Hi I wanted to give something during your stream but it ended before I could. I'm toxiczone. But using my other account because I can't send anything with that account. Have an awesome day!
I was about to say... I am super excited to hunt the elephant, giraffe, and hippo. I kinda wish that the whole big five could've been included but I think it would be a good update once the game releases! I really liked this video, thanks for sharing
I wish all the big 5 could have been included in one map as well. That was their original plan I believe, so I don’t know what happened. I would like to see Rhinos and Leopards in a second Africa map that would otherwise be dedicated to antelope species, but they have given us Hippos and Crocs which is definitely nice.
I think lots of lost resources on animals like the elephant or crocodile or the smaller animals. For me, the kudu, warthog, and the buffalo are very good for a start.
I appreciate the impressive roster of animals, but i still wanted to see leopards and rhinos If this game gets updates after release, I'm sure they'd get added in tho
The only hunting game i can think of that have giraffes would be Cabela's African Safari all the way back from 2006, and in that game they weren't even a huntable species (you could still kill them but you couldn't harvest or get a score for them, in fact you got penalized for doing so) Needles to say, giraffe would be the very first animal I'll try to hunt when this game comes out 💯
I didn’t realize this was premiering as I was at work. However I did get around to watching it. I’m not going to question your judgment on the Difficulty rankings for each animal, since you live in the same area that this reserve will resemble, and (I assume) have connections with hunters there. I feel like maybe you ranked some on the Iconic scale a little too low (the crocs for example), but again, I’m not from Africa (However my stepfather is, and whenever I hear you talk it feels like I’m listening to a younger version of himself!). The only thing that I personally disagree upon is the uniqueness for quite a few of the species. I wasn’t sure if you meant uniqueness in terms of how many times these animals appeared in other hunting games, or in terms of how similar they are to other animals. Many of the animals on this reserve have been seen in hunting games before (Cabela’s African Safari from 2006 is a great example of a game that has most of them, and it was also my first non-arcade hunting game). But animals like the Rock Hyrax and Helmeted Guineafowl have never been implemented in any hunting game before (to my knowledge, I may be wrong), and while I’m personally more excited for bigger game like Elephants, Hippos, & Zebras, I can’t deny that it will be exciting for me to hunt a species I’ve never hunted before in any other hunting game. Most likely I will have to kill some Hyraxes and Warthogs before I “graduate” to elephant levels of weapons. Great video, and I absolutely respect your opinion. I’m excited for the California video!
Thank you so much. Just to clarify, The "Iconic" scale was if you had to think of africa, what would the first animals be that pop into your head. And the Unique was how many times have they or something very similar been in other hunting games (Hare for example, The Savanna hare has never appeared, but "Hare" have, and they are SO similar that i classify them as the same thing in a game", and since Hyrax are very similar in behaviour, i put them in the same class, because in a Game they will jump around, eat grass and leaves, and hide when they are disturbed, just like Hare) I am SO glad you enjoyed the Video though
3:56 Sorry to say, but your information is just plain incorrect. You almost never shoot old, 'trophy' lions out of prides especially in today's Africa where conservation of the species is more important than ever. I know this is a game and it doesn't have to be completely accurate but the fact of the matter is that lions are not nearly as easy to hunt as you think. And based on what multiple top PH's have stated before, lions are probably one of the most difficult animals to hunt in Africa for the simple fact that finding a male that fits both the age criteria, as well as being a representative specimen, is a huge challenge. Hence why you usually are not going to book a safari that lasts under 18 days. Your statement about elephant hunting not being particularly difficult is also flat-out wrong. Elephants are going to be hunted with your feet, which can mean dozens of kilometres will be traversed every day for a minimum of 14 days, as that is the most commonly chosen time frame for an elephant safari today. Shooting is also exceptionally difficult as an elephant is constantly alert, and will usually present very challenging shot angles for the hunter. Let's not mention the fact that elephants are not going to be "impressed" by any shoulder mounted rifle. It's all about shot placement.
Old Lion are rarely hunted as trophies outside of caged hunting, most lion trophies are taken out of pride. Lion are far easier to Hunt than for example Leopard, Sitatunga, or even buffalo in certain regions (Like Uganda). Heck, In the true bush, not on a hunting farm, i found Bushbuck more difficult to hunt than Lion. Having taken part in several Lion hunts myself, i can assure you of this. Being Terrestrial, and territorial, any hunter worth his salt will know the area, and prides well enough to know where to go, and then to track the Lion, eith old solo males, or prides. BUT once again, prides are extremely more complex to hunt than solitary males. As for Elephant, same applies to the Lion, any hunter worth his salt will know where the Elephant are at any particular time of year, reducing the need for tracking. However for "Guided Hunts"it is common to delay the finding of animals so as to have the client stay the full 14 to 21 days, and they intern give the team bigger tips. And yes, shot placement is extremely important. I have seen photographs and heard confirming statements of Elephant being put down with a well placed brain shot using nothing more than a .303. However it was done by a man who had shot more than 100 Elephant in his life, and the shot was taken from no more than 30m. With todays 700 Nitro's you can take much more challenging shots and less accuracy is required. I think where the confusion comes from with regards to difficulty to hunt certain species are due to "Satellite Hunters" being used to guide clients, not knowing the area, and therefore struggling to produce the required result.
We have indeed seen them listed, If you watch my "Everything We Know about Ultimate Hunting" video, you will see the full list, and some models. BUT anything from a >416 and up will work on them
Idk Ground squirrels this be first time other hunting games had squirrels but they wasn’t collect able so to actually collect will be neat to me but most of your list seems right
@@Ragnar.Gaming yea kind of crazy that they might add an animal just to make the water seem more like an ecosystem instead of just a drink zone. Plus it looks like so much fun when I watch Americans on the internet hunt alligators from boats with shotguns.
Hi I wanted to give something during your stream but it ended before I could. I'm toxiczone. But using my other account because I can't send anything with that account. Have an awesome day!
OH my word Toxic, thank you so very much, i am speechless!!!
@@Ragnar.Gaming sure thing!
I was about to say... I am super excited to hunt the elephant, giraffe, and hippo. I kinda wish that the whole big five could've been included but I think it would be a good update once the game releases! I really liked this video, thanks for sharing
Yeah, there are definitely species i feel are missing, BUT it means a future map could get them, so i will have something else to look forward to
Giraffes will definitely be one of main Animals I go for an Hippo Africa map I’m more excited about
I wish all the big 5 could have been included in one map as well. That was their original plan I believe, so I don’t know what happened. I would like to see Rhinos and Leopards in a second Africa map that would otherwise be dedicated to antelope species, but they have given us Hippos and Crocs which is definitely nice.
Great video, all these animals and so many new guns to drop them with.....I really can't wait
Thank you so much!! And heck yeah, super excited
Damn i missed the premier, great video once again ragnar
Hey Conrad, no worries, glad you could watch it though, tomorrows video should be around the same time
Fun chatting with everyone. amazing video can't wait for the next one
Thank you so very much Bro, its always so much fun hanging out with you all
I think lots of lost resources on animals like the elephant or crocodile or the smaller animals. For me, the kudu, warthog, and the buffalo are very good for a start.
I feel that Small game are not what brings me to a map or game..... BUT if i see one i will shoot it
I appreciate the impressive roster of animals, but i still wanted to see leopards and rhinos
If this game gets updates after release, I'm sure they'd get added in tho
Personally i agree, but i think they would be better served on another map so as to have "Iconic" species on that too
Nice vid ragnar!
Thank you so much Punker

I suppose Big Buck Safari also had giraffe lol, but that was an action arcade game tho
I must say, Giraffe are near the top of my list too!
I’m definitely excited for the chacma baboon!
Dassies for the win too
The list i am excited for is sooooo long, lol

They do taste good!

@@Ragnar.Gaming Fair enough. We can agree to disagree
@@maxmcqueen1196 Absolutely yes. I can only speak of my own experiences, and i am sure others experiences could be vastly different.
I remember zebra in dangerous hunts I think it’s the only game I seen them in
Yes, somewhere i know i have hunted them, but it was so long ago
Agreed with your rankings
Glad you agree, I was worried that I was being too harsh....
What kind of a weapon would you need to take down a hippo, elephant or giraffe in real life?? Have we seen those weapons on the games list yet??
We have indeed seen them listed, If you watch my "Everything We Know about Ultimate Hunting" video, you will see the full list, and some models. BUT anything from a >416 and up will work on them
For hippo and elephants i would use the 416 and up but with the giraffe i have used 308 in real life so imo from 308 and up is viable
@@raider2236 Yeah, i have used .303 on Giraffe, they may be large, but are not in the same league as Elephant, or Hippo.
Dang! Off by one on the elephant!
Good prediction though!
Idk Ground squirrels this be first time other hunting games had squirrels but they wasn’t collect able so to actually collect will be neat to me but most of your list seems right
Thats a very valid point, I will still shoot one for my trophy lodge though
@@Ragnar.Gaming what’s gonna be interesting the most is Baboons everything else I will hunt but Baboons probably be a new favorite to hunt
Completely agree
You Legend
5,5,4,5
Not excited for the crocodile
There are possibilities for crocodiles that could be exciting, but i will have to wait and see how they are done in the game
@@Ragnar.Gaming I agree that it could be interesting. if we got boats and have to watch out for hippos. But IDK?
@@f1sherman52 That is something i did not even consider.....
@@Ragnar.Gaming yea kind of crazy that they might add an animal just to make the water seem more like an ecosystem instead of just a drink zone. Plus it looks like so much fun when I watch Americans on the internet hunt alligators from boats with shotguns.
Lol this game is whack, postponed and everything, no exciting animals, no cool guns. Who wants to shoot a giraffe.. COTW4LYF
HAHAHAHA, Zaggi for COTW Community Manager
