Honestly, what you just posted makes me more excited to play the game because the stuff on the left is WAY better than the more literal translation.

I would put 'the first five minutes of Up' if I could.

I never watched the X-men movies, was Wolverine seriously never in the yellow costume until now?

I appreciate the usage of 'Project L'.

Has Sui4 received any kind of reassessment in hindight? I never even tried it because of universally panned it was.

None that I've seen

I'm waiting a few weeks to play Eiyuden just in case there's issues that patches will address. Standard operating procedure for any new game.

6.5, its alright but this case kinda just feels incomplete on its own?

It intentionally is, as a lead-in to Case 5. Same as 3-4.

6.5

Suikoden V also got a 77 on metacritic, and that was a good-ass game!

Granted I'm not expecting Eiyuden to be incredible or anything. I just want it to recreate at least half of the specific kind of feeling that past Suikoden games had.

Might be as good as Last Stand. The Eris 'fight' was the closest a VN has ever come to an interactive Umineko-style segment.

I'm sure you're well aware of this yourself as a writer.

Not to derail the topic (although it's basically run its course unless a surprise new player comes in), but I could discuss at length about how what you outlined affects new writers. The moment I read how the Tyrion author took early feedback it brought back a lot of memories, lol.

I really hope there's a sequel. Assuming that Tyrion remains as the main character, it would be interesting to explore how being in a position of major influence/power changes the dynamics of cases. Or maybe they pull an AA6 and he goes to that new country in the ending stinger, where he'd be a lot less respected. Lots of potential for neat ideas.

They were really quick to get to the point, though maybe part of that is there wasn't much meat to get to anyway.

I think you could quicken most AA cases to the exact same pace if you cut out a lot of extraneous dialogue and reaction shots, honestly. Especially modern AA which has SO much fluff, for better or worse.

So based on a post from the creator on the AA subreddit:

1. The game only got 2/3 of its funding during the kickstarting phase.
2. Because of this, they had to cut out an entire case where Aster was the solo final villain and merge it into Case 5.
3. The creator also got feedback during the alpha phase to speed up the pace of things. This lead to them, and I quote: 'I may have fallen into a bad habit of moving the plot from point A to point B as efficiently as possible to keep the players engaged.'

Basically most of my issues with the game apparently came down to a lack of budget and poor feedback. Damn.

Yes

A more fleshed out Case 5 would be the dream yeah. Aster's dialogue at the end was actually very well-written, it just needs better context, more buildup, and for the scene to not just kinda end three lines after he dies.

Means basically justified the entire switch to 3D. His animations are so fun.

Game beated. I read over the second page and overall agree with people's takes. The actual mysteries have varying quality, and the game's pacing is uneven. I'm glad someone else pointed out that they struggled with which evidence to present at random points because I was feeling real dumb at times.

I also kept identifying moments that really should have been given more room to breathe. As an example: the Celeste/Eris stuff in Case 5 was given adequate screentime and it's the best part of the game. The Aster thing at the end wasn't, and unsurprisingly it feels less good than it should be.

With that said, the game shines with its story and characters, and for a low-budget game it has great presentation with strong art and music. I greatly enjoyed it from start to finish and I would buy a sequel in a heartbeat.

Case 4 >= 5. I actually think Case 4 is better than like, almost all AA cases except the biggest ones. Case 5 could've been an all-timer but it's too inconsistent.

7.5

CONTRACT NULLIFIED

That ruled

Oh shit

Starting Episode 5.

Laefe: You can't say that!
Beatrice: What's the church going to do? Arrest me?

This game has some really funny moments.

Was the Part 5 fan translation that bad? I only ever heard about Part 4 and Duwang.

What about a Secret Board? Is someone really going to enforce this rule on a random Atari 7800 Board?

If you let in/notify the wrong person, they'll start marking posts and alert the mods

My next stage of copium is that mods will delete posts sometimes just so they can say they're making a token effort, but leave as many untouched as they can

Like my posts in the Minecraft topic were left alone and I didn't adhere to the parody, so here's hoping

Also I guess transphobes attached themselves to the issue. Shame. Still looks bad though

Also found this alternate perspective:

Don't play Go so I have no skin in this

But those new models kinda look bad, and the fact that the old models are getting deleted is even worse

Peach's Castle doesn't need the support.

Guess PotD was too political

What ended up being better, the GAA fan translation or official translation?

E2-3 is literally 4th place now!

I actually watched the initial part of the case way back when, and I thought it was really boring! Maybe it picks up but yeah, wasn't that excited to learn about Gregory considering we know everything important about him and that case. I think the Investigations formula at its core just doesn't work for me.

I said what I said

Sorry but you got upstaged one post earlier

The ratings of these last few cases have not exactly inspired me to watch the rest of AAI2.

Because anyone who disagrees has to justify exactly what part of it constitutes as horny, and why they think that

They've apparently picked 7 out of 18 jurors so far.

It's part of choosing the jury

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-trial-new-york-memes-prospective-jurors-1235005658/

One potential juror ruled out on Tuesday was a man who recently shared an AI-generated video of Trump saying Im dumb as fuck, according to reporter Josh Kovensky of Talking Points Memo. The man had evidently tried to conceal his opinion of Trump during earlier questioning, per The New York Times, and protested that the video was only something he reposted, but Judge Juan Merchan dismissed him.

At another point, tweeted Tyler McBrien of Lawfare, the judge read a meme into the record that seemingly disqualified the would-be juror who shared it. The joke referenced the Thai youth soccer team dramatically rescued after they were trapped in a flooded cave system for more than two weeks in the summer of 2018, when Trump was still in office: Trump invites the Thai boys to the White House, and the boys request to return to their cave.

But jurors didnt have to spell out their specific grievances with Trump to earn objections from Blanche, who said many had digital footprints that contradicted their claims that they could be fair and objective in the trial. He even went so far as to bring up a meme posted eight years ago by the husband of a potential juror, which depicted former President Barack Obama next to Trump, with the caption: I dont think this is what they meant by Orange is the new Black.

Trump is being shown unflattering memes as part of court proceedings

2024 keeping the hits coming

I'm perfectly willing to try and talk it out with them even if I can't imagine getting anywhere.

Why?

i'm still not over the fact that it's an account with sub 90 karma controlling the site.

like bro you couldn't even use the boards properly until like 2 weeks ago, how are you supposed to be someone who knows a thing about the site when there's more polls proving you wrong than days you've been here.

We've elected multiple inexperienced celebrities to the White House, so this is par for the course

Wait shit that was politi-

Actual question: how long is Case 5 compared to 4? I need to know so I can carve out a chunk of my schedule and play it all in one go.

Case 4 beated. That was maybe my favorite non-epic AA case...and there's still one more to go? Not bad, game.
