nah they were cooler, now everything is designed to alienate the user from the internals as much as possible and even if you knew how it worked the software will make it as hard as possible for you to fix it yourself. it's the same thing that happened to cars I guess

Also we now have the technology to institutionalize racism and other predujices even harder than before b/c everything that runs on machine learning is only as good as the data you train it on and oh look we just took the pictures from the local prison and 90% of the inmates are black because of prior racism so now we've codified it in the software too

yeah i've honestly never touched the games past AJ because they looked like too much of a return to a form except apollo is chuuni now

maybe i should play them and not just replay the first four but i've heard such mixed things

I mean you can make things that don't carry your biases and prejudices but you have to make a conscious effort to do so, which means nobody does

just because computer touching pays a livable wage doesn't mean you're suddenly bourgeois.

I love the original trilogy of games a lot but I wound up losing interest near the end of the first 3DS one. It felt like it was spreading itself too thin, to the point where I wish they could have just picked a single character to play as and stick with it.

I like the 3DS ace attorney games a lot except for two things
1. Athena's arc is pretty much complete after Dual Destinies so she feels like a shoehorned afterthought in Spirit of Justice
2. Spirit of Justice expects you to accept a character's redemption arc despite not actually having that character redeem themselves (themself?) at all other than be kind of sad about being awful

i remember really liking AJ except when you have to watch the 50 second video of the concert like a hundred times

it is crazy to me tho that there are just two ace attorney games i never played, they just seem a little confused without shu takami writing them. Instead he's been writing the Meiji era Ace Attorney games that we'll probably never get it ever

Takumi didn't write AAI2 and people think that's one of the best games in the series.

i've never played those either!

i've always wondered if that was true or just a case of people saying that because we never got it.

For what it's worth Spirit of Justice is my favorite Ace Attorney that's not the original trilogy. And I still think it has some of the best lightbulb moments when you figure out how a murder was pulled off. And it's a pretty solid Apollo Justice game in general, and a good finale for the Apollo Justice trilogy, since despite making Phoenix an attorney again, the 3ds games are more about his family of attorneys rather than him anyways.

It got a fully translated patch a few years ago, so there's nothing stopping you from being able to play it. It really is good.
