NeonPhoenix 06/04/25 11:49:22 PM #1:	I played the HD Trilogy version on Steam. The new sprites look awesome and way better than the crunchy DS sprites I remember when I played the first 4 games in 2008 lol, but the lack of extra content and chapter select really sucks. I'm pretty sure the DS versions had those, but oh well. I still remembered the killers of all the cases, but forgot a lot of details and even some victims lol. But I still had a lot of fun replaying everything. Definitely would do it again in another 20 years >_> Wish I could play these games again for the 1st time... If I had to rank them: 3 > 1 > 2 with Case 1-4 being my favorite (though all the final cases are phenomenal) 2 is still a great game. 2-4 is an amazing case and 2-2 is also great. 2-1 & 2-3 are kinda mid compared to the other cases but are still fun >_> 1 is the original. Never played nothing like it before and it set the bar. Every case is great with 1-4 being the best in the series imo. 1-5 is boring and way too long, but it wasn't part of the original game so whatever 3 is much better than I remember. The way all the cases are connected with it culminating with the final case is a fantastic way to end the series. The entire game was a blast from beginning to end. Other than the Trilogy, I only played 4, 5, and Investigations 1, but the OG trilogy blows all those games out of the water (from what I remember of them at least) Also, Maya best girl. Pearl is right!! Phoenix x Maya OTP! Fuck Iris! ....AMA? >_> What's your experience with Ace Attorney? Please tell me you've at least played the OG trilogy, right? --- https://imgur.com/u2HR4nG <cite>NeonPhoenix posted [p:985310047] in Replayed A...

_____Cait 06/04/25 11:57:00 PM #7:	Yeah the original trilogy is great. 3-5 is by far my fav, with 2-4 close behind. 4 was interesting, but was jarring for obvious reasons, and the last case was just so weird, and made worse in retrospect as it never came up again. Im fine with Phoenix being how he is, but that whole Juror system thing sucked, 5 is full of lame cases. You already know who did it, and proving how they did is dumb because you are basically just forcing the game to push forward until you can finally select the option you know about. Also, Athena p. I cant put my finger on why, but I dont like her. Maybe because we already had Trucy as a good assistant. Maybe because she adds nothing. Maybe because shes got no ties to the main cast and doesnt seem to fit in. Anyway, the game is skippable. 6 is better. Not only does it bring back important characters, but it finally gives Apollo the development he needed. They also bring up the dumb plot holes left from 4. I think the ending is close, or on par, with 3-5. The setting is unique too. I havent finished Great Attorney, but it kind of feels bloated and similar to 5, where you are just spinning your wheels waiting to see what convoluted way you need to trigger the correct sequence of events. It never feels natural or earned. --- ORAS secret base: http://imgur.com/V9nAVrd 3DS friend code: 0173-1465-1236 <cite>_____Cait posted [p:985310144] in Replayed A...

I remember case 1 of Apollo actually being good, but I barely remember the other 3 cases, especially the last case 4-1 is great. 4-2 is alright, I enjoyed it (other than beating the dead horse on the ~~magic panties~~ joke.) 4-3 is pretty bad for many reasons, not the least of which is the gameplay and having to listen to that song recording over and over. 4-4 is interesting. Im not sure how I feel about it. Felt very contrived and surreal, like someone else said, it felt very fanfic-y.

Its hard to say, exactly, especially because its definitely been the longest since Ive played the original, which I did enjoy a lot. I think it may mostly be three things: 1) I feel like Im reading these games more than playing them. Maybe I just had more patience for it back when I played the original. I also really liked Hotel Dusk, which I played around that time as well. But 2, 3, and now 4, it feels like Im just giving my clicking finger exercise by constantly advancing text. 2) I really dont care for the game mechanics that much. In the original, its pretty basic stuff, with the fifth case (which is my overall favorite, in what seems like it may be an unpopular opinion) then making some good use of the DSs capabilities as well. Thats all fine. But then, the psychic lock stuff in subsequent games, and this whole perception bracelet thing in Apollo Justice, it just feels to me like they put their effort into developing unnecessary new game mechanics when they ought to have put their effort into better storytelling. Which leads to the third 3) The plots just havent interested me like they did in the original. I know that 3 is usually cited as the best in the series, but I was kind of rolling my eyes at stuff like Godots identity and what have you. Like I said, I think the series maybe just isnt for me.

I completely lost interest in the series with Apollo Justice (plus I refuse to reward companies who enforce shitty business practices, so I got out of the series there - from what I've read in reviews, I jumped ship at the right time), but I still absolutely adore the original trilogy and the Investigations games. I think 2-4 is my favourite case just because of what an adrenaline rush it is from start to finish.
