Considering how much of a fuck up Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright was as well, Takumi is better off working original projects like Ghost Trick (or in the Great Ace Attorney's case, just branching off into a completely separate, brand new story).Īlso Athena > Maya.

I was happy with AA5 generally getting the series back on track. Takumi wrote the entire franchise into a wall with AA4 and did it in the worst way possible where there was nothing about its qualities that made it worth it. At worst it was unremarkable (or in the one case of a certain dubbed anime cutscene, cringe worthy), but the upside is it feels like one of the more balanced Ace Attorney games alongside AA1 and AA3, while with games like AA2 you had to have a massive tradeoff for that incredible final case. The game, for better and for worse, seemed to have been designed entirely around newcomers to the series, hence things like making the culprits obvious in the first couple of cases (even showing how the crime was committed). The worst thing I could say about AA5 was that it was relatively safe. Though I will say that I never got behind the notion that AA5 somehow betrayed its own series like many people like to claim, especially when coming off of AA4. I generally get the sense that I love Ace Attorney 5 more than most people ended up doing, many complaints leveled toward it that I kind of understand. Phoenix Wright, should I expect it to be anything like this? It's starting to make think twice about it. I also really wanted to play Professor Layton vs.

I don't remember ever being so frustrated with other PW games, am I the only one who was absolutely infuriated by this game? I'm still trucking thru it but I'm about to quit. The game wants you to present the police report because it doesn't say anything about finding a walkie talkie at the crime scene.

Well good thing I have a picture that shows the same broken walkie talkie that he's presents, but it's from last year proving that it's not only not his but was already broken and he knew it! Oh. In one of his statements he says that he 'goofed' during cleaning and didn't know it was broken, he then presents you the walkie talkie to inspect. When cross examining RIMEs you are trying to prove that his walkie talkie was broken and he knew it, or that it is not actually his. The game uses crazy logic that obviously makes no sense at some points just to derail the player. There where a bunch of times in the game where I felt like it would make sense for a character to feel a certain way which I would definitely consider and 'emotional inconsistency' but the game would want you to focus on other emotions for the sake of it just fitting in the games random plot twist logic.īut it continues beyond the mood matrix stuff. Personally I feel like emotions are too complex to predict. I remember this being a huge issues for me in the whole game. This also makes sense, but it's silly how the game prioritizes this to be the correct answer despite there being other contradictions that the game just used on other characters! Shouldn't the sadness of gone up if anything since he is now looking at the dead body of his Boss? It turns out it's another statement where he said he is shocked, but doesn't show emotion of surprise. In the statement that the captain is shot into the air by ORCA, and then next when the body rises his sadness drops from the previous statement while he is looking at the dead body. WTF?Īlthough the same thing happens when RIMES does his mood matrix, but the game no longer finds it inconsistent if the sadness drops from statement to statement even though it is focusing on the same subject. Wouldn't any normal person simply be MORE socked at this point? It even says that she is screaming, apparently it's because her sadness drops a small amountīTW: Putting a hat on a bleeding animal wouldn't magically make blood in water disappear. I don't understand how this makes perfect sense considering her focus would be on. During Norma DePlumes Mood Matrix the trigger is to notice that she becomes less a little less sad after she notices the victim rise up from the water but continues to be shocked.
