Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

Получше, чем первая часть. Братья, порох и охота за золотом. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2930689351

Uma das melhores franquias para se jogar na Steam por um preço muito baixo. Joguei Gunslinger quando a Steam o deu de graça, e este eu paguei apenas 4 reais durante a Summer Sale. Apesar de Gunslinger ser melhor (embora seja independente e não tenha ligação com a história dos outros jogos), este valeu muito pelo preço e é INFINITAMENTE melhor e mais barato que o primeiro jogo. Não possui uma das melhores histórias, mas acredito que quem joga um jogo desse tipo não esteja muito interessado nisso...

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is a fantastic western shooter that stands out as a high point for the franchise, and it’s a blast to play even years after its release. As a prequel to the original game, the story does a wonderful job of fleshing out the McCall brothers, giving excellent context to their motivations and relationship. It ties into the first game beautifully, and honestly, the package here feels a bit better overall than the first entry. The voice acting is absolutely great across the board, bringing real grit and emotion to the narrative, and the graphics have aged surprisingly well—they are still perfectly fine and do a great job of capturing that dusty, sun-drenched atmosphere. From a technical standpoint, the game ran flawlessly for me. I didn't encounter a single bug or glitch, which made the whole experience incredibly smooth. The core gunplay is just pure fun—fast, responsive, and deeply satisfying. That said, it isn't completely perfect. I personally really hated the duels; the mechanic felt frustrating and took me out of the rhythm of the game. Additionally, I wasn't a big fan of the "opened up" world sections, which felt a bit empty and slowed down what is otherwise a tightly paced action game. Still, if you want a great narrative-driven western shooter with excellent gunplay, Bound in Blood is an absolute must-play.

Обалденный вестерн от первого лица прямиком из детства. Даже удивительно сейчас видеть как игра 2009 года дает такого дрозда современным шутанам. Одно удовольствие наблюдать как пляшет револьвер в руках Гг укрываясь за бочкой, ящиком или деревом.

Antes de la llegada de los Red Dead este era el mejor juego ambientado en el viejo oeste, no porque tuviera el gameplay más original del mundo, aunque tiene dos maneras de jugarlo según que personaje prefieras, sino porque tiene una de las mejores historias que jugué en mi vida, tengo poco más de 8 horas, pero falta contar las horas de juego pirata, y hay que tener en cuenta que lo juego desde el 2010 aproximadamente.

Better thank the first gameplay wise, pretty evenly matched story wise. Nothing will ever top Gunslinger, but you have to respect the OGs.

Прекрасный шедевр и игра моего детства. Играл немалое количество раз, решил поностальгировать, купив её в Стиме и перепройти, и КАК ЖЕ ЭТО ОФИГЕННО, вызывает просто необъяснимые родные чувства. Для 2009 года - разъёбистый вестерн, хотя как по мне и в нынешнее время играется очень даже неплохо.. Ещё достойна. Является приквелом, и лично меня он захватил больше, чем первая часть... сюжет имба, вполне достаточно раскрывает братьев. Стрельба с двух рук - отдельный кайф, персонажи живые, а не просто бездушные ковбои. Графа кншн довольно устарела, тут нечего сказать, но картинка до сих пор радует глаз. По поводу саунда - моё почтение, это божественно, атмосфера присутствует. К слову, рекомендую проходить с русской озвучкой, довольно приятная. В общем советую поиграть даже сейчас - того стоит. P.S. не буду спойлерить, но Рэй - лучший персонаж серии :D

I still Remember I First Time Played in Corona

瑜不掩瑕 给人的感觉是制作组啥想往里放一点，结果啥都没做精，从游戏玩法到剧情皆是如此 先说优点。相比狂野西部1，生死同盟的战斗系统显然更加成熟，枪械手感更好，最重要的是——血条改成了呼吸回血。前作最令人头疼的一点就是弹道充满随机性，有时和敌人贴脸互相马枪，有时突然八百里开外抽你两下，高难度极其容易暴毙，呼吸回血显然是更适合这种游戏的机制。令人诟病的跳跳乐关卡也几乎没有了。 但这一作的小问题实在太多了。绝大多数敌人纯换皮，每一关的玩法都是从头突突到尾，不像一代有潜行跑路关调节节奏；双人玩法想法很好，但实际大多数时候都是只有Thomas在跑路干活，Ray只能在原地傻等，没什么配合感；决斗系统比前作还蹩脚，而且实在太太太太太频繁了，最开始决斗的对象至少还是个小头目，到了中后期随便哪个路边的小虾米都会跳出来跟你决斗，决斗还得固定先罚站20秒，人反应过来了结果枪拔不出来，再读档罚站20s，没有一点生死对决的紧张感，只想赶紧搓出来过关完事。中间的半开放关卡，看得出来是制作组在尝试新东西，就不评价了。 剧情方面——如果你和我一样，喜欢狂野西部1简单却充满张力的剧情，想知道Ray有着怎样传奇的过往，经历了何种心路历程才从一个亡命之徒变成了虔诚的上帝使者，并期待这部作品能够满足你的好奇心——那我只能说快跑。 这一部的编剧成功地把一个很有潜力的故事给写得平庸又狗血。生死同盟的剧情要素“丰富”到令人发指——战争、家庭、寻宝、背叛、三角恋、原住民、派系斗争……很难想象在塞了这么多东西的情况下，居然能做到对人物塑造和剧情完成度没有一点正面推动作用，甚至相比前作还倒退的。兄弟两就跟被天意侵蚀了一样同时迷上了一个没有半点魅力可言的女人，争着当接盘的老实人，弄出后面一堆破事；大反派华雷斯成了个不温不火的土匪头子，怂的时候比硬的时候还多，没有半点棱角和戏剧张力；比利他妈，还能说啥呢，华雷斯对她的评价太正确了；其他人物没几个能给人留下印象的。整个故事看下来，行为动机最合理有力的居然是小兄弟威廉，毕竟看这帮人闹麻了一路，你会完完全全地体会到他的无力感，巴不得被一枪打死算了。 威廉的献身本该是整个故事的高潮，是Ray人物形象转变的开始，可以说整个故事都是为这一刻包的饺子。然而这好不容易铺垫起来的情节和情绪，却被一个早该退场的三流反派硬生生打断了。打完这完全多余的最终boss战，把人物后续一笔带过，故事就这么匆匆结束了，相比第一部Ray的自白几乎没有任何新东西，甚至还不如老Ray声泪俱下的忏悔来得有感染力。 总的来说，这是一部很可惜的作品，几乎所有方面都卡在了三部曲中间。如果你不在乎剧情只想爽射，建议直接入战斗系统更成熟的枪手；如果你在乎剧情，建议直接入狂野西部1；只有这部作品，我想不到推荐他的理由。

Few minutes into the game I wanted to abandon it due to the outdated graphics. But it is a short game so I played a little more and ended up finishing it. The graphics in the wilderness - Hills, lakes & Pine trees - is impressive for a 2009 game so this game can still be played by those accustomed to playing pre-2012 games. It is inferior to Call of Juarez Gunslinger but technically a good game. Gunslinger is visually superior and has better action. This game's colors seem faded except the green trees. It is 6/10 game for me. There were minor graphical glitches but nothing major - no crash, no freezing and no bugs. It is good to have a game from pre-Windows 7 era still run fine on Windows 11. The story is decent, it has multiple characters - Civil War soldiers, Native American tribes, Mexican gangs and a young priest. The option to play with 1 of the 2 main characters makes the game replayable but I'm satisfied with a single walkthrough. The 1:1 showdown with a boss is annoying because there is only a fraction of a second to shoot the boss. I would have finished the game an hour early if not for the 1:1 Showdown shootouts.
