Ace Attorney Investigations - Miles Edgeworth

this last act is torturous, this game’s pacing fucking sucks

surprised this one is so hated on-i don't love it but i feel like it's a perfectly good entry into the series. the cases are complex, all the major characters are enjoyable (including the newcomers, i loved kay, shih-na, and shi-long), and many of the complaints people give seem to be in the other games as well (slow pacing, annoying side characters.. that ace attorney).
not a Great game but i certainly like it more than great ace attorney, funnily enough.

the culprits and cases in this game in general are insufferable, but playing this is required to understand AAI2 which is a masterpiece

it's crazy how much worse the writing is in this game than the original trilogy. difficult to tell, though, if that's because the localizer was garbage or if it was the case in the original japanese as well.

playing case 3 is actually so painful, genuinely if it wasn't for Kay there's a good chance I would've just quit

criminal score

this game screams great concepts, botched execution to me.

ok but is it better than AA5/AA6
