re-release. Oh, the travesty!

Honestly I don't recall it being this bad on the Xbox, if anything the other way, hard to find some spawns. Not wolves or Coyote's though.

Now though, Wolves and Bears seem to continuously spawn. Even with empty satchels.

Starting to wonder if its a CPU thing. The Timing Cycles or Multiple cores interacting with the original code.

criticize it all you want but please at least make them good criticisms and not just "oh they didn't implement modern spawn logic in a remaster"

I guarantee you had the spawns been left as they were on the 360 you'd be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and moaning that the world feels dead because nothing is ever happening.

I have literally never seen anyone complain that they needed to be paying attention to what is going on in the world around them before so they don't get snuck up on by a pack of coyotes or wolves, why yes indeed friend that certainly is an interesting "criticism."
not at all intelligently phrased or expressed, but interesting nonetheless!

Hey, I am going to unsubscribe because I don't feel there is a satisfactory answer. Not saying anyone is wrong or right, I just think there are a lot of factors for an accurate answer (Xbox 360 vs Modern Gaming Tech).

Thanks to all who answered. I just don't feel any ones response is "The" answer.

Feel free to continue discussing just please keep it within the Steam ToS.

Thanks again!

Acting as if modern tech is a relevant factor in animal spawns is a weird take, but at least it's original. Thanks for giving me a laugh after returning home from the holidays.

Was basing it off of previous experience with games moving from a 386 architecture to the Pentium Pro. Also if you have ever tried to get Saints Row 2 PC Port to work halfway decent you ALSO have to do things to throttle the CPU(s).

Its not that radical of an idea. Running older code on faster machines.

I was talking to the other joker who got his knickers in a twist, not you. Apologies for the confusion.

Ah my bad. Don't lose sleep over it.
