Warning: This is a very violent game series -- one thing that sucks is that you have to hunt animals in the game.-mouser
As it was in Far Cry 3 - this is fine and I have no problem with it, (being a hunter myself), because you
use what you kill. Even if you only need the skin, you collect bait which can be used against the opposition.
Be nicer if they'd had some form of energy depletion and you sit down and roast your kill to gain energy, (of course you'd probably attract unwanted bears, tigers, etc
).
I think that instead of highlighting a point on the map saying "Go there, do this", they could have said "Go find this place, do this" leaving enough references, (sign posts, a compass heading, talk to locals you see, etc), that you could determine where you're supposed to go. Then, maybe, when you're within ~100m you get a location on the map or some other form of alert.
Being shown where you need to be from the start makes it far to linear, mind you, you can take your time getting there usually. So you can have a blast running things over or dropping 40mm rounds from a buzzer
Not a bad game, (like Far Cry 3 and 2), but once I got a reasonably quiet weapon it became rather easy.
