I just completed pic related. It isn't terrible, but still a bit underwhelming. The characters are kinda bland and the mysteries weren't that interesting. I must admit admit I had high expectations going into this, because this was directed by Shu Takumi, who amazed me both with the original Ace Attorney trilogy and ghost trick.
Anyone else played this? Also, is the second game better? I wonder if I should still give it a shot.
It was litteraly only made so takumi could complete the original idea he had of ace attorney. A rookie detective correcting the other detective’s faulty reasoning

I’d say the second game is about the same. But the problem with daigyaku is that you need to play 2. Unlike the original ace attorney trilogy, the daigyaku duology can’t exist without the other. You can jump into ace attorney 1,2 or 3 without any real hindrance. But for daigyaku, mostly everything revolves around the plot. So it isn’t self sustained as the others. Japan didn’t like it for this reason apparently. I thought it was pretty good. I loved the ice coin puzzle in the second game
Anthony Nelson
Yeah, I thought as much. There were many mysteries that they never resolved through the game. I figured that they will get back to them in the second game.
Wyatt Scott
I will never not be mad the way they killed the mentor right off the bat again.
Jonathan Evans
It’s like poetry.
Sebastian Jackson
I love the style of this game and the cases aren't bad either. It's much better than Apollo justice at least.
Austin Howard
I really want to play this one, but the hoops I'd be needing to jump through seem like a major pain in the balls. Almost seems like it would be easier to just learn japanese. Fuck you, Shoe Takumi for not wanting to pay the Holmes people, you are fucking your fans in the ass, you ratfaced little cunt.
David Watson
How complex is the Japanese?
Michael Hall
Mid tier. It’s easy enough to understand if you have a couple of years under your belt. There isn’t any archaic japanese.
Ian Jackson
Do they make Holmes speak a specific Western dialect?
Jaxson Kelly
No. Everyone talks normal. Except for your run of the mill cookey character which will show up in most ace attorneys. The only one who will give you troue is soseki
Nathan Wood
Trouble how

The second game is amazing, it's a direct sequel that directly address all the foreshadowing introduced in the first game and then some
You shouldn't see them as separate game, just the first half and second half, literally all the cases of the first game are shown in a new light in the second game, even the lady stabbed in the back case
You don't seriously think it's his decision, do you?
Jonathan Long
Is this part 2? If so, I haven't really played it myself, as the patch isn't out yet, but I watched some subbed gameplay and I agree. Especially the ending is really underwhelming and immersion breaking. Like, c'mon, holographs, really? I feel like the game would've been 100x better without the little girl and sherlock holmes
Jaxson Diaz
oh it's part 1. Yeah, part 1 is really bad, don't read my spoiler as it's for part 2
