EDIT: Also difficult to say there was a payoff when Apollo himself gets a new backstory every game!
The reason the series keeps going is because new people keep discovering the games they actually love: AA1 through 3.Let's not mince words there: people like AA1 and 3 but there's sort of a runt in the middle there. AA2, as we've discussed extensively in this topic series, consists of two really shitty cases, and another mediocre one. 2-4 is good and no one disputes that but one case does not make a good game. This is why AA2 is ultimately a bottom 3 game in the series.
Justice for All getting the Return of the Jedi/Temple of Doom treatment mainly via association with the rest of the original trilogy.This makes no sense whatsoever.
JFA also has the rest of the game!The game retooled the series and then they immediately ignored all of the changes it'd made to go back to business as usual. The greatest crime of AJ is that it dramatically changed Phoenix's character, but didn't have the quality or prestige to make it stick, so it was entirely an exercise in pointlessness
I dont agree with that about Apollo Justice. The series retooled itself pretty effectively while keeping what works and eventually paid it all off.
Similar example would be Mega Man Battle Network 4.and they're both composed by Horiyama!
It's weird watching everyone just be confidently wrong about JFA being a bad game. I don't get it

but one case does not make a good game
I'm actually not a fan of 2-2 at all, so JFA was a real struggle for me to get through. I probably would've dropped the series if 2-4 wasn't incredible.
Which kind of gets to the other thing about Justice for All - its the only game in the series which doesnt have a coherent narrative or theme, its just cases awkwardly stapled together. Which makes sense given the development history.
Yeah but 2-1 is a short tutorial case so who cares (and it's just not worse than 1-1 sorry). 2-4 is like basically half the entire game and it's utterly magnificient and 2-2 is a fine case as well so even if you hate the circus most of the game is great or fineThough I'm also probably being one of the biggest AJ defenders in here, this is a great stance on JFA. I'm honestly shocked so many people dislike 2-2 so much. I have my issues with it, definitely, but it isn't bad enough for a compelling argument over why JFA would be a bad game.
people have a habit of saying "it sucks except for 2-4" like bitch 2-4 IS THE GAME
This makes no sense whatsoever.It makes perfect sense, just not in the way intended.
