There has to be an addendum with the lore from the DS version of this game, you straight up see the Kaftar transforming from man to beast in a cutscene in it, you see its silhouette stalking you in Alaska, and we get flashbacks to Samson whipping and training hyenas to hunger for human flesh. Also, a weird detail is that while in the PS3 and Xbox versions of 2011, the Kaftar has both eyes, the Wii one has it missing one eye. The same eye Samson is missing...
Yea the whole time I was watching this video I felt it was obvious that Samson is the Kaftar. Really surprised Mandalore didn't seem to allude to/pick up on that? They talk about it being a werewolf like creature, they talk about how it ate Samson's heart and cursed him, Samson clearly lured Cole to Uganda in order to pass on the curse, even talks about killing him... idk it seemed really obvious to me.
@@AlozarLorandul He did question that in an old vod were he played this game. I'd assume he either forgot that while working on this video, or he might have changed his mind on it while looking further into the game.
@DarkHenrik1 given how someone mentioned an actual Yeti fight on the game that predates this, maybe Mandy is planning on doing a trilogy and then a lore theory timeline, and then he will mention these details there
Its hard to notice but in the xbox and PS3 version the kaftar also has his left eye damaged, but only on the final fight (you can get a good look at 43:09), the one from the intro has both eyes, same goes to the dad back then, so I gotta wonder if thats the same kaftar, or the dad killed the kaftar and then was cursed like Mbeki said and became the next Kaftar. Gotta commend the devs for going this fucking wild on a plot about a licensed hunting game, and Cabela for giving it the thumbs up.
When I heard the younger brother say "Alone if i have to" it triggered something in me. I looked it up and...it's Jason Spisak, the voice of Vulpes Inculta from New Vegas. Once you realise it, it's impossible to unhear.
When Rainsford dad talks about his family history he sounds like he's on the verge of grasping some truely Lovecraftian revelation but his mind can't quite comprehend it yet

Cabela’s having lore more arbitrary & confusing then most H.P Lovecraft settings while also having one man with a fiery hate against nature itself and wiping out entire species with nothing more then a 308. is amazing and I wish we would have supported it so we could get a modern sequel.
Fun Fact: The family's last name "Rainsford" is a nod to The Most Dangerous Game. I guess it implies that this family has descended from the original man who was hunted for sport? Maybe General Zarof from that story was the original Kafta?
Eating the raw heart of your first kill is a real hunting tradition. You can find lots of bizarre facebook posts where people post photos of their preteen children chowing down on a deer's raw heart, crouched over the kill like Gollum. It's... something.
b r u h. You run in some weird circles. Everyone I know and their children hunt and I've never seen this. I couldn't even in good conscience suggest it to my child when I take her on her first hunt, I feel like that could cause some kind of trauma.
Mandy, you have no idea how much my face lit up when I saw this in my subscription feed with the simple joy of saying "He Made Another One!" This series feels like one of your true perennial classics, and I've probably watched it a silly number of times over the last year.
Wait, is this the one where you have a gunfight with a swarm of monkeys in a Resident Evil lab that was trying to reverse-engineer a cryptid’s ability to control animals? EDIT: OH YES IT IS
It could be British military base in Uganda, it was their colony till the 60s after all. Kinda fits with the lore, too. Secret facility to study horrific things as weapons during Cold War.
I was hoping you'd do this, since I think it's even wilder than that other Dangerous Hunts game. The demon shadow wolf that consumes your brother and the primordial hyena who half-possesses your father gives it that edge over the other one IMO.
It seemed HEAVILY implied to me, and another commenter on this video said in the DS version they make it much more obvious. Also apparently the Kaftar model in the Wii version is missing the same eye that Samson is. Who knows why they didn't explicitly say it but I feel that it was all but outright said in this video that he is the Kaftar, and it also explains why the whistle could be heard in Alaska.
@@AlozarLorandul Legit, thinking on this, it wouldn't be too out there to assume that, it might have been a concept that they might have walked back on during development, as at times, handheld games will some times use the discarded or early concepts of the main console games during their development. So picture this, during development of the console game, they might have originally intended on having a more supernatural origin of the Kaftar. Only to either get cold feet or some higher up shooting down the idea because they wanted it to be more "realistic".
"But how many animals have you saved?" "Do you feel like a conservationist yet?" Sweet CHRIST, I'm not a fan of Spec Ops: The Line, but those quotes, especially in this context, still hit like a truck.
@@ДмитрийФоменко-д2к Ever since Mandalores review introduced it to me, it's become like my favourite game of all time, so for me was like a falsh of instant, deep rooted recognition
It's funny Mandy did that MGS5 reference when he did, I had a "huh this is giving me MGS vibes" right before that. Though then again, the pool of games where you bumble around in Africa heavily armed and dealing with seemingly supernatural bullshit exists but is fairly small. Though I gotta say, fighting your way through a burning, nocturnal savanna while being hunted by hoards of possessed animals is one of the most badass settings for a game I've ever heard of.
@@joshuadarrowI wouldn’t say that considering the first cabela’s “dangerous game” IS just a normal hunting game where the animals can hurt/kill you and not some crazy on the rails cryptid hunt/wildlife genocide
10:15 I can confirm biting the heart of the first deer/elk/big thing you ever kill is a longstanding hunting tradition. It comes from some native american tribes, it's supposed to bring you the power of the animal or get you closer to the wild or something. I remember this because my grandpa used to take me hunting, and the first time I went one of his buddies (who was a native guy) shot a deer and basically dropped the heart in my lap and said "eat this" and all the adults looked at me expectantly. I didn't kill it, I was like 10 and I had no idea how to talk my way out of it so I did it. Then I never wanted to go hunting again, lmao
I’m sure the kind of people who force their kids to do that have conducted very deep and nuanced studies about Native American history and religion and are definitely respectfully emulating something that they know is real and can accurately trace to a genuine tribe.
I watched the VoD of this game’s stream a while back, and I was just blown away. Like I said in the comments of that video, 2013 may be more absurd in its scale and presentation, but it doesn’t even come close to the actual insanity of 2011’s story. I strongly recommend watching that VoD to see some of Mandalore’s raw reactions to this nonsense. He thought the Baboon was about to slide him the tape recorder and it would have terms on it.
So it’s worth mentioning that the Super Soldier Baboons are based on Olive Baboons, while 2013 had baboons based on Hamadryas Baboons, which means there’s two different groups of giant baboons
so in an at first seemingly sensible setting, the hunters are eating hearts and may be summoning demons, I feel like if Mandalore continues down Cabela's rabbit hole, we are going to find out they were droods all along
6:50: Hold up. 200 years? Alaska was a Russian colony until 1867, only 134 years before this scene. So were the Reinsfords a bunch of Russians who stuck around after Russia left America to the USA? And they stole customs from the local tribes, and say the land is "in their blood"? And at least in recent generations, they spend a roughly equal amount of time in Uganda? Never mind the demon vampire wildlife, the Reinford family has tons of lore to unpack.
Gotten roughly halfway through (25:57) and to stop to say this video and game feels like the ramblings of a madman who knows something we don’t. The implications of every encounter gets more insane than the last. This series and the two videos is like looking at something we as a species shouldn’t know nor do we understand. It’s glorious, but awful at the same time. Thank you Mandalore for taking a plunge into this insane series, now I’ll watch the rest.
27:50 Yeah... a lot of animals (including humans) kill for pleasure. Look up Surplus Killing. Most cats, bears, canines, some apes, dolphins, ravens...
I like to think that the Black Lion King is more of a successor or fanatic to the Kaftar, a lion formerly under its control wanting to either finish what it started or try and become greater than it now that there is a power vacuum
I literally watched dangerous hunt 2013 video last night for like the 4th time cause it’s so damn funny and was wishing you done the 2011 dangerous hunt. Then I get back home and see this as a notification, I damn near cried. Thank you
Regarding the offhanded comment that someone bought this game for his grandfather, as if it would somehow be just *too much* for the old guy, I'm reminded of Old Man Murray. "Let's face it, in at least one of our last three or four wars, your grandpa stood astride the body of a soldier he'd just killed, ripped the woman's heart out for a trophy, and then stared directly into the sun while screaming." If you had no idea what the dad meant by "do it while the blood's still warm." then perhaps you underestimate the old man 😉
Today is my birthday. I've shown my friends the previous Cabela's video several times to get them all in on it. I'm going to pretend this is a birthday gift for me.
I still find it crazy that a licensed game, branded with the name of a giant chain of retail sporting goods stores, has a story. That in and of itself is the devs going the extra mile.
My grandpa plays dangerous hunts 2011 on his Wii every Sunday, and has reached a terminator level of animal killing skill. He stands alone, unchallenged.
"Keep quiet, turn on your headlamps so thye don't know we are coming!" *Immediately illuminates the whole room, and whistles as loud as humanly possible* gosh that sequence made me so confused 🤣
Didn't expect the Cultist Simulator music, but it fit so well I thought it was part of the base soundtrack until I was positive that it actually *was* Cult Sim's OST.
that father dialogue in the beginning may seem strange to unitiated ears but i swear to god some families with a history of hunting have this weird drive to push that stuff on their children so hard while celebrating it as though there is some primal necessity to it. i got yelled at for not having a "killer instinct" more than a few times for not acting animals we were illegally hunting were the VC several times. i just wanted to be friends with da deer. people who shop at cabellas have a 25% chance of talking to their kids like this.
also this may sound insane but i feel like the weirdly antagonistic nature of the predators is reflection of that culture as well. people i grew up around would talk about how they were "shepherds of the herd" and acted like predators were pure evil for killing the animals they claimed to "protect" and "cull".

"Let's face it, in at least one of our last three or four wars, your grandpa stood astride the body of a soldier he'd just killed, ripped the woman's heart out for a trophy, and then stared directly into the sun while screaming."
If you had no idea what the dad meant by "do it while the blood's still warm." then perhaps you underestimate the old man 😉
Today is my birthday. I've shown my friends the previous Cabela's video several times to get them all in on it. I'm going to pretend this is a birthday gift for me.
Seeing this gave me flashbacks of super best friends playing this a decade ago.
Where does the time go?
This game is just one white phosporous mortar section from being the best hunting game of all time
I still find it crazy that a licensed game, branded with the name of a giant chain of retail sporting goods stores, has a story. That in and of itself is the devs going the extra mile.
Cabella's: Madness Returns
Killzone 3 on ps3 with the playstation move is a "rails shooter" with separate "leg" movement.
It's surprisingly intuitive and good.
Yeah,like RE4 Wii Edition or RE5 Move Edition both being really fun... if perhaps "easier" than originally designed.
My grandpa plays dangerous hunts 2011 on his Wii every Sunday, and has reached a terminator level of animal killing skill. He stands alone, unchallenged.
Get him the 2013 verzion
14:58 Mouthwashing mentioned.
Since Mandy has horse realated trauma, that one probably hit especially hard for him.
42:45 This tip by the game is awesome, really stuck with me after all these years. Definitely one of the best shooters of that generation.
Oh my GOD, thank you for pointing that one out
Primaris bear made me laugh a lot more than it should have.
These Cabella games feel like if Far Cry 2 was made by the same DMT writers as Far Cry 3 and 4.
The Ugandan Doom massacre scene was absolutely god tier.
Mister presidente, a second Cabela's Dangerous Hunts has hit Mandaloregaming
10:45 So, the Reinsfords are worshippers of Khorne, got it. Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!
"People bought this game for their grandpa" would have been such a great tagline on the box of these games.
"Keep quiet, turn on your headlamps so thye don't know we are coming!" *Immediately illuminates the whole room, and whistles as loud as humanly possible* gosh that sequence made me so confused 🤣
Didn't expect the Cultist Simulator music, but it fit so well I thought it was part of the base soundtrack until I was positive that it actually *was* Cult Sim's OST.
Kurt Russel ordering me to eat a raw elk heart wasn't on my Halloween checklist this year.
Best Christmas gift I could've gotten for 2011, a new mandalore video
"Feel free to hike back to the lodge and pack your bags. But if you walk away no..."
"Yeah, I'm going back to my non-insane mother."
Cabelas Dangerous Hunt 24: The Quest for Cthulhu
that father dialogue in the beginning may seem strange to unitiated ears but i swear to god some families with a history of hunting have this weird drive to push that stuff on their children so hard while celebrating it as though there is some primal necessity to it.
i got yelled at for not having a "killer instinct" more than a few times for not acting animals we were illegally hunting were the VC several times. i just wanted to be friends with da deer.
people who shop at cabellas have a 25% chance of talking to their kids like this.
also this may sound insane but i feel like the weirdly antagonistic nature of the predators is reflection of that culture as well. people i grew up around would talk about how they were "shepherds of the herd" and acted like predators were pure evil for killing the animals they claimed to "protect" and "cull".
even with that context I'm gonna say it definitely still sounds strange, maybe even more so.
Two videos within 2 weeks makes me concerned that your being held at gunpoint, Lord Mandalore
Watching this playthrough stream live was such a treat. Thanks mandalore!
Greetings mate, have you ever heard of BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3: I OPENED A PORTAL TO HELL IN THE FAVELA TRYING TO REVIVE MIT AIA I NEED TO CLOSE IT? Cheers luv ur content
Mbeke? Sseth is in this game?!
The only thing I know about hyena mating is that they've got a matriarchal social structure & that female hyenas have enlarged, penis-like clitorises. Not sure how common that knowledge is but it's not particularly in-depth
Mandalore sharing my intense fear for the Peter Benchley's Creature is not something I expected. Early 2000s Scifi channel simply hit different.
