#relevant concerning her speech tonight lol

[lesbianmarth]

it’s been a while since i posted about aa but i just finished soj in its entirety tonight. here’s my new list so far

i still have to give thoughts on cases 4 5 and dlc so that’ll be under a cut. spoilers!

6-4: this was such a filler case, almost shamefully so. i don’t know why they thought they could manage to do this in the 4th case when every game with 5 cases has been pretty consistent about making the 4th case plot relevant, sometimes literally just a preamble to case 5. so yeah i think this one was kinda ass

the two things it had going for it: one, athena. in 6-2 i actually got confused about why i ever liked her, because in that case she felt like she was just acting the part of the Peppy Teen Girl With a Rowdy Streak that makes up almost every assistant character. But then as SOON as she started bantering with Simon in 6-4 i was like “oh, THAT’S why i liked her!” was nice to take control of her again.

two, uendo toneido. while i don’t think you can say the DID was portrayed with quite the necessary respect or kindness, it was handled better than i’ve seen other media handle it-- at least it’s not completely demonized. other people have written more on that in better detail so i’m not really the judge, but the basic point is that this witness was mad fun to read, and even the dumb jokes like the changing number of floor cushions were entertaining. thus why this case is in the “hard carried by one side character” tier.

especially since there was like nothing else going on. no connection to the main plot, only two other characters besides uendo, and for some reason the clown tits girl was here instead of the magic show case (and to be honest, she wasn’t enjoyable for me even BEFORE she did the standard aa female villain thing and changed her speech pattern as soon as she fell under suspicion). just a weird, nothing case stuck right around the point aa games usually enter endgame. And especially weird because...

6-5 part 1: inexplicably there are two separate cases in the final chapter and each gets one day of investigation and trial. such a weird setup, and it really shouldn’t work... but i think it kinda barely does. barely. it would still have been better to split it into case 4 and case 5 though.

i have a hard time articulating much on the first case bc it sort of blends together for me. the main thing is that the concept of it being a civil case where apollo and phoenix face off is really good. it was a good change of pace, even though you knew it was gonna be a murder somehow anyway. sarge was reasonably nice, i guess, paul atishon had some good animations and quirks (my favorite being when he tries to just walk away from the stand to avoid answering a question), and the logic of the actual murder was good enough.

but i especially got those strong “oh this is a FINAL case!” vibes during the segment in the cave, and that added so much to it even if not much of it was relevant in the first half of the case. the adventure feel reminded me of some of the (out of context bc i still havent played it) scenes i know from 3-5, which is a good association to invoke imo. and it did a lot to give apollo and dhurke time to bond.

speaking of which, dhurke, holy shit. what a KING. i don’t think i’ve ever liked a dad character in ace attorney this much. he’s so genuine and like down to earth that it’s impossible not to start liking him and believe how much he cares for his sons. the bit where he rescued apollo from the cave flood... i felt it in my heart

6-5 part 2: let me just get this out of the way: ga’ran sucks. her design after she goes full evil is so bad, she’s so malicious that it’s immediately obvious she’s going to be the culprit, her breakdown is ridiculous and just embarrassing to watch, and inga had already established way more charisma as a villain when he did the “those were orders of execution actually” bit in 6-3. with that said,

i actually liked it for the most part. the spirit channeling stuff was excellent imo-- they probably use it to similar or greater effect in 3-5 but as someone who again has not played that, i was surprised and almost impressed by how well it was applied. maya was relevant for something! it feels like it’s been ages!

rayfa was a little underutilized, i think-- her moment of determination where she stops letting ga’ran have control over her was alright but it fell flat bc it didn’t have any weight during the moment. i kept hoping she would like, wordlessly take of her shawl and do the little verbal preamble to the divination seance while ga’ran kept yelling at her to stop, but no, the script can’t be good like that, i guess. and since she didn’t get to be the investigation assistant for long, none of her charm in that role carried through.

but DHURKE!! oh my god! in a game almost devoid of emotional impact, his involvement in this case really hit. the way they painstakingly animated his death, the scene where he makes a promise with maya, and then the weight of knowing in hindsight that everything he did in the first part of the case was after he’d already died and just wanted to see his son again before passing on for real....... it hurt. i felt something during that section. this case would also be hard carried by him if not for the fact that i really liked the murder bits.

amara was good too--liked how they made her suspiciously serene and accentuated it with the lightning strikes to make her look like a hidden murderer character about to reveal herself, only to walk it back and confirm she was being forced to act that way. i thought it worked. nahyuta was boring though, i’m sorry-- i get the motivation with having to be a bastard bc his sister and mom were basically held hostage, but the only time i found him compelling in that mess was the bit where he removed his one fingerless glove and revealed he still has the dragon tattoo. that was it. athena was also completely unused the whole case (not even a single mood matrix? really?) and trucy one again went without any role of importance.

the ending also... yknow, a friend said they had to end it this way bc they never figured out what they were going to do with apollo (since following up on what they started in aa4 clearly wasn’t an option???) and just threw him on a bus to get rid of him. i agree with that-- he really feels thrown to the side, and with that i think trucy’s officially stranded with no hope of any character advancement. and the way they ended the game with phoenix and lamiroir deciding “yeah, maybe NOW we should finally tell those two they’re related” honestly felt insulting lol

but maybe the dlc case will let things go out on a high note...?!

6-6: it was okay.

it would’ve worked pretty well as a filler case in an older aa-- honestly i think it’d be one of the better filler cases, certainly worth replacing the shitty ones like 2-3 or 3-3 or, hey, 6-4. but whether i’d say it was worth paying for... eh.

the time travel conceit was done well enough, i think. the way they tied it back to sorin and pierce’s backstories was nice, and the twist about having two receptions was good, although they needed to treat that as a real twist with much more gravity. when the truth comes out it just feels like “oh of course that’s what happened” rather than a big surprise worthy of the Confessing the Truth theme. it’s sort of important because the case becomes a lot less interesting when you take out the time travel element.

far as characters are concerned, i think they needed more side characters to sell the whole thing-- another sprocket family member or another servant of the household. it felt a little limited-- sorin and pierce are pretty good witnesses and i like their quirks and their secrets, but the only alive woman (ellen) has very few traits and no connection to the deeper story of the case, so she falls really flat. the old aa characters didn’t add much- maya and edgeworth were just there for fanservice, ema didn’t get to do much other than acknowledge for the first time in years that she’s a big edgeworth fan, and larry is annoying as hell like he always is.

and oh my god i actually forgot while i was writing that, how they put in athena and trucy but only used them for brief slapstick where trucy would try to set athena on fire and shit. again-- no mood matrix? couldn’t even try once to fit those two characters into something?

i did like pierce’s transformation into his surgeon form though-- that was really cool. loved him doing surgery on a robot, taking xrays of the lawyers, and his breakdown was fantastic-- he would make a really good culprit if they didn’t whiff the last bit of pathos at the end. i don’t think he should’ve been aiming for revenge on sorin; it would have hurt much more if he was still loyal to the guy and never intended for him to be in danger, but the final “why’d you do it?” talk in the trial just felt flat and one-note, much like the one in 6-4.

... so that’s spirit of justice! not a super positive experience but i’m happy to say it’s done. as much as i want to go and replay dgs, i think when i do go back to ace attorney i’ll be replaying the trilogy for the first time since high school

Star Jones: Eastwood ‘drunk Uncle Harry,’ hurls slur at Artur Davis

http://twitter.com/#!/StarJonesEsq/status/241359111273459713

Disgusting.

Little Miss Elitist Star was sure in a tizzy over Clint Eastwood’s appearance at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., last night. This wasn’t the first time the RNC drove her to expose her hateful heart. Here is some revolting racism that she hurled at Artur Davis the other night.

Look…Working in the FIELD is hard work. He must REALLY like working "in the HOUSE!"> #ArturDavis switches to #GOP? http://t.co/kTLlV5H2

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 28, 2012

Hey @SamuelLJackson I thought #django wasn't coming out til Christmas!> #ArturDavis Speaking to the RNC? http://t.co/5igTE6s9

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 28, 2012

Like the repugnant cretins who vandalized Mia Love’s WikiPedia page, Star Jones seems to be calling Mr. Jones a “House N-word” and a slave. I suppose we should be grateful that she left out the last word, although it’s clearly implied, and that she didn’t throw in the despicable “token” and “Uncle Tom” as well.

Of course #ArturDavis can think differently than I do…but to do it for political expediency exposes his core values or lack thereof…

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 28, 2012

No core values? Look in the mirror, Ms. Jones. It is you who believes that all black people must think alike and stay on the Democrat plantation. It is you, and your party, who hurl despicable slurs at black men and women for daring to embrace freedom and an ideology that furthers that freedom, instead of infringing upon it.

Shame. Shame on you.

Last night, she added some elitist elder-bashing to the racist mix.

Who has a party for HIMSELF & needs a celeb to come make it interesting?> #ClintEastwood #GOP #Romney Mystery Speaker http://t.co/Yh6ZzNKz

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 30, 2012

Uh. “Real journalist”? It’s called a convention. Read up on it. She then told Rubio to “recognize.” How dare he criticize The One? Surprisingly, no Latino bashing from her. Yet.

No. @BarackObama isn't RUNNING for #POTUS…HE IS THE #POTUS! #YOUbetterRecognize!>Rubio asks, "Do you think [Obama's] watching tonight?"

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 31, 2012

Then she continued with an unhinged rant over Clint Eastwood. Wow, he really got to you, huh, lefties?

I bet the hell he was. Now WHO approved that?>RT @CBSNews: RT @SarahH_CBSNJ: Romney campaign says Eastwood was "ad libbing."

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 31, 2012

On the most important day of #MittRomney career…he allows 80 year old #DirtyHarry to "ad lib." Oh yeah, I want that genius as #POTUS.

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 31, 2012

Well, at least #GOP can't blame #POTUS #OBAMA for adding another person to the Unemployment Rolls…'cause whoever approved #Clint is FIRED!

LOL>RT @jdickerson: For those who don't think Mitt Romney has had to overcome obstacles: Clint Eastwood.

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 31, 2012

That tweet was from John Dickerson, a political correspondent for Slate and political director CBS News. What media bias?

How concerned is #Romney camp about how #ClintEastwood played? They released a statement DURING their nominee's speech! LORD…SMH

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 31, 2012

Admittedly, I'm a #Democrat…but for the life of me, I don't understand what the #GOP was thinking having #ClintEastwood on that stage.

— Star Jones (@StarJonesEsq) August 31, 2012

Shocker!

On the night he becomes #GOP nominee for #POTUS…#MittRomney lets a daffy delusional #ClintEastwood be the main topic coming out of #RNC.

I'm going to have a glass of wine and go to bed…SMH the whole time. When I wake up, thankfully this #RNC debacle will be over. Night all.
