Quick Look: Cabela's African Adventures

This reminds me of Afrika for PS3, but with guns instead of cameras.

That picture...

Amazing Toto reference. @vinny, you are a treasure.

Is this the new Sniper Elite game?

The thrill of the hunt... and collecting pieces of a statue!

So this game is Max Payne Goes To Africa.

These types of games are so fucked up now when you consider the massive problem with poachers and creatures going extinct.

Cabela's African Adventures: Fuck Nature

Is it just me or does the sound that plays when he dodges sound exactly like a success sound in Dragon's Lair?

Edit: Nevermind, kept watching and Vinny mentions it.

The straplines on GB videos this week have been out of control. @vinny and @unastrike you're doing incredible work, long may it continue.

Animation style reminded me of this.

@legendarychopchop: Word. Someone should make a game where you hunt poachers.

Finally! A game for assholes.

Vinny + obscure game = amazing content.

Wow, it's like Cabela's Sporting Goods is saying, "We really fucking hate everything! KILL EVERYTHING!"

It was pretty funny seeing the water buffalos come at Hunter McDickerson in increasing waves, though. It was as if there was some evil buffalo mastermind who sent in more and more minions to take on the protagonist of a 1980s martial arts movie.

hahaha

Vinny: "DO MORE!"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

The part where the buffallo crew rounds you up for a 1x1 final battle duel thing is something else

This is just terrible.

I was hoping to see a Quick Look of this. :D

Setting: Africa

White characters: 3

Black characters: 0, mention of "tribes"

Know your audience, Cabela's.

I think I'm supposed to be offended by this game...but I kind of like it?

EDIT: Alright everyone, I've decided. I'm totally into this.

I remember Capela games being about actual hunting, like cruising with an ATV to a quite forest area, luring animals with food and calls and then slowly stalking them until you can shoot them.

Now it's turned in to a call of duty. :(

@razeeverything: "Latest Cabela's game sells over expectations"

O_o I still find this weird that it exists.

Vinny's blurbs are the fucking best.

I almost died during the cutscene...so good

Insert whining about how hunters help control overpopulation so struggling animals have less competition.

At least the rock textures and field looks better than Zelda Wiiu.

This game is ten kinds of fucked up.

I am looking forward to Cabela's Tower Defense.

But does this one support the Fear Master?

These types of games are so fucked up now when you consider the massive problem with poachers and creatures going extinct.

Let's hope not. Killing deer for food is extremely different than rampaging and killing endangered species for pointless reasons.

Yes, I know this is a shitty video game, but still... it's like Postal for the animal world.

I don't know who did the cutscene artwork for this one, but damn do they need a raise. I haven't seen someone capture that just outright "Douche" look in a long time. Barred off gang fights with buffalo aside, that portrait work was something else

My thought too...HOT WHITE WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!! go take care of the helpless locals and do other woman work. She kind of scared me in that first frame.

Now THAT I would play!

Alex comparing this game to Ace Ventura is pretty accurate all were missing is a robot rhino and some monks.

So this game is pretty dumb and I have little interest in shooting up a bunch of animals, or Cabela games, in general.

The premise, however, that Alex was SO infuriated/befuddled by didn't bother me, it was more than I expected, actually. The gun for hire, takes a job from a evil rich guy who wants artifacts that are hidden amongst deadly animals...have you played video games before, this as solid , if not more-so(sadly), of a premise for why someone is killing(however immoral) than we get in many games.

Vinny is pretty hilarious and appreciates the stupidity and silliness of so many of these games. Alex just seems to get mad (and yells) about mistakes and errors with how the games were made, which isn't much fun when you know a game is bad from the get-go, and you just want to appreciate its crazy awfulness.

@the_ruckus: They just didn't get to the part where he crawls out of the Rhino Anus naked

What happened to real hunting games?

Bumblebeetuna

This was a quality quick-look

This game is such a wonderful throwback to the B-tier titles of "old", when devs would given a modest budget and try to put together a full retail game without quite knowing exactly how they are going to accomplish that. I'm so happy they decided to take a look at it.

I haven't played a hunting game for probably a decade but wtf happened to them? Shit got weird folks.

Game of the year 2015.

Wow this game might be one of the most disgusting premises and stories I've come across in a long time. So much white mans burden and racist bullshit.

My god I absolutely lost it during the cut-scene between the dude and the lady. That absurdly smug look on his face coupled with the zoom in was too much for me.

I have such a content backlog now, this is both a compliment and complaint. A complaintment.

This could use a Nemesis system. Buffalo Alpha has been killed, Buffalo captain has been promoted. Pleasure as always fellows. I love GBEast.
