I wasn't expecting those reactions...
I'm not being a downer about this game.
Real talk, I bought this game solely because I thought it was going to be a trainwreck after both Investigations games put me to sleep, running back to Phoenix and I wanted to laugh at it, but this game completely blew me away.
There's some INSANE twists, with some genuine head-scratching moments. The new gameplay features such as the Mood Matrix and Thought Route segments add some real breaths of fresh air to the game flow, and most important of all, real characters. People that behaved in believable, sympathetic ways. Sure you have some side characters that are basically visual gags like Jean Armstrong was, but every game has people like them. You have some characters go through some genuine struggles to do what is right when they want to do the opposite and you can completely empathize with them wanting to do so, along with characters who have experienced horrible tragic losses and yet overcame them and became stronger from them.
Not only has this new team come leaps and bounds with character writing, the game flows at a much smoother pace. In both Investigations games, I felt they added so much stinking padding to confrontations, arguing at length about every little detail. In this, you move at a solid pace and yet doesn't feel rushed. These cases are HUEG and do not slog about. You are always doing something interesting and moving events forward.
If you guys saw the spoiler thread about this, I gushed about this game across three pages before finally giving my few
minor gripes with it.
Seriously, be excited about this game. It is a great experience.
