MULTI Weird West - An Isometric top-down Action RPG from ex-Dishonored devs

[CerebralTiger]

What is Weird West? From the dev (@ 02:00):

Weird West is an action RPG that is set in an environment that is called the weird west, and it's very much the kind of games that I've been working on in the past, except the perspective is more like isometric top-down kind of view.

 

[Necrokiller]

"more like"

"kind of"

Not surprised that he is indecisive about his choice of words. As some here would say, this genre is outside of his comfort zone after all :hah:

Lets see if this can dethrone Disco Elysium.

Funny how quickly CerebralTiger abandoned this game though

For good reason, I might add

RPG Fan - 6.8 / 10

If not for the grating gameplay and clunky controls, Weird West would be another Devolver classic.

Twinfinite - 6 / 10

This is one game that is certainly worth checking out, if only for the setting and story premise, and if you could find some way to look beyond the less than ideal conditions of the gameplay segments, then perhaps you already possess the necessary steel and nerve to make it in the Weird West.

Slant Magazine - 4 / 10

Playing Weird West, it’s hard to shake how much more gracefully other games of this type avoid similar pitfalls.

Isn't this from the same guy CerebralTiger fell in love with when he dissed ray tracing?

8s or 9s waale reviews bhi parh lo

Actooooal reason is no PS5 version trophies hahahaha. Day 1 Game Pass here, sorry can't relate

 

[CerebralTiger]

Imagine playing a mediocre game on Game Pass, but laughing at higher rated games being available on PS Plus

Doesn't sound mediocre. Just following CerebralTiger's rule of reading the reviews

Weird West is a mix between Red Dead Redemption and Desperados. The five episodes of the game are telling a brilliant story and it’s amazing, how every choice you make, has consequences for the outcome. The dynamic world of the West makes the game to one of the best RPGs of the year.

Guess I'll find out, thanks to Game Pass

I guess I'm playing the best version of the game then

 

[Necrokiller]

Weird (pun intended) how a Day 1 Game Pass release is least reviewed on Xbox.

Just in time for the second kid that could've been born while CerebralTiger waited for this game

 

[CerebralTiger]

Waited? Lmao this won't even be downloaded. Just another game added to my permanent library for bragging rights

 

[Necrokiller]

Good enough to bump the thread and "brag" about so I guess someone has been waiting either way. CerebralTiger nahi tou 2 imaginary bache hi khel le ge

 

[CerebralTiger]

Good enough to remind Necrokiller that he will no longer have access to the game in 2 days, while I keep it for good (not that I'll bother with it)

It's been there for 2 years. That's a heck of a long time for anyone interested to play it. Itne time mein to 2 bache hojaate hain, in terms CerebralTiger likes to put it

Further evidenced by the fact that CerebralTiger will keep paying to keep this game forever in his library and still won't play it

1.5 years. Itnay period mein 2 bachay nahi ho saktay

The pace at which I play freebies, that amount of time is far from enough. Imagine if I had considered the same for the other games in my backlog

Freebies usually get secondary attention from me. Games I buy are the top priority

Further evidenced by the fact that CerebralTiger will keep paying to keep this game forever in his library and still won't play it

Oh if I want, I can just not re-sub and do so whenever I have time and interest in playing anything from my Plus library. But then lose out on the opportunity to get even more games? Nahhhh

Your pace of finishing Demon's Souls/ DS Remake and GTA V says a lot about your interest in those games too. Shame shame shame

Yes, and it's only been 1.5 years since then. 6 whole months less than "a heck of a long time for anyone interested to play it"

Your pace of finishing Demon's Souls/ DS Remake and GTA V says a lot about your interest in those games too. Shame shame shame

I'm playing GTA V tho, just the part that NPD doesn't account for
