Ace attorney advice needed, I am trying to play all the games in order, loved the trilogy and am on Apollo justice but I'm just not feeling it. I'm not liking the new characters and miss the old ones, I bought it for my phone as the DS cart was expensive and I just don't enjoy the interface as much. It's just feeling like hard work.....is it going to get more enjoyable?

I am on the case with the murder at the rock concert, on the final trial part if that makes sense.

AJ is generally agreed to be the worst one in the series. You're about to finish arguably the worst single case in the series, but 4-4 isn't that much better. That said you've made it 3/4 of the way through so you might as well finish because DD and SOJ do a lot more with Apollo's character and it can benefit to know all the stuff that happens in AJ because it will be relevant.

Ok thanks, good to know that I am not alone in finding AJ a bit hard work.

I have already purchased DD and SOJ so I will continue to plod through Apollo Justice!

Also, just to clarify there is nothing terribly wrong with the android version of AJ, it's just not as good as on my 3DS, I miss sleep mode, the touch screen can be annoying and oversensitive, the text speed changes randomly, sometimes it's fast, sometimes painfully slow. It also annoys me that people call and text me when I'm playing!

The worst thing is though I sometimes refer to a walkthrough on my phone whilst I'm playing for those moments when the evidence that I feel I should be presenting for whatever reason isn't making the game progress, doing this on my phone sometimes makes the app close and I have to restart it....

This is why, in my opinion, mobile games will never be better than handheld consoles! Rant over....

I finally decided I was never going to play through all of Bravely Default (was at fire crystal), so I looked up the plot synopsis.

Jesus Christ.

BD isn't near the top of my best-of list of jrpgs, but yeah, you should have played that one through (to the "wrong" ending at least, which is the better ending imo). The title screen change got a good cackle out of me.

Bravely Second I feel like you can definitely skip, it's got a silly-rear end ending but Undertale did it better.

Last Celebration posted:

Bravely Second had way better voice acting and writing though, so it's a fair trade.

It really doesn't. It was tolerable with the Japanese voices though, just for Magnolia's variations on yelling "Good Gravy" all the time and her mush mouthed attempts at Engrish.

Just use a walkthrough to read the story if you aren't enjoying the game.

Is there a goon recommended USB play and charge cable for a n3DS? I got one from Gamestop a while back but it charges very slowly and it doesn't charge at all while playing. I came across several on Amazon but I'm not sure which one to get. Here's the "Amazon's Choice" at the top of the list:

https://www.amazon.com/YUYIKES-Char...3ds+charger+usb

Bear in mind I would like one that would work with any USB charger or USB port if that's possible so will this one work?

Edit: This 2-pack for the same price seems like a better deal but I don't know:

That's good but I'm now leaning towards the 2-pack of 10ft play and charge cables for the same price.

I just now noticed amazon has a 10 foot version of that play and charge cable that you guys are using/recommending so I'll get that and it's actually a dollar cheaper but it's from a different seller so that might be why it's a bit cheaper.

I get not liking either's voice acting if you're not a fan of dubs or whatever, but Yew has the best VA across both games so I'm a little confused if you think Default was okay and Second was worse.

One last question: would it be safe to use said cable to charge up my n3DS from say a USB wall charger for an iPad or would I risk blowing up my system doing that?

I guess? I mean, obviously you just read a book on your phone or some poo poo if you're waiting for your stop on the bus, but if you're on lunch you don't really need to care unless I'm missing something.

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

Argh, I'm replaying VLR I'm at the part where you have the coded message from the Myrmidons, and the key. I made a note of the key in the Memo pad, the game was displaying the coded message on the top screen, but when I opened the memo pad again it covered the coded message. I can't get the memo pad to stop stealing the top screen. If I open anything from the Archive it shows the message for a split second before then showing whatever I've opened from the archive. And I don't think that coded message is in any of my files or secrets. Just kind of an annoying bug.

Yeah I've been tempted to buy the Vita version a few times it's on sale, partly because it supports more than 1 save file, but also I want to loan my 3DS copy to my sister. She has 999 and I want to see her reaction to VLR. :v:

Oh man, I hope it's good. Culdcept Saga was one of my favorite 360 games I think. That game had a really satisfying learning curve but it wasn't great about teaching you.
