Look, you really don't have to eat that often!
I heard good things about it and struggled to find it. It wasn't in any store and in the end, I had to buy it online for $40 (regret it, too). Then again, a week later, I found it in stores for $30 (go fig, eh?).
Anyways, I was quite excited to be able to play it. I heard that it was quite rare so that was a big plus for me, since I seem to have a serious thing for rare games. At any rate, I popped it in and watched the opening. Hmm...strange.
Then, playing, you are left on your own. You have to find food, water, shelter, etc. all on your own. No problem, right? Wrong.
The character (whatever his name was) has to eat way too often. The normal human being doesn't need to do that....seriously. Wandering the island to find said items is just far too tedious. It feels like that was all I was doing, trying to find enough food to keep him alive. I didn't even last a "day," dying at about 3 in the morning. Ok...humans can go longer than that without food, trust me. After that, I never looked back on the game and haven't tried again since.
It just wasn't my kind of game. Things were too difficult (no, I'm not one of those "soft gamers" either) and just didn't make any sense.
If you can't rent it or borrow it, try to find it cheap. Can't find it cheap? Let it go. Just let it go...
