Weird West Review

-
In this alternate universe, the West was won by trying a bunch of ideas so crazy they just might work… and if they don’t, hitting the quick-load button to revert to an earlier save and trying something even crazier until you pull it off. Thanks to that freedom to experiment with its world as you explore, Weird West is one of those games that feels like a stealth and combat playground even as it tells five mostly serious, well-written stories with interesting decisions throughout and a thoughtful conclusion. And with so much ground to cover and replayability to investigate, it’s well worth putting up with some quirks and underwhelming loot. What ties Weird West’s plot together is a group of shadowy figures using a magical brand to force your character’s consciousness into the bodies of various unsuspecting people. It’s a clever play on the way so many games have us take control of a character who already exists in that world but still need to bring us up to speed on their identity: h...

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader – How Did it Take This Long to Get a Warhammer CRPG?

-
It’s truly bizarre that across the nearly 30 years of Warhammer video games, we haven’t had a single one that attempted to channel the tabletop Warhammer experience by utilizing the genre that feels best suited to do so: CRPGs. But that’s all about to change, as Pathfinder developer Owlcats has been cooking up something to fill this void. During an extensive hands-off demo of Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, I checked out its extremely chunky turn-based combat system, drowned in its plethora of dialogue options and social skill checks, and nodded approvingly at its lovingly faithful depiction of Warhammer’s morbid universe. While it’s still very early, so far this CRPG is shaping up to be everything I’ve wanted from a Warhammer video game. If you’ve ever played (or even glanced at) a game of Warhammer 40K, then you probably know it’s designed for a hyper-specific kind of nerd who loves calculations, large-scale drama, and an incredibly detailed world one could easily get lost in.

Nintendo to Cut Price of Single Joy-Con Controllers

-
Nintendo announced today that it will permanently cut the price of a single Joy-Con controller in the US from $49.99 to $39.99. Announced in a tweet, Nintendo says that, starting November 9, the price of a single Joy-Con controller will be reduced by $10. The price of a Joy-Con pair package will remain the same at $79.99. At time of writing, the price cut has only been announced in the US and Japan. As you can see in the tweet above, Nintendo only specifically mentions the Neon Blue left Joy-Con controller and the Neon Red right Joy-Con controller. It's unclear if Nintendo is just specifically advertising those two Joy-Con colors or if the company is saying that only those two colors are receiving the price cut. Our bet is on the latter considering the phrasing of Nintendo's tweet. IGN has reached out to Nintendo for further comment and will update this story accordingly when we hear back. After this new price cut is in place, the price of a single controller will align more equitably with the price of the dual pack. Before, it was $79.99 for the dual pack and $49.99 for a single controller, which gave the dual pack a roughly $20 discount over buying two individual Joy-Con. Following the price cut, buying the dual pack is practically the same price as buying two individual Joy-Con.

If you're someone who's purchased multiple Joy-Con, there's a good chance you've run into the unfortuante phenomenon of Joy-Con drift. If you have, be sure to read Nintendo's formal apology for this unfortunate controller phenomenon. Here's how to fix Joy-Con drift if you're curious to repair your controller yourself.
