This is one of those games I definitely enjoyed when I was younger but didn’t fully appreciate until years later. One of those 7th gen games that got lost in the shuffle at the time but feels far more unique in hindsight. Another one to add to the list of switch rereleases I’d happy pick up.

Its amazing how well this game runs even today, It'd probably be a seamless port on the switch. It'd be fantastic

I remember starting with the sequel, (bound in blood, obviously) and went back and bought the first game after and was disappointed with it.

[@_gouda7928]

This is a textbook sequel. Improves upon the best parts of the first game and trims the unneeded fat with only a few minor hiccups (ie the duels). It's amazing

[@MrHammers]

Exactly, if the duels weren't there it's a 10/10

[@captaina-d7871]

Skill issue

[@Pedro_Le_Chef]

The guy sucked. I was eleven years old playing the game and yet I still enjoyed the duels. Sure, i sucked initially, but i got better and they were genuinely fun. He sucks and doesn't want to get better so he just complains. Edit: Apparently, duels with M&k are much more difficult, so his frustration is understandable. Duels are still great with controllers though.

[@Inferno65]

The duels were one of the best improvements. You no longer have to just wildly shoot and dodge bullets. You just have to draw your gun and fire.

[@foamykai29]

I think the reason why the last duel with Juarez happened is so the brothers would think they were safe for the next 17 years, thinking that Juarez is dead and all

[@MrHammers]

That is a good point!

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

yes, but they should've made it a cutscene because I and many other players shot the bastard's brains out

[@gameragodzilla]

That is one thing I liked about Bound in Blood. It can work as a standalone story or as a prequel to the first game. The immediate plot is resolved within that game, including Juarez.

[@smithwesson1896]

​@MrHammers I like how even if you use the most powerful gun (the Superb Volcano Gun) and hit him directly in the head, you still don't find his body......you can still pick up ammo and money from where he fell though.

[@Vincent-S]

I remember laughing so hard when Ray shot Devlin, saw that bullet coming from a mile away. Poor William accidentally just making it more and more worth it to pull the trigger. I forgot how much I loved this game, good memories playing it and all the Western movies and tv shows I watched growing up

You didn't mention that Ray is the only one who can dual wiel in basic gameplay (not door knocking segments) which actually made me pick him over and over again when I had a choice. It's pretty important, considering how choice defining this is. Cheers.

[@froggoded1910]

im currently replaying this game thanks to you reminding me of its existence, im honestly doing really good in the duels surprisingly lol

[@Johnnymagnet92]

Early ones are fine, it's later on that they take like...20 attempts.

[@BaranZenon]

The thing about that duel thing in this game is that most later ones are really tight, so you need to grab the gun and shoot as fast as you can. And since the crossair is going up it caused me killing almost everyone in duels by shooting enemy in the balls.

[@The_Swinn]

I remembering bashing the demo on the 360 then I finally got it full and was the happiest kid. Playing Ray and Thomas was such an adventure and actually grew my love for westerns a huge underrated game like Gun that I hope/think is starting to get appreciation and that makes me happy. And yes the dueling made me rage too :)

[@Laxhoop]

If I’d played these games back when they came out, I’d have honestly been extremely disappointed by how this game ends. The point in the first game, where Rey admits to shooting his younger brother, and out of sheer guilt, dedicating himself to the lord afterwards, actually made me tear up. Seeing that event unfold in this game, was so unsatisfying, since the stupid confederate guy shows up to completely suck the air out of what SHOULD have been the most emotionally heavy scene in the entire game. But putting that aside… I’d also have hoped they make a remake of the first game at some point. Thomas and Marisa were given such deep characterization, that I can’t help but feel cheated when going back to the first game, and seeing that they don’t even get a line before they’re corpses on the ground. And the game never really has either Rey or Billy take a moment to think about their deaths. I’d want a remake of the first game to have the opening sequence actually have Billy meet up with Marisa and Thomas, and have Thomas make Billy do basic chores, which would replace the subpar tutorial sequence we get at the barn at the beginning of the first game. The story would then take a turn when Billy decides to steal Thomas’s old six shooters, so he can skip town again. Marisa had been trying to convince Thomas to give Billy one more chance, and Thomas had only done so begrudgingly. But when he hears Billy firing his six shooters, he comes running to beat the boy. Then THAT could be where we cut to Rey’s perspective. That way, we might assume that Billy killed Thomas and Marisa is a self-defense situation gone bad, unlike in the real game, where Marisa’s only line if dialogue, a scream, let’s us know immediately that whatever threat killed them, was there before Billy arrived.

[@MrHammers]

I agree 100% running river should've killed barnsby in the ghost town, the game should've ended when William died. And I think you're idea on one is fantastic, give us more of a glimpse at his Thomas and Marissa are to Billy, let Billy spend some time with them. I'd love to see the first game remade with the idea of the prequel in mind

Thanks my dude!

[@benmcreynolds8581]

I really enjoyed the first game when it came out. After just watching this stream covering games that are coming soon, I really really realized that I loved games most back in the 2000s-2010s era. I swear people don't know how to make good games anymore except for a select few. For the most part it's a lot of painful painful excuses for a "video game" it's sad because of the hardware and tech we now have these days. You'd think we'd have great physics sandbox effects and escapism games, etc. I think it would be so cool to see a 3rd person call of Juarez game. Like a max Payne version of it. Like gun or red dead Revolver. Man I love those games. Especially if they have treasure hunting and other unique things to do and bows and arrows, animals, mines. Reactive responses combat gameplay, etc.

[@mikemurphy5898]

6:00 I remember the duels being alright on the ps console... they did eventually get very challenging but it never felt cheap, rather, it felt like ramping difficulty that was commensurate with the game. Imo

[@JackSlenderman]

This is a game I remember picking up years ago at a Blockbuster of all places. I simply loved the story it told and now I love it every more since developing a taste for Westerns

[@gameragodzilla]

I honestly didn’t have that much trouble with the duels in this game. Yeah, I died a few times to some of the tougher challenges, but once I got the hang of it, it wasn’t too much. Trick is to keep the hand as close as possible to the gun without actually touching it, and then quickly yank down on the mouse once the bell rings. If the opponent is centered in your view, the draw should be quick and you just shoot them since the aim is mostly automatic.

You just blew my mind when you revealed Carlos Alazraqui voiced William, considering how he and Deputy James Garcia are on two whole different wavelengths! Overall I still have fond memories of Bound in Blood despite last playing it in 2015, especially the main characters, but hot DAMN Marisa was garbage. All she did was whine and mope in between getting tossed around and caressing the shoulders of every other head honcho to the point it made me wonder just what in the hell the McCall brothers saw in her, especially when they nearly kill each other over whose getting into Marisa's pants first. Which is weird, because her character model totally betrays her personality considering it's a gunslinger get-up stolen from Salma Hayek's Bandida's wardrobe yet she only handles a gun once in the whole game. It makes me wonder if it was intended for a whole different character that got cut and they just slapped Marisa's head onto the body. Game Dev can be weird that way.

@@MrHammers I guess the biggest thing is it lost it’s identity; a western shooter, and instead fell to generic FPS tropes.

[@hanayaseth]

The duel is simple in terms of mechanic but yeah, the game does terrible job of explaining it. The least that I could do is to share tricks to get better at it. Try to match your movements with your opponent. For example, when your duel opponent took three steps follow suits with three steps too in the opposite direction. If they go left, you go right. Whilst keeping your opponent on the center, for the sake of making easier shot later on, steadily moves your mouse to reach for the gun. Don't go too close to it, or the character you play as will stop you. Be sure to get the hand close or above the gun's handle before the bell tolls.

[@MrHammers]

Your tricks are very helpful, if only I saw this before I beat the game haha
