Board 8 > In Ace Attorney games, do you...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...press every statement during cross-examinations, or do you just go straight for the contradiction?

Also, during investigations, do you try to examine everything and present everything you can when talking to people? Do you do that before or after you talk to people?

Also I try to examine everything, as for presenting just stuff I think that would get story-important responses

First time through, I pressed every statement, subsequent runs, just the contradictions.

Well, duh.

Even if I wasn't an obsessive completionist, anyone who doesn't do this is missing out on some of the best dialogue!

Press everything, although it makes for some annoying gameplay at times. Like when there's nothing interesting, and it's just the characters going "IT'S OBVIOUSLY THIS THING! WHY HAVEN'T YOU FIGURED IT OUT YET?"

I don't like presenting too many items to people because it pretty much never pays off. At best there's like one or two extra responses.

Basically I try to hear all of the dialog in the entire game, so whatever gets me there.

All of a sudden, I'm really hoping that they use a sandwich as a murder weapon in the next game...

Obtain all possible text. Press all statements. Present all evidence to all people. Fail every decision before getting it right.

Any other way would be madness!

Well there's always overdose via crack sandwich or something.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

I press everything if I like the witness. Otherwise I go for the objection asap.

Similarly, I present everything to random npcs if I like them.

Don't generally care about scenery unless it's especially interesting or I'm in desperation "what do I do mode"

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to talk about the case with you.

That's a stepladder.

I can't even imagine someone who doesn't press all the time for their first playthrough. I even got tempted to restart my game if I press and it ends up progressing the game!

This. I'd also intentionally fail in some places. It's usually not too funny, but I remember there being a few places where it worked out.

PREEEEESSSSSS

Also, see what each choices leads too. Even the ones that are obviously the wrong ones.

Press everything unless it's super obvious or it's a boring/infuriating witness.

I usually present the items that I think would provide the most hilarity. Same with the choices.

We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

Press everything, present everything. Though I rarely intentionally provide wrong evidence or choose game-ending decisions, since most of them are just "Duh, Phoenix, that's the wrong answer. GUILTY"

Yeah, but there's always unique answers when someone asks for evidence. In fact, sometimes, you even get specific answers if you present a certain piece of evidence.

Me too! It really annoys me when they do that, so I always try to pick up on when they hint that pressing will cause an automatic progression and then do all the other statements first.

I save, try to figure out in my head what will advance the plot, and then do everything but that. If I'm wrong, and one of the things I thought wouldn't advance the plot does, in fact, advance the plot, I reload and avoid it until I've seen all the other lines.

I think there have been a few times where I'm so excited to nail the contradiction that I don't stop to find every line of dialogue, though.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

Press everything, and on later playthroughs, go through wrong answers as well.

The text is this game's content, and I'm a completionist.
