This game is shockingly bad

I hate how they simplified investigations in this game. I get that sometimes the investigation segments would get confusing when you didn't know where to go next, but removing all of the investigating was not the fucking solution to that

The whole Apollo trilogy is shockingly bad.

>>716100648 (OP)
It's a shame I actually liked Blackquill and Fulbright

>>716100648 (OP)
When was it bad?

>Apollo is wearing bandages now
>Isn't he badass?
>...
>Please like Apollo...

>>716101551
I have to beat it before the AAI collection doe

>>716101801
>Before AAI
Why? Those two games take place before Apollo's trilogy.

>>716101874
That's the way the cookie crumbled

>>716101747
Same, but they were wasted in this dogshit

The Rise of Skywalker to AJ's Last Jedi

>>716101962
But even by release order they didn't come first. If you go by release it's just AJ then I1 and I2, one of the best games in the series, then back to shit with DD and SOJ, then finally kino of the highest order is back on the menu with GAA1 and GAA2

>>716100648 (OP)
Yeah, it's easily the worst AA game. At least Apollo Justice had a good tutorial case.

>>716102156
>AJ tries something new with characters and systems, even if it mostly fails
>DD takes all of that and pretends none of it ever happened
Strangely accurate

>>716102491
>Yeah, it's easily the worst AA game
I don't understand how the fuck people can say this shit when this game exists
SoJ is literally DD but 10 times worse
This was the first game where it felt like I was playing a game made by someone that never played Ace Attorney

>>716100648 (OP)
>>716101551
nope

>>716102205
Well it can be saving the best for last then. Except the first trilogy is the best probably.

>>716102205
SOJ was the last Ace Attorney game

>>716100648 (OP)
Bought a 3ds for it, made me drop the entire series.

>>716100648 (OP)
I thought the twist in the second case was cool but overall, yeah. Sucked out loud.

>>716105076
chronologically

>>716100648 (OP)
Only good Ace Attorney is 3.

Another case solved through little girl panties

pictured: the only Ace Attorney games worth playing
(I also liked Layton, but I think only people who played Layton before liked it)

>pictured: the only Ace Attorney games worth playing
oh hell naw. the first 3 dude. i even switched out the menu music on the apollo trilogy for pursuit 2001.

>>716102839
AA6 is good. You're retarded

>>716100648 (OP)
WHERE THE FUCK IS ACE ATTORNEY 7, CAPCOM. IT'S BEEN YEARS. YEARS!

>>716100648 (OP)
Turnabout Academy might be my most hated case in the series

My wife

>>716100648 (OP)
When I first played Dual Destinies it was so bad it almost put me off of the rest of the series entirely. It's pretty telling when the DLC case is the best case of the game. Fortunately I stayed through and decided to play SoJ and TGAA which were pretty enjoyable.

>>716100648 (OP)
Playing this game after Trials and Tribulations and Apollo Justice was whiplash. Holy shit, it's shocking how boring this game was.

>"Apollo Justice" trilogy
>Apollo gets cucked out of the spotlight in all three games

>>716109134
based but you missed out on kino of it playing that music naturally for the last case

>>716109134
Ah fuck I just realized that's Apollo trilogy in the pic and not the original trilogy, lol.

>>716110727
yeah that's punished phoenix in aa4

They should make an AA game with 100% courtroom gameplay and no investigations.

>>716100648 (OP)
Wait until you get to SoJ.

My problem with DD/SoJ is that the dialogue feels so "disneyfied". Like the characters are flanderized versions of themselves. It's like they changed the writer. Like, the original trilogy had mature dialogues. The new one had the opposite.

>>716109960
My wife isn't that fat!

>>716101801
Apollo was best in AA4 when he was just a rookie lawyer who looked up to Phoenix and Kristoph, whatever the fuck they did to him in DD and SoJ was retarded when Capcom could've just expanded on his Gramarye backstory and had him becoming a more experienced lawyer on his own without Phoenix. It's like in DD they forgot that Apollo was still supposed to be a new lawyer so then in SoJ they had to do that whole "you're a real lawyer now!" thing and give him his big moment after Phoenix took the center stage for most of the game again.
Phoenix in DD/SoJ should've been like Mia in the original trilogy where he shows up only when Athena and Apollo need real help to win their case.

>>716110824
I used to agree with this sentiment but looking back there's a lot of charm in the investigation sequences, especially in the original trilogy. They should just cut down on the investigation sequences and make the court segments longer. Or bring back Gumshoe and Franziska

I love Ema!

>>716100648 (OP)
Still better than SoJ
Blackquill best prosecutor btw

Wait till you play the last one. I love the AA franchise and I couldn't get past the final case, which is always the best case by a fucking mile.

>>716110907
It's been bad since the beginning. Blame Crapcom localizers.
it's a mess because of the localizer "creative liberties" with the earlier games such as Khurain, character personality, etc. The fanfiction they've been building up no longer match with Shu Takumi's vision, and they can't really wing it as usual, so the localizers just went fuckall and wrote their own shit in the later games, hence the dogshit writing.

>>716101551
Only good AA games are AA 1-3, Apollo 1, and Investigations 1

>>716112917
It's actually so good that it has never been retranslated

>>716112983
AJ and I1 are ass

>>716112917
I hate Trannylators as the next guy, but come the fuck on. You know this is some giga cope.

>>716113301
That was the dark age of the Law

I think my previous post got swallowed into the abyss

>>716104801
These 3 collections have 36 cases. If I do a case a day it will take me at least a month.

>>716100648 (OP)
>Cases barely have any connection to each other leaving the overall story weak
>Every fucking character you talk to is "I AM SILLY"
>Investigation segments watered down by being extremely linear, can't inspect anything unless the game outright tells you, so you miss out on a ton of flavor dialog
>Second game in the ""Apollo trilogy"", he fucks off less than halfway through the game
Yeah it's pretty shit
>>716102839
>>716112698
Literally how?? At least SoJ has likeable characters, cool setting and a coherent story. DD was painful to get through, outside the DLC case.
>>716112983
>Investigations 1
Those two cases towards the end are a slog. Apollo Justice is my second favorite game though, I'll give you that one.
