Every animal in the world wants to kill cabelas-man, so the only self-defense is to drive these beautiful endangered creatures to extinction. So this is a game made by Sand Grain Studios, who I have never heard of. It is about FLINT ABRAHAMS and his quest to kill every animal for revenge-type purposes. Also he is possibly psychic? The LP's video quality will be poor because even though I have the ps3 version the game will only run in standard definitions. UPDATE: Eventually the video quality got better for no apparent reason. Truly Cabelas is a mystery. Anyway here is a spooky bear:  Joining me will be various co-commentators. Please enjoy this video series. VIDEOS: PART 1: Tanzania (featuring Heave) PART 2: Alaska (featuring KalonZombie) PART 3: Ecuador (featuring Heavy Sigh) PART 4: India (featuring Loco and NGDBSS) PART 5: British Columbia (featuring Lesbiathan) PART 6: Congo (featuring Lesbiathan) PART 7: Thailand (featuring Ceciltron and Great Joe) PART 8: Namibia (featuring Mateo360) PART 9: Russia (featuring Heave and Lesbiathan) -- this is the big finale! corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 19:39 on May 25, 2016 |

PART 1: TANZANIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N218OyYzma4 Joining me for this first video is Heave, who did not know what game I was asking him to watch. It also has a short tutorial level in Russia which sets up the game's gripping plot. Please enjoy!

I disagree with the killing of mammals for fun as well as the frankly racist (speciesist?) depiction of the bear on the cover. So of course I'll be watching. EDIT  Flint's demeanor and goals are monstrous. He wants to kill everything on earth for reasons that are as yet unclear, but even the very tenuous motive of "revenge" that ostensibly drives him doesn't hold up, as he was eager to kill that bear even before he realized it had mauled Sergei to death. If he succeeds in killing most of the large mammals that he hunts, he will likely turn his gun on other humans, assuming he hasn't already. The Tanzanian hyenas sensed Flint's malicious nature and that explains their desperate and suicidal attempts at attacking him. Also, this game seems to think that lions (perhaps all non-human animals?) are all members of some sort of terrorist organization. It's really weird. It's all really weird.

Flint comes across like a weird sociopath, even more so than most of the Cabelas protagonists. Like if he just wanted to track down the bear and stop it from killing anyone else, that'd be weird but I guess understandable, but he immediately goes to Tanzania to kill lions for literally no reason. I mean, yeah, the dude in DH 2011 also wants to kill all the animals, but since they actually are the result of a shadowy government cabal it's at least somewhat justified. Sort of. On the other hand, the father in 2011 genuinely acts like a serial killer so it's a give and take situation  Also, Cabelas game boxes are incredible and I love them. Here's the Uncharted ripoff we mentioned:  Spooky!

The game's right, though. It's very easy to make yourself known by killing the right lion. Do all of those Dangerous Hunts games have the same plot?

I love that they sell these games in the same stores they sell actual hunting gear in... something about it is just so... what's the word I'm looking for?

Who on earth thought a hunting game needed a "gripping story"? From what I remember of TotalBiscut's video about...2012? I think? But it gets even worse and more ridiculous.

It's ridiculous to the point where I start to suspect the devs hated the subject matter they were hired to work with and went out of their way to make fun of it. This lack of enthusiasm would also explain the technical issues.

So this is Call of Duty with lions? I didn't know lions could do calculated strategic attacks on human settlements to prevent expansion. No wonder Cabela Man wants to kill them and acquire fame.

According to Wikipedia Sand Grain Studios is a Romanian developer that pretty much only makes Cabela's games, so I wouldn't be surprised if being employed there resulted in a lot of "where did my life go wrong" angst.

By the way, I don't have any set recording schedule so if anyone would like to be in the LP and knows how to do that (i.e. how to use audacity etc) then you absolutely can. Especially since I recorded part 2 today and the audio got all hecked up ruining the recording so we will be needing to do a second take of that. You can live your dream of talking over a guy what shoot bears!

Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katma had Robin Aktin Downes voicing the main character, and it sounded like his dialogue had been recorded through a phone or something, it was that tinny and poor sounding (though his performance was fine). Low quality settings is keeping in with the core staples of the franchise!

The wolves are right to attack you, Cabela Man. The wolves' cause is righteous. Is the "Ranger" character supposed to be a park ranger? Because I don't think a park ranger would risk letting Abrahams loose in his park. I still think the devs were actively trying to make us hate the protagonist. Notice how he never really intends to help people even though all the other characters in the game are endangered by his actions, like causing the lion reprisal raid in Tanzania and the avalanche in Alaska.

When you killed that capybara and fed it to the piranhas I died a little inside. So we can assume that Flint executed the two crash victims immediately after that last cutscene, right? Is that how everyone else read that scene?

Either that or he's thanking them for the idea to hunt animals with a plane next, since that seems to have attracted the jaguars.

Cabelas Man is correct to kill all animals, because animals clearly desire to kill all humans. Not just Cabelas Man, though they fight him plenty, but lions will attack construction workers and bears and mooses (meese?) will engage in ambushes. It's a world very similar to ours, but Cabelas Earth (E-2009 in the Marvel cosmology) is one where animals and humans are in constant warfare. Pets do not exist, as they are animals and thus the enemy. There is only fighting.

I feel like Cabela might not understand nature. Or animals. To whit, from Dangerous Hunts 2011, from a passage delivered by the main character: "I ran towards the sound of the wounded bear, fearing that the grizzly would find my brother before I could stop it." Now, I'm no outdoorsman, but I feel like running towards a wounded grizzly bear is probably on the list of Do's and Don't of hunting, firmly on the Don't list.

Also, a wounded bear is unlikely to be actively looking for that protagonist's brother in our reality, especially if a human did the wounding. That's why this must take place in an alternate Cabela's timeline like Orange Fluffy Sheep said where all non-human animals have coalesced into some sort of ISIS-like terror state, and our only defense is the Cabela Vanguard of bullet-time antiheroes of which Flint is the most This game is basically anti-animal propaganda which I find really weird and depressing and fascinating.
