Also this game doesn't really have any difficulty other than a little bit of thought at times. But when some of the options are ridiculous and you just want to see the text you can do it without fear or redoing 35 minutes of trial. It's pretty amazing.
You do know that you've always been able to save at any point, and now it doesn't even reset you when you do it, right?
When I played the first game it took me a while to figure that out. So many tears.
i didn't even know until late in the 3rd game...
Yes, but now you don't even have to bother with that! It's glorious.Quote:

AA4 is shaping up to be so much fun, and much more love to Apollo than I would have thought. But I'm still on the first case (I blame pokemons).
I liked Apollo Justice but it wasn't all that memorable for me. I'm hard pressed to remember the big plot twist, let alone the details of each case. Also, it was a bit anti-climactic: You find the big bad guy guilty in case 1, but then, like he's double guilty in the last case? Should have kept the revenge satisfaction for the end of the game IMO
I just finished case 2 and both case 1 and case 2 are my favorite case 1 and 2 out of the series. I have a hard time believing this won't be my favorite Ace Attorney game at this point. It'll seriously have to fall flat on its face and i don't think it does! From what i hear even Case 3 is good! Case 3!
and the in-game models are so good. The sprites are beautiful in the other games, but i don't even miss them. I'd even rather see the models acting out whatever instead of the anime.
The third case is probably my favorite so far. It's got an interesting premise that they haven't really used before. I liked case 2, but by the end I seriously wanted it to just be over. If I ever have to hear the word "Yokai" or "Yokai Craze" again it'll be too soon.
EDIT: I feel like the translators' heretofore valiant attempts to make this game set in California really bit them in the ass this time with case 2. I'm sure for this case they just threw up their arms and said "Alright, fuck it, they're Yokai. And it's a weird Japanese village in the mountains of Cali."
California????
NO. YOKAI ARE COOL. YOU GO WATCH NATSUME YUUJINCHOU. Case 2 took a little longer than i expected, but i still liked it. i really like Damian Tenma. He's so すばらしい~Quote:

I'm constantly surprised that this game is in 3D. These models keep the same level of charm as their sprite counterparts - it's boggling!
Did I just read a Kurt Angle reference from Phoenix Wright? Also, BLAST PROCESSING!

Ace Attorney 5 Orca-defending DLC coming next week
*sqwueek*... Fweeeeeeet!
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney -Dual Destinies- is an incredible game filled with drama, comedy, murder, mayhem, and most of all, lawyers. So many lovable lawyers. Soon it will have a mustached pirate orca as well. In this special prequel adventure, a lovable punk rock pirate girl recruits Phoenix Wright and his pal Pearls (in their very first case!) to mount the defense for her killer whale companion,. He's been accused of murder!
The case will be made available for download on November 21st for $5.99. Sounds like a small price to pay for what will likely be the greatest thing ever in a videogame ever.
Did the main game have less cases, or seem shorter in general, than past games?
Trying to determine how disgusted I should be over Capcon being Capcon.
It had 5 cases but 4 was kind of short and led directly into 5. I think all the old games had 4 cases except for the original that had the extra 5th case made for the DS, so this is par for the course with kind of a 5th extra DLC case.
I don't feel cheated is the point.
According to my logs Dual Destinies is longer than the first game by a couple of hours, and the first game is longer than the rest due to the extra chapter.
I usually hate dlc, but they gave a full game here, and if the dlc case is a full blown case and not something super short the can have my 6 bucks. That's the exact right reason for dlc.
But I like hating Capcon. Give me a minute, I'll come up with some reason why this is still an outrage.
I know, I felt so confused last night. After being perfectly content to watch the corpse of Capcom wither and die, they release this magnificent game.

I'm still on case 4 but when I saw Psych Locks come back for the first time I was just so happy. Fuck the other losers. Phoenix (Nick?) is the man
Aaaannnnnnd DONE! Man, what a great finish and a great game.
Anyone slightly disappointed that you didn't get to see the dude's real face? I get that he's supposed to be kind of a soulless person without an identity but it would have been nice to see. Awesome breakdown, though.
ALSO: Way to tease us about Maya with throwing Pearl at us. At least they acknowledged she exists. This is of course just a huge fucking tease for her return in the inevitable AA6
this is the only reason for wrestling, youtube, the internet, any technology beyond the original Nintendo DS to even exist
Holy shit. I'm almost glad wrestling exists.
Poor Maya lost her tag team partner.
That's it. Internet's over. Everyone go home.
The HD Trilogy is $4.99 total through iOS IAP.
.__. the conclusion kind of bums me out, like it brings down my enjoyment of the rest of the game, and now i'm questioning giving it GOTYOTY. maybe it should get GOTYOTYEF1T
and the anime cutscenes
are just kind of shitty
if i could find a .gif of "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaanghhhhhhh" i think it'd be gotyoty again.
a certain gigi's thoughts on AA5 are just getting me down
"I'M FINE!"
The extra case is SO GOOD. For some reason i thought it'd be a cheap cash grab, but they did at least as much here as with the extra case on AA1: new characters with lots of new crazy animation, new music, the case is just as entertaining if not more than the rest of the game. i think the anime is actually higher quality here than the rest of the game too.
I don't know if i've said it here, but all of the characters are really outstanding in this one. The others had at least a few i really didn't care for, but here the only one is Florent L'Belle, and he's still great for his awfulness.
That's good to hear, I've only played a little of the extra case since I've been busy in Hyrule.
I just beat it myself and all of this is true.Quote:

i wish Cacpcom would at least try to develop non-travesties if they're so hell-bent on mobile.
I'll wait til Capcom gets the DLC out of the way and compiles a physical release from this.
oh there was a news release

Don't put it past me.
WHY DID YOU SHOW ME THAT? NOW I WANT THE MEGA MAN ONES.
OMG they have Ghouls 'N Ghosts and Resident Evil too.
Fuck, those glasses are so good.
I want them so bad, but they'll never be released in the US.
well bbobb, if you still lived in Japan...
:OOOOO first 3 Ace Attorney games are being released in 3D for 3DS in Japan in a collection thing for 3,990円 wooooooooow, English options are in the games
from Elliot Gay, @RyougaSaotome on the twitter:
"Oh? The whole thing is actually called Gyakuten Saiban 123 Naruhodou Collection. Does that mean a Edgeworth Collection is coming?"
(which might mean AA4+AI1+AI2!??!???!) WHICH MIGHT MEAN
THE MIRACLE HAPPEN ACTUALLY !!!!????????!??!?!?!
the neogaf said they're probably not full remakes, so probably the old games with 3D support...
but still maybe the miracle happen with AI2....
yeah, i just know Capcom Unity's gonna deliver on this one!
Eh. Looks like the iOS ports without some of the jank. Interest level... falling...
http://www.e-capcom.com/ecap/images/...0045441110.jpg
i guess the good news is that Svensson's not there to give us false hope anymore
I have purchased the first three games enough times to never call my support for it into question again. I think I can safely avoid this.
but did you see the keychains

Didn't buy the other one for $29 on eShop. Won't buy this one. Fuck yourself, Capcom.
Nintendo eShop: Wait longer, get lower resolution, pay 6X more.
If this uses the new engine I'm all over it. If it's just a port if the ios version, then nah.
It's Capcom, you know what it will be.
We're talking about the same company that scraped SFxTK for Ultra SFIV.
You know which one it is.
EDIT: Damn you Chuck..
http://www.appbank.net/2014/08/07/ip...n%2F870637.php
yoshi's dream land
i will buy it and i'm weirdly looking forward to it (as long as it's not a strange compromise like the 1-3 thing)
edit: just in case it's not obvious, it's AA5 on iOS w/retina (from Eliot Gay on twitter)
They need to fill in the gap between the original trilogy and AA5 first.
Story wise Apollo Justice is really the only one you need to play beforehand, but you really should play all of them.
Now.
AA5 came out today on iOS
Yeah, I got it. The first chapter's free.
I'll forgive Yoshi and Compass for not buying it on 3DS.
But I'll never forgive Chux.
No fucks, breh.
ILU tho
I've never played Ace Attorney.
So, I'm not getting any music when I play. I just got to the part where Ted Tonate shows up, there should be music, right? I hear the sounds, and the voices.
Yeah, that's really weird. Music works fine on my iPad Mini and iPhone 4S. Maybe you have to be good and it knows you're bad.
FUCK.
I didn't mean to sleep on this on 3DS, but my pile of shame was high and other games bumped it back. Kinda glad I did in the end because playing this on an iPad mini is really quite nice. One of those rare cases where the mobile version is actually better.
This is on sale for $17.99 on the eShop this week! AND Layton vs. Wright comes out tomorrow!
...and I realized I never finished the last case in Ace Attorney 3! Exclamation!
Evidence: I only actually own a copy of Ace Attorney 1. I borrowed 2 and 3 and never got around to grabbing 4. ...but Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright arrives at my doorstep tomorrow?!?
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/tnl/att...1&d=1409277384
Verdict: GUILTY.
Sentence: I still have the copy of Ace Attorney 3 in my possession. Time to finish that and give it back. Geez, how lame of me.
But what of Apollo Justice and Dual Destinies?! I don't have an iOS device... maybe I should get in on that eShop sale.
YOU NEVER FINISHED THE LAST CASE OF TRIALS AND TRIBULAITONS
YOU ARE GUILTY OF MURDERING A LOT OF PEOPLE, JAIL TIME FOREVER
I know! I'm going to play that on my DS Lite instead of some dumb RPG on the train. I also just ordered Apollo Justice. DON'T WORRY, NICK! WE'LL GET YOU OUT OF THIS.
Fonch, this eShop sale... is it worth skipping the 3DS version if I'm considering grabbing an iPad within a year or so for web and career purposes?
I must see this series through.
Must.
It just depends on what you want to play it on. It looks really nice on iOS, but (and i know people will go BUH BUH BUH about this) i think it loses something. it looks just a little off, to me anyway. :P I also have a terrible time actually playing games to completion on those things, but ymmv
you also have to play AAI and AAI2!
I don't have an iOS device, but AA5 is perfect on the 3DS. Just buy it. Then buy it again on iOS.
Oh shit! I forgot Wright vs Layton is arriving from Amazon any minute now!
I restarted the last case in PW5. I forgot that you play as Edgeworth! Oh man. This is going to be fun.
Wait, psychlocks. Dammit.
While I like the iPad version of the original trilogy less, Dual Destinies is pretty much perfect on iPad. It's more or less the same assets but everything is bigger and sharper and it's easier to appreciate the little details. Some of the textures (especiall in the courtroom) look horribly fuzzy blpwn up to big size but overall it looks great on the big screen). The UI works very well too and there's no more surrogate dual screen nonsense.Quote:
