Yeah, I heard about that, but I’ve been playing as male on my first playthrough so couldn’t confirm it.
Oof, I sure hope not.
Fates’ gameplay is definitely one of its stronger suits, a fantastic evolution of its mechanics; they finally integrated magic and bows into the weapon triangle seamlessly, the new daggers were a good weapon type, and all of the new class options covered damn near every weapon and movement combination you could think…
As someone who has been a big fan of the franchise since the first English release, I can give some good perspective on why Fire Emblem was on its deathbed when Awakenings came out; it largely comes down to a string of lackluster efforts from the developers that felt like they were just phoning it in for quite some…
Having just finished recruiting all the students, I would say the general baseline requirements are:
I still, still, do not understand why they didn’t just make Apex Legends “battle royale with mechs” to begin with. Titan gameplay in 2 feels really good, a great combination of smooth and weighty, and focusing on mech-vs-mech combat would really help set it apart from the competitors; you can still have the colorful…
It really doesn’t help that the game a) is so damn vague about how much of a stat you need in order to get them to want to join your class, like the one character being happy once my Lance skill had just barely reached C, while another wasn’t interested until my Reason had gotten to C+, and b) if you want to recruit…
Not long, ideally. We might even be at that point right now if Bioware hadn’t been quietly burning to the ground over the last several years.
We’ll get there...eventually. Some day, game devs will find the right balance between “everyone is bi, sleep with whoever you want” and “one or two token options”. I’d like to think we’re not that far off? I mean, it wasn’t that long ago when we had those early Bioware games where our romance options were literally…
Cause societal expectations and masculinity (dare I say toxic?) are a thing. Lesbians tend to be much more accepted in popular culture because women are already encouraged to be comfortable with emotional intimacy and vulnerability, whereas both are big no-nos for manly men. Guys who are afraid of not living up to…
Just finished Chapter 7 myself, and from what I’ve read, the timeskip doesn’t happen until Chapter 12 I think. All I know is we get a full calendar year before things get crazy.
Still midway through Black Eagle route, so I haven’t seen much of her yet, but at least in terms of personality and attitude, Hubert definitely strikes me as the game’s Tharja 2.0.
I’m at chapter 6 or 7 right now and I can definitely say that magic is quite strong in this game, for a couple of reasons:
They’re not presumptions. I’ve seen them. I’ve lived them. I’ve made excuses for them in my own group of friends, “don’t mind them, they don’t really mean it, they’re just messing around”. I’ve lived in toxic communities, seen them drive people away, sometimes intentionally, and watched those communities shrivel up…
Does the mute button stop doxing? People making new accounts to continue harassment? Stalking on social media? Swatting? Is it really necessary for 75% of a given community to be constantly sending reports and blocking people when they just want to sit down and play a game? But that’s entirely beside the point,…
I don’t see how people’s refusal to use a block/mute button relates to competition trash talk.
Why, yes, he was correct to grill me, and I very correctly laid out the guidelines for what is and isn’t acceptable from a logical, impartial and fair standpoint. Because that’s what this boils down to: not moral good, not what’s acceptable to the mainstream, (although those are certainly byproducts of it) but a…
You’re still ignoring the key factor: personal vs in-game. It might piss you off that someone is using a particular strategy, but they’re not saying anything directly about you, just that maybe you need more practice against that strategy. Taunts and insults are directed at the player to make them feel degraded,…
