Call of Juarez-anybody playing it?

[melijak]

I just got it at CC for 39$. Got tired of waiting for a sale.
So far it runs very good on my 3400 64 AMD +6800GT Nvidia card.
The game is great western shooter and a breath of fresh air for PC gaming. I just wanted to let you guys know, since I see so many "PC is dead" treds around lately.

playing with the wimpy guy is annoying
-his Bible-quoting half-brother is a lot more interesting

i left it unfinished to play OverLord ... it is about 8th on my list of 12 games i have that i haven't finished

i mostly got CoJ and Lost Planet to play on the DX10 pathway
... at 10x7 with rig in sig to get good FPS.

I was waiting for a good sale too. I'm sure it will go on sale after I buy it. I did want to check out the multiplayer aspect, so I downloaded the MP demo. Unfortunately ther were only about 5 servers. The ones I tried to join had an earlier version, so I wasn't successful. Let me know how many servers show up in the retail version. Now when I fire up the multiplayer, the bullet-cursor doesn't move, so I can't do anything. I uninstalled and reinstalled the MP demo, was able to get it to work the first time, but the next time I started it, the darn bullet-cursor wouldn't move again. I'm so afraid I'll blow $40 on the game and have it not work properly. That would make me ill. I've been dying for a good western-type FPS. I want to get it so bad. apoppin, I rarely finish games anymore. A long time ago, I use to buy a game and play it all the way through before I bought another. Now most of the games I buy, I don't finish for one reason or another. The main reason is probably because I enjoy MP so much that I don't have time to play the SP aspect. I did finish HL2 because I refused to playHL2: E1 until I completed it. Once I finished HL2, I started E1, but never finished it. I did try the overlord demo, and it was pretty cool. I really want COJ, though.

I just started playing it. Seems interesting enough so far to keep me going.

This looks like it might be worth a look once I'm done with SCDA. I like the idea of a guy shouting Bible quotes while fighting.

I know, it reminds me of Pulp Fiction. I will check the multiplayer soon.

I loved the demo, I don't have the funds for the game yet though.

Game was ok. I liked the western environment and weapons. A nice change of pace from all the WWII games.
The load times are really long and levels are very linear.
I'd give it a 6.5/10.

I can't wait until the late summer/fall FPS games come out.

I thought it was awesome.

Two things:

1. That was a nicely written review.

2. it's nice to find another Juarez fan.

Hmm... I hated the demo... Maybe I need to give it another try. I like FPSs and Western themes, so I was really disappointed when the demo seemed to be crap.

I'll give it another shot... *rimshot*

Is it like GUN? If not, what is it comparable to?

I'm not sure what it's comparable to since you can use both mouse buttons for the pistols.

I played it through to the end. I was not crazy about it, though the depth of field effect was wonderfully implemented. The younger dude's stealth scenes were annoying, and I like stealth games. He got interesting when he got the bow and arrow. If he got that early on in the game it would have been much better. They could make a whole game around his hunting sequence, as that part was really fun.

6 out of 10.

Played the demo, 5 out of 10.

I felt disappointed with it because of:

- Box stacking puzzles got old really quick
- Jumping/going through windows was buggy (for example, in a barn next to the burning house, after I had fun stacking the boxes, I was standing within inches next to the wooden floor, but I still couldn't jump onto it). I learnt to do quick saves just in case my box pyramid would collapse and I would have to start it over.
- The hand guns felt like BB guns (maybe the sound quality added to this?), no real punch, nor satisfaction knocking the bad guys down.

I spent 30 minutes playing the game. I had enough and uninstalled it. Sorry, this game didn't deliver it for me. I would also get rid of slow motion duels and effects.

Maybe, like someone else mentioned it before - I will buy it in a discount bin for $4.99.

SOmeone must tell me about the mulitplayer experience because this is where I would spend the majority of the time. Things I would like to know about is the MP gameplay, number of servers, & MP population.

not close. GUN was 10x better than this.

it's a pretty generic fps game except for the stealth sequences and those pretty much sucked.

 

[apoppin]

some of us hated Gun

I loved the game, it was and is one of the best games I have played this year. A hands down must play.
