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.

Demon's Souls PS5 Mystery Door Has Been Solved

-
Well, that was fast. After reports emerged that there is a mysterious door in the Demon’s Souls PS5 remake that didn’t exist in the original, streamer Distortion2 unlocked the mysterious gate and uncovered the hidden mysteries within. Soon after the release of Demon’s Souls on PS5, players soon discovered a mysterious door in the first world that didn’t exist in the original PlayStation 3 version. A mystery was set into motion, especially since developer Bluepoint is known for adding mysteries into its remakes as it did with Shadow of the Colossus.

Spoilers for the Demon’s Souls Mystery Door Below

This door was hidden behind an illusory wall in Boletaria world 1-3. However, there didn’t appear to be any kind of key nearby that could unlock it. The race to open the door was on.

As it turns out, the solution to opening the door lay with one of the new items added to the Demon’s Souls remake, the Ceramic Coin. These Coins were hidden across different Fractured Worlds with either Pure White or Pure Black tendency. The design on the coin matched the design on the mysterious door, which is why it seemed smart to start collecting these coins. And that proved to be the answer! Distortion2, who was the first to point out the importance of the Ceramic Coin, traded in 30 coins to Sparkly the Crow, an item trader in Shrine of Storms, and received in return a Rusted Key.

A veranda with a corpse, but on that corpse is a full Penetrator armor set and sword.

Bluepoint actually showed off the secret veranda area in a tweet it sent out to prominent Demon’s Souls streamers. The developers captioned the postcard style image with “Wish you were here!” a cheeky message in hindsight.

The coins were also a good lede because the Shadow of the Colossus remake secret also relied on coins. Except instead of 30, players needed 79 hidden coins to access the easter egg Bluepoint added.
