AHHHHH You’re playing ace attorney, I’m so excited! You already have some great takes and observations! I won’t reblog anything you’ve posted yet because I don’t want anyone in the notes to spoil you, I’m having fun seeing you guess!you’ll get the Edgeworth backstory in this gameSome of the dystopian elements are built out of a satire of the japanese justice system which uuuh, is a lot more like this than we’d all likeDick Gumshoe is best boy.Don’t be afraid to look at a guide/walkthrough some of the “logic” the game wants out of the player, especially in the early games is really obtuse.The pun names only get worse XD–😼🔪
I did say that one post post made me decide to go for it. Always nice to have an excuse to try out new games, and this one doesn’t require grinding so I mean a good boon there 😆
I’m really glad you’re enjoying my live blogging. Writing whatever thing comes out of my head while I play is kind of nice.
*) On that I’m SO excited I’ll get that backstory this soon. I am beyond 👀 for it. Just to have so much hints of how juicie it must be so early I have all my eyes and ears waiting for the reveal.
*) Yeeaaah though Japan has a bad justice system. I’ve been watching a lot of live action shows from Showa and just seeing how they treat the police even back then it’s like … all I wish is your country could finally fix that but in general I wish the police everywhere weren’t giant shits.
*) Dick is like a poor dog or something! Like he looks like he looks up to Edgeworth so much. totally idolises the man and wants nothing more than to do good by him. The guy is a lost puppy and is trying his best. He seems just as raised by the culture as Edgeworth is and they are both just doing their part in being in a bad mess of a system while wanting nothing but the best it’s so sad D : he trying so hard. He’s obviously comic relief but also he genuinely seems like that cop that’d try his best to help a crying kid who lost their balloon or help out a lost kitten just, innocent man in a bad world.
I know I’m overly cutieing him but it’s just he has such a giant soft heart it feels like and I don’t have good words. he’s a puppy for Edgeworth and also his attack dog against crime. He’s got a soft heart but a heavy hand. I want to see him grow since he seems to be a new-ish detective. I want to see him get more into his detective feet. Like he’s 30, but I can’t think of him having been head of the department for that long and suddenly being head is so much different than following your superiors’ orders all the time.
*) AND NO I’m glad you told me to, because a guide just told me I was right in what I wanted to do. I just have to press everything before I can do what I wanted to??? Which I would never have naturally tried especially when the game is actively having Write say there’s ’nothing to press on’. I feel freed now that I can continue again : D
*) THE PUNS ARE AMAZING I’m so glad to hear they went all in because IT SO WIMSEY in the MURDER game Give me some more WIMSEY MURDEr
I obviously just want excuses to ramble anything my brain tells me while i play this 🤣 I’m so new to these characters but they are written with such complexity it’s like a real living world. I swear it’s like a lot of modern games barely have half this level of writing.
- yessss, edgeworth’s whole deal is kind of the big heart/core of the first game, and you’re absolutely right about the characters being written with so much complexity. Its *really* satisfying. Even with the goofy names 😉
- Honestly trying to figure out the meaning of the pun names as you play tends to become a little mystery by itself. XD
- I don’t think we’ve played a single AA game without using a guide! The one we relied on one the least for was definitely the most recent one Great Ace Attorney. Over the series the logic gets a little more clear.
- Dick Gumshoe is SUCH an adorable puppy. Like obviously he is also a big man who is cool and good at things but he’s ADORABLE and I love him. 😀 He and Edgeworth co-star in one of the later/side games of the series–Ace Attorney Investigations!
- The nice thing about the AA series is that it is absolutely *deliberate* satire of how fucked the justice system is, and the big through-line is the main characters doing thier best to fix it, It’s really lovely!
VERY much looking forward to all your rambles as you play!!
