As someone who played this after T&T (the Wii version had it as actual paid DLC), I find it baffling how badly this fits in with the Edgeworth plot line in JFA. "He left without a word, leaving only a note behind. Or not I guess lol." Phoenix's anger about it goes from justified albeit way over the top without this case to bafflingly petty with it. Aside from that, this is nearly as bad as pacing issues get for me. Like even future cases that are actually much longer, the only one that felt worse to me is E1-5. And the new mechanics do not translate away from the DS, if they were ever good there. The surveillance footage in particular was atrocious, and that one wasn't really even a DS thing AFAIK. But yeah the core case is solid. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

My favorite part of DL-6 is that Gregory Edgeworth's ghost lied and said Yanni Yogi shot him because he believed his son did it.Tbf that's just von Karma's interpretation. In reality, unless Gregory actually passed out at the very moment Miles fired the shot, he has every reason to assume Yanni shot him. Now maybe intentionally he left out that Miles did fire the gun first, but even that is uncertain. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

Having finished Infinite Wealth, the NG+ thing is pretty terrible just because there's one achievement that's deliberately unfeasible without it. And two jobs being carved out as launch DLC is also annoying. Great game though.Oh you don't need NG+. You get more than enough XP naturally doing the Big Swell.

Also I think with IW most of the MTX are things that are also obviously available in-game, or bonus content (except for NG+). With DD2 it seems a lot of people had a kneejerk reaction, thinking the MTX won't be available at all otherwise.In both cases, and with every game that does this, the store page specifies the items are available in-game. Not just for MTX, but even with pre-order bonuses they have to do that. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 |

Dark Souls itself is a Metroidvania, so it's not just the 2D ones.It is a nebulous classification for sure. Anything with a semblance of open concept gets filed as a Metroidvania. But your only roadblocks are the path itself and what you can boil down to a glorified key for a glorified door, except often without the glorified part. Then there's DS3 that flies in the face of even that, so there's definitely at least some distinction between the two to be made.

Yeah, they were non-issues, but DMC5 at least still got review-bombed for having them at first. Infinite Wealth did too.I love IW, but they actually locked NG+ behind DLC. It's so much more valid to criticize that. If it had just been the Big Swell itself then maybe that would have been worth something.

The difference between this and all the other games Capcom did this with us that this one runs like booty. It's a jumping off point to draw ire, compared to all the other games that had it that ran perfectly (I don't know about MHW, forgive me if that one had problems).BG3 has no MTX, but it had actual insane performance issues and broken quest lines at launch after like 4 years of early access and it barely got flack even for that.

I have a friend who started the game with me so we could play online togetherSoul Memory is such shit. Especially since it's Souls earned and not Souls spent, including Souls you permanently lost. They wanted to solve the ganking issues of DS1, when the obvious answer (and the one they'd implement in later games) is to also match by equipment level.
