History YMMV / CallOfJuarezGunslinger

* GeniusBonus: You can see the plot twist coming if you happen to look up the outlaws discussed and notice that [[spoiler:Ben looks just like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roscoe_%22Rustling_Bob%22_Bryant#/media/File:Roscoe_Bryant,_1878.jpg Roscoe "Bob" Bryant]] - although in real life if he had lived he'd presumably be even older-looking after 30 years.]]

* ThatOneBoss: Curly Bill is incredibly [[LightningBruiser fast, tough and can deal out a lot of damage]]. [[EasyLevelTrick Fortunately, climbing onto the cart and using it as cover while taking potshots at him with the rifle can alleviate this a lot]]. The Sundance Kid is basically a T-800 series Terminator. All he does is slowly walk towards you, blasting away with a shotgun, while soaking up an UNBELIEVABLE about of bullets. Hope you held onto some dynamite.

* MagnificentBastard: [[TheGunslinger Silas Greaves]] is a legendary BountyHunter who fought against many famous outlaws, outmaneuvering and defeating nearly all of them. After his brothers were murdered by three bandits, Mr. Ringo, Roscoe "Bob" Bryant, and Jim, Silas embarked on a quest to get enough skills and hunt them down. Crossing paths with historical figures like Billy The Kid, Jesse James, and Butch Cassidy, along the way, Silas outplayed and defeated all of them, [[EscapeArtist escaping every death trap]] he ended up in. Successfully tracking down Mr. Ringo and Jim and killing them in a duel, Silas starts to wonder if he [[HeWhoFightsMonsters became worse than them]], due to killing far more people than his enemies ever had. Finally tracking down Bob in a bar, Silas arrives to tell him the tale of his adventures, specifically to pinpoint Bob among the people. Upon discovering that Bob [[RetiredMonster now leads a peaceful life]], Silas reveals his true identity and, depending on the ending, can either forgive him or carry on with his revenge, killing Bob in cold blood.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** Bob Ollinger's Mean Ass Shotgun gets a graphic novel introduction in the same manner as the high-profile boss-level criminals throughout the game, and gets [[RunningGag repeated reverential mentions]] throughout the next level.
** The fact the game runs on UnreliableNarrator leads to several near fourth-wall breaking moments of exploiting the narrative for a joke or two. One of the most notable examples is at the end of the first level, where the HeroWorshipper of the PlayerCharacter claimed that (based on a DimeNovel he read) the level ended with [[DuelBoss a one-on-one duel]] with Pat Garrett - and then then PlayerCharacter claimed [[ShaggyDogStory that didn't happen at all]], [[OnceMoreWithClarity and rewound the action to just a few moments before the "showdown"]] to tell how it really happened: [[spoiler: he gets [[HeyYouHaymaker cold-cocked]] and [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin arrested by]] Garrett, and [[GreatEscape has to break out of jail]] in the next level.]]
** The mine. After you chased the enemies of the level through the maze of its bowels, you're eventually killed by the fall of an undodgeable mine cart. Cue Silas telling something like: "Of course, that's would have happened if I took this way". Then, the story is rewinded, while Silas takes another way.
** Steve falls asleep during Silas' tale of chasing the Daltons in a swamp (his snores can be heard over Silas' voice). A bit later, Silas messes with the audience by adding Apaches in the area who try to kill you for no reason whatsoever, just to check if Steve was still attentive.
** On the train level, Silas goes off to pee and the level continues with you walking through the same damn train and shooting mooks over and over and over with the audience mumbling about how true he's being until Silas come back.

* FridgeBrilliance: During the second level, Silas expresses his dislike for horses very passionately. [[spoiler:Considering how his brothers (and himself--almost) were executed, it's understandable.]] It also provides in-story justification for the removal of the first two games' horseback riding mechanics in this one.

** The game

* WinBackTheCrowd: ''Gunslinger'' can be seen as specifically designed to make up for the disaster that was ''VideoGame/CallOfJuarezTheCartel''. It's cheap, it tells a fun story that doesn't take itself too seriously, and it went back to its Western roots.
