I've spent like 5 hours over the past couple days trying to get one satchel upgrade and all I've got is a single perfect raccoon pelt.
This game seems to find all kinds of ways to make you miserable and frustrated with the worst game design you've ever thought possible.
I just spent like half an hour trying to track down this 3 star deer and every single time I try and get a shot on it it just misses even though I'm pointed directly at its head. And then I run and run and run trying to chase it and having to press the two stick buttons to keep the tracking going, but then sometimes it just reverses my position and screws my sense of direction up, and after about three times doing this, I lose it.
Just a whole half hour of my life gone. In fact, FIVE hours of my life gone, because I deal with the same with anything I'm trying to hunt. Rabbits are the only thing I can consistently hunt perfect pelts of.
I hate this so much. I hate it because I feel like I HAVE to upgrade this painfully limited satchel. But I cant even get a damn SQUIRREL, because it requires the most perfect hitbox strike in the world or else it degrades the pelt. I've tracked like ten 3 star squirrels in this time trying to get one and every single time it either gets away or I shoot it and it's 1-2 stars(and yes I'm using small game arrows, though it's also ridiculous how specific your weapon needs to be).
It's absolutely infuriating. This crap is literally a waste of my goddamn life.
