Game is misnamed, should be called the Monty Python Walking Simulator

[TheLegendOfDrunkenGamer]

An important thing to realize while playing this game is that no matter where you shoot, chances are that this game will glitch out and call it a Flesh Wound. Point blank shot to the vitals? ... Flesh Wound, hold the gun to the deers head and pull the trigger? ... Flesh Wound :) You can level your tracking all the way up and be able to see how much health the animal has ... down to 25% sweet! ... but ... no loss of stamina. So this is frustrating as hell! I tracked 2 elk, that I had followed for 3.48km AFTER the initial under 100 yard shot. I would stalk and get close enough to take another shot ... and ... you got it ... Flesh Wound! ... The Elk NEVER split up, stayed together, and between the 2 of them had taken 7 rounds to the vitals. After 3.48kms of following, they simply de-spawned ...

A "good shot" doesn't guarantee a drop. A perfect shot does - indicated by quick kill bonus, not number of metres travelled. Put simply, your alleged "double lung" killer shot is missing one ingredient for an instant kill - the heart.

I am not talking about instant kills - but vital hits where the animal is traveling for hundreds of meters... Not marked as flesh by the game...

In your comment you said "The bl**dy animal is still only having flesh wounds". I obviously misread you.

(...) or running for a mile after loosing vital organs and all of its blood (...)

The flesh wounds after good shot placement are another problem wich MIGHT be related to bad shooting on my side ;-) But it happened several times that deadly wounded animals (as described above) where running way to long distances - and I still think that needs more tweaking.

The animals we have to chase are bad shots, not bad code. Yes, there are corner cases, I accept (and expect) that, but if you're chasing regularly you need to seek a change in your shooting process, not in the code.

It may well be you're expecting certain outcomes due to a shooting preference and bad habits have crept in. eg: If you're always double lung and not heart, lower your scope a touch.

Better yet, try spine shots. If you ARE as accurate as you think you are, no more chasing - ever.

Everybody seems to be having a different experience, give it a few patches before stating things as gospel.

Who you talking to?

Everybody

Profound.

I'm certainly not arguing game is broke, and people can even argue that's the cause for "bad shooting". They just better hope EW doesn't "fix" it because when they do the excuses on offer are going to get a bit thin on the ground.

And here's me, just lost a potential Diamond Mythical Red on a night shoot that pulled a 788 with 20% consec' harvest and a 200m track with 0% quick kill.

Yep, I hit it badly, rushed shot. Damn game. Devs should fix it.

Hmm, my distant headshots have been fine so far. Haven't tried at close range.

Headshots are the worst when it comes to score, hunters don't go for the head if they want trophies.

I shot exactly 812 Animals in Classic, and yes I chased some of them due to bad shooting. But not the majority like in CotW. I dont care about short chases, thats why I prefer the double lung shot where the animal might run for 100m or so - fine with that.

In CotW the same "Blattschuss" shot placement results in way longer chases every time, but maybe just on my copy of the game if I read most of the comments correctly ;-)

You're still talking as though the game has no issues and everybody with one "must" be doing it wrong, except you of course ;)

Replies to a comment where I specifically say game is broken and ignores the point that I am making that "broken game" is not the issue when players get flesh wounds and have to track for 100's of metres.

Keep your sniping in game, not here.

Silky, don't bother. Some people always complain and some always argue. You can't make a comment that won't get sniped.

Funny thing, I was abled to play some hours with Patch 1.3 before the game crashed again (and again and again..)

Foxes and Roe where pretty easy pre patch 1.3, and were still dropping nearly instantly when hit by a .243 - no surprise there... But I encountered a gang of wild boars on Hirschfelden and where abled to shoot at 3 of them. Three well placed shots and SURPRISE ! They were going down within 20 - 100 meters when hit by a .270 Poly Tip through both lungs.

Hit a female Moose with the 7mm Mag later on, and chased it for 270 meters - shot only got through the shoulder blade and one lung due to bad angle when shooting. But it was NOT fleeing through a kilometer of undergrowth and hilly landscape after beeing hit by a high powered rifle...

That is what I was expecting in the first place after playing TheHunter for a year.

I just dropped 6 pigs on the spot at Bohdorf. 3 were more than 100kg for the mission I'm doing. Lost 100% on 7th pig to a 20m walk because I fluffed the shot. .270, poly tips. Hyperion scope.
