I picked it up on Xbox back when it was released, because I liked the first one a lot. It was one of the biggest gaming regrets I’ve ever made. It is so goddamn tedious.

Like, I get why it’s that way. It’s the reason it’s popular. It’s all about the attention to detail and a semblance of realism, but holy shit do I hate it.

I got my first perfect bear skin and was pretty jazzed about it. On my way back to camp I got attacked by a mountain lion, sending me, my horse, and the skin down a hill. I only found my horse.

Maybe I did something wrong, but I’ve never been more upset at a videogame in my life.
