Case in point. If I'm playing a western, I want to play as Eastwood or Wayne.

Yes, it's the pig, unless he's a

black brothel owner.

The werewolf also reads as a castizo to me.

or Boyd Crowder

More pre-embargo hype, this time from a Gamespot editor:

Weird West is phenomenal so far. It’s like Fallout New Vegas meets Dishonored in an isometric mystical western setting I love exploring. The world feels remarkably reactive and experimental. WolfEye’s pedigree leaves fingerprints all over this game.

Looking like Raph's winning over the journos again, though that doesn't necessarily mean getting customer enthusiasm.

I think Tomato is funny. Sue me.

It’s like Fallout New Vegas meets Dishonored

It’s like Fallout New Vegas meets Dishonored in an isometric mystical western setting

What this even means?

 

[Fedora Master]

It's janky as fuck and everyone is an unlikeable asshole?

What this even means?

Stealth action gameplay with emergent systems and highly-reactive NPCs in a western setting.

That they're too hipster to just use the word "RPG"

 

[Viata]

So nothing like Dishonored and Fallout New Vegas?

Guess I'll grab this on GoG. Looks compelling on some level.

 

[Ryzer]

Looks like a phone game coming out on play store.

Art direction is trash and doesn't fit Weird West at all, which is supposed to be a subgenre of horror. Cel shading makes it look infantile and goofy like Borderlands

UI is disgusting too

 

[rusty_shackleford]

prediction: #1 mod will be "remove terrible shader"

 

[Saduj]

We're never going to get a proper Wild West crpg, are we?

 

[Viata]

We are never getting a proper X crpg.

 

[Potato Canon]

It's janky as fuck and everyone is an unlikeable asshole?

so it's like Elex then.

 

[Skdursh]

Can't wait to pirate this and never play it. Years down the road I'll come across it on one of my old drives and consider it for moment, but then notice Wizardry 8 a few folders down and play that again instead.

Okay I didnt realize that their is no representation for white men ...that is a problem and I may raise my ire in the best way, with my wallet and not buy this game

I have always supported understandable inclusivity in games but not at the expense of my demographic. I dont want to turn this into a crisis but Im disappointed

I think you joking now, I was being serious so I hope Im not misunderstanding the humor and your original post about the pig?

Bit annoyed that it apparently releases at midnight UK tonight. I thought it would be out earlier today.

Just received a pre-order email from GOG stating that Weird West won't be available on their store until late April. Figures... at least they sent a download code for the first two Desperados.
