Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.



Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 is a hunting sim first-person shooter featuring packs of wild animals who hate the main character with a passion. It's also the only shooter where turning your back on the enemy gives you an unbeatable tactical advantage.

I've always loved the casual insanity of these games. "You're a conservationist right?" *5 minutes later* "Shoot them all! Gladly!"

Good god, Cabela's is back.

Watching someone play Cabela's scars up the inside of my brain but I can't look away.

I never know what type of game to expect when you start an LP, except that it'll be interesting.

Also, I like how the hyenas locked you in the basement of the ranger station.

My only experience with Cabela's games is Corn in the Bible's lp of Dangerous Hunts 2009(?) last year but I know enough to get the gist of them.

They follow two basic rules:

1) The protagonist is a callous sociopath the likes of which the world has never seen
2) Every non-human animal on earth is aligned and organized in an effort to kill all humans and especially the protagonist. This might sound evil, but trust me, you'll be rooting for them by the halfway point.

What's really going on in this game is the whole thing is some gun nut's poo poo that didn't happen stories on a hunting forum.

"And then I went on an awesome safari and I killed, like, 80 lions with my desert eagle! Honest!"

I think your character is actually three hundred pounds, that would explain how he keeps falling through things and why he gets winded so quickly.

The crocodile hit and run tactics are great too.

He's just weighed down by the massive sack of pistol ammo he's carrying.

Well that would make sense for the typical American hunter. All we need is for our guide to come back with our ride so we can shoot things from the truck.

So, in that last video alone, our hero killed about 13 spotted leopards, 39 baboons, and 33 adult lions in an area maybe the size of a city block.

At the same time if there are that many of those things in such a small space they kinda need culling, right? :downs:

It could have been more leopards. If you go through the leopard tree forest slowly they nibble at your left arm all the time.
Also, you can stay down by the river until all nearby caves run out of baboons.

So what you're saying is that you've been far too merciful to the indigenous wildlife. Step up your game, man! These species aren't going to endanger themselves!

I have an especially good feeling about this one, and this habit of just arbitrarily shooting around the environment and in the general direction of other people really contributes to the tone.

This game is reminding me of every terrible 70's "NATURE GONE MAD" movie ever like Day of the Animals mixed with terrible 80's style gun fetishism. I think this is as close to that fake VHS movie in Far Cry Blood Dragon. "Monkey see, MONKEY KILL!"

In all seriousness, I'm really enjoying watching this game. The way the animations constantly shift from 1st to 3rd person is actually pretty clever and seamless, and the environments are varied and detailed. If the subject matter was anything besides indiscriminately shooting every animal you come across, they'd have the makings of a decent shooter here.

It is a nice looking game and seems to run pretty smoothly, from what I can tell, so thats not the issue. It's the goofy rear end story and the sports hunter idea of "conservation".
I think all the "humans" in this game are Terminators or something.

You know, whenever there's a Cabela's lp going on I lie awake at night and I think of all the bears that are trying to kill my dad and all the swarms of malicious lions and leopards and wolves everywhere that want nothing more than to overthrow all of human civilization.

I lie awake at night and I think that I should pick up a Desert Eagle and become a conservationist, a real Cabela's Man.

But then I think of all the swarms of hyenas and baboons, and how well organized and fearless they are, and I ask myself, do I have the will and acumen to conserve them before they conserve me?

I don't know. Even in my brightest hour I just don't know.

I think I've figured out what's going on with the animal density: when any animals with that one collector in Mexico become unmanageable, this is what happens to them!
