It's a bloated gen with quite a few absolute bangers and a lot of unnecessary 3-stage lines.

I went to a Mexican restaurant in Mexico just once, with my parents and sister, because I was in Mexico all of four hours. But I felt like we as a family ordered the four most generic possible meals (it was amazing though).

Enchilada
Taco
Burrito
Nacho

3-5 > 2-4 > 6-5 > 1-4 > 5-6 isn't a bad ranking at all btw. I'm pretty comfortable with 5-6 being at the bottom and I find the others interchangable. I guess my only issue with it is the comparative gulf in score between 1-4 and 6-5, but whatever.

It was like, PW at a casual stroll. I enjoy that. I liked the lower stakes for a chance, and the fact that both Phoenix and Edgeworth are both kind of aware that it's not as high-stakes as their previous face-offs (despite how well-connected the family are).

I think I might be giving this an extra point because I played it directly after 6-5, which was great but exhaustingly long as I said yesterday. This breezier, nicer, nostalgic case was like a sorbet afterwards. (Also yes, no Nahyuta)

And I like the time travelling thing - it's some very obvious, clumsy symbolism for having a Phoenix/Maya/Edgeworth case but I'm on board with it regardless

I'm pretty sure there are some very dumb strats used in some of the top Youtube results for both Gears and Gambits and Fort Condor.

Yeah I eventually found a winning strategy in my third or fourth YT vid, and even then I had to do things a bit differently. Absolute dumb shit.

Great Dhurke twist. Also, Apollo using the revisualization (or whatever it's called) to dethrone the queen at the end was brilliant!

"GARAN HAS NO CLAIM TO THE THRONE" or w/e fucking ruled yes. Revisualizations in general were pretty great

9.5. Could have been two cases, and would earn that way more than DD's final two cases, but it's fine. Also I feel like the second trial day just went on a bit too long - it became a bit exhausting - but the ending was definitely satisfying.

The series has genuinely got me three times. I mean they're always good, amusing, and sometimes surprising, but there's only three times I felt like "they got me, that's genius." The metal detector, the hairflip, and the Dhurke twist. I was like...I dunno, a minute ahead of the reveal or something and the slow dawning of it is very memorable. Big moments matter, I think they're what you remember more than anything, and that was one of my favourite plot twists in a game.

I was surprised at the victim being who he was, I felt he was potentially a great villain - but Garan showing up looking like fuckin Hexadecimal from Reboot and taking the reins away from Nahyuta more than made up for that.

Yeah Lustrous Shield helped, but I was still taking too much damage. I packed it in for tonight, gonna try again tomorrow. Just a really frustrating fight, by far the worst in the game so far - the repeated stun-locks makes it a really bad and frustrating sort of difficulty

There's part of me that wishes this game bucked tradition and put Nahyuta as the prosecutor of the first case. Like just, fuck it, no Payne this time, Phoenix just getting thrown straight into the fire with a scary and formidable prosecutor. I feel like having Nahyuta be introduced in 6-2 takes the edge off of him a little bit. 6-2 would be a better case if it was Klavier or Simon instead of Nahyuta, and just don't have 6-2 be a case about the new prosecutor and have it be focused on Apollo and Trucy instead. I dunno, I know this is kind of a radical rewrite of the game, but I just dislike the way they used Nahyuta.

This would have been way better. Just keep Nahyuta out of the "US" entirely. I've said this before but I was furious when he popped up in 6-4 as well. Jesus.

6.5/10 for this one

Iron Man

GotG over Black Panther because I think GotG was kind of a turning point, in that it took something way more niche and weird than everything that came before it into a billion-dollar franchise. I think it helped give audiences a kind of "faith" in the MCU that's only now faded

The huge post, list of resources, and focus on how "everyone" must be accepted and that "heated discussion" must remain "civil" is a fairly obvious message to trans people to either make sure bigots feel comfortable or to leave. I fully believe they'll mod blatant transphobia but between the politics ban, removal of the Sexuality board, and the horrendous both-sidesing in the anti-transphobia post it's loud and clear that they're going to moderate trans people for making bigots uncomfortable much more harshly than the reverse.

Fair enough. If it's any consolation, the discussions I've seen regarding transphobia and what will be modded indicate a much tighter leash on anti-trans rhetoric than before with much harsher punishments for it. That said I can't dispute that coupling it with a politics ban and the removal of the sexuality board is anything other than dumb as fuck.

But the moments in TROS weren't fun? I think it's possible I hold Marvel to a lower standard, but I know a bad movie when I see one. There's no defending TROS, while I think NWH - for all its nonsense fanservice contrivances - had something to it at its core, whereas TROS is endless nonsense with no impact.
