Hey every one! This game definitely had a "first game" feeling. Thanks for every one that hung out on my twitch! If you want to catch the Call Of Juarez sequels then come give a follow! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
In case you take suggestions for games you could play, I'd recommend Dante's Inferno, its a not that bad God of War-esque game, based on that one really old story about the nine circles of hell.
Looking forward to see you play Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, in my opinion its the refined version of the first game, and one of my favourite games of all time.
That's the only Call of Juarez game I've ever experienced... except I didn't never really got past the civil war section mostly because of how difficult it was to control the fucking cannon, I was ok with the game all up until that point where I called it quits on the game.
@@coreymarshall6014 Can't exactly continue on with the game when you're constantly stuck at a cannon section that by the time you even reach said cannon there's already eight to ten enemies shooting at what you're trying to protect.
A classic. Despite its jankyness. I remember being mesmerised by the graphics of this game. The level where you have to collect the feathers is still stunning to look at even today.
Little fun fact: your health in the 360 version regenerates, but the health bottles have not been patched out so you still see them being dropped by enemies or lying around, something that may come off confusing when you didn't play it on PC beforehand. Great review though, I've too completed it this year on PC and thought it was just alright, but Bound in Blood is something else, I'm sure you're gonna love it, an improvement in every department.
@SamuraiAngel lmao. Bet your ass I'm a clown. You seen Ronald. Makes the best fuckin' burgers around. Not to mention that makeup makes me so fucking hard like mm fuck me with those clown noses.
@@damiensawyers4133 At least until you got to the last few levels of the game, one of the two allies died you're gonna have to redo the entire level (if you're lucky enough) of course that's even assuming you can even get pass the bad Bessie boss fight since it has an consistent crashing issue on every platform except the PlayStation 2.
The thing i liked most about this game was you could dual wield two different handguns like a schofield (faster reloading but not as powerful as other handguns) and a ranger (very powerful but slow to reload) or even a revolver and a sawn off shotgun don’t know why they didn’t keep this it would’ve been great in the newer games especially gunslinger it was such a good feature.
The guns were terrible though. How do you make a lever action rifle where the lever doesn't move the action? Guns are the stars of the show in both first person shooters and in westerns, you have to animate them properly or they're completely flaccid. Also it had the most generic and forgettable gameplay and plot of the whole bunch, at least The Cartel was running on a reskinned Dead Island engine and was notable for how bad it was, Gunslinger just kinda limped out onto the market and then you forget about it for a couple years until you see it on your steam library and go "oh hey I own that game."
@@DaleErnieMichael Although Gunslinger is a little very pleasant experience, Bound In Blood is still the best of the series but Gunslinger was a nice surprise for a little spin off
Yeah Gunslinger failed on the guns but gameplay and story were decent at least. Felt like a typical flashback style story so some weird crap tended to happen for...seemingly no reason
@@DaleErnieMichael The lever gun also loads from the bottom instead of the side. Still, whatever. No worse than the left handed rifles in Far Cry 2 tho.
Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood will always be one of my favorite wild west games. I'd love to see you do a review on Gun too. It was like Red Dead Redemption in the Red Dead Revolver era.
I'm using my ladies RUclips profile to comment because I don't have one. Just clarifying. GREAT review man.... I wanna say that from the start. THANK you for reviewing this game. It's a gem in my eyes. But I play(ed) on the 360, so that's probably why. Differing experiences. I'm gonna bring up a few aspects you chose not to mention. Because I love this game. So this may get a little long. The graphics always made my day, though. Amen to that. That deserves a mention itself, and you're AWESOME for making that clear. :) You probably know about them, but I want to go into the guns. Throughout the campaign, in almost every level, there are *prime* and *superb* quality guns (like in BiB, which were done better) hidden in drawers, in chests, random wilderness spots, and ends of pathways. These guns are PHENOMENAL, and change the issue with *rusty* and regular quality guns. You don't get to pick which specific ones appear, but the game usually provides good enough high quality guns that make your life easier, ESPECIALLY on *Very Hard* difficulty. Some levels have 1, very few levels have none, while a couple levels have 4 or 5 of them. They're great to pick up, because it HIGHLY enhances the game. On the duels, MOST people missed the nuance of the drawing mechanic. Because the game FAILED HORRIBLY at making it clear. The trick was to do it VERY gently and calmly, and the more precise you were, the more control you'd have. If you ACTUALLY did it perfectly, your cross-hair would pop EXACTLY onto the enemies head, ending the duel within a half second. I know this because the duels unlocked after beating the game, there's one where you duel 3 guys, and I managed to get a best time of 2.09 seconds. But your timing HAD to be perfect. I got that time AFTER a couple hours of trying JUST that duel. THAT'S how I eventually figured it out. But most people didn't spend so much time doing those. So, I can't blame anyone.... Because the developers dropped the ball there, BIG time. Billy's whip was unique, and the level with eagle Mountain, where you hunt 3 rabbits and climb the mountain for the feather for Calm Water, that's the level that stuck with me. It's impeccable IMO. Plus, how Calm Water helps you on that level, HE is the indian war chief from BiB, which he was named Running River then. I wont go into spoiling the story, because BiB is IMO the BEST western FPS game for the entire catalog of the 360. So anyway, the way the story is done, how BiB is actually a PREQUEL, was amazing to me. The story line from game to game, carried over into present day for The Cartel, wasn't done great. But what WAS done right, was how so many of the same areas you played on the first two games, you end up at them during The Cartel, in present day. Which was the best part of The Cartel IMO, period. I rate the games in order of quality like this. Bound in Blood is the best, THEN the first game, THEN Gunslinger, and last and least, The Cartel. But I've kept them PURELY for my love for the whole series. I actually lost my copy of the first game years ago. And I looked for another the whole time. I JUST managed to find another, in PRISTINE condition at my local shop, about a week ago. I was COMPLETELY ECSTATIC. The box just didn't have the manual. But the CD was PERFECT. Probably because whoever had it, had played it SO little. Haha. The gatling gun battle is only so difficult on *Very Hard*...... It requires exact timing. Which you HAVE, because you got past it. It IS CHEESE at points, but that's why flanking is huge in this game. Avoiding the gatling on VH difficulty is about the only way it's doable, because as soon as you can the operator, another punk goes to man it. The LONG chase with the buggy kinda makes sense in the moment, and in real distance..... it's about 2 miles. I found it amazing. Just my opinion though. The "boss battle" with Mason in the villa near Molly, IS weird, I fully agree. And the devs SHOULD'VE blocked the way back up, BECAUSE of the issue you encountered. And it wouldn't have been hard to do, OR reason, since Mason THROWS DYNAMITE at you. The wall, or JUST another object could've blocked the way back up. I fully agree. The section where you protect Molly from the thrown dynamite, right after fighting Mason, it is absurd at times. But I suspect I don't think so much of it, because the difference in the cool down timing for the Concentration mode. You said it's 20 seconds on PC? YEP, on the 360, it's literally no more than 5 seconds. So it can be downright abused. But even without Concentration Mode, you DEFINITELY understood that using a Sawed Off Shotgun was the best way to go for that part. Literally, the only part I ever got angry with, was the opening section (which is repeated when you enter the villa at the end of the game) with the gatling on *Very Hard* specifically. But, after years of playing first person shooters, my reflexes have gotten to a level that the event doesn't present issues anymore. I'm almost done, I swear. I really appreciate it if anyone ACTUALLY read this whole thing. Haha. An aspect I feel has been dropped by too many games though, is how at the close of every level, your accuracy is tracked with everything, even fists and the whip. THAT was always something I strived to accel at. Thank you for this review. You made a new FOREVER subscriber with your solid and nuanced focused way of doing the whole thing. Truly, you're fxxkin AWESOME. Keep up the high quality standards. And I'm sure you loved Bound In Blood. A good game, is a good game. Take care. Best of luck with everything. I wish NOTHING BUT fast growth and further exposure/success for your awesomely made channel.
Thanks a lot for this comment! Nice to see people who really liked this game. It's sort of been forgotten over the years. One thing I'd like to point out is that the duels just weren't made with a mouse in mind and apparently work better with a controller.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon dude, you deserve respect and an award. For most awesome stewardship of your channel. Did not expect a response as fast as you just did.... You're a legend. PURE legend. I'm glad I found you. Expect more comments. But I do NOT expect responses on them.... UNLESS you choose to, haha. You're absolutely right about the mouse aspect. They should've shown more love to you folks. A major revamping for duels on the PC would've been in order for you guys. Screw anyone who's smug, we're all lovers of games at the end of the day. Hope you're having a great night and a successful year.
Please do John Woo's Stranglehold!! Story is pretty short but its just a creative, crazy 3rd person shoot em up to mess around with, I used to love playing it when I had it
I gotta play this game, I had a blast with Gunslinger, I know it's quite different, but I just love Western Shooters in general. I'll give it a try. Btw, this game is currently 75% off on GOG, if anyone is thinking about picking it up.
Just now found your channel and now I’m hooked, keep em coming, Can’t wait to see you play bound in blood. I like playing old games on my channel myself.
Bound in Blood and Gunslinger are the best, but this one is good too. This was one of the first two games that I ever had for the Xbox 360. I just recently bought it and Bound in Blood again and they are both still fun to play, but I will admit I'm pretty nostalgic for a lot of the games I played on 360. Edited after playing them all again, the first one is still my favorite. From a narrative perspective and just gameplay, it's the most unique formula out of the four I think and I love the cat and mouse dynamic of the two main characters.
@@kkarx The first game only mentioned that Ray killed his younger brother and that made him turn to the light, it didn't explain how and the journey that led to his ruthless behaviour even after becoming a priest. It also didn't explain why he distanced himself from Thomas and Marisa to the point of hating their child so much and calling him a bastard son. I'd say that made for an interesting point to explore. The FoV was indeed a bad part but the graphics were more than fine for the time as opposed to CoJ1's that resembled CoD1 graphics (2003 graphics in a 2007 game when there were plenty others much better looking at the time). As for the cartoonish characters I'm not sure what you mean, every character of relevance got a proper introduction and was well fleshed out; you knew their motives and goals and why you were either working for them or hunting them. Animations were stiff but that's to be expected. The soundtrack and voice acting were beyond phenomenal though and you could feel every emotion from each line as if they were real; the game was just stunning by comparison. CoJ1 had a lot of filler levels and mute characters by comparison.
The only thing I remember about this game from my childhood is when I was reading the manual and it said and I quote: "pull out the bible and pretend to read it to distract your enemies." That was the weirdest thing I had ever read back then, probably still is today.
Funny thing is, it actually works. If you start reading the bible at them, they will usually freeze for about half a second, giving you more time to shoot them.
Oh man this game... I remember buying a new PC shortly before it launched, and playing it at that time made my jaw drop... I thought there would never be a better thing
It's going to sound a bit cheesy, but it really was the Crysis of 2006. Didn't run super great even on high-end machines of the time, but it was such a tech marvel that it wasn't too surprising. Had a bit too much fun with the demo back when it was new.
Little pet peeve of mine, were those mandatory fist fights (3 of them if I'm correct) the first is easy enough, but some sections later you must fight a guy in his house surrounded by his gang, and the final boss has another mandatory fist fight. By far the worse crime the developers committed, you must survive those with the weakest character (gameplay wise) and the mechanics are so broken they beat you 9/10 times and have to restart from a few rooms away of the fight. Glad the sequel didn't have any of those
I found the fistfights extremely easy. All you do is right hook back up over and over and over. Never died once while doing those but yea, they're awful.
Always wanted to play this. 2 and Gunslinger are fucking phenomenal. So I looked it up and its apparrently the only Juarez game that isnt backwards compatible. God damn it.
Being at disadvantage is fine, being at disadvantage WITH NO HEALTH because of a long, drawn out, boring chase sequence that didn't give you any health pick ups is not fine. You totally missed the point.
Gunslinger on PS3 is the only CoJ game Ive played. I have to say i actually enjoyed playing through it quite a bit. It was fun, and i like the gimmick of the gameplay being a story someone is telling, so sometimes things change on the spot as the story does.
I threw a bottle at the angry boyfriend at the start of the game and the game kicked me out for harming someone "innocent". I kicked the game out of my room right after that. 😅
Heeey, I just finished your Far Cry New Dawn video, came to this one, and then my cat jumped up on my chest, and I got thinking... ...and, well, here's the elevator pitch: wild west game, the player's a mountain lion, and they're hunting the settlers. The cat doesn't *have* to ride a horse, but it would certainly look fun. And maybe he can use guns somehow? ..or some supernatural equivalent. Now somebody go make it :P
Analysis: Orion Dino Horde incoming? I watched a Video of you playing it back at 2012. I was searching after years now for your Channel and I finally found it. Well, back in 2012 I liked that Game and I would really appreciate it if you could do an Analysis Vid for it. I would feel like a Child again lol
I really liked the next game, bound in blood. The multiplayer was a lot of fun too, though even when the game was relatively new, it was hard to get games going if it wasn't a weekend
i played it last summer , and my god it was beautiful , loved the graphic, game play, and the story is fairly interesting , i hope they make another coj game with multiplayer (coj gunslinger was awesome but sadly no multiplayer), by the way , if you are planning on playing coj the cartel , play it with two of your buddies to have fun together atleast
I really need this video right now considering the news that just popped up again. And people still wonder why people have depression. Also, hello Algorithm.
Heh wow I actually just started this game a few days ago, cool timing. Thanks for the headsup on the crashes. By the way what keybinds do you use? Particularly for "focus" since you can't really bind it to right click....
I fucking LOVE bound and blood and Gunslinger, playing this game for the first time made me depressed, physically wounding me to my core. Atleast we got two great games come out of this abomination
everytime he mentions FOV I laugh, I mean, he's right, narrow FOV's are awfull and if I recall correctly I think this guy explained why narrow FOV's are bad on PC gamming, and he's totally correct. But I feel that complaining about FOV's is a standard on his videos and it is funny somehow.
Basically like far cry five if you played as Joseph seed only probably better I'm gonna give this game a go who knows I like westerns even if it's janky

Hey Jarek can you review Fallout: New Vegas?
I understand if you don't want to but it's still a good game
Kinda found CoJ The Cartel wich moderned the western stuff.
Please review Bound in Blood and Gunslinger
Howdy jarek
In case you take suggestions for games you could play, I'd recommend Dante's Inferno, its a not that bad God of War-esque game, based on that one really old story about the nine circles of hell.

GUNSLINGER!?

Little fun fact: your health in the 360 version regenerates, but the health bottles have not been patched out so you still see them being dropped by enemies or lying around, something that may come off confusing when you didn't play it on PC beforehand. Great review though, I've too completed it this year on PC and thought it was just alright, but Bound in Blood is something else, I'm sure you're gonna love it, an improvement in every department.
Late to comment, but those health bottles actually came very handy when playing on Very Hard difficulty on the Xbox 360 version.

I played it recently, it was very fun and interesting going back to it after i have played both Red Dead Redemption games.

Definitely check out Bound in Blood. It wasn't perfect but I think back on it fondly. I really did enjoy it way more then this one.

The only thing I remember about this game from my childhood is when I was reading the manual and it said and I quote: "pull out the bible and pretend to read it to distract your enemies."
That was the weirdest thing I had ever read back then, probably still is today.
Funny thing is, it actually works. If you start reading the bible at them, they will usually freeze for about half a second, giving you more time to shoot them.
Rex Talbot that’s fantastic.
Oh man this game... I remember buying a new PC shortly before it launched, and playing it at that time made my jaw drop... I thought there would never be a better thing
I’m pumped to see you’re back!!!
Is that the music from legendary nice I like that game for what it is
It's going to sound a bit cheesy, but it really was the Crysis of 2006. Didn't run super great even on high-end machines of the time, but it was such a tech marvel that it wasn't too surprising. Had a bit too much fun with the demo back when it was new.
Oh man I remember grabbing this from the bargain bin as a kid and playing it all day on weekends
The Call of Juarez series is rather rough around the edges but Gunslinger is pretty great.
One of the first really good Polish games.
Have been addicted to your reviews the last few days ...
New sub easily earned ...
Little pet peeve of mine, were those mandatory fist fights (3 of them if I'm correct) the first is easy enough, but some sections later you must fight a guy in his house surrounded by his gang, and the final boss has another mandatory fist fight.
By far the worse crime the developers committed, you must survive those with the weakest character (gameplay wise) and the mechanics are so broken they beat you 9/10 times and have to restart from a few rooms away of the fight. Glad the sequel didn't have any of those
I found the fistfights extremely easy. All you do is right hook back up over and over and over. Never died once while doing those but yea, they're awful.
You should play the game GUN. Good memory’s of that game when I was younger but I’m wondering if they hold up lol
Always wanted to play this. 2 and Gunslinger are fucking phenomenal. So I looked it up and its apparrently the only Juarez game that isnt backwards compatible. God damn it.
What’s wrong with the Gatling gun shootout? Being at a disadvantage is not a necessarily bad thing. Jarek are YOU high?
Being at disadvantage is fine, being at disadvantage WITH NO HEALTH because of a long, drawn out, boring chase sequence that didn't give you any health pick ups is not fine. You totally missed the point.
Analysis: Call Of Juarez 2!!!
I actually played this on Xbox 360. This and GUN were underrated.
Gunslinger on PS3 is the only CoJ game Ive played. I have to say i actually enjoyed playing through it quite a bit. It was fun, and i like the gimmick of the gameplay being a story someone is telling, so sometimes things change on the spot as the story does.
I threw a bottle at the angry boyfriend at the start of the game and the game kicked me out for harming someone "innocent". I kicked the game out of my room right after that. 😅
The second one is so good
Gunslinger > CoJ > Bound in Blood >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Cartel
same
The cartel isnt even on the same plane of existence. Complete let down
The cartel was so shit
Heeey, I just finished your Far Cry New Dawn video, came to this one, and then my cat jumped up on my chest, and I got thinking...
...and, well, here's the elevator pitch: wild west game, the player's a mountain lion, and they're hunting the settlers. The cat doesn't *have* to ride a horse, but it would certainly look fun. And maybe he can use guns somehow? ..or some supernatural equivalent.
Now somebody go make it :P
I was so hyped for this and back in the day my computer could hardly run this game!
Analysis: Orion Dino Horde incoming? I watched a Video of you playing it back at 2012. I was searching after years now for your Channel and I finally found it. Well, back in 2012 I liked that Game and I would really appreciate it if you could do an Analysis Vid for it. I would feel like a Child again lol
Far Cry 2 took most of it's inspiration from first Xenus (Boiling Point: Road to Hell). Even degeneration of weapons.
Are you gonna play all the call of Juarez games
He said it at the end he will
Super underrated game! Online was fun too at the time
12:00 they take it like a power ranger
3:23 FOV 300.... looks like the Max Payne nightmare
I really liked the next game, bound in blood. The multiplayer was a lot of fun too, though even when the game was relatively new, it was hard to get games going if it wasn't a weekend
I recommend a FOV slider with a automatic crossbow
i played it last summer , and my god it was beautiful , loved the graphic, game play, and the story is fairly interesting , i hope they make another coj game with multiplayer (coj gunslinger was awesome but sadly no multiplayer), by the way , if you are planning on playing coj the cartel , play it with two of your buddies to have fun together atleast
You have to check out coj: The cartel :D
Cartel is flawed and feels unfinished but it's still quite enjoyable, actually.
@@sunburst8810 Im with you haha
Glad you covered this game
I really need this video right now considering the news that just popped up again. And people still wonder why people have depression.
Also, hello Algorithm.
One of my fav 360 games
The Black Bar remover from PCGamingWiki sadly doesn't work anymore.
The black bar fix definitely still works. Call Of Juarez hasn't been updated in 15 years.
Hey! The Reverend is Gul Dukat
Heh wow I actually just started this game a few days ago, cool timing. Thanks for the headsup on the crashes. By the way what keybinds do you use? Particularly for "focus" since you can't really bind it to right click....
There's no sprint and you never need to walk so I put it to shift
@@Jarekthegamingdragon Yeah that's a good idea, thank
Here I thought bound in blood was the first in the series. Never heard of this one
hey man. great video, i love your content. may i ask whats your pc specs?
think you can do battlefield 2 modern combat or medal of honor airborne?
This is that Ladder-Goat game!!!
Never underestimate FOV sliders
Now about call of juarez 2, wild something
thought this was a remaster at first amazing looking game
Been playing coj: bound in blood a lot and i would love for you to review that one (pd: i love your content ❤)
Nice review for Call of Jank
I fucking LOVE bound and blood and Gunslinger, playing this game for the first time made me depressed, physically wounding me to my core. Atleast we got two great games come out of this abomination
If you like this, try the sequel (or rather, prequel) CoJ: Bound in Blood
First COJ is pretty old. Bound in Blood and Gunslinger are much better. We don't talk about Cartel though
What is the name of the music that you used for this vidéo ?
>i can pull hair out from elsewhere
GROSS
I had more crashing issues with directx 9 then i did directx10
Good old euro jank
After you finish the coj games play conduit and conduit 2 both are wii games
Dude definitely play Call of Juarez The Gunslinger it's soooooooo good
everytime he mentions FOV I laugh, I mean, he's right, narrow FOV's are awfull and if I recall correctly I think this guy explained why narrow FOV's are bad on PC gamming, and he's totally correct. But I feel that complaining about FOV's is a standard on his videos and it is funny somehow.
Red Dead Redemption -1
Red dead revolver 2
gunslinger was the best of them all, all be it a bit short.
Hey, great video! Was wondering if you have heard of Advent Rising? Old classic of my childhood and love to see you check it out. Thank you!
Wasnt it possible to slow down time when the boss runs oway?
Whats your outro music?
What is that red cross
If you think the duels are bad in this one wait till you play the other 2 lol
15:14 gmanlives refrence?
Basically like far cry five if you played as Joseph seed only probably better I'm gonna give this game a go who knows I like westerns even if it's janky
but can I play it on my laptop? 2gb ram for me.
140k subs and still no checkmark? Dragon gamers are the most oppressed minority.
😒👍 $2 on GOG Sales
Caleb ?
So the story is sorta what halo 5 shoulda been 🤷🏻♂️
