Covak Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 http://www.thehunter.com/pub/ Video page. If you haven't seen the game already, definitely give it a look (it's super pretty!). I don't think it's completely open yet, but they are slowly rolling out invites to people registered at the site. So I just tried it... After a 2 hour hunt (which ended with only two spottings and a single kill right at the end) I immediately paid $25 for a 6 month premium membership. I don't even know what that means (since the game is "free"), I just liked it that much It's incredibly slow-paced, but immersive as hell, and I have a soft spot for anything that sucks me in really well. It's not just the graphics, but the way the game actually works, the feeling of movement... it's all solid. The sound is alright, too. And the forest has a wonderfully realistic feel to it. Really sucked me in and made me feel like I was in a real place, with realistically-elusive deer about (not that I'd really know). The pacing makes it so that when you do finally track a deer down it's pretty exciting and tense. You sure as hell need oodles of patience if you're going to try it, but I'd recommend taking a look just for the graphics sometime. I'd kill for something like Oblivion with forests that nice. Heck, if they just add a bow and arrow to the game sometime I'll be in heaven... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I don't care if I'm just talking to myself, I need to get this out there... My name is Covak, and I have an unhealthy addiction to hunting virtual deer. And they will be adding bows... Lord help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 You cannot go wrong with a game that has advertising from both the Boone & Crockett Club and the NRA. I am looking forward to the mini-game where you gut and dress your kill. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 They did add a mini-game, but it's Arkanoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
