Fenimore Fillmore: The Westerner

A fun, nostalgic game from my childhood, especially memorable for it`s Persian dub. After all these years, I finally completed it, but in my opinion, it`s only really worth playing today if you have memories of it.

Game of my childhood. Awesome characters, epic storyline and Czech dubbing.

Childhood game

nostalgie :)

Finally after all these years... I finished the game and saw the ending :') Its the game of my childhood and it was way ahead of its time, even tho dialogues now are a bit too silly, but I still laughed a lot of times. The attention to details is amazing and soundtrack is so climatic. I fully recommend!

Nostalgia

Pros -Basic but pleasant graphics. I thought some of the faces could have done with more texture but I think this was the style they were going for. It reminded me of some earlier telltale point and clicks such as bone out of boneville and tales of monkey island (game-play was similar enough to those titles as well.) - Puzzle design was mostly fine and as expected for this genre, I recognized a few nods to other games such as Sid Meyers pirates and broken sword. A few gotchas such as a character may have asked for something earlier in the game but the game and dialog options for the character never remind you. - Funny dialog and some hilarious animated sequences. - Decent voice acting. - Solid performance (with one caveat, see cons about settings bug) - Story was kind of bonkers but that's almost part in parcel for this genre. -Press END to skip dialog, cut-scene. Cons - The inventory interface works fine but is not really optimized for the amount of items you will pick up. Scrolling is super slow. - Some settings quirks; when I started up the game it seemed to be locked to 24fps. The next time I started the game I was getting 120fps (and the game actually looked better) However after opening and closing the settings screen the game dropped down to 60fps and then opening and the closing the settings screen once more the game dropped back down to 24fps. Restarting again and It was back to 120fps. Not sure what was happening but I'd suggest not opening the settings if you can avoid it. - Some pathing issues, where the character wouldn't go where intended or tell you they couldn't get there, like they just weren't able to walk around the open door or cupboard. - Character seemed to disappear a couple of times but was still in the scene. They eventually came back again after continuing playing. -First person camera used for checking something in finer detail could behave strangely; sometimes the character would randomly turn in a different direction before showing the first person view. - The game is artificially slowed down with resource requirements i.e. there are carrots needed for traveling to different areas and money needed to buy items or complete puzzles to progress the game. You can grow or buy carrots and you find money inside various drawers and closets in the game. You can also get some money from completing some puzzles/tasks. The carrots seem novel and even fun at first but quickly become tedious. The money is not an issue in late game as you will eventually get a lot of it but it can be a real struggle early game because you might spend it on the wrong things and find it difficult to progress. HINT sending telegraphs seem to be good way to make some early money but the game arguably doesn't make that very clear and regardless you may have spent all of your money before you locate the telegraph office and you require some initial money in order to send telegraphs. - Some of the actions taken by the main character will have you question whether they are actually the hero of the story; lots of lying and stealing going on and the whole "plan" you conceive is morally dubious. - No option to show all hotspots as far as I know. - While you can press end to skip dalog, there is no option to skip travel and teleport to the end location as far as I know. So you are stuck with slowly walking across some of scenes

Tja, knapp drei Stunden habe ich durchgehalten. Wild-West-Charme? Ja, sicher. Aber sobald die Dollar aus waren, war auch meine Motivation dahin. Kein Plan, wie es weitergehen sollte – und ehrlich gesagt, wollte ich’s auch nicht mehr wissen. Vielleicht was für Hardcore-Western-Fans, aber ich bin dann mal weitergeritten. 🌵

10 из 10 - Рекомендую! Ностальгия ударила, в то время на старом пк у меня вылетала на одном месте и прохождение было не возможно.

This game is a Monkey Island ripoff that fails to present enjoyable gameplay. There are too many problems, which makes the gameplay unbearable; I don't even know where to start. disorienting fixed 3D camera mechanics and angles, frustrating controls, awkward pathfinding, and some gameplay elements that do not belong to the adventure genre, such as resource management, farming and harvesting vegetables, unskippable and frustrating shoot-em-up arcade and fishing minigames. The game says to press END to skip dialog and cut-scenes, but I just couldn't. There is no manual save, only auto save; the absence of a hotspot display button causes pixel hunting; searching and grabbing objects especially difficult indoors because of the poor navigation setup, inventory management is cumbersome; "insult fights" and drinking games with multiple characters are overused. There is no map with shortcuts, so the main character slowly walks everywhere, and there is too much back and forth that unnecessarily padded out gameplay time. The lack of a hint button could also lead to frustration because, without a text walkthrough, most of the time you have no idea what to do to progress in the story. The main character is also a jobless cleptomaniac; you have to steal one dollar from every drawer and closet in rooms or send a telegram to various people to ask for money because you have to buy some inventory items from a store. The protagonist was introduced to you as a hero in the game's beginning, and you're on a mission to save some people's land from corrupt bad guys, but he also did morally questionable things during the game, such as stealing money from other people's houses, lying to people, forging the sheriff's signature, attempt to rob a bank, hitting a pig's head and making him unconscious for no good reason, and destroying a bridge with dynamite. cartoony 3D background graphics look colorful, characters are quirky and funny, a typical western story about a heroic good cowboy guy and his friends versus some ugly bad cowboy guy and his minions is cliche but enjoyable, cartoony and cinematic cut scenes are well made, character's full-voiced and they sound decent, there are some funny jokes and situations, but unfortunately, all of them can't make up for the tedium of the gameplay. The game also crashed multiple times, and I encountered a bug that caused the main character's head to disappear. Overall, playing this game felt like a chore for me, and unfortunately, I give it a thumbs down.
