Breja: From all I heard it's pretty damn bad, but I have to admit I'm still curious about it.
Wottie: In that case, don't forget to give it a push in the Dreamlist. Not that it would be a game that I'm really dreaming of, but with 253 votes at the time of my voting it's not something with which GOG could signal a huge interest in bringing the game back.
I voted for it. Not that I have much faith in the Dreamlist.
Wottie: I'm a completionist, so even though I'm somewhat interested in the CoJ series, no Cartel means no Juarez at all for me.
I can somewhat relate (in order to play Doom 2016 when it released here I decided to play them all first, starting with the original) but in this case I think that's taking it a bit too far. It's such an outlier in the series, there's really no point denying yourself all the other, by all indications vastly superior, games because of it. You could argue it's more of a spin-off than proper part of the series anyway. It's a bit like deciding to watch no Star Wars movies because you can't get The Book of Boba Fett.
Plus it's chronologically the last one, co you might as well play the other ones waiting for it.
