Videogame Review, Big Buck HD Wild for the Arcade (Original Arcade Machine)

The hunting video game is corky.  From playing this hunting game, I can see the errors popping up in different directions here and there and the “high definition” quality is mostly solid.  You also get Bonus Rounds.  The Bonus Rounds have shooting objects such as aliens, diamonds, UFOs, gnomes, fireworks (yes, you can shoot fireworks!), more Atari-like aliens, and even floating animals who are trying to escape a tornado, in the air!  Without the Bonus Rounds, Big Buck HD Wild would be less pleasing and more serious.  It’s especially true when you consider the gun controller.  The gun controller is somewhat realistic; however, at times, I have a hard time shooting bulls and cows, either because of bugs and errors on the animals themselves, the surroundings, or, from funny camera angles that make shooting less real and more messy.  Just getting a Trophy is hard!  A Trophy takes the form of a “boss” animal you fight in the end unless you shoot a cow.  By definition a moose can be considered a “bull” or a “cow” depending on the presence of satellite-bones for the horns on the head.  But, man!  Getting a Trophy is difficult.  I’ve only gotten one trophy prize for the hunt so far.  I’ve spent $10 dollars for about 40 rounds of hunting, including the extra Bonus Rounds that take fantasy forms of exaggerated definitions.  So, I would not just call this game “high definition”.  But the arcade machine is a giant monster of metal and plastic.  Big Buck HD Wild is better than most Playstation 4 (PS4) games and may even be better than my Playstation 5 (PS5) experience to this point in personal history of gaming.  It’s absolutely ridiculous and hilarious to see poor cows getting nearly adopted by UFOs while I’m shooting the UFOs.  Obviously there’s Atari inspiration.  At first, I was thinking that the bonus rounds were just jokes for the demo screen, but, nope!  You really do fight each and every fantasy in the works.  I do think there needs to be more drifting space for the animals.  As quite often is the case, some animals cannot be captured for high score points.  Many animals are basically impossible and are only quarter busters.  Speaking of quarters… I did not use quarters.  I was just using my credit card as payment.  The debit-card/credit-card option is much, much easier.  You need a debit card these days; or else, without a debit card, or even a credit card, you’re tasteless and heading for financial trouble.  Minimum Credit for “card” is $2 dollars.  That gives you 8 rounds of hunting and 2 Bonus Rounds.  Big Buck HD Wild is an arcade machine you can find at TK’s Pizza in Tehachapi, California.  You can probably guess that Tehachapi is a small conservative, Republican town with only a minority of liberal Democrats.  And, yet, for some reason, most parents and children who come to TK’s Pizza restaurant do not know how to use the arcade machines.  The children keep fooling around and only use the gun controller for a Promotion Code screen.  Most customers do not play the game.  From my experience, this is understandable.  I need a lot of courage and determination to play this hunting video game.  The experience is especially better from my past Boy Scout experience and my adult, male body.  “Hunting” for animals in this video game can be rough around the edges and pointless to some laughter.  I’m a Democrat.  Keep in mind that hunting is very necessary in the wild for hungry hunters.  We still find such hunting worlds on Earth.  So, Big Buck HD Wild may be mild and a bit gross, but it’s pretty realistic for what every hungry hunter must do to survive, unless you remember the fiction and fantasy of healthy cave women and silly UFOs.
