Score changed to wait due to a very odd but incredibly frustrating bug. That and the other smaller things just don't come together well even at a lower price

Changed score to wait. Sadly at hour 43 the game had a game killing bug and I can pretty much recreate it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmaaw49qZbeog9I.html There is a very odd binoc bug that jiggles when your in sloped spots. So be warned of that. Only got it twice but it sucks and I informed the dev of that and one other one. Also you want a challenge?

@@connorkenway09 Absolutely. The rifle in Jurassic Park 2 would have drilled right through its skull. The rifles in Jurassic Park 3 were even bigger--Barret .50 bmg's. They were specially designed in the 80's to be shot over the shoulder like an RPG to engage helicopters. A .50 bmg--particularly an AP or a MK211 round--would shoot through its head and come out its ass. The Jurassic Park movies have LONG portrayed modern weaponry in a completely false light. Which is understandable of course, because otherwise they would be really short movies.

Eric trump the T. rex Hunter! 😂
THIS is what I love. When a game that normally wouldn’t be on my radar suddenly gets added to my wishlist because of a great review. I’m not a hunter, I went and got an 8 point was I was about 14, but the sitting and waiting all day snd nothing happens just didn’t appeal to me. This game on the other hand seems pretty cool, and I’m going to have to check it out eventually. It sounds like a realistic sim, but not so realistic that you play for ten hours and never see anything (if you’re taking it seriously, and not just blasting “Fred Bear” while driving around the woods in your Willys Jeep). Great review ACG!

One thing he didn't mention is the game will have difficulty settings going from newbie to ultimate hunting sim. It changes the animal alertness levels, information it gives you on the animal etc and that sounds so much better because it would appeal to both newcomers and veteran hunters.

@@connorkenway09 he did say that it’s a game that requires you to get good at it. So I’m guessing no difficulty settings. But he also mentioned the hunters vision. Which I assume makes tracking easier. And is there if you require it. I’m going in a total newbie to all things hunting. So I’ll take whatever help the game offers to start with 😂

@@mclovinirishthere is difficulty settings. It's possible he didn't even find them if he never made it past the tutorial and clicked "choose territory". It ranges from absolutely nonchalant animals to psychotic paranoid so you get to choose your challenge level. Highest difficulty removes the hunter vision so you need to apply all the knowledge that the game gives you of everything hunting. Blood tracks can be tracked without the sense and even with it they mostly glow only if within visible range, meaning that the game character sees them and it hints to you that they're there.

@@connorkenway09 yeah I got it at launch. Really enjoying it. Animals can get spooked super easily. I’m down wind, moving like a ninja (or so I think lol). Animals 250m away. Then they all call and run off. It’s a new level of challenge I’m enjoying getting to grips with.
Thanks, Karak! Saw an ad for this the other day, thought it looked interesting because it was pretty and guns I guess. I appreciate you taking a look at it, I don't know that it's for me, but I always enjoy your content.
I was waiting for this review before pre-ordering. You've got me
nice review. Saw the game come up while browsing steam the other day, and this review told me exactly what i needed to know about it.
Couldn’t of explained this any better!! Love the in depth descriptions. Great video. Got my sub
This is very thorough review! I have noticed a few of the things you mention and some I didn't realize. You earned my subscription because it's clear you have played enough hours to discover everything. You must like it!
Well damn you’ve convinced me to actually try a hunting simulator for the first time. Thanks man!
I've been waiting for this one, glad to hear it holds muster. I had super high hopes and also a great deal of trepidation going into Open Country, which had more bush craft and survival elements and was also way more of a cartoony arcade hunting sim. I would love to see similar survival elements in a more realistic hunting sim like Way of the Hunter. Then I'd really have a stew going.
Looking forward to this, I have it pre ordered, thank you for your review 👍
As is often the case this was not on my radar until you highlighted it. Eloquent as always, a breath of fresh mountain air. Cheers.
I’ve never been into hunting games. I try a large variety of games in many different genres. But hunting was never one of them. I did get positive vibes from this though. I kept it on my radar and checked things out as they became available. Up to the point that I preordered it. I’ve been a long term subscriber and although your reviews aren’t make or break for me. I do value your opinion. Almost always they align with my own. So I’m very glad to see that you rate this well. Even more so when I know the enjoyment you got out of Call Of The Wild. Keep up the excellent work as always. And health n happiness to you and yours 👍🏼
Love the review. Honestly probably one of the best reviews for any form of media I've seen
Thanks man, great review as usual. I really love the variety in the games you review, and even though I’m not a hunter, this looks mighty impressive. It’s on my wishlist for sure. Hope your having a great day bud!
Damn didnt even know about this one! Already preordered the Elite Edition! Thanks Karak!
One of the only KZread reviewers that: 1. Reviews this game at all. 2. Approaches it with actual knowledge of the subject matter.
Awesome review like always dude hmm I have been wanting for. A long time to try a hunting game and this sounds like the one thanks you

Helpful review of Way of the Hunter, thanks ACG. Wandering the wilderness in these games is half the fun, seeing all the sights. Glad the 2 maps are a giant scale.
Thanks for the great review! I’ve had high hopes of this game since it was announced. Glad it turned out to be exactly what I wanted!
This is exactly why ACG is the best when it comes to video game reviews. I'm not usually interested in titles such as this one. However, the review is so detailed and enjoyable that I'm actually excited to play Way of the Hunter. Thanks once again Karak for another honest and thorough review! I really appreciate it!

Oh man, I am so relieved that Karak likes this. Pretty much a dead cert I will too. Thanks for the video!
Great video, been looking at this so might pick it up at some point
I played a bit of Hunter Call of the Wild because you impressed me while playing it, and I gotta say I really enjoyed the game. I've been hunting once in real life (for boar) which was an absolute nightmare, so it's fun to actually learn about the animals and what it takes to actually stalk in a game. Plus the environment looks amazing! Thanks for the review!
All admit I was on steam looking at reviews on powerwash simulator as you mentioned it in your video lol
Never played a hunting pc game before, this looks incredible though! Sadly I think I've got too many other purchases vying for my wallet atm, maybe on a sale in the future. P.S. LOVE the time stamps, thank you
man.. i can't believe im saying this but i guess i gotta grab this hahah as a life long hunter this looked fun! sadly the two ruptured disks in my back im waiting to see a surgeon for have pretty much stopped me from hunting anymore. miss it a lot haha
This review has me interested in hunting games for the first time - downloading Call of the Wild now on my series X, which may lead me to buying Way of the Hunter if it gels with me. You’d make a great salesman btw :) Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Seeing the Recent MX legends game from THQ Nordic. I was really surprised to see this quality this game was. As a long time player of call of the wild. This was truly how I wanted that game to turn out. I want to personally thank you for this great review. I will pick up this game. Keep up the great reviews. I always enjoy them.

Never played one of these types of games..but I’m very interested now..great review.
Omg °° so well put brother ! I need this game
Loved the video, i'm normally not interested in simulators but this game really caught my attention, would you consider this game good for someone who hasn't played any hunting games or many simulators before?
What is your take on the antler generation tech that they have used? An issue that I had with Hunter, although I love the game, was that after a short while you've pretty much seen every variation of racks aside from slightly different mass or tine length.
Hey Karak great review! Can you tell me what fps this runs at on ps5?
Great review. Looks an awesome game. Never liked the idea of hunting games but this looks interesting.
Awesome review! Just subscribed and bought this game. Thank you!
This looks awesome, even though I never played such games, I'll give it a try!
I was waiting for this review. As a fan of hunting games, I'm way to hopeful for this one.
Pre-Ordered it on PS5, looking forward to it. I’ve played Hunter Call of the Wild, and it’s a good romp, so excited for this too. I’ve been hunting all my life, and these are pretty realistic. Looking forward, thanks for the review!
i loved call of the wild. not because of the hunting (which was great) but because of how real the outdoors felt. just hiking through the hills and brush was amazing. looking forward to trying this out.
I remember maneater having these problems with loading specifically on PlayStation 4 and 5. I don't know what it was like on PC but I kind of wonder if that's just an unreal issue
I'm not a hunter but I got covid last year and hunter call of the wild was on gamepass. I downloaded it and ended up buying every expansion for it. It was the most immersive game I've ever played. To be fair it looks like this game is just improving on the already rock solid foundation that Hcotw has laid with improved visuals. I'm super excited for this game. Great review as always.
Great review. You make me want to play everything after a video. took me awhile to be like nah still not my game lol but hey Gamepass makes feel like you never know

OMFG...you are using video chapters now! NEXT LEVEL!
The issue you mention at 9:30, the loading stutters, seems to be a persistent issue with Unreal Engine games. The last game I heard that had similar issue was Kena: Bridge of Spirits. There are probably more games.
Heyy, thanks for time stamps.
Enjoyed messing around with Hunter: COTW, but this looks like it has the edge on that. Think I'll pick this one up
Ill be picking up this one thanks to your review. I knew nothing like Jon Snow before spotting this review.
I am SO excited for this game! I've played a lot of The Hunter and it just doesn't have any competition (unless you play Classic, which... Is the same developers). This is really exciting. I hope they will take better care of bugs than The Hunter does.
On one hand I'm very excited for a new and improved hunting game. On the other I've spent so much on COTW over the years including reserves I haven't even played on. This looks great though.
Yep I’m buying it based on your review. As a hunter who really was gunshot moving on from cow. I’m happy to get this upgrade.
I’m for sure getting this!
A game I would like to hear your thoughts on, mainly sound wise, is Hunt Showdown. It came out years ago so I know it doesn't make sense to review now but to me it's some of the best sound I've heard in a game.
I love The Hunter Call of the Wild. There are so few hunting games out there on the market. I don't think we've even seen a Cabela's title in quite some time and they were more of a mixed bag than anything. Dangerous Hunts wasn't too bad. I also love that there is a Fishing game coming from the folks that did "the Hunter" Call of the wild. This might just be something I pick up. Noticed in the video that you have a Leupold scope. They actually have licensed gear? That's pretty kickass. I want a game where I can hunt rabbits with a beagle where the dog circles the rabbit. I love small game hunting and have yet to see a game properly replicate that.
Ok, this might be one I need to buy on release. Looks incredible!
Does it have black powder firearms and does it have bullet cam? That would Make it an instant buy.
this game looks amazing, i love the addition of jeeps and bigger roads so you can get around the map, saves walking for 30 minutes like you do in cotw just to get to the hunting spot
