Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

Stuck at the duel when rescuing the girl, I had no trouble with earlier duels but this one won't let me even draw the gun, the bell clangs & no matter how I move the mouse it won't draw the gun & I'm dead. Seriously lost interest in this game now as the dueling is completely naff & I can't move any further in the game.
The original was a lot more fun than this :mad:
 
I saw a 'don't mess with the McCalls' TV spot on earlier. I think it was Channel4 around 9ish pm.

Soundtrack:
Chemical Brothers "Leave Home"

Most ill-fitting combo ever...
Game looks purdy though:cool:
 
was a fun game, peed me off with the duels, i swear one of them took me 25 times at least to do and then others would be 1st time or 2 maybe 3 attemps... crap point of the game
 
Just got this yesterday.

Played it for a few hours this morning in single player and had about an hour of multiplayer after lunch. Went out for an hour and now I'm back the games just crashes after the splash screens each and every time.

Great...
 
Just got this, really enjoying it so far though it does feel a bit console like and it's a shame about the auto aim which I don't think you can disable.

The graphics are impressive as is how well it runs.

no way of disabling the auto aim :(
 
Press spacebar to bypass cutscenes, shame there isn't a bypass button for duels so you can at least continue the game:mad:

I got so cheesed off after 25 attempts with the duel in the Mexican level trying to rescue the girl that I gave up & used an all level access file & continued from the next level, when I came to the next duel on level 8 I thought here we go again but I gunned him down on the third attempt.
So thinking I have now got the hang of it I have gone back & restarted the Mexican level, 18 attempts so far:mad::confused:
 
do any of you guys play the mp at all? been playing it a fair bit but the fact that the sniper has a crosshair unscoped makes it too easy, still fun.

btw is there no hack to bypass the auto aim?
 
I have been playing MP the last few nights and it is a lot of fun and very different compared to the usual TF2 etc games I play on MP because its a Western.

I dont think there is auto aim on MP so I wouldn't be suprised if there was a config file somewhere where you could disable it for SP.

Anyway, we should definatly get some good MP games going with people from Ocuk. Wild West Legends is fun. :D
 
Just beaten this, thoughts below:

+Good graphics for a noughties game, although the blurry DoF effect gets annoying when aiming
+Western setting, good mix of towns, valleys, trenches, villages etc
+Duels add a nice touch although gets a bit repetitive
+Runs very well as you'd expect for an older game

-Less fun than Gunslinger
-Mediocre voice acting, especially Ray
-Aside from the sections where you can choose Wanted posters etc, it is very linear, compounded by the typical nonsense like having to clear pathways with dynamite and putting a crate of dynamite right there
-Some draw distance issues, especially with rocks and foliage whereby the LoD suddenly clips in as you approach, changing textures or making the shrubs change size etc
-Story didn't really grab me, most of the characters seem to make bizarre decisions with minimal explanation
-Lack of co-op seems strange given the game is basically based around progressing with a partner
-Poor enemy AI

Overall it was one of those games that you plug your way through because it is fairly simple and not outright terrible, but I wouldn't recommend it over the plethora of other shooters out there.
