I am a console user, and it appears us console plebes have issues that PC master race doesn't.
1. I spent 3 hours and didn't see a single track or hear an animal. I went onto the internet to find out why. Turns out this is a known bug that still hasn't been fixed on console.
2. I've shot over a dozen deer, aiming for the head, neck, spine, heart, and lungs. Only one died later from wounds. One required 6 rounds to kill. It's like the deer are wearing armor and I'm shooting a nerf gun. Back to the internet. Turns out this is by design. SMH.
3. Rifle sway is terrible - nothing at all like real life. I was more accurate my very first time with a real rifle than this game let's you be. People say aiming is easier with mouse and keyboard... which us console users don't have.
The game is beautiful, but the bugs and the built in frustration just aren't worth it to me.
Update: I changed the star rating from 1 to 3. The game truly is frustrating on the console, but all the people saying it is really beautiful are right.
