SeabassDebeste posted... de killer in e2-1 is a nice cameo!
looking forward to hearing about the rest of this case. it's so good.
how far into e2-2 are you?
I'm through with e2-2. Currently in "beginning part 2" of e2-3
But still talking about e2-1, the game does a lot of pretty smart things that I think the series sometimes gets dinged for, Like
the fact that the presence of a "red hood" was not an airtight evidence-based argument and there actually were two people in red hoods. Also how Knightley does a lot of smart things like switching the guns. I feel like there are plenty of instances where I've thought "well that doesn't mean anything in real life" or "why wouldn't the criminal just do this?" The big twist in this case is really nice. The fact that the assassination was
staged is one of those twists that you can piece together right before your character does, so it's satisfying, rather than one of those twists that's pretty obvious from the get-go.
Anyway, Knightley is a good character. You look at him and you immediately get Luke Atmey meets Jake Marshall vibes. I'm into the spinning gun animation and the voice the translators gave him.
His motive, while slight, is believable given the character that is presented. It's nice sometimes to just get an old-fashioned "I'm a bad dude and I hated this guy" motive. Like I mentioned earlier: he does seem to be smart in many of his choices. But then again... why'd you touch the bullets man? And also again: the big problem with these AAI games is: just why? Why let Edgeworth investigate in the first place? Why continue to engage with him? Just walk away bro!The best twist about Knightley though, and this really got my blood pumping, is that he goes from
culprit to victim by the next case! This really got me stoked for E2-2.
The President of Zheng Fa has got to be up there in terms of the ugliest characters in AA history. I thought it was weird that they basically let him
walk away unscathed from the fake assassination attempt/conspiracy. But - like De Killer - this also seems like it will be touched on as the game proceeds.
