every single person ive seen getting hella salty over the new assassins creed games were once really huge fans and invested so much time, love, and money on this fucking franchise and all we want is to see our once favorite video game series die with the last shred of dignity it has left
i really hate that EA rushed DA2 because it had soooo much potential and easily had the best cast out of the DA series imo, but because it was considered a “””bad””” game throughout the fandom i’m afraid bioware is going to fall back on everything that was good about the game for future installments? you can already see it happening with inquisition like…
there’s more of an emphasis on epic adventure than on socialization
there are more ~amazing~ party members who have already established their place in the world rather than a bunch of nobodies who are trying to figure out where they fit in
there’s more emphasis on characters’ development responding to you rather than growing independently of the player
there were far less meaningful emotional punches overall, and no i don’t count here lies the abyss because it was such a cheap shot at the player and not so much at anyone in game, save maybe varric
there was no interpretive ending so there’s nothing left to be desired after the fact. for me once the game was over it was over and i honestly didn’t care to imagine what happened to the cast after the game because everything wrapped up too well, save for what happened to solas and hawke.
don’t get me wrong DA:I was objectively a good game, but it just didn’t have the same heart to it that DA2 had, and i hate that everything good about DA2 is going to be overlooked and has already been overlooked because it was considered a “flop.”
occasionally i get asks about where to play ace attorney, so i thought i’d make a little guide to help out!!
so if you’re ready to start the attorney journey, pump up the jam and get out your attorney’s badge because here we go
THE SERIES:
» this is the chronological order of the series. look at this list to make sure you’re downloading/playing the games in the correct order!
» although each game is made so that you can play it without having played its predecessor, i highly recommend playing every game in order.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Ace Attorney: Justice for All
Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Ace Attorney Investigations (spin off series with miles edgeworth; released after apollo justice; can be played at any time as long as you have knowledge of any of the first three games)
