Dont judge me, I design your manhole
Case 1 was really, really long but it's probably the best first case in the series. I don't think they'll be able to top singalong time with Rockstar Jesus.

The DLC menu is working correctly now, for anyone who was having troubles with it earlier.

Also about Case 1, Pees'lubn Andihstan'dhin suddenly breaking into Heavy Metal was amazing. I really need gifs of all his over the top guitar playing, and the way they changed his 'tone' was brilliant. But outside of all that, holy poo poo Khur'ain is hosed up, I have a feeling this games going to get pretty dark, even when compared to the last game.

Case 1 was very fun, but I honestly enjoyed being able to examine everything again in Case 2 and get lots of character building little facts from Athena and Apollo's bickering.

Also in Case 2, that cliffhanger before the trial regarding the office legit makes me mad and pumped to take down the people responsible. And on the day after Mia's death too.

So what the hell am I supposed to do in early case 2 after talking to Retinz? It says to give Trucy the noteook but she doesn't appear and everywhere else has nothing for me.

Oh man, as of the beginning of the trail of Case 2, I loving hate Sadmadhi with a passion I have not felt towards a prosecutor in this series since Von Karma. He's just so incredibly lovely to everyone. Poor Ema even started eating Snackoos again after dealing with him!

Ema eating snackoos may be the most heartbroken expression I've seen in any of the Ace Attorney games. Like above and beyond verge of mental breakdown Adrian Andrews levels of bad times

Oh wait, I can totally believe that. God damnit, Ace Attorney.

Why do I find it funny when Edgeworth threatens Gumshoe with a cut salary, but unfair and sad when Sadmadhi does the same to Ema? ...Probably because Ema is more competent but still.

EDIT: THat stupid video where you need to pick what the shadow is near the end.. I get that it's the body, but you never see it on screen, so what the hell is it?

I imported two-thirds of the original DS trilogy from Japan for God's sake, how the hell did this sneak up on me? Also... how is it the 10th game? There's the first three, Justice for All, Edgeworth spin-off, Dual Destinies, Layton crossover, and that one set in the past. Add in this latest, and you're still at nine.

Buying it regardless, mind. It is still an Ace Attorney game, whichever number it is.

I think I'm close to the end, thlugh. Killer is on the stand and Allegro os playing.

Why is Gaspen so petty, holy poo poo. You're going to give the kid the death penalty just so you can humiliate a guy? That's von Karma levels of lovely.

It's telling that Gaspen Payne could only be respected in a country where being a defense attorney is illegal. I'm pretty sure he's actually the shittiest prosecutor in the series, and not really in a compelling or fun way. He's just an awful person and I want Winston back.

Case 1: He literally goaded you into unknowingly tying your fate to that of Ahlbi and then argued to the judge that the death sentence was far more appropriate than a standard prison sentence. Dude's a murderer and I want to never see his face again unless it's behind bars

Okay, this part has me completely stumped.

Case 2, near the end. I'm trying to figure out what is the shadowy figure in the video. I thought it was the body, but it's not on the video. What are you supposed to select because I can not figure this out.

Phoenix in the Tiger DLC costume is the best thing. I'm just going to pretend this is what he actually wore to Khurai'n, and didn't bring any of his regular suits.

Also gently caress Gaspen Payne so much, he tried to get Phoenix executed for completely petty reasons.

ImpAtom
May 24, 2007

To be very slightly fair:

It's stated later that a lot of lawyers begged and pleaded for forgiveness after being convicted, so it sounds like he just genuinely wanted Phoenix humiliated.

It still means he was willing to get a child DIE to humiliate him though.

Gaspen Payne is an even bigger shitbag this time around, what with trying to get Phoenix and a nine year old killed. I honestly thought he couldn't go lower than triggering Athena's PTSD in AA5

I didn't like the first case a whole lot, mainly because of that long, long introduction and how contrived that setup was for the whole thing.

I tried presenting the lyrics twice before I was actually able to, I wasn't a fan of that. Metal Jesus gimmick should probably have been more endearing to me, but coming off the last game it came off as "people liked Marlon, right? Let's do that guy again." except without anywhere near as good a character design.

Ok after like 3 game overs I found what it is. The shadow is mr hat BUT you can't present him. Instead you present the shadow that rises up when Trucy enters.

I ended up looking this up and holy hell the solution is un-intuitive. You have to present the first shadow that appears behind Bonny, the one of Mr. Hat. From there, it works itself out to the conclusion.

I feel like the whole court feels pretty AAPL-inspired. On the one hand there's the DC act dynamic, and I feel like the Divination Seances and reinterpreting the facts reminds me a lot of the AAPL bit with the parrot. (Pees'lubn reminded me of Bardly.)
