"Hate" was probably a bit strong of a word, but you can see her thoughts here if you're interested in a different take on the game.

Just finished case 2 of AAI2. Can't say it seems all that awesome as I had been lead to believe and it's currently on par with the first AAI for me, but I liked that game so it's fine. That logic chess mechanic is kinda weird and really easy in the first two cases.
After playing AA5, there are many times where I thought "now this would have been a good place for a Thought Route." That really was a fantastic, yet relatively simple addition to the series.
Both antagonists introduced in case 2 are very unlikable, which I suppose is the point. I like the introduction to a new judge character since that's lacking with all of the defense attorneys and prosecutors running around; perhaps case 3 in AA5 was a way to indicate that they're a big deal too.
Now I either have to wait for an upcoming patch, if that ever happens, or watch the rest on Youtube. It's a fantastic translation job; it could totally pass as an official localization.

Case 4-5 of AAI2 are soooo fucking good(this comes from someone that didn't like AAI at all), I recommend you to watch it on youtube like I did, the translation is fantastic.
I'd easily rank AAI2 as one of the best games of the series.

Hey guys, I need a recommendation. I finally finished playing the awful Ace Attorney HD Trilogy the other day, and I wanted to write a full review of it. I'm going to attempt to dissect every single thing that is wrong about this port (while also giving credit where it's due, although that'll virtually be a footnote compared to what's wrong).
What I want to know is, should I post it here in the community thread or create an RTTP thread in the gaming side? What do you guys think? Either way, I expect to finish writing up this review over the next couple of days.

You could probably get away with a RTTP thread about it. More people deserve to know how godawful the ports are.

Do a rttp thread and post the link here in case I miss it

Well, the review is going along smoothly. I also just learned of a way to easily take screenshots of the game, so I can showcase certain points.
I'll get back to the review tomorrow, after I'm done taking the GRE.

Having just started AAI...
I have to say I'm really digging it so far. The music is awesome, the cases are fun to solve, Edgeworth as a playable character is handled really well, the changes to the formula from typical Ace Attorney are welcome, and, in my opinion, in some ways improve on your ability to reason out conclusions on your own over the main series...
But then again, I've only just finished the second case. Apparently things sorta go to hell in the last case if my understanding is correct. Still, I'm having a great time with it thus far. I'm already enjoying it a lot more than AA2 and 4, which are the games it normally seems to be ranked with.

The last case is far from bad, it just has a few problems. The main one being is that it's extremely convoluted, more so than most other cases. And the second gripe most people have is that the big baddie takes forever to bring down.
It didn't really mind the latter of those, since taking down the main villain felt like an actual final boss, but I can see why people disliked it.
I was browsing Miiverse just now and I noticed that there is now a "official news from the Ace Attorney series creators" page.
I wonder if this means we can expect more DLC or dare I say it... News on AAI2/AA6.
Yes I know I'm a bit too hopefull, but it's certainly something, right?

You have no idea how much more hyped that just made me.
It's only available in the EU/Oceania region.

It is probably going to be a PWvsPL PR page. This is Capcom. AA6 news will hit Japan first and there will not be a port of AAI2.

But PWvsPL is a Level 5 game, not a Capcom game.

well that's AAI case 3 down (i'll just mark the rest as spoilers to be safe)
i can say i've lived happily if i never see the proto badger again
also little thief is a bit too silly for my tastes but i'd like to imagine edgeworth constantly bumping into people and objects while exploring the projection and it makes me feel better
Still, as a mechanic it's pretty neat, even if I feel like its hasn't been used anywhere near its full potential yet. Ah well, in time perhaps.
Still, this case is probably my least favorite yet just 'cause solving the case felt so roundabout and all over the place, plus there were so few new characters, none of which I really liked all that much. Still, cool to see Ema and Meekins I guess, even if they were sorta shoved away once their role was done. Can't quite say the same about Oldbag!
I... don't really feel strongly one way or another about Kay, Lang, or Shih-na. I mean, I don't dislike them by any means, but nothing about them really stands out to me. Except how fucking dumb Lang's shades are jesus christ i mean what the fuck
Looking forward to the next case. It sounds cool and I hear it's good. Still digging the game so far!

how long is it?
Well, at least we have vs. PL early next year.
We all know not to expect much from that game right?
Yeah, but Ace Attorney is Ace Attorney, I suppose.

I thought PL v PW looks really good :s I'm very excited about it.
With regards to AA5, do you need to play them in a certain order (ie the DL case 'first' or last?

The DLC case happens after Case 2 if you want to know. But its fine playing it after beating the main game.

Import impressions weren't nearly as positive as AA5's as I recall it. But, in my opinion, Ace Attorney 5 is a pretty high bar to reach, so there's still plenty of room for it to be a good game.
Just between the impressions and that it even visually looks like a massive step back from AA5, I can understand that it's not quite as easy to get excited for. I'm hoping that I'll get excited for it once US gets a release date. I'm running awfully low on Ace Attorney content left unplayed, after all.
I think people are downplaying PLvsPW's quality because it's fun to hate on things. It's got its issues (the pacing in the latter half of the game, for example, is just horrid), but it's still a lot of fun seeing Layton and Phoenix interact, and the magical setting actually does a lot to breathe life into the trials.
Also, though DD might have much better characters/animation, I'd say PLvsPW has much better backgrounds/areas.
I was talking about in comparison to AA5, sorry I wasn't clear.
I'm excited to get the game, but I'm just overall pessimistic towards most crossover games (that are not fighting games). They usually try to accommodate things from different series that don't blend well together. I also got burnt out on PL games' puzzles and only wanted to read/watch the story which were quite good/interesting, so I am really looking forward to the story in PLvsPW.
There are the impressions which were mostly positive, but not exactly glowing.
Again, sorry I wasn't clear, and don't let my pessimism bog anyone else's hype down.

Hi Attorney-Gaf!
I Just finished Dual Destinies last night. It's the first Ace Attorney game I ever played and I enjoyed it a lot; the last episode was absolutely fantastic.
I'm considering trying one of the older DS games. I have no intention of playing through the entire series, so which one should I pick up?

Ah, just for the record, I wasn't referring to you when I said "people are downplaying PLvsPW's quality because it's fun to hate on things"; I've seen people posting "PLvsPW is shit, everyone knows that" and things like that.
The first three really work best as a trilogy, but if you're going to play just one, give the original (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) a try. You'll get to see Phoenix at the start of his career, which is an interesting contrast from AA5.

Hmm, hard to find a better quality version of this pic I'm using as an avatar, but this will do.
Oh and looks like I'll be hanging out here AAGAF. Been meaning to for a while but I always go on media blackout whenever there's an upcoming AA game! I've also noticed a bit of an overlap with SonicGAF... Hi Beef and BlackJace!

God, you reminded me how good 1-4 was.
