This Land is My Land

On too much consideration, that's a really scary safe word...

Steam let me on, but doesn't indicate the Halloween sale is running... ???

Can't get to my wishlist to verify whether tons of things are on sale.

For me the sale began at 1pm EST.

Tempting...looks incredible.

I'm definitely interested, but not enough to pay them $40 to be their beta tester -- not yet anyway.

Gusington · November 20, 2019, 09:58:50 AM

Agreed...39.99 though...😎

Yep, this. It made me kind of laugh when I read in the game description: defining your narrative through the decisions you make. Don't think I'll be paying $40 to define my narrative in a Beta version of the game. But maybe down the road. We'll have to see how this develops. And I noticed they had some bigger area maps. Do you move around those like Mount and Blade and then go back to a first person view when entering a town, farmstead, fort, etc.? It does have some scenic screenshots and an interesting setting.

It also may be kind of tricky to make and keep it a fun game and not something else. The description mentions revenge, vengeance, retaliation and describes poisoning groceries. Then they show a screenshot of a wagon train, small town or farmstead. The native Americans themselves are shown to have encampments (part of the scenic appeal). So will the game just make all the characters military aged males and disregard the women, children, elderly people, non-combatants that would have also been in many of these locations? Not sure how to pull that off.

I know it probably sounds strange but I have no problem with my military aged character coming across another military aged character and shooting him in the face. ;D But if the other dude has his wife/kids cowering behind him inside the farm house or teepee then ......... it's no longer a game that helps you escape the realities of real life (IMO).

Interested to see if they can make this a narrative worth defining.........

I'm not interested in this at all. The title, the concept the setting...none if it appeals to me...

Gusington · November 20, 2019, 01:51:51 PM

But you still bought it, right?

Negative.

You will be.

You will be.

Looks cool but being honest, the screenies just make me want to go load up RDR2. :/

Also regarding the name -- it just keeps popping that quote from that old Jib Jab election video back into my head. "This land was my land.... BUT NOW IT'S OUR LAND!"

Gusington · November 20, 2019, 06:27:05 PM

Jib Jab! Classic.

Has anyone here played this one at all? I'm absolutely in love with the Spaghetti Western setting and will gladly eat up any good offerings in a tangentially related setting. Also, the idea of being a native warchief in the dying west is an untapped goldmine. Without a sale it's a bit expensive for my EA tastes unless it's basically done and being QA'd.
