Heather Alexandra's discussions

You are being -the- person in the comments right now. I know there’s multiple routes. Let me enjoy the game? Read more

I have the file still but there’s only so many opportunities to use it. Read more

Gods, friend, think of the Gazers! Read more

Fidelity would like a word with you. (Seriously though, dude, what you doing here? Blue Sky became Looking Glass and System Shock is absolutely a better game. This is also the moment were we literally get 451 for the first time.) Read more

Talking just as a player, I’m sympathetic to both things. (It’s not a contest, y’know?) I’m a WHM player and finally got AST to 70 a few weeks ago. I love healing and yeah, I really wanted a new healing class to switch things up.

But I also know a lot of folks eager to express themselves in FFXIV, and locking races to… Read more

Sure, but I think plenty of folks expected healer (with buffs!) because of the waltzes in FFXI. And because there hasn’t been a new healing class since Heavensward.  Read more

Yeah, I’m mostly okay with this because it’s not like I was gonna swap off White Mage anytime soon. I just hope that it’s a really active class and that the buffs are desirable/important.  Read more

I mean, they could do it all sorts of ways. You could retroactively pick it by talking about your sire in dialogue (think KOTOR II and Revan,) you might play a flashback as you remember more about the Mass Embrace since you don’t really get to see your sire that long in the opening sequence. You could fight some… Read more

I wrote this in the middle of a busy day tucked in a lounge, listening to my interview and writing to meet embargo. It doesn’t mean anything other than “Heather tagged this with the platforms.” Read more

In this demonstration, it swapped around. Most of the gameplay was first person, but for certain combat moments or navigation things like climbing it would pull the camera out. Made me think of Escape from Butcher Bay in some ways.

As I understand it, you simply join one later on. It’s just not something you immediately pick at the first character creation thing. First you pick your background, pronouns, and stuff. Then you do the opening portions of the game, and eventually join clans and factions. Read more

Itsuno-san, yes! Read more

You know, you’re the second person today to say it’s Carmack! Anyway, I’m a shit artist and I delight in how frustratingly vague it is. If it helps, he worked on Power Stone. A game that I love. Read more

I’m pretty sure I cleared out a lot of stuff to make sure I had room for Skies of Arcadia. Which is very on brand for me at this point. Read more

I have no clue where the data went. Used to play a ton of that game, and am perpetually perturbed that PSO2 is out on the Switch.... in Japan.

Love this disc, BTW:

Yeah, I can talk about this. Honestly, I partition those things. Criticism has layers, and just because someone might say “But wouldn’t you want a gun for the post-apoc?” doesn’t derail what I’m talking about. It’s a kind of a non sequitur. My issue here is the presentation and tone more than anything. Like, yeah. If… Read more

Wouldn’t go that far, but while I got you here #DidYouKnow that many video game companies often pay liscensing fees directly to gun manufacturers to feature their products in games? (Although there are ways to get around this.) Read more

I bought a gun *skin* that turned my stuff tie-dye. As far as I know, you can’t just buy weapons with microtransactions in this game. I looted the gun from a chest and unlocked the perks for the scope because I’m a GAMER yo. But go off or whatever if it makes you feel better. Read more

Honestly, I just went back after finishing the game on my default playthrough. If you beat it right away, you can unlock Dante Must Die mode as well. Which is good if you’re not eager to work through Son of Sparda and wanna get to the nitty gritty. Read more
