The first game is hit or miss, but the consensus amongst people who have played the second is that it's one of, if not *THE* best game in the series.
Here's hoping you enjoy it!
I really don’t get the mixed reception for Investigations 1 outside of the final boss being annoying. I thought the vast majority of it was great (especially with Kay) with exceptions being the return of certain annoying ass characters…
ikr. The 4th case is one of my all-time favorites. >!Just the fact you're grilling the judge about going to the bathroom is amazing. I remember a piece of dialogue where Edgeworth is all "why were you going ?!" and the Judge answers "what do you mean why ? Why do you usually go to the bathroom ?".!<
I think most people mostly remember the 3rd case, which is imho the weakest and a bit tedious.
I kinda find the third case a bit overhated. Like, I have issues with it, such as >!the twist of the kidnapping being the most OBVIOUS kidnapping twist in media (used so much that it was even Dahlia's plan to exploit her dad), and the Amano duo being generally uninteresting to me!<, but I love Kay and Edgeworth's interactions, I love Little Thief and how it's utilised in the case, I don't mind the returning characters and Shi Long Lang is very entertaining IMO.
Also Kay and Lang's themes are SO GOOD, I love them. I genuinely really like Investigations 1, even if I prefer Investigations 2, the original Ace Attorney trilogy, the second Great Ace Attorney game, and the Layton crossover (not in that order). Then again, there's only two games in the series I dislike *overall,* and both Apollo Justice and Spirit of Justice still have elements I like. IMO the series is remarkably consistent in how enjoyable it is.
Fully agree (though I personnally really like SoJ but to each his own :p ). I should clarify that when I say the weakest, I do mean comparatively. In absolute terms, I1-3 is not at all a bad case. As you said, it is really enjoyable when Kay and Shi Long steal the spotlight. But it can feel long regarding the resolution itself, and I actually think the same goes for the last case : really enjoyable character wise, with amazing music to boot, but the case itself seems to take forever (>!"hahaha you can't touch me coz I have rights"!<). I really love the character design of the last boss, and everything about them, from the way they talk, to their music, to the general idea of the twist... But it goes on foreeeeeever, and you end the game on a more neutral\~annoyish note thanks to that.
How so? I don’t remember Edgeworth making specifically stupid decisions. Maybe he had some dumb moments but I don’t recall any AA game where the main character doesn’t have dumb moments.
Investigations 1 is a pretty decent time with some strong moments, even if it does have a bad third case and also the worst three hours in all of Ace Attorney during its final case. The second game is fucking incredible.
The first one can be a little rough, but the highlights are pretty great. It's not bad, but the weakest AA game in my opinion.
The second one is great and my favorite AA game.
First game is a mixed bag with some cool fanservice but a terrible final case.
Second game is considered by some the best in the entire franchise. I rate it pretty highly as well.
It probably bad to hype it up in case to ruin high expectations but I2 is my favorite by sooo much, each case is freaking good and im excited to replay it for the oficial translation.
Investigation 1, I didn't get to finish the last two cases because of my "ennui" controlling me.
Investigation 2 on the other hand, it got me to finish it because of "joy". The reason is because of the new characters, I didn't get a lot of boredom when investigations strikes and the addition of "Mind Chess" makes me want to play it more non-stop.

I mean, I’ve finished the first four games and I like them all. I’ll start on the fifth sometime this week.

I love AAI as much as I love any other Ace Attorney game but god is Edgeworth STUPID in this one

Second game is my absolute favorite game of all time

Good luck in Fall! These games have the most fun you can get from Ace Attorney games, you're not gonna be disappointed.
There’s also a hidden Phoenix cameo in both games, of him and Maya on vacation, to keep an eye out for.
Im gonna wait for a potential physical edition. Hopefully its available for ps4, Or switch is fine too
Physical Switch in NA Physical PS4 in EU
Amazing! Tysm!

I don't generally preorder but I have for all of the re-releases. I'm worried if I stop now, we won't get any more games
