Re: [CE] [C(?)] [M] Everything's Alright ●
Everything's Alright is a tough case to review without spoiling it. Therefore, I won't post a review. At the same time, I do think this case should be reviewed, so this is a dilemma. Here is my solution, which I think is in the spirit of the thing. Why FerdieLance's Review of Everything's Alright M...

Re: [T][CE][DGS♫][SoJ♫] Curiosity of a Turnabout ●
It's one of the rules of writing science fiction and fantasy: You can make your reader swallow one porcupine, but you can't make them swallow two. - Orson Scott Card Curiosity of a Turnabout ( CoaT ) is a risk-taking, genuinely thrilling case with one Very Ill-Advised Twist (VIAT). It is immediatel...

Re: [T][CE][DGS♫][SoJ♫] Curiosity of a Turnabout ●
Thanks for the clarification! I think the "Odd Premises" theme may also have been a factor in plot points like this. In any case, I'll work on this review!

Re: [T][CE][DGS♫][SoJ♫] Curiosity of a Turnabout ●
* How did Linus manage to make a brain jar and a robot in a world where bicycles and cell phones are both marvelous ancient inventions? My first guess was that he asked Rei to get blueprints from the future , but we learn that she never told him she could view future references. He could have gotte...

Re: [T][CE][DGS♫][SoJ♫] Curiosity of a Turnabout ●
I'm working on a review! A few quick questions and thoughts - not sure if plot holes or just careless reading. * If I follow correctly, the real Talia Porter was wounded at a young age, and Linus was made to fuse her brain with the 'empty' Outcast Jr. body. Much later, she came to Linus and said som...

Re: Design Discussion (1/2017): Lawnmower Investigations
But like there is a difference between good cross-examination and bad one, there is a difference between good investigation and a bad one. We have tutorials for the former, is there any for the latter? Yes, actually. I should update that. I should update that using information from this discussion.

Re: Design Discussion (1/2017): Lawnmower Investigations
Volunteers for constructive critique added to top post. Thanks to all! --- I don't really know. I always found investigation segments to be the most tedious in any Ace Attorney game. But then, when Dual Destinies came out, I hated how linear they made the investigation, so my thoughts on this aren't...

Re: [T] A Laggy Turnabout ●
I recommend this case. It's the AAO equivalent of a candy bar - not hugely filling, but tasty while it lasts - and I like candy. Also, the prosecutor is like a candy bar on some level. One thing I find particularly impressive is the sheer range of alternative responses. Tiagofvarela clearly tested t...

Re: [T] Hugh O`Conner: Rookie Attorney - The First Turnabout
I played this through. A few comments - not quite an organized review. First off, this is a promising case in several ways. I can see that a lot of effort went into a clean presentation and solid sprite choices. In addition, it didn't overreach itself as a first case - rather than include an investi...

Re: Case Assistance Request Topic
