I just have to say, this is one of the best computer games Ive ever played.
Speechless.
wow, that was quick! It was only out, like, this morning!
I dunno, did some checking up, heard it`s very console-related, but I might give it a gander.
Mayday Phil, I’m throwing up the dynamite sticks going up ladders. The Yankees are throwing down dynamite. I must have tried that bit (almost right at the start) 20 times and with that clock ticking faster and faster, I had to drag myself into bed eventually, slightly immersive innit
So I’d say ‘Hectic’ as a first-look review and leave it at that 
Bloody amazing Western world in there, CoD influenced. Hope it calms down a bit after the initial battle. Ah wait it’s a battle at the start. That accounts for it (Gatling gun wow)
It’s too small-scale to be ARMA2 but it reminds me of it, developers are getting the hang of realistic graphics and animations, lighting is amazing and faces are properly lit in this one not all dark
Great to be back in the west, keep an eye out for rattlesnakes that’ll be the benchmark CoJ vs CoJ2
Console-ish yep Peacemaker it is, blasting away at everything - at this part of the game anyway.
Meant to throw you in at the deep end I bet. It’s deep and dynamite-wide
Ming
Ohhh dont talk to me about rattlesnakes
I really cant stand the site of em, scared me to death when I was a kid.
ofcourse they are actually quite timid and beautiful animals, well untill they meet me with a shovel !.
The rattlenakes in the original caused the demise of my MS FF joystick.
I was playing away in a quiet bit, thinking, ohh I bet they put the snakes here.
then for some unknown reason the game set off my FF joystick, which I keep under the desk.
It started rattling away in a most snake like manner.
I went into a self defence frenzy stamping on the thing and then booting it clear across the room !.
and expensive overreaction.
Any advice on how to use concentration mode effectively would be good please
I’m at that big on the stagecoach smashing through the town and you’ve got five guys to get concentration mode going, if you fail you’re forced to go again and again grr
I see the two cursors like in the original game but this other mode, first seen at the beginning (concentration mode training task) when you start behind five guys up on a woodpile - I got through that by accident
Something about hover your mouse over the targets
Or of course info on where the bloody manual is would be good (Vista x64)
I see what you mean now Phil, absolutely amazing scenes
Potential purchasers, good story and very immersive, stonking graphics but it is indeed very console if that would drive you mad
Ming
well I got it on Xbox 360, dunno the pc controls
Ive finished it and am doing it a again !
Hot Damn !
Got past that, in a fast draw with this hotshot as usual over and over- but I’m getting to like the way you have to craft and time all your actions. Lots of honing then
Graphics fans with powerful cards, it’s a must
I’ve not seen focus pulls ingame before, not just the usual depth of field post-processing but actual camera features, very nice in cutscenes
Ming
I decided to try it.
The games pretty good light relief. Now this focus thing and all that I actually found annoying, so I just didn`t use it. Just relied on good old fashioned shooting a lot and reloading where necessarry. Disable the auto-hide as well and do my own crouch and hide. I like playing the old school way.
Auto-aim is a particular annoyance though as it is simply not required on PC. Auto-aim should only be used for consoles due to lack of precision with gamepads. They really need to make it an option in the PC Patch.
I like using the iron sights a lot and the game is quite realistic in someways. And I like the closer shooting action.
The rest areas where you can go and do odd-jobs I actually like A LOT. I quite enjoyed the chase scenes where I simply shot the horses rather than pointing at the men on them. 
Graphics are very nice of course. Some great quotes:
“You don`t have to fire 5 bullets to kill every man!”
or
“I think you wounded him.”
“No way, he was dead before he hit the dirt!”
I simply shot the horses
Poor form le Peacemaker
First thing I got wrong was thinking that the clicking is a counter that makes you rush forward in case it’s a timer. It’s only the time you can spend in concentration mode counting down, can’t use that anyway. Now I’m searching everything and enjoying browsing the areas before moving on. But there’s those “Where are you Ray?” endless calls
“Bog off I’m looting and mutilating the corpses. Horse fricasee anyone? No it’s ok I’m French”
Ming
This is the Wild West, pardner. 
Funnily enough, in other parts of the game I cant shoot the horses, theyre invincible.
Hmm… finished the game already…
Gunfights can be exhausting. (On PC), beat them to it, light them up with the active cursor, already made sure 2 for right revolver selected, gun won’t fire under mouse clicks grr. But purposely not hurrying through of course, catchin some rays
1600x1200 maxed-out everything crikey
Ming
finished and is very fun I’ve like the how work the auto cover positions
