Rise up
It's Reyn Time.
Well, the first case was underwhelming, I'd gotten tired of the AA formula overall, and the new setting really strained my suspension of disbelief. Don't think I would've enjoyed pushing through, as I just wasn't in the right mindset at the time. Maybe someday.

Man now I feel like I missed out after bouncing straight off SoJ and not getting far in. Oh well.

I've heard boomer shooter fans say it's fairly average for the genre. That might be more about the gameplay though
If you play it just as a Doom clone, yeah. The Immersive Sim elements to the gameplay are very good though.

This is a game that I've been thinking about playing for a while, but I've never been sure if I would love it or hate it
There was a 20-minute adjustment period before my brain clicked.

Shit, that might have been amazing (except for the final level)

If you have to write a giant fuckin post on Reddit about how well the rollout of your new update is going, chances are it isn't going very well
League has tens of millions of players. All it takes 0.001% of their playerbase to be affected and then go posting on social media for that to become the predominant narrative. I have no love whatsoever for something as invasive as Vanguard but I've been burned too many times by overreacting twitter posts not to take those with a massive grain of salt.

Wait that said, I'm also taking the developer posts with a grain of salt.

A riot employee on the reddit:

I was on PTO for the rollout so I was getting worried seeing some of the chatter but the data just doesn't tell the same story. We're definitely seeing some tickets for it right so some players are having a hard time and we're trying to help get those players going but overall it's going pretty well so far and I'm really looking forward to us writing the next update to talk about how effective it already is. We're seeing some good stuff at least so far.

Granted, the problems that are popping up for people seem pretty rough.

Looks like stubborn masochists are currently beating out the coward's option, although both combined are barely matching people who simply lust for polls

I'm 97% Option 2 because I have a problem. Only exceptions are if I'm missing a very key thing to make the boss doable, like with Mohg.

Curious to see what people do in this scenario.

Yeah according to Riot, 10-15% of games in Master tier had a scripter. That's kind of insane

All modern anti cheat is kernel level. The other ones don't actually block cheating.
I think Vanguard is one of the few that's always on, though. Most other anti-cheats only run when the game runs.

You weren't kidding. Went with female VA, and I've been playing for ten minutes and already noticed a good number of line readings that were clearly done in isolation, lol. Not a big deal though.

I mean. Well. Hmmmmm......

Difficult to respond to that.
I know all the big spoilers. It's still not interesting. A prequel set in that time period was never going to be appealing to me. I prefer futuristic MGS.

This. MGSV as a story didn't interest me at all, so I didn't get it. Simple as that.

notes that while such an amount may work in most cases, notes that that is a pretty useless fine (in terms of achieving the intended outcome - stopping the offender from continuing the behavior) when the offender is wealthy enough that the fine is basically nothing to them. And therefore he explicitly warns that jail may be necessary for continued offenses.
Good response.

In addition to all of that, Aster viewed Aria as a threat. Aria wouldn't have agreed with the whole murder aspect of his ideology, AND she was set to become queen of the kingdom (while also being the daughter of a major noble house). She could have easily opposed him. By framing + enslaving her, either she gets convicted and is removed as a problem, or gets off and is still under his control.

And it would've worked with Celeste's true parentage giving Lucio an out.

Case 5 is great, there's just some lost potential there.

I was worried this would go into a Danganronpa-esque hope/despair nonsense,

It became interactive Umineko which is fantastic.

I don't think Pokemon is a good fit for this list in general. Even the most difficult parts are just not that difficult. Everything is designed so that it can be reasonably beaten by an 8-year old.

I'm of two minds about Whitney. On one hand, she's an iconically challenging boss from a series usually not that hard. On the other hand, I've literally never struggled with her.

What if we compromised and voted Ultra Necrozma, who is definitely harder.
I think for something like this, general gaming consensus is more important than personal experience

With that said I think the Pokemon fanbase heavily overrates how much they actually struggled with Whitney because she mildly stands out in an extremely easy series

I'm sure you could probably fill this list with Soulsborne genre bosses. I just know nothing about any of those games.
I actually don't think any of the others (besides maybe Ornstein and Smough) would be appropriate for a general gaming Rushmore. When most of the bosses in a series are difficult, they aren't going to stand out as much. Malenia however had like, articles written about her, and started the Let Me Solo Her fad, and happens to be from the highest-selling Soulsborne game. That's different.

Surprised there's not more Malenia support. Let Me Solo Her was a fairly well-known thing last year.

Case 5 It's really bizarre how the case ends up with loose ends like Alaric obviously having been polymorphed but you never have to prove it or anything, really adds to the feeling of the case being rushed, even though I wouldn't have gotten much from having to prove a fairly obvious point in court
The main developer discussed on the AA subreddit that Case 5 was subject to money and time constraints, including rewrites to include the Aster reveal instead of making it a separate Case 6. Presumably the original version would've made it less clear in Case 5 that he's the patron. The polymorph detail was also mentioned as something they werent able to expound on in-game but left in anyway.

Which is a shame because I think TC with all the main issues ironed out could have ended up as good as the best AA games.

Cons: The Court Record actually ended up being my #1 complaint overall as nearly all the cases had some bloat to the Court Record and completely useless pieces of evidence.

Agreed. Case 5 was especially egregious about this. I'm lucky that I was familiar with all the magic due to it being based largely off of D&D, so that at least didn't feel overwhelming. I can imagine someone getting slammed with several dozen spells and being overwhelmed.

After some reflection, TC as a mid-tier AA game sounds about right. I mean that in a positive way. In comparison, that puts it above all the Zero Escape and Danganronpa games for me.

Every time I looked at the politics board it was like a few chuds getting absolutely nonstop clowned on by normal people
I don't know man, I have a ton of people on Ignore and pretty much all of them were from the Politics board, and that place was still rough to read through. I don't actually blame the mods for closing that one down because it probably quadrupled their total workload. Even if yes, in retrospect that was not the best precedent to set.

And sometimes the obvious choice is correct, like with the Mario game Rushmore
I think not having a single post-PS2 console is close to objectively wrong. There are more quality games nowadays than there were back in the day, and everything sells more too. My fault for missing the last topic I guess.
