  The Sinaloa cartel will make you play this game if you owe them money.

  Y'know, the dumb thing about all of the enemies being the same is the fact that they chose the Cartel as the main group. They probably have the most variety out of any criminal organization. Anything from some random guy with his grandad's old service pistol to ex soldiers with better gear and weapons than the actual government.

  I feel like this game&apos;s narrative has potential, just not fully realized. <br>I like the idea of a modern-day Western, similar to Walker Texas Ranger or FX&apos;s Justified. Hell, the cartel narrative backdrop might&apos;ve worked as a simple crime drama, mimicking the writing chops of Rockstar Games.<br><br>It&apos;s a shame that the game turned out like it did, because it had some interesting ideas.

  Quick side note. The military in Mexico is absolutely better armed and trained than the cartels. I live in Mexico and anytime the government actually wants results they get it albeit in a violent matter but they generally come out on top, with fewer casualties, the problem relies on the corruption of politicians who will intentionally side with one cartel or another. Sad state of things because they are absolutely just as vicious as you describe.

  I&apos;m from Germany. In the German Community, there is a YouTuber called AltF4Games. He made some solid Criticism on this Game. The Video is actually still up. The Point of His Opinion on these kind of Shooters is, that CoD was the most Succesful to that Time. Based on that, basically every bad shooter tried to be CoD. From BF3 to a lot of other Games, that just try to copie the same Thing, that is succesful instead of something that could be succesful, but is an Original Project.

  Play this game splitscreen 3 player using nucleus coop, having a blast playing this with my friend. The funniest part is we can caught each other while stealing evidence, and in some part of mission we have a secret agenda that represent our own objective. Really cool gameplay method for a game and its rare to do in coop game while each player have their own perspective in their own objective.

  also just watching your videos I realize why I enjoy them so much. You put so much effort into them, you give great examples of what you love, of what could be changed. All while telling an enticing story!

  I always wanted this game because seeing it on the news from those people that claimed it was the most evil thing on the planet made me want it even more but thank goodness something else came along and took my tension away I still wanna play it though and I’ll pick it up when it’s on sale and I feel like it
