WOW this game gave me a lot to talk about. I didn't expect this video to end up being so much work but I hope you all enjoyed it! Next up, Call Of Juarez: Gunslinger. If you want to join me for that stream, come give a follow to my twitch! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
I was making a mod for this game 1-2 years ago and while editing the files I discovered the game actually has a lot of unused mechanics like ai suppressive fire,actual ai communication,gore etc which can be enabled.if the game was finished then it would've turned out to be pretty good.Sucks that they didn't have time to finish it.
@@epic8923 Well, Chrome and Chrome Specforce was running on the first Chrome Engine. Call Of Juarez was on Chrome Engine 3. Bound In Blood was on Chrome Engine 4. Dead Island, The Cartel and Gunslinger was on Chrome Engine 5. And from 2014 onward it's the 6th Chrome Engine, which Techland uses.
About the G2A thing, for some reason, I'm in Romania rn and I'm getting G2A ads every now and then it amazes me, really. You yourself said you'd rather pirate the game than buying it from there and somehow they are still alive.
Unfortunately some of the prices that G2A offer are just too good for people to turn down, especially if they're not aware of their fishy practices as well
I actually bought some games from G2A for real i didn't know that the keys were actually stolen in the first place and the reason why that I used the website because of how cheap the games were now I won't be part of that platform anymore
@@lamlelamatsiliza8550 not all of them are stolen but there are so many keys on the websites and compared to how many keys companies usually give its likely that at least 80% or more are stolen
It's a shame that the game turned out like it is. I was unfamiliar with the Call of Juarez series, so The Cartel easily flew past my mind. When I found out about it on IMFDB, I was curious on what it was like. And as bad as it was, it does have an interesting idea. A modern day interpretation of a western, similar to the FX series Justified or the Coen Brothers movie No Country For Old Men, but mixed with the real-world conflicts with Mexican drug cartels, similar to the Sicario movies. The idea of playing as a dirty cop is also an intriguing idea to me, the only other FPS where you could do that was Battlefield: Hardline. It's disappointing that the graphics and gameplay (as well as the disjointed story and unlikable characters) drag the whole thing down. It could've been so much better with the right amount of effort. I feel like this idea could've worked, just not as a CoJ game.
This game was my introduction to Call of Juarez, so finding out that it started as an actual western FPS series was an interesting thing to learn about.
Just a thought, with the co-op thing with telling your friend to look away so you can get the experience, I feel like it would be alot more interesting if when you busted them you got half the experience that they would have gotten or something
it would still be a ill let you get away with this if you let me get away with this which would have still been more intresting it could work by docking the xp you get from the other players at the end of the mission for letting that person get away with it
Why the Benelli M4 is pump action? It's a semi-auto shotgun. Shame on you game, shame on you. And i'm a shotgun's player. So that a shame for this category.
I mean technically the SPAS can be swapped between pump and semi-auto because it can be both modes but developers either have it be one or the other never both.
Cursed Hawkins running a SPAS on semi only works with rounds that have enough power to cycle the action. It is a weapon primarily made for law enforcement so the pump function is there if they wish to fire specialty ammo like beanbangs.
Giant Dwarf Not really. User error is something to account for and that can easily happen if the shooter is in a stressful situation while operating the gun. You could say it can be mitigated by training but the same applies to automatics. Training is the key.
Gunslinger is underrated, the only complaint I have about it is that it under uses it's own story telling device. That being that the story is literally being told orally as you play through the game and that what's being said will effect things in the game world.
@@ThaBotmon Like contacting a developer about a game he made years ago that noone has a copy of, and the only copy is on an unreliable floppy disk. Or the Dementia game.... I Don't even want to go into that one.

The original Call of Juarez was definitely rough around the edges but at least, it set the foundation for the franchise. Call of Juarez Bound in Blood greatly improved upon the original game. It had a pretty good story, interesting characters, satisfying shooting mechanics and you felt like you were in a living and breathing world. The game had personality and charm to it. The Western setting was intriguing and fun to explore. On the other hand, Call of Juarez the Cartel is a soulless, bland and generic FPS title. It's only Call of Juarez because of it's title and nothing else. In fact, Bound in Blood and The Cartel are complete polar opposites of one another in just about every single aspect. Call of Juarez the Cartel could've done a lot more when it comes to the U.S./Mexico border drug cartel issue. This is a completely different entertainment medium, but look at how great the original Sicaro was and the solid job that it did when it came to tackling the aforementioned drug cartel problem. I got so bored and uninterested in Call of Juarez the Cartel that I stopped playing the game after only 30 minutes. As you've already mentioned, the audio is poorly done. It's as if the sound was recorded in an empty room, which is no excuse for a AAA title. The graphics options are basic at best and that's putting it rather mildly. If you are playing solo and you are driving a car, you can't even shoot. That has got to be one of the worst video game mechanics that I've ever seen in a game. In other words, you need a partner in order to successfully complete said driving sections. I wholeheartedly agree when it comes to getting knocked down because it takes a few seconds in order for the character to get back up. It really becomes frustrating and irritating when it happens over and over again and you can't do anything about it. The story and characters are generic. I guess the shooting alright but that's it. I doubt that there will ever be another Call of Juarez game and the disappointing Call of Juarez the Cartel is a big reason for that. It's a shame, because Call of Juarez Bound in Blood and Call of Juarez Gunslinger were really enjoyable titles.
@King Croft you sound offended for no reason. You must lead a really boring life if this is what you do on the internet. But you do you my friend keep trying to live that edgelord life.

Nah its basically just a western version of CoD,the cartel how ever was a rejected concept for Call of duty with cops and criminals and these devs decided to make a game out of it.
The gameplay for me was incredibly frustrating since some of the missions were glitched. For example, there was a driving segment that gave you an objective marker well said marker vanished and I got completely turned around to the point where I was driving out of the games boundary and all that there was was the skybox
I actually enjoyed this game when I was a kid, but we enjoy a lot of things as kids. If I played it now I think I’d hate it, it’s a stain on the series. But at least it makes me appreciate the masterpiece Bound In Blood more
I think when I was in Mexico a long time ago visiting I accidentally made the mistake of renting this game... needless to say it left a poor taste in my mouth after beating so I ended up buying bound in blood after returning home...
I remember picking this up at Gamestop on release day for $60 (OUCH) I was 11, I liked the other games so I figured it be fun. I beat the game in 4 hours, and went back to Gamestop where they told me I'd get $25 for the trade in. It was the first time I'd experienced a pure shit game, and felt robbed of $60.
The secret objectives thing never made sense to me. So you're supposed to do these things to level up your skills without your partners seeing you do it, but this is a co-op game. Why would I not want my partners to be effective?
With zero context this game looks like a decent indie type small game. But when you realize that it’s part of a triple A trilogy, that’s when the confusion and slight anger starts to roll.
I remember Noah Gervais describing the plot and characters as being a "America seen through Fox News" or something to that effect, and frankly it does sound like a CoD plot, something like "Call of Duty: Modern Frontier" or something.
You are literally the only TH-cam gaming channel that knows about guns. You knew the M24 had an internal magazine. I can't think of another youtuber who knows that.
I remember playing Bound in Blood and loving it, then seeing this thinking "oh, cool a new one". Got it. Hated it. Returned it a few days after, didn't even bother finishing it.
I remember being 14 when this game came out and watching a co op playthrough from some of my favorite TH-camrs at the time; was one of my favorite series for the longest time.
I came here for one reason I need to know why is the comments disabled on the far cry ranking I loved it and I wanted to say we need a full far cry blood dragon game
This was one of two games me and my sister decided to rent from a Redbox way back when it first came out, the other being Brink. In hindsight, we were 0 for 2 on good games to get from Redbox.
What's even worse is that the developers thought that people would beat this game *for 3 times!!!* to see this story from different angles. I mean, who the f@ck even replayed this game more than once? LOL, it's hard to finish this game even for the first time, so awful it is.
In my opinion the biggest mistake was not realizing that Call of Juarez biggest strongpoint was that it works well with the western cowboy setting wich they ditched here
Bound in blood was a gem I really felt it when I saw the next sequel I just couldn't trust developers anymore this was a cash grab attempt at best with no heart
You nailed it. An under baked and mediocre shooter full of thoroughly unlikeable assholes. I played it through three times for the achievements, unfortunately. Techland really redeemed themselves with Gunslinger.
Actually, how could Ben McCall be possibly Ray's descendant? Ray died without having wife let alone acknowledged children. He probably made pregnant some random girl before becoming a priest, but we don't have any evidence of such child's existence, nevermind claim for surname. And the only child of Thomas was Billy, but apparently his biological father was Juan. So Billy probably inherited the name of McCall legally, but he couldn't inherit McCall genes, even if all Billy's children turned up looking caucasian thanks to his wife. So there is no reason for Ben to have any resemblance with Ray, even if he is a legal McCall.
Unless, some poor sheriff's daughter raised her child alone and that child was registered with McCall's surname, by mother's initiative, and had to start family history from nothing, without even knowing about his father's and uncle's fate, as well as about stepbrother. But that's just a speculation.
Bound in blood was amazing. The cartel was really generic and lame. The fact you had to unlock weapons via level and with no customisation made it a miss for me.
The game that came after this one in 2014 I think it was called gunslinger or something with a Wild West theme, it was a really good game from what I remember.
Hey Jarek, when you are finished with the Call of Juarez series I highly recommend you checking out Dead Island 1 and Riptide for more godly Techland bad games. You can almost say that The cartel and DI1 and Riptide are a trilogy of bad games since they were all developed on the same engine around the same time. DI1 is a memorable experience for me as I played it co-op with a friend on the x360 for way to many hours, had hacked weapons dealing insane amounts of damage and explored every glitch and bug we could find. Note: Do play the pre remastered games as the remaster is even worse in its own ways. Fun facts: Hacked weapons can launch cars into the air, its hilarious. (Shotgun is the best for this) If you hit cars in specific areas with weapons, instead of your normal hit vfx so will you instead get a water vfx, as if you was hitting water. While running, look at your characters shadow, the running animation is just so bad its hilarious they let this be as it is. Know that resort hotel you get the armored truck from? Yes you can climb it, just need an ridiculous amount of crates to be able to get on the roof. There exist a duplication bug in at least DI1 which if you play coop and have one player shot at a weapon on the ground meanwhile you then pick it up, you will get a dupe. These games are just filled with bugs, but was extremely fun with a friend just playing it for what it is. The Cartel however just sucks... Glad they once again showed they can make good games with Dying light.
This is a pretty fun game to play on a lazy weekend while drunk. The writing, character models and story pacing is so bad that it's somehow entertaining 😂
@@xCHEESEandHAMx I thought it was an interesting premise. Although, the execution I think could have been better. But, I got it for cheap so I enjoyed it for what it was.
I always played the demo on 360 and since I could never find it in a shop and I wasn't allowed to buy stuff online I was sad, then I saw it for sale for £0.79 on steam like 4 years ago and I was like yoooo
You're in for a treat, both for Three Houses and Gunslinger. Gunslinger is one of the most satisfying and fun FPS games I ever played and Three Houses really rebuilt the whole FE experience from the ground up and is already my favorite entry (I haven't even beaten the first run yet).
I'll be honest, I only have this game because it was attached to a local gaming magazine at one point so I played it a bit with friends... we had more fun when we collectively picked up Aliens: Colonial Marines from a $2 bin in the supermarket. Cartel is just so utterly forgettable.
Same. I also liked the idea of an FPS centered around drug cartel wars, as games like that are pretty rare. Sure, there was Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel and Ghost Recon: Wildlands, but those are third-person shooters.
Honestly, a CoJ game about Ben McHall in Vietnam would have been more interesting. There would have been some parallels between the old wests lawlessness and... well, the Vietnam War
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 Okaaaay? Yes, Tomtomed didn't mention GTA V. At all. Did you see him praising it as flawless? Do you think he supports the use of Caps lock in GTA V? Did he say that he did? But yes, it's universally a bad button to use and should be quickly rebound to something else. If it was the default for GTA 5 (been so long, I didn't even realize) then it's still a bad bind.
Me: Yay! Jerek has a new video up, lets hear what he has to say about this game Jarek: *starts talking about technical stuff in game* Me: Wow Jerek is really smart about computer stuff...not sure what any of it means really. Jerek should be a teacher
I actually didn't think this game was all that bad. I'm surprised you didn't mention the horrendous DOF though. That was my biggest issue visually. I also used nvidia for AA, and ReShade to make it look a lot better. In that same Data0.pak file, I also tweaked my jump height, so I can clear railings and small obstacles, and you can also fix the shotguns accuracy there, if you change it to 0.02 or 0.03 it's more like how a shotgun should be. I'm interested to see what you say about Gunslinger though. I personally hated it. I've owned it for years and have tried going back to it 3 or 4 times, and I have about 3 hours logged in total. One of the issues with gunslinger is that they don't just let you play the damn game... You'll get maybe a 5 minute peice of play before you're constantly being teleported around, and made to do something again, but from a different angle. And you'll RARELY go 30 seconds without someone narrating.... Its endless... And if you're not totally invested in the story, then it becomes really annoying. And if things like the charging handle on the FAL bugged you in the cartel... just fuckin wait until you get the lever gun in gunslinger... The reload animation is a really special kind of stupid. I might have to check out the stream to see your reaction on that one. And once again with gunslinger, you'll have to jump through a few hoops to fix the FOV, and the black borders.
Well good news Jerek, your onto the best of the series. The final game that let this up and down franchise ride out into the sunset. You get to me Silas next... your gonna remember that name.
Honestly didn't mind the game in concept and in some bits of gun play was fun including with friends I know someone is gonna tell me how can you like bad games? Guess I was a weird guy who enjoyed it I played on PS3 and met also some of my better friends and the game was pretty fun for dual wielding guns and causing a bit of chaos I also liked how each character started with better fire arms and accuracy with those guns also I loved the coop secret eye feature where your partners were tasked to do shady shit to get better fire arms and I usually played the good cop catching everyone in the playthrough 1 and 2nd time around I try and do em as sneaky as possible
If anyone is wondering about the music, it's from a game titled "LEGENDARY". th-cam.com/video/SgbHTvpUGVc/w-d-xo.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendary_(video_game)
I remember picking this up used from GameStop for like $5 with no prior knowledge, putting the disk in, and realizing 30 seconds in this garbage fire was unplayable
Hey, i´m late for the party, but my friend and I got this game the same way you did and we played it on coop, it works and it was pretty fun for some laughs. Great vid!
So, how about some ideas? (I'm extremely lacking in Call of Juarez lore, so I'll mostly be leaving out the previous two games.) Benjamin McCall: Current male heir to the McCall family fortune. The family bloodline goes all the way to the Wild West days, but they've dropped that from local history books and computer records for some time. While the McCall's can get pretty violent when they want to or when they're in a bad mood, they tend to stay away from direct violence when commiting crimes. Instead, they usually hire lower tier gangs and other bad folks to get their jobs done while they stay in their Phoenix, Arizona estate. Benjamin didn't really do this. He was considered unusual in his family in that he personally wanted to get the jobs done even at the risk of violence and also preferred to do so with a partner or something to that end. This came in especially well when Benjamin was drafted for the military during the midst of the Vietnam War, where he was well documented for mostly relying on his Python revolver to take out enemy troops along with stolen RPD Machine Guns. He also showed promise with the M1911 semi-automatic pistol; all of it earning him the nickname "Sheriff of Vietnam" mostly in reference to his custom Python and how he seemed to look straight out of the Wild West era during some parts of the war. After coming back from the war in the early 1970's, he had already learned about friendship and other things that his family did NOT like at all. They threatened to kill him as a way to "cleanse his body of this illnesss" like all delusional families do. In response, Benjamin drew his Python, lowered his cowboy hat, and went on a murder spree killing everybody with his trusty revolver. By the end of the event, his entire family was laying dead spilling pools of blood on the rich carpet and fancy woodwork in the main foyer and basement. He then took a lit cigar from his grandfather's bloodied mouth, poured some gasoline all over the foyer, and threw the cigar into the liquid, lighting the mansion ablaze. However, it was later revealed in 1976 that one of his siblings survived the event, but only time would tell if they went down the same criminal path he once did. In September 1980, he left Arizona and headed for Los Angeles, California. He joined the LAPD 3 years later, serving as part of LAPD SWAT for 30 years until today. He still has no clue who the remaining sibling is, but at this point he hardly cares who it is as long as they don't end up down the same criminal path.

For example, there was a driving segment that gave you an objective marker well said marker vanished and I got completely turned around to the point where I was driving out of the games boundary and all that there was was the skybox
I actually enjoyed this game when I was a kid, but we enjoy a lot of things as kids. If I played it now I think I’d hate it, it’s a stain on the series. But at least it makes me appreciate the masterpiece Bound In Blood more
I thought I was watching some Vampires The Masquerade Bloodlines footage when you got to the part about the dancing. Like, goodness, that's hilarious.
Great video mate,. I enjoy your content.
It's a good thing they came back 2 years later with Gunslinger. That shit was 🔥🔥🔥
that bloom legit hurt my eyes
The weapon models hurt my eyes too.
The game itself hurt my eyes
The blue hurt my eyes
I think when I was in Mexico a long time ago visiting I accidentally made the mistake of renting this game... needless to say it left a poor taste in my mouth after beating so I ended up buying bound in blood after returning home...
I remember the multiplayer being 100x more fun then the single player in this
"I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh..."
-Ben McCall
Who the hell wrote this?
"And I will bathe in the blood of my MOTHERFUCKING enemies... or something like that" dont forget that
Deuteronomy 32:42
It's actually in the Bible, Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 32, verse 42.
its literally from the bible, brainlet
@@Camo-un8ee Yeah, remember when God himself threw a MF-bomb? Lmao
I remember picking this up at Gamestop on release day for $60 (OUCH) I was 11, I liked the other games so I figured it be fun. I beat the game in 4 hours, and went back to Gamestop where they told me I'd get $25 for the trade in. It was the first time I'd experienced a pure shit game, and felt robbed of $60.
I played this game like 2 years ago and the whole time I played it I had a bad headache
The secret objectives thing never made sense to me. So you're supposed to do these things to level up your skills without your partners seeing you do it, but this is a co-op game. Why would I not want my partners to be effective?
With zero context this game looks like a decent indie type small game. But when you realize that it’s part of a triple A trilogy, that’s when the confusion and slight anger starts to roll.
Meanwhile call of juarez 2 kicked ass especially online. shame it was so niche and short lived.
I remember Noah Gervais describing the plot and characters as being a "America seen through Fox News" or something to that effect, and frankly it does sound like a CoD plot, something like "Call of Duty: Modern Frontier" or something.
You are literally the only TH-cam gaming channel that knows about guns. You knew the M24 had an internal magazine. I can't think of another youtuber who knows that.
I CANNOT be the only person that liked this game.
yeah i legit loved it. Played all 3
i like this game like i like call of juarez bound in blood
First call of juarez I played
for me:
1. gun slinger
2. bound in blood
3. call of juarez
4. the cartel
For me i was fun to play
I remember playing Bound in Blood and loving it, then seeing this thinking "oh, cool a new one". Got it. Hated it. Returned it a few days after, didn't even bother finishing it.
22:26 does that FAL have a 5.56 mag? wtf
Dear god
that monstrosity
There are some Imbel rifles like that just saying
Could an IMBEL MD2.
Doesn't look like an imbel tho
Well i missed the stream because my pup was hit by a car, she seems completely fine (i always called her supergirl and she proved that)
I'm glad shes doing a heckin good.
williejames huff the fuck is wrong with you
@williejames huff hahaha hero
@williejames huff woah, try not to cut yourself on that edge there, buddy.
@@tofuelemental6920 His parents never loved him.
You can tell this game was on the same engine as dead island.
I remember being 14 when this game came out and watching a co op playthrough from some of my favorite TH-camrs at the time; was one of my favorite series for the longest time.
The camera automatically kept shifting to the left on my PS3 version for some reason made it almost unplayable.
You’re using Legendary’s menu theme! Love that damn song.
Wait.. those dancemoves... (7:17)
Did they somehow copypasted the Perfect Dark Zero dance animations? It is literally the same move
Oh my god
I remember I went to rent this game for a week but it gave me bound in blood instead. I think I was blessed
I came here for one reason
I need to know why is the comments disabled on the far cry ranking I loved it and I wanted to say we need a full far cry blood dragon game
Subbed for the reciprocating FAL charging handle 👍
This was one of two games me and my sister decided to rent from a Redbox way back when it first came out, the other being Brink.
In hindsight, we were 0 for 2 on good games to get from Redbox.
Brink was good 😡 except for the weird "mama" faces
@@TellYouSomethinMan Eh, I was stuck with the singleplayer and the dumb AI that comes with it.
I still think I would give a try. Simply because of how rare modern day singleplayer shooters in an Urban setting are
One bullet at a time!? What the hell? That makes absolutely no fucking sense!?
I wolder who told the developers that changing the wild west atmosphere would be a great idea in game mostly known for wild west atmosphere?
I just noticed that when you reloaded the AK and Bolt action sniper they reloaded the exact same way as dead island riptide.
Same engine and same developer,my friend.
Not just those but almost all weapons. It even plays like dead island, didn't you noticed that?
What's even worse is that the developers thought that people would beat this game *for 3 times!!!* to see this story from different angles. I mean, who the f@ck even replayed this game more than once? LOL, it's hard to finish this game even for the first time, so awful it is.
In my opinion the biggest mistake was not realizing that Call of Juarez biggest strongpoint was that it works well with the western cowboy setting wich they ditched here
Bound in blood was a gem I really felt it when I saw the next sequel I just couldn't trust developers anymore this was a cash grab attempt at best with no heart
You nailed it. An under baked and mediocre shooter full of thoroughly unlikeable assholes. I played it through three times for the achievements, unfortunately. Techland really redeemed themselves with Gunslinger.
Actually, how could Ben McCall be possibly Ray's descendant? Ray died without having wife let alone acknowledged children. He probably made pregnant some random girl before becoming a priest, but we don't have any evidence of such child's existence, nevermind claim for surname.
And the only child of Thomas was Billy, but apparently his biological father was Juan. So Billy probably inherited the name of McCall legally, but he couldn't inherit McCall genes, even if all Billy's children turned up looking caucasian thanks to his wife. So there is no reason for Ben to have any resemblance with Ray, even if he is a legal McCall.
Unless, some poor sheriff's daughter raised her child alone and that child was registered with McCall's surname, by mother's initiative, and had to start family history from nothing, without even knowing about his father's and uncle's fate, as well as about stepbrother. But that's just a speculation.
Hey, everyone! Jarek the FOV Dragon here
Before Playing Gunslinger you should Watch the Trailer, thats what got me hooked cause the music was god tire
r/boneappletea.
Gunslinger is a pretty great game imo, changes some things up so can’t wait to see what you think
Trust me dude, that guy dancing in the bar is way better than my dancing
Bound in blood was amazing. The cartel was really generic and lame. The fact you had to unlock weapons via level and with no customisation made it a miss for me.
A game about Mexican cartels with a consultant who knows what the fuck he’s talking about would be absolutely fascinating to play.
lmao the slow mo buller casing
The game that came after this one in 2014 I think it was called gunslinger or something with a Wild West theme, it was a really good game from what I remember.
2013*
Hey Jarek, when you are finished with the Call of Juarez series I highly recommend you checking out Dead Island 1 and Riptide for more godly Techland bad games. You can almost say that The cartel and DI1 and Riptide are a trilogy of bad games since they were all developed on the same engine around the same time. DI1 is a memorable experience for me as I played it co-op with a friend on the x360 for way to many hours, had hacked weapons dealing insane amounts of damage and explored every glitch and bug we could find. Note: Do play the pre remastered games as the remaster is even worse in its own ways.
Fun facts:
Hacked weapons can launch cars into the air, its hilarious. (Shotgun is the best for this)
If you hit cars in specific areas with weapons, instead of your normal hit vfx so will you instead get a water vfx, as if you was hitting water.
While running, look at your characters shadow, the running animation is just so bad its hilarious they let this be as it is.
Know that resort hotel you get the armored truck from? Yes you can climb it, just need an ridiculous amount of crates to be able to get on the roof.
There exist a duplication bug in at least DI1 which if you play coop and have one player shot at a weapon on the ground meanwhile you then pick it up, you will get a dupe.
These games are just filled with bugs, but was extremely fun with a friend just playing it for what it is. The Cartel however just sucks... Glad they once again showed they can make good games with Dying light.
This was made by Techland? Or just published?
@@dogerio The Call og Juarez games where made by them and published by Ubisoft. Dead Island was also made by them but published by Deep Silver.
@@jvc85 oh I was just surprised concidering that they did make at least 1 good game
The fact that the gunplay looks like Dead Island really tells how crappy it feels
It's the same engine.
And Dead island isn't meant to have good gunplay since it's mostly melee based
and I got NecroVision because of your review, and I was extremely happy w/ it
Necrovision is the fucking shit
NecroVision is so underrated
THIS, gentlemen... THIS is what happens when you chase fads like COD. You become another "Medal of Duty: Modern Warfighter Ops".
Call of Duty: Shoot a Man
This is a pretty fun game to play on a lazy weekend while drunk. The writing, character models and story pacing is so bad that it's somehow entertaining 😂
Is that the music from Legendary?
Man I love that game tbh
I see you are a man of culture. I immediately thought of the same thing as soon as I heard it as well.
It was a good game
@@xCHEESEandHAMx I thought it was an interesting premise. Although, the execution I think could have been better. But, I got it for cheap so I enjoyed it for what it was.
I always played the demo on 360 and since I could never find it in a shop and I wasn't allowed to buy stuff online I was sad, then I saw it for sale for £0.79 on steam like 4 years ago and I was like yoooo
@@xCHEESEandHAMx I also bought it on Steam. It was fun while it lasted.
You're in for a treat, both for Three Houses and Gunslinger. Gunslinger is one of the most satisfying and fun FPS games I ever played and Three Houses really rebuilt the whole FE experience from the ground up and is already my favorite entry (I haven't even beaten the first run yet).
I'm extremely skeptical because I hate the weeb shit FE has turned into
its crazy i remember this game first dropping always telling myself i was gonna get it. Now look how it turned out
I'll be honest, I only have this game because it was attached to a local gaming magazine at one point so I played it a bit with friends... we had more fun when we collectively picked up Aliens: Colonial Marines from a $2 bin in the supermarket. Cartel is just so utterly forgettable.
I like the idea of a modern western.
Hopefully one day a game will do it well.
Same. I also liked the idea of an FPS centered around drug cartel wars, as games like that are pretty rare. Sure, there was Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel and Ghost Recon: Wildlands, but those are third-person shooters.
Finally. A gamer that actually knows his guns . Great vid!
Honestly, a CoJ game about Ben McHall in Vietnam would have been more interesting. There would have been some parallels between the old wests lawlessness and... well, the Vietnam War
Also makes a sin of using caps lock, no one wants to turn the caps light on to do something
tomtomed1 Gta 5 make you use caps lock to use special abilities but no one talked about that?
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 Okaaaay? Yes, Tomtomed didn't mention GTA V. At all. Did you see him praising it as flawless? Do you think he supports the use of Caps lock in GTA V? Did he say that he did?
But yes, it's universally a bad button to use and should be quickly rebound to something else. If it was the default for GTA 5 (been so long, I didn't even realize) then it's still a bad bind.
Yawyna124 Yeah I know he didn't mentioned gta 5 but I still said it.
Why it is bad and why it bothers people? I don't understand.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 There's literally nothing wrong with using caps lock. This person is just ocd
Me: Yay! Jerek has a new video up, lets hear what he has to say about this game
Jarek: *starts talking about technical stuff in game*
Me: Wow Jerek is really smart about computer stuff...not sure what any of it means really. Jerek should be a teacher
Fun fact the gun animations are recycled in the first two dead island games, 1 and Riptide but those games are not nearly as bad as this
thats mostly cause its made by thr same people
I actually didn't think this game was all that bad. I'm surprised you didn't mention the horrendous DOF though. That was my biggest issue visually. I also used nvidia for AA, and ReShade to make it look a lot better. In that same Data0.pak file, I also tweaked my jump height, so I can clear railings and small obstacles, and you can also fix the shotguns accuracy there, if you change it to 0.02 or 0.03 it's more like how a shotgun should be. I'm interested to see what you say about Gunslinger though. I personally hated it. I've owned it for years and have tried going back to it 3 or 4 times, and I have about 3 hours logged in total. One of the issues with gunslinger is that they don't just let you play the damn game... You'll get maybe a 5 minute peice of play before you're constantly being teleported around, and made to do something again, but from a different angle. And you'll RARELY go 30 seconds without someone narrating.... Its endless... And if you're not totally invested in the story, then it becomes really annoying. And if things like the charging handle on the FAL bugged you in the cartel... just fuckin wait until you get the lever gun in gunslinger... The reload animation is a really special kind of stupid. I might have to check out the stream to see your reaction on that one. And once again with gunslinger, you'll have to jump through a few hoops to fix the FOV, and the black borders.
Same here. I had fun with The Cartel
Well good news Jerek, your onto the best of the series. The final game that let this up and down franchise ride out into the sunset. You get to me Silas next... your gonna remember that name.
Woah - I never knew you had a gaming channel Jarek! Used to watch your airsoft vids back in the day and this is super cool to see
God, the game so bad i got bored hearing about it's commentary!
And you played through it!
My condolences
Honestly didn't mind the game in concept and in some bits of gun play was fun including with friends I know someone is gonna tell me how can you like bad games? Guess I was a weird guy who enjoyed it I played on PS3 and met also some of my better friends and the game was pretty fun for dual wielding guns and causing a bit of chaos I also liked how each character started with better fire arms and accuracy with those guns also I loved the coop secret eye feature where your partners were tasked to do shady shit to get better fire arms and I usually played the good cop catching everyone in the playthrough 1 and 2nd time around I try and do em as sneaky as possible
If anyone is wondering about the music, it's from a game titled "LEGENDARY".
th-cam.com/video/SgbHTvpUGVc/w-d-xo.html
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendary_(video_game)
I like that you used The Legendary theme
I remember picking this up used from GameStop for like $5 with no prior knowledge, putting the disk in, and realizing 30 seconds in this garbage fire was unplayable
Hey, i´m late for the party, but my friend and I got this game the same way you did and we played it on coop, it works and it was pretty fun for some laughs. Great vid!
So, how about some ideas? (I'm extremely lacking in Call of Juarez lore, so I'll mostly be leaving out the previous two games.)
Benjamin McCall: Current male heir to the McCall family fortune. The family bloodline goes all the way to the Wild West days, but they've dropped that from local history books and computer records for some time. While the McCall's can get pretty violent when they want to or when they're in a bad mood, they tend to stay away from direct violence when commiting crimes. Instead, they usually hire lower tier gangs and other bad folks to get their jobs done while they stay in their Phoenix, Arizona estate. Benjamin didn't really do this. He was considered unusual in his family in that he personally wanted to get the jobs done even at the risk of violence and also preferred to do so with a partner or something to that end. This came in especially well when Benjamin was drafted for the military during the midst of the Vietnam War, where he was well documented for mostly relying on his Python revolver to take out enemy troops along with stolen RPD Machine Guns. He also showed promise with the M1911 semi-automatic pistol; all of it earning him the nickname "Sheriff of Vietnam" mostly in reference to his custom Python and how he seemed to look straight out of the Wild West era during some parts of the war. After coming back from the war in the early 1970's, he had already learned about friendship and other things that his family did NOT like at all. They threatened to kill him as a way to "cleanse his body of this illnesss" like all delusional families do. In response, Benjamin drew his Python, lowered his cowboy hat, and went on a murder spree killing everybody with his trusty revolver. By the end of the event, his entire family was laying dead spilling pools of blood on the rich carpet and fancy woodwork in the main foyer and basement. He then took a lit cigar from his grandfather's bloodied mouth, poured some gasoline all over the foyer, and threw the cigar into the liquid, lighting the mansion ablaze. However, it was later revealed in 1976 that one of his siblings survived the event, but only time would tell if they went down the same criminal path he once did.
In September 1980, he left Arizona and headed for Los Angeles, California. He joined the LAPD 3 years later, serving as part of LAPD SWAT for 30 years until today. He still has no clue who the remaining sibling is, but at this point he hardly cares who it is as long as they don't end up down the same criminal path.
I remember renting this for the 360 played it for like an hour then took it back and forgot about it
Gunslinger is insane. I hope we get a sequel one day.
I remember that I enjoyed this game a lot on the XBOX 360...
I remember vividly buying this, going home, playing for like an hour, and driving back to the store to return it. It was that bad.
Damn it's rare for someone to know what the hell their talking about with guns
you sir have just gained a sub. love your content and strength to even play bad games like this. keep up the good work
I forgot about this game until TH-cam recommended me this.
