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 remember looking at this game at best buy when I was 12 thinking it was Call of Duty Mexican edition...

The dancing animations look like those crappy SFM videos that are purposely bad.

What were the devs thinking? "Let's take our very indentity that defines our franchise and throw it out the window". Thank god for Gunslinger.

the mayor or Governor of Juarez at the time disliked this game's interpretation of the location

I just noticed that this game is running on dead island's engine.

I screamed when he said this game came out 2011. Watching it, I was convinced it was 2007/09 era

This games visuals feel like when you go swimming in a chlorine swimming pool for too long and your eyes get all blurry

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.

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'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.

"So i bet the console players are feeling pretty smug right now" *me who played the game on console prior* No.

Your tenacity for hunting down old games is admirable

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.

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.

A game so bad you got to buy it on G2A.

"I feel bad for anyone who did that" I'm sitting here with a platinum trophy in this game on ps3.

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.

I grabbed this in a bargain bin for £1 and was still disappointed 😂 The glitches and constantly repeated dialogue loops gave me a laugh for a while, but not much else. I remember when gunslinger was released I was so hesitant to buy it. I'm glad I did in the end, it was a fantastic little gem of a game.

Great video mate,. I enjoy your content.

Look up at the sky *Wan* Chingada madre!

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

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?

It's a good thing they came back 2 years later with Gunslinger. That shit was 🔥🔥🔥

that bloom legit hurt my eyes

Gunslinger is definitely the most fun

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 this game was a mix of call of duty and red dead redemption ngl

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.

You are literally the only KZfaq 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 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 CANNOT be the only person that liked this game.

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

The first livestream I saw of you :) It was fun!

I remember being 14 when this game came out and watching a co op playthrough from some of my favorite KZfaqrs at the time; was one of my favorite series for the longest time.

You’re using Legendary’s menu theme! Love that damn song.

I remember the multiplayer being 100x more fun then the single player in this

22:26 does that FAL have a 5.56 mag? wtf

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...

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.

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 played this game like 2 years ago and the whole time I played it I had a bad headache

Trust me dude, that guy dancing in the bar is way better than my dancing

Wait.. those dancemoves... (7:17) Did they somehow copypasted the Perfect Dark Zero dance animations? It is literally the same move

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!

Subbed for the reciprocating FAL charging handle 👍

lmao the slow mo buller casing

Meanwhile call of juarez 2 kicked ass especially online. shame it was so niche and short lived.

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)

A game about Mexican cartels with a consultant who knows what the fuck he’s talking about would be absolutely fascinating to play.

The fact that the gunplay looks like Dead Island really tells how crappy it feels

You can tell this game was on the same engine as dead island.

How could ya forget about EVAAANS? ;p Heheh, it was great attending your stream, man :3

New sub , great channel 🙏🍄🙏

THIS, gentlemen... THIS is what happens when you chase fads like COD. You become another "Medal of Duty: Modern Warfighter Ops".

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).

Hey, everyone! Jarek the FOV Dragon here

Is that the music from Legendary? Man I love that game tbh

I just noticed that when you reloaded the AK and Bolt action sniper they reloaded the exact same way as dead island riptide.

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.

Before Playing Gunslinger you should Watch the Trailer, thats what got me hooked cause the music was god tire

Was waiting for this

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

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 game came out the same year as Dead Island, Techland's first big open world action RPG. Safe to say that's the game that got the most care from Techland at the time. I also almost wonder if the cover with the double barrel was only done because the artist was hoping someone might confuse it with Red Dead Redemption (which basically overtook Call of Juarez as the biggest western game on the market).

8:04 is the music tied to the framerate as well as the dancing. Oh God.

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.

I like that you used The Legendary theme

Hunt down the refund, the prequel

I used to play this when I was lil omg u brought back memories

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.

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?

Ray had a quote, "First impressions are always the most important." My god the irony.

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.

Gunslinger is a pretty great game imo, changes some things up so can’t wait to see what you think

I remember I went to rent this game for a week but it gave me bound in blood instead. I think I was blessed

What's the background music name we hear throughout the video ?

The camera automatically kept shifting to the left on my PS3 version for some reason made it almost unplayable.

and I got NecroVision because of your review, and I was extremely happy w/ it

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

what is the background music you're playing? I would love to hear it in depth

Ive been tryna think of the name of this game for awhile Thanks!

that music in the background is from another game called Legendary: The box. It is the main menu theme. Jarek, if you haven't done so, can you review it? It's actually pretty decent

Finally. A gamer that actually knows his guns . Great vid!

Are you using music from Legendary in this game? That's pretty dope... era-specific...

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.

Subbed and clicked bell just cause of PS1 startup intro. ✌

I want to know what background music is playing?

I don’t know if you have done this game (I couldn’t find a review, anyway): try checking out the game Inversion. I’d like to say it came out just after mass effect 3? Not really sure on that point, but give it a shot if you want. Looking forward to another intriguing video

Is that the soundtrack from legendary in the background ?

Gunslinger is insane. I hope we get a sequel one day.

Love that the music is from Legendary

its crazy i remember this game first dropping always telling myself i was gonna get it. Now look how it turned out

7:25 come on Jarek we all know thats how you turn up in the club XD

That intro is fucking bomb man.

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.

Is it the theme song for Legendary that has been used?

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 remember vividly buying this, going home, playing for like an hour, and driving back to the store to return it. It was that bad.
