Fire Emblem, Wolverine, and Control Resonant (with Lucy James)
Summary
Triple Click hosts Maddie Myers, Kirk Hamilton, and guest Lucy James discuss Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, praising its story and turn-based combat while criticizing repetitive dungeon crawling and busywork. The group then shifts to Marvel's Wolverine, analyzing its linear structure, repetitive combat, and divergent X-Men narrative. They debate the game's development issues and whether its unique "what if" story justifies the lack of player agency and engagement.
