This is some game. No, really. The actual game itself.
Long story short. I bought an Xbox One X to play RDR2 on release 3 months ago. Loved it. Put 160 hours into it. But the real thing I found the most interesting was the hunting / tracking.
Someone in the RDR thread mentioned that the mechanism was stolen from The Hunter Call of the Wild.
So I downloaded that for free on the Xbox , game pass, and had a go. It got me totally hooked (but a bit frustrated - hold your breath without moving on the same stick? - stupid idea)
I got to wondering how it might work on the PC. So today I found a download code for the 2019 edition with all DLC included and bought it. (£18)
Holy hell. It's a completely different experience compared to the Xbox. Animals are everywhere. So much easier with a keyboard and mouse too (weapons and inventory selection especially so)
Looking forward to putting a few hundred hours in on this
