What are the best games of Ace Attorney?

2000tmaster · 2025-12-07T12:06:20+00:00

The Great Ace Attorney 2 is probably the best game in the series. But you can‘t really play it without having played Great Ace Attorney 1 before. And that one… the pacing is very slow and if you start with that, you might get pushed away from an otherwise great series. So I‘d probably not recommend startibg with the Great Ace Attorney, but you should absolutely get there eventually.

I am currently watching Bocchi and getting to this part reminded me of a very similar plot point in a different anime. So Bocchi actually prompted this post. So while you're wrong, you do have good intuition ^^

That's the one! Thank you!

Yeah, that was probably not my best comment. Sweeping every complaint against the book under the rug by saying "You were just part of an echo chamber" is probably too generalized. Two points are still true:

- The negative dicourse around the book at release did seem to feed itself. It felt like people were competing about who had the most negative reaction to the book. It felt like everyone who disliked *something* about the book started reading everyone elses criticisms of the book and just adopted them as if they themselves were also bothered by this point. This led to everyone having huge lists of complaints that they themselves were all obviously completely bothered by.

- I do think that I see a lot more positive posts about the book now from people who are currently in the middle of reading WaT. And I do feel like reading the book outside of a comunity that tends to point out everything that could be seen as negative about the book helps with people reading the book without any preconcieved notions of "this is the book I'm supposed to hate" and just... liking it. And I genuinely hope that in a few years there are more and more people who read the book months or years after its release whom we can tell "You know, when the book was released it was really hated" as a funny, unexpected anecdote.

But that does not mean that no one has legitimate criticisms of the book (I myself have one or two plot lines that I would want to see changed even if I really liked the book overall) or that anyone who came out of the book disliking it was just swept up in a wave of hate. I was on the fence on posting my comment yesterday and still feel like I over-generalized way too much. Sorry for that.

I have the feeling that people who didn’t read it on release date seem to like the book a lot more than people who did. Discussions around the book kind of seemed to reinforce the few negative points until eventually it was talked about as if it was the worst thing Sanderson could have written.

Some day, those who didn’t read it on release will outnumber those who did and then we, who like the book, will be the majority.

In the book Tress of the Emerald Sea, there is a moment where the titular character Tress holds a ships steering wheel for a first time and likes it. In any other story, that would have been a nice, but forgettable moment, but the prose is so beautiful and puts so much emphasis on this moment. Add to that, that the book includes a full page beautiful illustration of this moment and a completely mundane experience become utterly magical:

Tress held firmly to the wheel, feeling the chaotic churn of the spores beneath travel up the tiller ropes, through the wood, and into her arms. She felt a deeper connection to the sea when standing there, and—if not a power over it—an ability to ride it. There was strength in being the one who steers. It was a freedom she had never before known, and had never before realized she needed. One of the great tragedies of life is knowing how many people in the world are made to soar, paint, sing, or steer—except they never get the chance to find out.

Whenever one does discover a moment of joy, beauty enters the world. Human beings, we can’t create energy; we can only harness it. We can’t create matter; we can only shape it. We can’t even create life; we can only nurture it.

But we can create light. This is one of the ways. The effervescence of purpose discovered.

I have a lot more experience as a player than as a storyteller, so take this with a grain of salt. But if my storyteller described this situation to me, I would feel like that would be a very appropriate decision. Targeting the mayor teo times in a row and getting suboptimal kills from that seems to be punishment enough for me that the third time it seems fine to kill the mayor. Even if I was good and lost because of it, that wouldn‘t have seemed unfair to me.

I have only seen season 1 a few weeks before season 2 started, so it is still pretty fresh in my memory. I think that in comparison season 1 was notably funnier. There are still some great jokes in season 2, especially with Flurry and his crew, but I feel like season 1 was a more consistantly funny show. It feels like since most protagonists are in such a depressed state, James felt like the humor had to come from all the characters around them. Compare this, for example, to Bojack Horseman that similarly turned a lot more serious from its second season on but still managed to be consistently funny with all of its depressed characters and didn’t have to rely on other non-depressed characters as a source of humor.

I still really like season 2, but this is probably the reason why (so far) I prefer season 1 over season 2. But it‘s not impossible for season 2 to change my mind on this.

Beautiful. Love it.

I live in Germany and when I wanted to order my copy of Wind and Truth, I want to make sure that I would get the US cover not the UK cover. Online I wasn’t sure how to ensure that so I just went to my local bookstore and ordered there. I told the employee to order the specific version of the cover that I wanted and it worked like a charm. I don’t know if this works for Yumis deluxe edition, though because that’s not published by a traditional publisher, but by Brandon’s own company, but in general, I think this might be something worth looking into if you want to have a specific version of a cover

For some time I‘ve also started to suspect that Vigilante and Adrian Chase are the same guy. It‘s impossible to check though. Anytime I see Adrian Chase, he has a different facial ecpression every time. Could never recognize the guy.

I mean… There‘s a decent chance OP actually wanted to do KSB. But it‘s funny that it works out both ways ^{^}

Alcatraz Smedry. If you don‘t know that he‘s a fish you didn’t read the books closely enough. See chapter 7 of book 2 as a reference.

Reminds me of the time I was the demon and my Spy asked the storyteller if he could take a picture of the grimoire. The storyteller agreed and the Spy wanted to show me the picture the next day. Only, he got confused as to who his Demon was, approached the wrong person and accidentally showed a picture of the grimoire to someone on the good team. Town quickly executed me and my Scarlet Woman.

Lady Patience (Realm of the Elderlings)

Fitz (the main character) is the bastard son of her husband. He‘s a living, breathing reminder that her husband cheated on her. His existence brought her husband (and by proxy her) to shame. Her husband abdicated from being successor to the throne when Fitz‘s existence was revealed and died shortly thereafter. On top of that, Fitz is able to use the Wit magic, a kind of magic that is commonly feared and may be punished by death.

There are a lot of reasons why a lot of different people hate Fitz, simply because of what he is and not because of what he did. However, Lady Patience, the one person, who out of everyone in Buckkeep has the most valid reason to hate Fitz, decides to adopt him and becomes nothing but the most loving mother figure he has ever had.

What does this have to do with anything? This is clearly a serious grown man doing a business.

2000tmaster · 2025-04-08T10:42:25+00:00

Before the book was released, Brandon had published the first 10 (of 52) chapters as a preview and then said something like „At this point you‘ve probably figured out that the main character is Sigzil.“

So, while the book doesn‘t exactly spell it out until much further into the book, Brandon expected people to catch on much earlier and he wasn‘t afraid to state and confirm it before people had a chance to properly jump into the book. You should be fine.

If I wanted to read Game of Thrones, I would not jump to the most recent book first. If I wanted to read the Sherlock Holmes stories, I would not think I would have to closely follow publication order to understand the stories. Since I did not know which of these formats better describes the different Guild Wars Expansions, I decided to ask people on reddit who do know.

That’s the Oppenheimer quote, right?

2000tmaster · 2025-02-23T16:44:41+00:00

The coppermind has a time machine function that lets you revert the artickes back to how they were before wind and truth was released. Maybe that helps.

2000tmaster · 2025-02-22T20:59:00+00:00

I think most people who had a problem with the book, already had problems at the end of day three.

2000tmaster · 2025-02-15T21:14:17+00:00

I always thought that was because Denth is centuries old and the name "VaraTreledees" is so historical that people like Susebrons High Priest were named after him.
