Is this just a game for people who enjoy shooting animals?

[Anger Manager]

The game looks visually very good, but don't think I'd enjoy shooting animals 'as a game'. No need to expand on that, as sure everybody gets my point.

Are there any other game features that would appeal, that don't necessarily involve the above, such as missions, story line etc?

Cheers.

Nope. The main point is to hunt animals. There are some missions which is to do a photo, but these are rare and between hunting missions.

You can walk/hiking around. Look for outposts and watchtowers. Get to point of interest, which tells you a bit about the area.

Well ...its a game.

These are obviously no real animals.
You should clearly seperate Real Hunting from A Videogame.

Whenever you shoot 1 Animal in the game there will be one animal that spawns on the map somewhere.

not true, a loot of players just walk and take landscape and/or animals photos

If your thing is hiking or enjoying the outdoors, you will like what you see.

No, not a game for people who enjoy shooting animals, I'm a vegetarian. It's a game o.O. Maybe a game for people who enjoy shooting games. Also, no I don't get your point, no need to elaborate further. Well deserved awards Timamu.

I would love to shoot Trolls, Bigfoots, Werwolfs, Giant Spiders, Creatures from the Black Lagoonetc. This game needs a Classic Monster DLC.

I have an idea for you. You buy a dog DLC and go for a walk with the dog. You can practice with him, you can praise him, you can pet him and play with him.

Mine is called Orwell.

Can I shoot him & put his head above the mantelpiece too?
I'm amused at how offended some are on here ha ha. Thanks for the insight.

That was my thought process. I like a lot of the scenic games, as they're uplifting environments to chill in. The hunting thing isn't my cup of tea, even virtually, but each to their own as they say, hence why I wondered if there was more to the game. All the best.

Nobody loves animals more than my wife does. She would never hurt one. But she has put hundreds of hours into this game over the last few years with thousands of kills and even a few diamonds. She saw me play and got drawn in by the scenery. She's able to separate the game world from reality, so it was never an issue. You should give it a try- there's a lot of fun to be had.

Then you should get the base game when it goes on sale (~5$) and the tents dlc so that you can resume traveling from your last position. Base game offers two large and excellent reserves for hiking, exploring them on foot takes dozens of hours. Weather is dynamic and you can hike any time of day/night. Also the sales price is very low so you can't go wrong even if you ditch the game quickly.

You do not have to hunt. The game has amazing visuals and you have a camera. I sometimes climb to the top of a mountain at sunrise to take panorama s with the camera. Sneaking up on animals to get close up photos is a lot of fun as well.

The points of interest have some interesting stories attached, so going to all of the POI could be fun.

Hunting it the main focus, but you could always hunt with your camera.
