Re: Juarez!

Next time.. when creating a thread for a game discussion, include COMPLETE NAME of the game in the thread title. You can include all the funny adjectives you can, but make sure that thread title has complete name of the game.

I'm changing the name now.

Will this game remind me of "Gun" ?

^^ Nope its a different kinda game. Yes it is a cowboy style shooter but has also has a brother who plays as stealth. And both are kinda different you'll know when you'll play.

I'm not sure Faun. I haven't played GUN, but both the previous games are fantastic. They stick to the true Wild Wild West tradition with all those accents, Duels, horse riding, civil war, bars fights etc. Please play it, if you still haven't.

^ COJ:BiB is another "Gun". Play it. Only difference is that you won't get as many side missions as there were in "Gun" and limited sandbox.

i think it should be good even though the setting is different...the earlier CoJ were pretty good so it should not disappoint.. just hoping..

anyway, this year seems good for PC gamers- Crysis 2, AC Brotherhood, BF 3, MW 3, some really good titles coming for the PC...i am so happy :)

I'll raise the stakes with this: YouTube - Call of Juarez Bound In Blood - Ride

Call of Juarez's main menu music: YouTube - Call Of Juarez Soundtrack - Menu' Theme

This game is entirely in first person mode. The video that you have posted, resembles a lot to Red Dead Redemption, which was another awesome game, sadly it was console only.

Yeah, modern Mehico is .......

But, I'm still gonna try it. Techland are graphics powerhouse too.

That makes me wonder which one's going to be better, Deus Ex 3 or COJ The Cartel.

I wonder why they went from cowboy to modern.

Same thoughts here, Cowboy-ism is (sadly was now) he specialty of CoJ series after all. :(

No point in beating a dead horse now. Techland screwed up big time, now they can either bury the ashes of this game and close the series OR we can hope they learn from their mistake and give the fans what the previous CoJ games had provided; a True wild wild west experience. :)

Will start this turd after I'm done with Metro 2033.

After the beautiful BiB, this game will look like $h!t, way to kill off a franchise, after the success of RDR it looks the cowboy theme is more popular than ever.

Yeah well but nothing can be done now. Lets see how this game turns out.

Oh boy IGN gave it a bad rating.
4.5/10

Well TBH I don't blame them this game does looks bad. Can't comment on gameplay though.

Completed the game a few minutes back and it was just as I suspected, disappointing. Believe me when I say this, it had the potential to be a good game, but was marred by amateurish script and dialogues. It seemed as if someone just wrote the lines in less than 30 seconds. The amount of F-Bombs dropped in this game would even put Kane & Lynch to shame. The storyline was the only thing, which I feel, worthwhile in this god-forsaken game. The gameplay was generic and nothing to write home about. Graphics were a complete mess on the 360. It's extremely blurry and makes it look like a PS2 title. Half the time you can make out who's shooting and from where are the bullets coming in. As soon as you zoom-in to get a good look, texture pop-in occurs. Talk about an engine upgrade. PC users, don't lay much hope on this game. Anyway, I was about to write a full review of it, but backed out, since it didn't deserve that. I hope Techland learns from this mistake and we can hope for a new franchise now. Bound in Blood is as far as you can get with a Call of Juarez experience.
