What have you all been playing! Still on my helldivers and binding of Isaac grinds. Spreading managed democracy through the galaxy 💪

    Still on Ace Attorney trilogy. Might take a break before heading into the second trilogy, but I’m about halfway through the third game.

    While I’d played the first and some of the second game before, third is entirely new to me. The second chapter was pretty funny, even if it kind of went on a little too long.

    I burst out laughing several times at how ridiculous it all was (which is saying a lot considering how ridiculous the series is), but the double jeopardy line at the end was the icing on the cake.

    Like, I absolutely should have seen that coming because it was far too easy and I knew something was strange because of how obvious it was. Yet, I still carried on until a realised “Wait, what the fuck? I’ve just been played like a woodwind at a symphony.”

    DeLite is one of my new favourite characters. Unintentionally hilarious in the best way.

      Ayy, I just played the first game for the time recently! I really enjoyed it. I’ve been meaning to continue, but I’ve been pretty busy. Would you say it’s worth playing more?

        If you enjoyed the first one, then yeah, definitely worth a shot.

        It’s basically more of the same, but with some added character development (Edgeworth in particular) and a bigger narrative arc going on in the background which starts after the first case in the second game.

        The entire series is really good about balancing some more serious moments with over the top crazines as well, which I like.

        There are two new game mechanics introduced in the second game, which some people like and some people find annoying. I don’t really mind, but it does occasionally result in a bit of backtracking.

        Also, if you like domineering women with whips, the big prosecutor you go up against for most of the second game is more than happy to whip literally everyone in the courtroom (and out of it, really).
