I need to remember the awesomely retarded quotes of this game.

"And I saw a pale horse an he who sits upon it and his name is death and he has a bullet with your fucking name on it.''

''I will make nine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh and I will bathe in the blood of my motherfucking enemies...... or something like that.''

This game seems to be Call of Jewarez 2 but even more shit, and the fact that even the mainstream media seems to hate it should give you a good idea how bad it is. Good fucking riddance.

Wtf, it's not even set in the Old West anymore. What's the point? Generic car chase with generic gun and even Angry Joe is shocked.

I remember when I was thinking that if Techland learns from mistakes they did in Chrome they can make a pretty good game (Chrome was already a free approach shooter with quite open maps).

Each new game from them was a decline since.

Fucking potatoes.

They should have stuck to classic western stuff, this is just embarrassing.

If they really wanted to go in the future, they should have tried Cyberpunk or Steampunk setting, and even if the end result (in terms of quality) would be like ''Cartel'', at least that would have been a bit bolder move. But yeah, they should have stayed at classic western.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
The first one was awesome.

The second one was cool but dragged down by the stupid co-op gameplay. When I play a single player shooter I don't want a fucking companion with me all the time ffs :x

And now they've taken out the western setting? What is this I don't even.

Well, I don't know if its a cliche, but I like the idea of X number of morally ambiguous YYYY working together despite not trusting each other sounds interesting. From the looks of it though, I highly doubt this is a quality game.

Christ, I always forget what an absolute idiot Angry Joe comes off as. I'm sure that he has to be smarter than he seems, because god knows he wouldn't even be able to breathe if he weren't.

As for the game...it's kind of a shame. I enjoyed the first CoJ, and there have been plenty examples of Western style stories working outside of that setting. The premise of The Cartel is a pretty strong one, but I have to agree that it looks like a dog after watching some gameplay.
