#DEER HUNTER RELOADED PATCH#

As IвЂ™ve already said my piece about the shooting, just imagine having to shoot tiny creatures out of the sky, but feeling like youвЂ™ve taken a tranquilizer right beforehand. By inspired, I mean direct copies of that old game, except youвЂ™re going to be using the internal shooting mechanics of this game, which left quite a bitter taste in my mouth. There are also duck hunt inspired missions.

It was at that point that I realized I must be shooting tiny blackholes at my targets, or that this game is probably horribly buggy and the 5GB patch that I downloaded did nothing to fix it. On the next shot, that deer teleported into the ethereal and was never seen again. By run in a circle, I donвЂ™t mean running around a pillar, I mean that it began to spin in place whilst using its running animation. I once shot a deer in the lungs, which is a vital shot that should kill it shortly after infliction, and it proceeded to run in a circle.

And these targets move in the funkiest of ways. Walk out a few feet further, and the game will immediately bump you to the map screen so you can travel to another hunting ground of the region.Д®ach of the hunting areas is pretty tiny, and when you factor in the fact that you can only get so close to your target animals, it really does feel like a firing range that includes moving targets. Most of the time, if you do go off path, the animals will immediately run away from you, and you will be given a ten second timer to move back to the path. See, the game forces you to stay on the paths of the map, and wonвЂ™t allow you to get closer to your targets than whatever the fallen tree dictates.

Now, many of you may have gotten the impression that by вЂgun range shootingвЂ™, youвЂ™ll be trapped in a gun range trying to get your accuracy up to scratch to be a decent hunter. ItвЂ™s safe to say that I didnвЂ™t make it to the end of all the levels though, for the game became a heavy slog of repetitive, gun range shooting. I never really did feel the need to replace my rifle though, because I had upgraded it and wanted to save up my hunting coins вЂ“ for which I will refer to them as bucks вЂ“ to see if the last rifle would be any better than the first. Each level will unlock a new weapon for you to purchase, so you canвЂ™t just nab the last rifle at the beginning of the game, which is fine by me. You get little challenges on the left side of the screen that lead you into progression missions, that in turn will allow you to unlock more areas and give you further experience to level your hunter up. The first hunting area you spend time in is in Texas. Deer Hunter could definitely have gone with more variety in the guns, but at least there are some there to begin with. Granted, there are only nine hunting rifles and seven shotguns for you to purchase, so itвЂ™s kind of a tiny let down in the end. Now, keep in mind, that is really the only thing I like about this game вЂ“ the fact that they cared to put some variety and reason into buying a different gun for your hunting trips. ThatвЂ™s what I like about this game вЂ“ that there is a purpose to taking a specific type of gun with you on your trip, rather than some hunting games in the past where just about any gun is suitable for each adventure. The reload speed is slower, and so it is recommended to take a pump shotgun with you. Thing is, the shotguns donвЂ™t have a noticeable spread, and you can get jumped by three wolves at once, which makes for an unfortunate time if youвЂ™re using a breach shotgun. You wonвЂ™t run into them at first, but these predators are going to pop up and come after you, and the best way to protect yourself against them is by using a shotgun. Why is that important to know? Well, I mentioned that predators can accost you, and I meant that in the sense that Mountain Lions, Wolves, and Kodiak Bears are all present, in their respective states, and have no issues with mauling your character. A pump shotgun is just a simple slide back of the pump at the front of the gun, which allows the next shell, pulled from the internal clip, to be knocked and ready in the barrel, whilst a breach shotgun is one that separates at the base of the barrel, near the grip, and needs to be manually loaded after both, or sometimes one, shell is expended. YouвЂ™ll find both pump and breach shotguns available, which simply describes the action in which to ready the gun for firing a shell.

There are your hunting rifles, very simple long range weapons that donвЂ™t need much explaining, and then there are your shotguns, which are pretty useless if youвЂ™re not being accosted by a predator. There are quite a few weapons that you can purchase, split into two categories.
