Can’t wait for the epic sequel, Fire Emblem: Winter Bus.

But seriously, this one was definitely a fun ride of a hack (pun intended).

why is this a thing

this hack was made 4 the super hit post contest by sigmaraven aka bigmood. tl;dr it’s a ragefest-like contest where hacks made intentionally bad/batshit insane can thrive.

I tried to play this game but got the “bad ending”.

I hate fire emblem games that do this sort of stuff, I gave this game an honest shot despite being something I shouldn’t enjoy and then you punish me for engaging with the games mechanic (reading the sign) and not using save states after having read the sign.

It is like FE6 having the audacity to giving you an incomplete experience despite you giving it the full of your time.

Although honestly, I can’t even get that mad because I am sick today, and honestly. Enjoyed listening to some of the music on the way. And because frankly, getting mad at this is probably the intention so I replay the game with the “enemy phase” animation making it even longer.

Skip this one. I Don’t hate it (despite hating bad endings in fire emblem), but I only tolerated it because I was sick in bed. I think I will forget about it in about 5 days, which probably won’t be what a real trip to Las Vegas would be like. I would remember that stuff for the rest of my life.

you were lured off the path of good bus etiquette by the temptation of evil

Nah.
Used the stinky axe and RNG manipulation to win.

You could say I am bad to the bone.

I now finished the hack. All things considered, while I did have to use save states for RNG manipulation, thus making it not ironman friendly, basically no fire emblem games actually are.

Had actual motivation to play the game unlike fire emblem fates and awakening which can’t invest me for their lives.

Honestly I expected more from the ending.

trust me, the ending’s even CRAZIER on bus difficulty! it’s even more accurate to the OG desert busses lore!!!

Let me guess. You get to make the way back from NY to where your from?
And then it loops?

i’ll never tell :shushing_face:

No, like, the road to Las Vegas sucks. The way from California sucks less but it’s still an empty wasteland that lasts 3-4 hours going 80 miles per hour. From Arizona is worse.
