I did not notice any difference and I'm playing on difficult and its still too easy. The auto aim is only for some weapons, but the always hit (never has to be directly centre) target reticule is always there.

Anyway I am enjoying the game now as I have found a mod that removes the target reticule all together (still available for special moves) so for precise aiming you have too use the iron sights. With this the game has gone from a 7 to a 9.2 :)

Damn good looking game that runs better than anything I have played and bug free which is fairly impressive considering the devs history.

REMOVE TARGET RETICULE or change style of reticule. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9901090327/m/7911091967
 
Wow just had my first 30 mins on SP and a bit on MP. ;)

its a really really good game and for me, only the menus feel a little like a console.

Runs silky smooth at 1920x1200 at high even on my E6600/8800gts. What an engine. :D
 
This game is awesome and also runs a treat on my 8800GT at 1680x1050 but I get a lot of tearing. I have set the refresh rate to 60Hz as that is what my monitor is but there is no vsync option?

- Fixed by forcing vsync using nvidia control panel :)

Yeah not often that a game constantly runs over 100 fps with everything pumped up. I adore the level design in this game and I would love to see more westerns. Try it without the target reticule as it makes for a far more realistic experience.
 
This game got slated in a review in pcformat magazine, they usually do decent reviews in my experience of reading them (or at least I generally agree with their reviews lol).
Are you guys sure it's as good a game as you're saying or are you just concetrating on the graphics because from what I've read the story isn't half as good as the first game and the characters aren't great either (although it's a prequel but the maniac priest isn't a priest yet, right?)

Who didn't love being the maniac priest with a big metal plate on his chest lol

I would love them to get a western game right, in all my years of playing games all I really wanted is a great western game but the game makers never seem to get it quite right :(
 
Just getting a couple of screenies into the "high res screenshot thread".

I am really enjoying it so far, and im just at the bit after the mine shafts and you get to wander round town for a little bit and do side missions.

Great game, and it helps that last night i watched The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. :D

Is auto aim off on hard difficulty?

No

It's not just the auto aim. There is also the huge target reticule where the target has only has to be slightly in for you to hit - no precision aiming. Don't worry as there is a mod to remove the target reticule altogether (see earlier post) which makes the challenge just about perfect on the difficult setting. I was about to sell my game before I found the no cross-hair mod.
 
Hmm, having a bit of trouble on multiplayer. It seems to kick me back to the lobby and says there was something wrong at random times. Not sure if it is connection related or not. :rolleyes: :o
 
I have to say that this is a really good game. I didn't expect much due to the first one being a fairly average title, but Bound in Blood is great! The visuals range from great to downright beautiful in places, and it performs wonderfully. Combat is punchy and fun, and the dialog and story is pretty good and fairly humourous in places too.

My favourite part is the setting. Absolutely love it, and it has been done so well. I'd love to see these guys make an open world Oblivion-esque game set in this era. I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

no you cant turn auto aim of or target reticule which is silly when useing a keyboard and mouse config but if you use the xbox controller you can turn it of..i mean who uses an x box controller on a PC specially on a FPS game....
 
Well i just finished the game and thought it was brilliant, a bit short but still great. The ending was a bit Indiana Jones - ish yet i still had fun. At the end a new difficulty was unlocked called Very Hard (or something) so maybe that turns off auto aim, i dont know.

:)
 
Had a nice game of multiplayer tonight on Wild West Legends. Found a few decent servers at last.

Anywho, would be nice if the "Dual" part of the SP game could be intergrated into the MP game somehow. :)
