the timeline doesn't match up at all, when would flint abrahams even get the time to legally change his name to samson rainesford and then be an old guy hunting for government super-hyenas over 30 years ago- when does this game take place? are we in space? kill animals

considering 2011 has literal magic in it perhaps he simply time-traveled

Well there's a mysterious spooky whistle noise that causes animals to go berserk and kill Cabela's Man and it is never fully explained whether it comes from the government super-hyenas or is just magic.

This is dumb and was thought up by a hack but I still prefer it because at least it explains the animals' ultraviolent behavior. Cabela's 2009 seems to think that all animals are just inherently evil, all by themselves, as if they somehow evolved to be thoughtlessly aggressive at all times towards anything that moves.

Cabela's 2009 thinks the Humane Society is a criminal organization. Cabela's 2009 thinks Sea World is too nice to its orcas. Cabela's 2009 thinks that the dentist who shot Cecil the lion should have tortured him first. Cabela's 2009 is hostile to all living things.

Nira: "All four of them? How?"
Abrahams: "Well Mr Nira, I used my eyes and I used my ears."
Nira: "No, I meant how and why did you carry them all back here and leave them in one big pile? It seems both impossible and pointless."


Edit: Also, that log crossing mini game might be the worst mini game of all time.

It is pretty drat terrible, yeah. If there's a way to do it without just mashing buttons, I haven't seen it. None of the other advice I could find was at all effective, including the stuff the game tells you.

I'm guessing this level was non-canon to the Cabela's 2009 lore. There's no way Abrahams would leave those tigers alive if he could help it.

Yep! It just sort of... worked today, and I don't have any idea why. So I can't even promise the rest of the game will be in HD!


e: Before anyone asked, it was loving up the graphics even when just plugged into my tv, so it wasnt an issue with my capture equipment. Today I decided to try recording the messed up graphics as a bonus and the game worked perfectly instead :shrug:

Yeah, that actually looks reasonable now, and not just in the "unfucked PS2" graphics way. My guess, given this, is that perhaps the PS3 port was intended to run like this in HD just fine. But when the game shat itself over actually showing that footage and you downsized to SD, their software wasn't downsizing things properly. Or maybe I'm just grasping at straws here?

I feel like Cabela's games are an indication that if they had their way, history would be rewritten entirely. Man does not war with man, he wars with the treacherous beasts of the wild who seek to murder and enslave all of humanity under their hooves and paws.

I got Dangerous Hunts 2013 with card money and its 2.5 hours of story were quite a ride.

My favourite part is that they added a button for turning around and sniping at beasts attacking from behind in bullet time. So, the best way to deal with large packs is to face away from them and wait until they trigger the special shot one by one.

Sold!

I note that several times you shoot a crocodile at point blank range and it says the shot was at like, 60-70 yards.

What happens if they catch you? Does the Gemsbok Ambassador complain about your espionage on the floor of the UN?

I thought that Cabela's just fetishized human-on-nonhuman violence but some of these missions seem to indicate that it's so much weirder and more complex than that.

And of course, the elephants, one of the most chill animals in all of nature to anyone who doesn't start poo poo with them first and easily the least predatory creatures in this game so far, are depicted in this game as roving death reavers who will hunt you down from across the map if they even think you might be there and chew on your bones.

I love how Flint says, "stay here, I'll go for help" then immediately proceeds to keep on hunting the leopard he originally came to kill. Classic Flint.
