In that regard you are fined if you kill an animal you don’t have a license for, use the wrong calibre weapon or shoot a female animal. Hunting Simulator 2 is designed to make the experience as realistic as possible.
However you do it, it takes time and requires a lot of patience. Practice does eventually make perfect although I found myself to be quicker at tracking than my faithful Lab. Early on your trusty mutt can be easily distracted by passing butterflies or just simply lose the trail. Your canine companion can help you track but will need to develop his or her skills. The correct way to play is to track the animals via their footprints, droppings or other signs of their presence and patiently stalk them until you are in a position to take a shot. This scared off pretty much every animal within a hundred-mile radius and made my initial time with the game dull and frustrating. My second mistake was to run around the forest basically crashing through the trees and generally blundering about. The only thing I could afford was a crossbow. This left me with hardly anything with which to buy a weapon. On my first play, I accidentally bypassed the tutorial and made the mistake of spending pretty much all of my credits buying all of the licences for Colorado. Tracking alone can take a considerable amount of time and even then if you mistime the shot the animal will leg it most often never to be seen again and you are back to square one. It’s a good introduction but doesn’t be fooled that subsequent hunts will be that easy and quick.
#HUNTING SIMULATOR 2 LIST OF ANIMALS HOW TO#
The initial tutorial pairs you up with a trusty canine companion and takes you through how to track, kill and bag your first animal. There is no option to actually name your dog, I’m just a bit sad! one man and his dog I named my Labrador Wilson after my own real-life four-legged friends as they kind of looked alike. My favourite was the Labrador as not only was he cute he was also able to retrieve game that had fallen into water or other tricky to search areas. Each dog has different skills and attributes. You can choose either a Labrador Retriever, a German Short Haired Pointer or a Beagle. This is a new edition to the Hunting Simulator franchise. It’s also here that you can choose a canine companion to join you on your hunts. There are over 160 weapons, accessories and items of clothing from all the well-known hunting brands such as Winchester, Browning and Kryptek. At the lodge, you can purchase weapons, equipment and hunting aids and there is even a shooting range to try out your new purchases. You overall base for the game is the rather plush hunting lodge which seems to have a magic portal to all of the areas. Planning is required and this is designed to make the experience as close to a real hunt as possible. Using the wrong calibre on an animal results in an instant fine so it’s not a case of blasting away at everything with the same gun. Each of the 33 require different tactics and different weapons to hunt. The animals go from small birds right up to grizzly bears. This makes both easier to kill but it’s not something I saw very often. Indeed if you are lucky you will witness the larger animals hunting their smaller prey. There are 33 mammals and birds to hunt and the AI is designed so that they act as they would in the wild. From forests to meadows and wetlands, each area has the correct animals for the location and environment. The locations are Colorado, Texas and Europe. Hunting Simulator 2 is set in three different locations each with two different hunting reserves. So is Hunting Simulator 2 the game to turn a balding middle-aged Englishman into a true hunter-gatherer, read on and find out. However, I am willing to give anything a go (within reason) and am a sucker for a good sniper rifle (virtually of course). I am very wary of simulation games these days as often they are only really of interest of the enthusiast. Developed by Neopica and published by Nacon it is the imaginatively titled sequel to 2017’s generally well-received Hunting Simulator. Hunting Simulator 2 is the latest entry into this small genre. Full-on hunting games are few and far between and the genre is a very small niche in the overall video game market. I have experienced hunting via the medium of video games mainly via the Far Cry and Red Dead Redemption franchises but that’s about it. Being a citizen of the United Kingdom I can’t say that I have ever gone hunting or know a vast amount about it.
