- Squirrels take something like 8 shots from a shotgun to kill. Bears, one.
- You can shoot an animal, listen to the guide say "Now finish him off", shoot him again, and get penalized.
- There's a stamina meter, which I guess is accurate, but is unfair because: a) It drains at walking speed and b) you need to walk across huge maps sometimes.
- Fishing employs ridiculously inaccurate mechanics and requires you to move a joystick with an accuracy of literally 2-3 degrees.
- When the game says "Shoot 3 bears" it sometimes means "Shoot 3 male adult bears" and there's no way of finding this out until after you kill a bear and get penalized.
- There's no way of being able to determine the gender of most of the animals until after you kill it and get penalized for killing the wrong gender.
- You need to adjust for wind and bullet arcs for shots as short as 3 yards. No, really, 3.
- An animal can pounce at you from 10 feet and damage you without coming close to you at all.
- Sometimes, the game you need to hunt will run to a cabin and you can't kill it because you can't shoot a gun within 50 yards of an occupied building, regardless of the fact that the building isn't fucking occupied.
I'm still keeping Gears 2 on hold, and my new goal is to get GTA IV done before I start Gears. So far, I've done 11 races in about 5 total hours. Wanted seems like it'll be more time-consuming, but infinitely more straight-forward. For now, I've just been doing AWP with Sajaa and doing the campaign again for Chain Reaction during downtime.
I still stand by "SR2 > SR1 > GTA IV". Hell, I'd rather play Superman Returns than GTA for 100 hours.

Thanks for the warning. I have too many games with only a few achievements (I use my time in multiplayer matches) and I've been thinking of getting more of them in some of my games (maybe finish King Kong or something).
HA - you think you had it rough. I didn't know there was a cheat to use the radar on Simulation difficulty. So I did the entire thing without it. Now that is PAIN.
