Call of Juarez

Call of Juarez

this game sucks ass change my mind.
seriously i tried going into it with an open mind but JESUS CHRIST. the tutorials are so vague and misleading. the first section where your supposed to figure out the stealth mechanics by

sneaking past the farmer is so incredibly dumb. first off, how am i supposed to know where to go? how does the npc signal to the player hes been spotted?

and more importantly why cant you just shoot the damn npcs? im so tired of games doing this ♥♥♥♥, you get a gun, shoot bottles then IMMEDIATELY are disarmed by the sheriff, and

ran out of town by a bunch of dumb hicks, while trying to be indianna jones swinging from a poorly implenmented rope swinging mechanic that NEVER works as intended, only to get

shot repeatedly due to low health. But apparently there are some people that love this game, honestly, i fail to see why.

In the past games just were more demanding and did not lead the player by the hand, you know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well the shooting in CoJ and CoJ BiB is awful but in Gunslinger, it's way better. I recommend trying that game if you didn't before.

Also slaughtering npcs just cause you don't want to play the game properly was kind of a thing mindless gta brought in. It wasn't a thing in zelda, elder scrolls, and other games. Kings field for example. Yes you had the freedom to kill people in kings field but there goes your vendor, items, and quests.

Basically the just kill an npc and simplify things is a new gamer thing within the last 20 or so years created for a generation that was weaned on GTA and other simplistic, steal and run or drive games. In older games you faced real consequences, and in real life its the same especially in the west. Outlaws might of gotten away with those acts for a little while until they got infamous then everything from rangers to bounty hunters were now hunting them like animals.

Its also kind of downplaying any perceived responsibility or imagination on the part of the player. Why can't I just kill him? Completely ignoring the mindset of the character who he automatically thinks should be deranged and psychotic by default for some odd reason.

Having more experience with the game now and up to I think the 4th level with the town shootout, gotta say this games actually better than I thought. First couple of levels felt like a western youth adventure and consisted of some youngster jumping and ducking, avoiding trouble. But once you play the preacher man, game starts to get pretty intense. Good shootout physics, interesting draw feature that seems a little like max payne, and very nice physics for the time. Can't say this game sucks at all so far. I do think that the first couple of levels were a bit run and jump without much else but a narration pushing them, but they did their job ok, and set the stage for it pretty well.

It is an odd game. I kind of dig the continuous levels like a Half-Life game almost in that regard. Definitely mimicking Half-Life 2 with it's physics objects. It's a little janky, but yeah it gets better once things get going. I really liked that level with the bow. That bow is honestly about as OP as the one in the new Tomb Raider games. Just going through and head shotting everyone. First time I've played these games. I was playing Read Dead 2, and it good, but I kind wanted to play something more.... video gamey.

I also noticed how good the bow was, at first I was a little hesitant to use it over guns. But it’s just like the preachers guns, and slows down when you aim. Feels like a pretty op bow.

Definitely. Ummmm, so I do like the game, but I just got to chapter 9 where the level is arbitrarily massive for no reason and you have to hunt some rabbits and collect an eagle feather, and I gotta say, it's awful, it stops the game dead, which had held a great pace up til this point. I have no idea what they were thinking and I just wish I could activate super fast no clip mode to skip it.
