I failed that test miserably. In my defense I live in Canada so I'm not used to naming more than 10 places.

Speaking of video games with UI vomit

The only saving grace is that they mostly auto-hide outside of combat

Aren't townhall questions supposed to be about the site? Why did this turn into Voicemail Dumptruck?

I get what Dan and Jeff are saying about Advance Wars series getting straight to gameplay without all the character fluff in contrast to Fire Emblem... but for me a strategy game (especially single-player campaign) needs characters and story to imbue drama and sense of progression. Otherwise it's too abstract, and as boring and hollow as playing chess against an AI.

Not defending Fire Emblem specifically - I haven't played any of those - maybe their stories suck and they'd be much better games without.

I'm glad to see they added recipe book.

That was one of my complaints in the first game. I didn't remember any of the required ingredients so I just stuck to 1 or 2 dishes I know and random crap that came out of the pot from throwing in whatever I had on hand.

R . Well, tbf, Bakalar always says "This game sucks!" if a game has visuals that aged poorly. It's a site staple.

Listening to Rorie's anecdotes during production of this game instantly made this video one of my favourites in recent years.

Yay, I'm glad someone at GB finally played Half-Life: Alyx!
