guess sandman got admiral agenda too
Or maybe Bakkin meant it was pointless in the sense Aramaki had too many hostages with him, which for some reason she did not mention to Marco even though she's literally trying to guilt trip him into freeing her son:bamathink: what you think @MarineHQ @EmperorKinyagi
Yeah fuck him. Dude's running Admiral agendas now.

Anyone played The great ace attorney? Is it as good as the Phoenix wright trilogy?
Its nowhere near the quality of PW games from what I've heard. I've only played up to Spirit Of Justice and thus not these games so I can't say from experience/for sure either though.

Steam has it 38% off for the next 21 hours if you have Steam ofc:

Some of the negative reviews say this too:
I have played all other Ace Attorney games and love them, but it just took me like 5 HOURS to finish the tutorial episode.

This game somehow feels slow as hell compared to all other Ace Attorney games. So much filler text and minor "twists" that don't add to the mystery, just slow it down.

I don't know if I'll have the patience to finish even the first game despite it's charm.

It feels like the game is constantly wasting your time which is something I despise. I played the original on DS and enjoyed that but everything is so verbose in this one. Animations are slow, skipping much of the dialogue has no impact, it's exhausting that this game wastes so much of your time when you play it. I kept thinking I would go back to it but I can't. You spend too much time not doing the fun stuff (investigating/trials) and too much time clicking through dialogue boxes. This needed an editor badly or a "respect my time" version of the dialogue though that would easily cut 60-75% of the game.

I'm sorry, I know this will be a unpopular opinion but I can't for the life of me find the willpower to finish this game. I love all the other games in the series, but the characters in this game are either A) dull, B) a weak stand in for a character in a previous game or c) so infuriatingly obnoxious and anoying that I wish they will be the victim in a upcoming case (I think you can all guess who i'm talking about). It might be that the mostly (except for *that* character...) more serious tone doesn't work for me in the context of a AA game. I am expecting a silly courtroom drama, that can get serious and then also have a bird as a witness. With larger than life characters where every single character, even the anoying ones, have great personality. This game is filled with bland milk toast characters and the one exception that is so dialed up that it just doesn't work, at all for me. It's definitly a "me" problem, but I honestly can't stand the second Sholmes comes into frame...
The artstyle is also very uneven. The main cast and the minor characters doesn't even look like they belong in the same game.


I know the second game is suposed to be a lot better and "worth" the slow setup acording to many, but I can't stand 40-50 hours of the most meandering dull dialogue and scenarios that takes forever to get to the point, just because the endgame is cool. I have never been bored in a Ace Attourney game before. I've managed to finish the fourth case in the first game and so far this game has had two of the worst cases in AA history (2nd and 4th) but I'm not sure I will ever be able to get through playing the rest. The setting is fine, and having a AA game without modern forensics is a nice idea, and I wish I liked it, but it's the pacing and lack of humor that kills any interest in the game for me.

I might update this if I find the will to finish the game, but as of now it's a not recomended. As a fan of the franchice it pains me, and I really wanted to love it as much as the other games in the series, but it's so boring that I don't even want to continue playing it.

An interesting story wrapping up in a satisfying conclusion, but not worth the 60+ hour time commitment held up largely by unnecessary filler dialogue and stretched out plot progression, especially when the story is scarcely engaging until the second game.

This is actually a very charming game but I have too much respect for my time to keep reading it. The writing is tedious. EVERY minor detail is painfully dragged out. The script needs a serious edit IMO.
