OH OH. I DO I DO. AND I SHALL VISUALIZE IT AS SUCH:

I just finished up PW3, that last case was just awesome. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, I was proved wrong. And the ending was nice,
I loved when we saw the picture of young Mia and Maya with the broken urn. I also had a good laugh during the credits when Adrian Andrews said Franziska taught her how to use a whip and that she shold show Phoenix what she learned, I found it both funny and a little kinky...

Young Maya/Mia is HAWT. Request for hentai NOWZ. :D Does anyone else LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the ending music like me?
 
ending music was spectacular, i was listening to it for about a week before i finally stopped, btw for those of you who want the young mia and maya pic, http://www.court-records.net/gs3-5.htm, scroll to the bottom, and my favourite part of the ending was when they went to visit Iris at the detention center and phoenix gets slapped so hard by pearls that his head is spinning :)

Only if we get to see some whip action.... j/k.

maigoyume: thanks for the link. I really loved that picture of the two of them. The shocked look on Mia's face is priceless
 
Just managed to beat this game sunday. The ending is fantastic, and a damn fine way to end the Phoenix trilogy. I think the best thing about it is how the majority of cases all center around a common theme
(Dahlia)
, and how great they flow into one another.
 
I haven't had a lot of time, so I'm still early in the game. I've only just finished the first court section of Case 2, but I can definitely say this is my favorite Case 2 of all these games(well, I guess I can't speak for the fourth one yet). This one is definitely much better than PW2 so far.

I've been playing this game an insane amount lately.I'm finally on the 5th case and I should be done with the game tomm. or even possibly today.
 
I get at least one moment in every PW where I have no clue what I'm supposed to do, and I have arrived at one in this. Part 3 of the second case:
Doing investigation for the murder portion, talked to everyone I can talk to, minus a Psyche-Lock on Andrews... and I'll be damned if I have any evidence remotely relevant.
 
There's not enough talk on this game.

The fact that they managed to work in a "MADNESS? THIS IS SPARTA" joke amuses me to no end.

I'm probably a little past halfway on case 3.

First case - the "throwaway" case - seemed to stretch on a bit long.

Second one was ok. All of the characters were annoying, which made it hard to get through it.

Botticus, I remember being stuck at that part too, but I forgot what I did.
 
I'm on case 5. I'm really liking the game. Much more than the previous two. I was especially happy to see the return of my second favorite character,
Franziska!

Actually Strell, the first case isn't really throwaway. It's going to tie back into the 4th and 5th cases.

[/quote]do you remember what she asks you in the psyche lock?
 
[quote name='maigoyume']do you remember what she asks you in the psyche lock?[/quote]I got through that part... turns out I had missed presenting some evidence to Gumshoe to unlock another conversation option. Steadily moving through, think I'm in the last trial segment.
 
Finished up case 3 last night. Really enjoyed it - I have to admit the twist is really amazing.

Started a little into case 4, but it's hard to decide if I should be playing this or Zack and Wiki.

court
so it shouldn't take too long to get through that, and i'm going to tell you now that case 5 is EPIC, in that you not only get to use phoenix, but someone else as well, i'll leave it to you to find out who :)
 
I'm working on Case 4(and this one definitely doesn't seem like it'll take too long... but I'm sure 5 will make up for that). Case 3 was very entertaining. The 300 joke was great, but my favorite parts were
the judge suddenly getting a bad Brooklyn accent when confronted by Tigre, and Mr. Armstrong saying something in Spanish(por favor I think) instead of French and having the judge call him on it
.
I don't think that's really a spoiler, but I laughed at those two moments enough that I don't want to ruin it for anyone. Actually the judge is probably the funniest character in all these games, because he always makes me laugh. The Canadian judge, eh, I'm not sure how I feel about that... :lol:
 
Case 2 Day 2 was ghey as fuck. That entire final bit of testimony before "THE LAST TESTIMONY" was just classic PW fidgetyness compressed into one single section, and it got old fast. This is from a massive PW fanboy, too!

Case 1 == pure epic win.
 
[quote name='Strell']The fact that they managed to work in a "MADNESS? THIS IS SPARTA" joke amuses me to no end.[/QUOTE]

Really? Ugh. I came in here to see what others thought of the translation. I'm early on (close to the end of Case 1), but both the "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard" reference and the talk of hemmorhoids has put me in a sour mood towards this game.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two, so I'm sure I'll play through all of this, but it has this tacky "Working Designs" style of crummy pop culture references disguised as humor that have no staying power whatsoever. Leave that shit up to "Family Guy" to take care of.
 
Myke: Having not actually seen 300, and most likely not going to enjoy it on the level of other people, the reference itself isn't that great. It was unexpected, and somewhat unique, hence the enjoyment.

I will agree with 62t in that the references overall seem pretty slim.

On a related respect, I'd say the game is overall less humorous than previous entries, which might be because the cases seem to skew a little...heavier than in the other games.

I finished Case 4, which....wow. The themes inherent in that case are actually quite heavy for this series. I mean I know the game centers around murders and the like, but this particular one was much more complex.

I will say, I am getting tired of seeing that one character over and over in this game. The one found in cases 1, 4, and now 5. I imagine 5 is going to change my opinion, but the character in question actually induces some amount of honest emotion in regards to the stories found in the cases I've seen (said character) in thus far. Which - come to think of it - is not something that normally happens to me in any game.

I think cases 3 and 4 have been pretty top notch. 4 is easily the one I've mentally invested the most in so far, out of all of the PW games, with exceptions maybe being 5 in PW1, and 2 in PW2.

But this really is a brilliant little game. It's the only thing pulling me away from GH3 and Zack and Wiki.

P.S. I hope this doesn't change in 5, but thank you for not having that one reporter chick from the first two games, whose name escapes me. But she has a southern accent and...ugh is just annoying.

If you had a penalty at one point:

[quote name='Strell']Ugh.

Yes.[/QUOTE]

I'm expecting her to show up in the game at some point; I'm getting the sneaking suspicion that bloody *everyone* shows up in the game at some point.
I just ran into Larry Butz in case 2

The "Bennifer" and "Tommy Kat" references were harmless, I suppose...but still really irritating. I'm certainly going to groan in agony when I see those if I replay the game in several years' time (which I surely will - I even got the bug to play through Hotel Dusk today, which I may do in the future soon).

Strangely, I can't recall any pop references in the second game. I suppose that's a good thing, and I need no reminders of what they were, thankyouverymuch.
 
LMFAO in case 5:
I imagine no one will find this as funny as I did, but when you first get into court and Von Karma calls Bikini to witness, and all you can see is the top of her hood, and the judge asks here to stand up straight, and her head just barely moves up, and she has this hugely pissed off look in her eyes.

I have no idea why I found that so hilarious, but I was crying over it. I guess it's because of how mad she looked.

Oh, and myke?
*cough* He'll be....around. I'll leave it at that.

I LMAO for that as well.
 
I quite enjoyed the "fake-out" serious moment in Case 5 when
Larry gets scary serious while talking to Edgeworth in court, and it turns out that it's just his drawing
.

Cases 4 and 5 were easily my favorites, and I'm quite happy that Lotta and Wendy did NOT return in this game.
Although Wendy shows up in the ending credits...ugh
.
 
This is quickly turning into my favorite PW game after starting off rather disappointingly. Case 3 was just fantastic, and 4 is starting off nice just because I can see what it's building towards. And
Edgeworth!

I will likely need to do an avatar update tonight/tomorrow, depending on what my Photoshop skills let me do.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']This was easily my favorite one in the series.

You even get to investigate stuff with Franziska for a little while!
[/quote]
the part where you play at edgeworth is so awesome i had to change my pants twice
 
I'm working on case 5 now.

I think I'm almost done with it.

This is seriously engrossing.

And before you ask why, I took a short recess for my daily Smash Bros update.
 
So I couldn't finish it last night, since I got to the first point where I thought I had finished it, only find "oh yeah there's at least another hour to play through, not including the ending credits and little vignettes to watch."

This....is seriously one of the most exceedingly satisfying gaming experiences I've ever had. If you take all three games as a trilogy and pile them into a singular entity, then almost the entire series is top notch adventure gaming at its peak. There is excellent writing, fleshed out, multidimensional characters, great villains, twisting plots, and lots of little moments where you have to actually think.

The whole thing is fantastic. Utterly fantastic. I have played games for a long, long time. Big epic ones, story driven ones, character driven ones (both with and without character development), action, adventure, text, etc etc etc, and I can honestly say that very few games have provided me with this amount of pure joy when it comes to advancing through them to the finish.

The fifth case was just complete brilliance. It really was. Tying together so much, providing some extensive (but ALWAYS entertaining) court and investigation phases, obscenely clever writing for a multitude of characters, and a story that was genuinely gripping, eerie, and memorable. I sincerely cannot praise this case enough. PW1's final case was epic, but this one easily topped it. It didn't succomb to PW2's final case's bout of endlessness, either. I am truly amazed at just how well it was executed, because in terms of gaming and stories in gaming, this is a prime example of what is so sorely missing from this entire medium.

I mean, we have everything here you need for story telling - tragic characters, humor, sharp banter, wonderful exchanges between characters....it's all there. And it has truly made these games wonderful in a sense that I hardly feel whenever I play anything these days.

For how simple the gameplay is, for how much the animation is somewhat stilted and wooden, and for how minimal the entire production could be described (even criticized) as, this is a truly epic game and series. There is more story here and more empathy to be had with the characters than the grand, grand majority I've seen (and played) all these years.

Complete and utter bliss.

There's several things to address that are spoiler-iffic, so Imma do justice (ho ho! a pun!) to those who haven't finished yet:
I guess being a PW fan is what makes Edgeworth and Von Karma showing up so worthwhile. I was actually giddy at the fact that you play as Edgeworth, that you face off with Franziska in court, that all three of them team up during the investigation...it just feels so oddly warming. It's kind of hard to explain. But there's a sincere cathartic feeling one gets from that particular case, with this reunion - and partnership - with your previous "foes."

Case 5 was brilliant, but it's still a little hard for me to follow. I imagine what I'll do in the future is replay all three games back to back (potentially skipping PW2, or maybe just playing the second case in it) to really tie it all together once more.

I might have missed some things, but did anyone ever adequately explain how Bikini saw the snowmobile when she went back to Hazakura on the night of the murder? Seemed like that was a big thing, and then it just was forgotten. Additionally, if you look closely at the photo, there's footprints, but this was never taken into account by anyone. Also, in terms of the pendulum of the body, it said the lightning is what broke the cable. But if it struck the middle of the bridge, why would it affect the part moored to the cliffside? Also, how would Iris have known to get the body in that manner (on the ground after it being swung across), when she had no way of communicating with Dahlia (or, perhaps more directly, Godot)? Why did no one check the blood on the orb? Was it just assumed to be Misty's?

And, of course, all of this calls into question Godot's actions as a whole. He could have stopped this all from happening way before it happened, but he didn't.

And speaking of Godot, you get the feeling he wanted to help Phoenix in the case, but ... only half so, maybe? I mean he throws out a lot of clues to Phoenix - "upside down" and such. (On a side note, I could tell the picture was upside-down long before that came up, due to the cords and Larry's laying-down position.) But he still sort of wants to win the case, so maybe he doesn't realize he's helping? I couldn't really tell.

Godot saying "no one was waiting for me" is a beautiful and genius line. I hope other people got that line for all it symbolizes. "Everyone in the world is an accomplice to something" is another incredible line (even if it doesn't carry near the gravity that first one does). I need to remember both of them.

Additional points to the game for spoony bard reference.

Part of me wants to get a screen grab of the lights being out in the courtroom and with Godot's goggles turned on, burning in the darkness. I want to re-draw it by hand, load it into photoshop, color/paint it, and then make a background out of it, and then put a Godot quote in as well. Would anyone be interested in this if I made it?

This case easily had the most humor, most shocking moments, most twists, and sharpest tempo of anything I've seen in the entire series. I can't count the number of times I laughed during it. In the other post I mentioned Bikini's appearance in court. Other moments included when Larry's first words about "oh, I was looking at the stars that night," and when you press him about it, he COMPLETELY explains why it was a nonsense thing to say. The camera pans over to Edgeworth, who is in that "furious stance." I couldn't stop laughing. Comments from Von Karma were funny (I actually found her whipping funny in this time, where it seemed like a tedious gimmick in PW2), Edgeworth was caustically hilarious...all of it was just phenomenal.

Even the little things in the case...like, when you play as Edgeworth and you look at the evidence, it's all changed to reflect his thoughts, even on things like the attorney's badge.

I guess that's all I can think of for now. I mean, when I finished the game, it was like having a huge burden lifted, but being so completely and absolutely satisfied with the game at the same time.

Apollo has a lot to live up to.

Since she had to walk by it to get from the inner temple back to the main hall, that's how she saw it.
Additionally, if you look closely at the photo, there's footprints, but this was never taken into account by anyone.

I think it was assumed they were the footprints of the person who had been riding it.
Also, how would Iris have known to get the body in that manner (on the ground after it being swung across), when she had no way of communicating with Dahlia (or, perhaps more directly, Godot)?

She specifically says Godot called her on her cell phone. Well she says a male voice, and Phoenix puts two and two together.
And, of course, all of this calls into question Godot's actions as a whole. He could have stopped this all from happening way before it happened, but he didn't.
Click to expand...
He admits that. He says if he had just gone to Phoenix with the problem then the whole incident never would have happened, but he wanted to save Maya himself.
